Patience is a virtue. Went home got a second shower. Got out and got this!

So from 7:34am til 9:04am you made $10.26 on a minimum fare trip and took a SECOND shower?

Thats $10.26 for 90 minutes of time. How on earth is that better than getting $39 plus any potential tip for 84 minutes? Oh and you are in Anaheim at 9am when Disney is opening.

I can count on one hand the number of showers that I would’ve paid $28 for………😂😉🤣

Did I miss sarcasm here? Please say I missed the sarcasm.

This really exposes that for the most part, driver time is worth nothing to them, drivers are worth nothing. Drivers are like Chinese ants: completely replaceable.

Easy there buddy. 84 minutes is not really that long of time. Broken down by hour this pays $27.85/hr from accepting the ride to drop off. A good rideshare driver should have no more than $5-$7/hr in expenses. So worst case this job pays $20/hr after expenses. Not “great” but by no means should $20/hr be considered Uber not caring about the drivers time. In your city of Milwaukee the minimum wage according to Google is $7.25. This one way trip pays nearly three times that. 👀

Furthermore, part of upfront fares is how busy it is at drop off location. It ends in Anaheim, the biggest city in OC around 9am, a very busy time of the day. There are a plethora of trips to Disneyland, John Wayne Airport, Long Beach airport, LAX and downtown LA. Potentially with surge. So a good paying fare out of Anaheim is almost guaranteed.

The only thing that makes this trip unacceptable is the fact that it’s 7:34am so the potential for high surge is always looming. I probably would only have jumped on it if I was an OC or SD driver looking to get back after an LA drop off. LA drivers would wait for something surge staying in LA county. It’s a driver preference thing, not a bad offer problem. IMO. 👊🏻

I was

I was being sarcastic to the comment before saying to wait for a better ride.

Phewwwww

DIVIDED BY TWO... YOU HAVE TO COME BACK

No you don’t. In fact you’re an idiot if you go from LA to Anaheim and deliberately drive back without a fare. It’s about knowing your markets. Anaheim is the largest city in OC and has Disneyland. The drop off was 9am. Probably took less than 10 minutes to find a ping to LAX or DTLA.

Is that your strategy? Drive back to where you started to wait for the next ride? Hint: you’re doing it wrong. 👊🏻

if you're not dead-heading back or only given ant-it offers, and if the time estimate is accurate given heading into rush-hours traffic (and not getting 1-starred for not hitting the time estimate).

Getting a little desperate here aren’t we? One stars for not hitting a time estimate? That’s comical. I already mentioned 9am in Anaheim would be impossible to not get a ride to LA. Almost a ZERO percent chance of needing to deadhead.

Your expenses estimate might be low, CA gas is $6+/gallon, and X is burning maybe 2 gallons, so that plus maint. costs and vehicle depreciation is...would you say $38.28 -$12 -($0.30 x 32 miles) = $17 / 90 minutes = $11.25 to $13 hour, roughly? In CA that's not a lot of $$$, IMHO. Maybe I'm wrong?

You are very wrong. For starters, 32 miles is NOT two gallons unless the traffic was idling about 3 hours. Its one gallon for most and 2/3 of a gallon for Prius’s. So your gas estimate is exaggerated by at least $6.

THEN you double dipped by using the .30 figure WHICH ALREADY INCLUDES FUEL. So you now have added another $3ish that isn’t real.

Lastly you are committing the mistake of analyzing it and an individual ride rather than factoring any possibility that there may be a short high surges trip at the end of the rainbow in Anaheim.

So humbly speaking, you were wrong on just about every point……..
