My school allows us to charge for free. However I use superchargers on weekends during off peak hours to keep cost low.

We don’t have premier in LA. I just pluck away with all the tiers.

What’s def crazy is I find myself doing more Lyft these days than Uber. I will only accept ones that make sense. Nice job on getting the $260!!! That’s a nice chump of change for sure. I don’t know the innner workings of Lyft and Uber but I do know each week between the 2 apps I’m definitely grabbing $1800-$2000 by being selective. You can too

This video is part 1 of 2. You always get proof.

Meaning location where you are headed?

Hell no!!!!!!!! They do not get free advertising out of me

A good question. Online means I’m available for work if you send me a profitable ride. I can sit at home all day and if I don’t get a profitable ride, I won’t leave the house. End result I don’t use resources, and I don’t lose opportunity cost of doing something that makes me $.

Same!!! Ty

35 hours total, $15 charging cost. I charge for free majority of the time.

@@DriveLikeASniper how do you charge for free

Def gotta multi app. I keep both on and once I get ride turn other one off after pickup just incase passenger cancels before. 3 mins before drop off I turn both apps on again. I wait max opportunity to decide

Yup. Answer on other post

Most def I didn’t. They don’t mean a thing to me. Like the LA Rams say f them draft picks. I say f em online hours.

Gold blue platinum is all bullshit!! Just take profitable rides and repeat. Promise u that’s the secret sauce

Yea I feel u. But can’t take bs that don’t make sense u know.

I wouldn’t even mess with the advantage standard crap. My strategy lately has been driving less with Uber and more Lyft just for the $150 bonus. Still keeping miles low. Demand good in vero beach?

@@DriveLikeASniper vero beach is literally dead all the time

Hahaha!! You’re not wrong. I’m finding yea u can, it’s just gonna cost more than I’m willing to give.

Drive time usually around 2-4 during the week. Weekends, I’ll drive around 7-9 hours at most per day. I’ll drive as long as there is money in the streets.

@@DriveLikeASniper So drive time is 2-4hours. But being outside for like 7-8hours cherry picking? Love your content btw

Thanks for the comment, I appreciate that! During the week I’m cherry picking as always. I’m actually at home and if a ride/delivery that makes sense I’ll get the ping at home and then do it and come back home. At night time when there is no traffic is when I’d get out the house. Weekends bc demand is high is when I’ll stay out the house. I could be out the house 10 hours and drive 7-9 hours sometimes less depending on the quality of rides. Cherry pick cherry pick. Always

@@DriveLikeASniper ever since i downloaded lyft and started driving for them my uber got slow. Being active and driving outside for 8-9hours but only being active and paid for 4-5hours. And i do this fulltime 😭 would love to meet you in person sometime man and get some pointers/strategy. Drinks or lunch or whatever on me man.

Would love to. Let’s make it happen. Come to Westside, I’ll help u

Yea def makes a difference

No my exit strategy is in few months.

Online hours don’t mean shit. I’m at home online now. Chilllllling

Honestly I don’t even care about the rating. I’m about profits. I greet everyone and I say bye. I rarely speak unless they engage the convo.

Rigggggght of course. Yet here u are commenting on a “taxi drivers” KZbin page

I don’t do pickups more than 6 mins away.

exactly my point. while he was recording he barely got any pings...

I’m always at home during week. Weekends demand is high and I don’t have to wait very long btwn profitable rides. I’ve got a great life tbh

And I’m so much better now than I was then. It’s offers are worse but I’m smarter about getting my coin

It takes strategy for sure

Congrats on making a useless comment. Go kick rocks

Yeah I don't get this lmao

@manuelrosario2107 The issue is that Uber has consistently lowered drivers rates over the last few years, and they prey on new drivers with shit cars. The consistent inflow of people just accepting all rides kills the profitability, and it becomes essentially a way to pull cash out of your vehicle. Operational cost for most UberX vehicles are around .30 cents a mile. That means most of the time you aren't really making money, once you factor in oil changes, tires, brakes, gas etc. You could say just go get another job, but some of us like doing courier work, or transportation. Remove Uber's corporate greed and up to 60% cuts of driver pay, and we will start taking every ride again... TL:DR Those 3 doller uberx rides are actually paid for by the driver, and that isn't even close to fair.

Loveeeeeeee your comment!!!!!

Lmfao!!!! We know your voice 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. God bless u.

Fantastic. Thanks for the comment

That’s why I would never do Uber, I speed and I don’t want no one telling me how to drive. For some people doing 50 in a 40 is speeding. I’m doing 55 minimum sorry.

