Love how all your videos end with the positivity of returning home. Always have smiling faces waiting for you, much love!

Thanks homeslice352! Many of us take coming home for granted like it’s a guarantee.

I’m the guy with the ruckus! Just learned I can have both a scooter and car on the Uber account. Gonna use scooter mode exclusively when on the ruckus now. Don’t wanna get reported.

[@EddieBenitez3]

Hey what's up bro! I tried to reply to your original comment but it went away. Okay cool good to know!

[@OregonRedStrider]

I just did my first uber delivery today. My town isn't very big but has enough people in it to have dedicated doordash parking areas. The second I went online with uber I got a five dollar order and the dropoff was down the road from my house. A mile total. I was on my bike too which made it even more surprising. Loving the videos man, keep it up! Once I have enough saved I plan on doing some videos on my bike. Saving up for a DJI camera.

[@EddieBenitez3]

Nice! Thank you! Those DJI cameras are a great choice! Let me know when you post your first video!

[@DoctorBaconlung]

Was looking bleak early on but you brought it back a bit. Worst part about this is how spotty the work can be. Hopefully you'll have better luck in car mode on the motorcycle.

[@EddieBenitez3]

Always appreciate your support Doc!

[@Shana_Fana87]

When you said, “I think I should turn left on east Hyde park blvd. I’m not sure though.” I was saying exactly that in my head. 🤣🤣🤣

[@EddieBenitez3]

lol

[@iandrew6347]

Yet another great video Sir I felt sorry for that woman who came off her scooter that is going to hurt. You have a lovely dog . Watching from the U.K.

[@EddieBenitez3]

she was in a bit of pain :( thank you Ian. Cheers!

[@khanrides]

Mrs Benitez always makes the most 🔥 thumbnails

[@EddieBenitez3]

She was very thankful when I read this to her. Thanks Khan!

[@KinokoCardano]

I appreciate you always uploading these delivery videos, Eddie! Noticing all the little things has really helped with my deliveries. ^_^ I have your drink setup and it’s saved me so much hassle.. I hate drink orders lol

[@EddieBenitez3]

and I appreciate you taking the time to watch them and comment as well thank you! I hate them as well. I have plenty of drink order nightmares. but this set up is holding up extremely well. now I ride with more confidence.

[@ICanUntieAnyKnot]

So they paid the money to go put a 'don't lock bikes here' sign up but didn't install an actual place to lock the bikes. SMH

[@EddieBenitez3]

what's up with that!?

[@jeff91199]

@@EddieBenitez3 That's a garbage building, man. I drop off there all the time, but for what it's worth, have never seen them cut bikes off. The day I hear about it is the day their customers start 'Arriving' downstairs to meet me outside.

[@hyemuhyemu8221]

I'm surprised you did woodlawn and Hyde park at the end. I've had pretty good luck in Hyde Park. The combination of plenty of students ordering and wealthier residents who can tip good makes for a usually good spot

[@EddieBenitez3]

I do the entire city lately I just chose to do downtown because I know most people like to see that area of Chicago. But I go everywhere.

[@ToastyCourier]

I hear some people still busy in Chicago. I don’t think Uber would affect bikers negatively, that would be odd. I have the same experience, making about $60 with a six hour day. Last year was three times better . It sucks.

[@EddieBenitez3]

Glad to hear some people are still busy give me hope

[@charliemack9702]

Yooooooo Edie you are &$#@ NUTS 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Man ant no way I’m riding my bike way to 50 NOTHING from downtown 😂😂😂 WOW!!! Uber can jump in the lake with that damn Trip Radar crap lol!! But yeah....I really do believe your right about Uber making some Executive decisions with bike riders 🤔 I really wanna go to Uber at the old post office building and have a meeting 😀 Like why would Uber send anyone on a bike ( thank goodness yours can get to these places very quick) 4.5miles for $11dlrs and three orders 😳 That’s crazy!!

[@EddieBenitez3]

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

[@Jesusloveswhitetoes]

Yeah it’s been dead recently man.. was surprised too cuz holidays especially if it lands on a weekend is busy but not last week unfortunately:/ idk what’s going on with Uber

I worked last Friday. I made $0.00. I gave up after 3 hours. Not 1 single delivery request from uber.

That answers that question. I guess I wasn't alone lol

Mr. Benitez what is your total riding distance for four hours of Uber Eats food delivery work? Devils payout: Lowball (I know) whenever one of my neighbors where I reside take over...the orders that come in are 2/3$ and I drive a car for Uber Food Deliveries. (devils are a bunch of phonies (lol)).

[@EddieBenitez3]

I honestly haven't been keeping track of the info but my estimate is 20-26 miles.

[@kavinbell4621]

Man they had you out in the burbs, it seems they are trying to weed out the ebike's from Uber eats by the way is that a mid drive or a hub drive, I though I seen a hub motor but wasn't sure. How fast does that thing go and what kind of ebike is it. You probably said in a previous video but I haven't really been paying attention lol

[@Shana_Fana87]

I think he said the name was Delfast prime bike. I’m not sure which one though.

in milwaukee, bicycle deliveries are dead. i spent 3.5 hours and made $15. used to do pretty good with uber. i think the algorithm is now putting us bikers last. over saturation of drivers is not helping either.

[@EddieBenitez3]

yeah its tough out here as well. same here. agreed!
