Just No 😂

[@TheVenomSquad007]

You missed one. NEVER ever ever give a ride if SOMEONE else ordered it for them. 1. Safety issues. Problems happen because it’s not their account. AND 2. They will NEVER TIP! I did an experiment 3 years ago, 30 of them, NONE tipped and I gave them Uber Black as an upgrade for FREE. Never again!

[@Havoc3745]

If you look at the date and times you can tell this is a weekend trip during peak hours. So yes you can cherrypick but the window is so small that it's a strategy that works for 2 to 3 hours of the day on the weekend. In those two hours you can make $36-$40 an hour but then it will go right back to the same $22.

[@HarringJess]

Exactly. Plus these screenshots are from 2023 - - we are halfway through 2024, Sergio

It was right before Christmas. That's the golden window.

[@davidnichols6971]

Lyft has no cherries left to pick. If you want mileage, don't take anything over $10.

[@ricky4673]

With lyft, you drive for tips. 2 dollar trips downtown. People give 2.50 average tips. That 4.50. 6 trips in an hour is nearly 30 an hour. Only works in some markets. Otherwise, lyft is gatbage.

[@davidnichols6971]

I mentioned Lyft, only because I quit Uber almost 2 years a go, for many reasons. Uber is actually worse than Lyft. I tell Lyft that being better than Uber is not anything to be proud of, because it's nearly impossible to be worse. Where I am, no ride over $10 has any value, other than to get ONE SUCH RIDE to get to a busier area. Then, I set a 10 mile filter.

[@JoeS-i9p]

The clowns that accept every ride are ruining it for everyone else. That’s why I rarely do Uber now. It’s a rat race and fools ready to slave away for some chump change.

[@kyleinpa5285]

When I see rides that are still under $2.80 I get mad that there are drivers that are hurting all of us by accepting rotten raisins. Only cherries for me dude.

[@Flavor88]

That is not correct. The algorithm gives you shit offers in order to push people to accept shit orders. It doesn't mean that the others are getting the same offers. I have seen same ride offered first at $12 and than latter at $15. They try to offer a low baller and see who gets caught

[@andrewb3830]

I wish I seen that $12 to $15. Not in my Uber app has that ever happened.

[@Flavor88]

@@andrewb3830 I guess it depends on the city. Pretty common in my aera

[@adamseidling5615]

I've noticed this in Pittsburgh. I started cherry picking when distance costs more than the ride. Lyft sent me a wake up text telling me to drive because I wasn't up. I'm not taking a ride in downtown Pittsburgh when it costs more time to get out due to construction than the ride pays. After a couple declines they send me something worth my time. I asked a guy yesterday what he was paying...$20 and some change and they gave him a discount of 10% because he hasn't done lyft in awhile...I was being paid $17 and some change. Surge and bonus hours are simply gratuity because honestly less than 5% tip. I don't even wait the full 5 minutes when it pays less than $10. I cancel the ride and move on.

[@annc1956]

I do likewise. I drive in Louisville and drive part time. I started cherry picking a while back and the money is much better.

[@adelaharo5516]

Cheap passenger loves to make us wait the 5minutes

[@adamseidling5615]

Thats why i don't wait anymore ​@adelaharo5516

[@johnsellers7898]

Those were 6 to 7 months ago.. Nov and Dec last year. At least in Orange County is gone down since then. But I totally agree we must cherry pick and use the 3 Ps. My acceptance is about 7% these days we must all pass on 95% of the shit rides. There are very few hours of the day that are remotely worth it anymore

[@sergioSMTMC1]

I have a ton of them from last week, we'll show it next, got to know what you're doing

[@MisterCee41510]

Isolated to this driver. I've been on the platforms for almost 10 years based in the Bay Area. I legit don't see anything like this ever anymore. I got bombarded with 4,5, 6 dollar rides. I have an XL vehicle and live in an XL desert. I'm getting requests, 20 mins and 15 miles away, going equal distance and time, being offered $14.

