First Time Uber Driving Advice

[@hixinstix]

Sage words of wisdom, thank you. I live in a pretty busy resort city and my first day had my head spinning. I had no clue about turning off new requests and my phone got steadily pinged with trips. I was giddy and overwhelmed and ended up accepting a 3-hour trip. Ugh. Due to the circumstances, I kept that trip and got some very nice people to their destination in a large metro area. I felt pretty good about helping those folks and neglected to turn off the app. My phone went crazy with trip requests and i then learned my lesson about not accepting trips. When i returned home later, i quickly started learning more. I wish i had done that earlier.😀 You’ve really done a great job of getting the basics out to newbies with this video.

Wow! That must have been crazy! And yeah, we all make mistakes our first few times out. Thank you for the kind words!

The luxury of being able to stop and analyze at your job makes me envious.

That's one of the benefits of gig work.

Thank you so much for your suggestions! Everything you stated make sense to me from a new part time Uber driver perspective. I must admit, the best part about this side gig is meeting great folks & listening to their stories, if they are open to conversation. And as a newbie, I also have to confess that I made a mistake of driving in the airport & downtown in San Diego, which is a big Uber location...it was stressful to say the least...However, I am trying to get slowly acclimated to such driving. Keep these great videos coming to benefit the ride share community! God Bless..subscribed.

This is a really good video. Wish I had watched something like this before my first ride. Great stuff.

Right!? I think a lot of people think rideshare is the same thing as driving your car. But it’s so much more complicated than that. Thank you for watching!❤️