Hahhahahahhahahahahha!!

Your driver I can most definitely guarantee gave you a 1 star, I would have. The minute anyone complains its 1 star and gtfo of my car. When your rating is low enough drivers won't pick you up. I mean, who do you think you are? You're taking the cheapest form of transportation and you're acting like the king of England! Hire your own driver if you're such a boss! That's what I thought uza brokie getting off on trying to bully someone. Keep going around trying to fuck up someone's job and watch them show up at your house. Oh, we know who gave us the 1 Star! You're just mad cuz you work a bullshit ass job, ya life is shitty and you feel important when someone picks ya funky ass up. Some people don't play that and you will fuck around and find out. LOL Keep thinking your shit doesn't stink.

This whole comment section is confusing. You said your driver was speeding, and people are defending the driver for speeding? He chose to drive people to and from places, yet breaks the law in the process and people think that's okay?

I see ur perspective but I wouldn’t say I wasted. I protected my opportunity cost because I was at home doing something that I wanted to do. So having app on is just saying I’m available for something that fits my threshold. I also have a remote job. So if I’m home and a $30 3 mile Uber eats order comes in I’ll do it and head back home. I’ve wasted no time and my resources are preserved. Goal is really to get 5-6 rides a day while I’m in comfort of my home. That’s my strategy.

@@DriveLikeASniper And that is how you do it. Layering. I was concerned you were sitting in a parking lot somewhere, but that is a perfect strategy. One I am employing is looking for good flappable items on marketplace at the end destination. Every once in awhile I can get a really good deal, then flip it myself later at home. I have a hybrid SUV so I got the storage space. I figure getting paid to go pick up an item I bid 30% on is a fun profit layering strategy.

@@RokkBeard this is smart I'm always trolling the fb marketplace I might have to try something similar

@@zo3997 My last pick was 25 dollars for 2 designer end tables... A single one goes on Ebay for 400 +220 shipping. I have a set now... 2 hours of sanding and finishing and that could yield $1000 for the set, more if I can find a matching coffee table...

For real!!!

I would’ve taken a lot of those offers. At the end of the day you made more than your gas cost.

That’s a given but the time allotment is importantly along w opportunity cost. I rather not move than drive for peanuts.

Short quick rides are a good strategy for sure

@@DriveLikeASniperfact sometimes long ride shows good money however you will drive long in freeways , 30 minutes in freeway= 50 minutes in residential or regular road i don’t take long trips

Yea I’ll do a long ride if they pay is right. Mostly night time when traffic is slower

@@DriveLikeASniper i do like night time rides, and long trip at night pay good but sometimes it’s is hard to get trips back.

True

Hunger makes people make bad decisions. I like to think being prepared to change strategy when needed is where many drivers can get better. Nice job on the AR!

Saying hi to you from LA!! Love the 4%!!

Best avail is ride share insurance w personal insurance. The thing is even if u get into an accident on the app, it’s really bullshit. They don’t want to pay for shit and will do everything and anything but pay u. I got him by driver in Jan while driving on app. They’ve yet to pay and I wasn’t at fault.

@@DriveLikeASniperin regards to converted clients , what are you using to keep track of revenue for tax purposes? Or are you keeping it under the table?

Prob not smart to answer that on public forum

@@ABP760 I use the solo app

Lmfao!!!!! My hero. My shining star. Atta boy!!

Ty! Soooo trash!!

If it’s during the week, I’m mostly at home like right now. I drive mostly late night hours into early mornings. Weekends I’m in bar areas in Venice/santa Monica. You’ll normally find me watching movies or KZbin videos on my Tesla when it’s slow. Close to beach & people watching. I like your content btw

Time is the more important metric in rides like this. $20 for 40 min is 30/hr before expenses. He’s grossing $75+/hr.

Btw it wasn’t $20 it was $17.32. That’s $25.98/hr

Well said!

@@DriveLikeASniper Idk man, if i can assure 20+ an hour i ain't gonna sit around. But thats just me. Especially if i know my area and I can get him there sooner. Cuz these apps be taking us some weirdo routes.

I understand your perspective bc that could be what your market offers. I’ve consistently made over $40 an hour so I refuse to do $20+ an hour. It’s like participating in your own wage cut, you are doing same work as before, you’ve gotten better at the craft, and according to ratings you are quite good at the job- here’s a pay cut for your hard work. And we are to say THANK YOU BOSS?

Economics right, what’s in it for me. In b school we learned a baker doesn’t sell bread to feed your family, they sell bread to make money to feed THEIR family. You just so happen to be able to also feed your family w their bread.