[@EdmundGrove]

Texas cherry picking doesn't work well with Uber or Lyft.

[@brandontibbetts4214]

This advice seems highly specific to the LA market. As a Chicago driver, some of these "no brainer" trips are ones I would not accept here unless the drop off is somewhere I want to go, which is usually where the money is, or home if I'm done. If I'm already where the money is (in Chicago) I generally don't want any trips over about 2 miles. Sometimes even 2 miles is too far. And yet I don't hear any discussion about drop off locations and expected earnings in those locations vs. the pickup locations.

[@howardfletcher7206]

Guys my experience in Philly is fewer cherries if decline it gets slow for me. What seems to be the case is they very per mile widely if a trip is averaging 20-23 miles per hour the pay is usually $1/ mile. Heavy traffic averaging 10-12 miles per hour trip pays $2-$2.75 or so. I’m including time & distance to rider. So for me I’m finding $23-$25/hr under most circumstances regardless of surges or boosts.

[@bostonmatt]

I can tell you first hand this is 100% accurate advice!

[@alexanderromero9701]

6:20 if that costumer knew that they payed 80 dollars for the trip and the driver takes only barely half of the total fare,then they be pissed

[@jonathannagela2130]

what sux for the driver is if they had to wait or go out of their way and get fudved every time

[@vibesaddickentertainment9777]

I have a question and it's been puzzling me for years, Why Uber don't offer someone that's much closer the 9.52 cent to Go 3 miles ? If I was one mile away and offered 9.52 to go three miles I would gladly take it. And this also goes for the 11.51 cent trip 😢

[@jonathannagela2130]

algorithms are stupid as f for routing. I get an order for walgreens - im at walgreens. But its 5 walgreens away? I drive past 4 walgreen to get there. And there are over 100 uber drivers in that town that wouldve made sense for them to get the order> UBER SUX they are stupid as f and dont learn at all

[@MasonLopez]

Because they want to create an illusion of "fast" turnaround. Riders suffer from brainrot. If they have to wait more than 30 seconds for a rider to accept the ride, they're likely to cancel the attempt and try Lyft. From Uber's perspective, a rider opening the Lyft app loses them money. So they simplistically tweak the algo to prioritize getting the fastest possible match and won't factor in driver distance from rider. They don't pay us for that, so it's considered our problem not theirs. Of course, anyone with half a brain is at this point saying "But Uber has an acceptance rate problem because of all this, and it's causing riders to get stuck waiting for rides. They've created the problem they think they're trying to avoid." And the answer is yup. That's why we get all the pressure to keep our acceptance rate up. They don't want to change the algorithm to work for us, they want to keep it the way it is, and then pressure us to drive for a loss. They want fast turnaround, and they want to do it in a way where we eat the cost. So until they're forced to change, they'll keep the algo as is, continue to point the finger at drivers and tell anyone who'll listen that it's the cherry picker's fault riders have to wait for their rides.

[@djcgaming5632]

People, please understand that WE, the drivers have the power to change everything. But we can only make it happen if we all commit to working together and not let ourselves get stepped on by these massive corporate thief companies.

[@FireyGirl_InChrist]

On Lyft I can see the pay, but here in cheyenne Wyoming Uber only gives the miles...no distance and no price! It sucks!😡 So how does one cherry pick in a small market like mine? (Cheyenne Wyoming) both my husband and I could use some help. 😊 I'm on Uber/ Uber Eats /Lyft/Grubhub and soon to be sparks. Doordash wouldn't take me but my husband is on it along with both Ubers.

[@TM-gd5is]

The only way to cherry pick without upfront fares is to have a deep understanding of the demand in your city and cherrypick your times and location. Go earlier/later than when part-timers are on the road.

[@FireyGirl_InChrist]

@@TM-gd5is thank you!🙂

[@MasonLopez]

@@TM-gd5is Technically this advice applies to slower markets as well, even with upfront pricing. I'm in Denver, and I have a much greater impact on my per hour rate with positioning vs straight up cherry picking. There is maybe 8 hours an entire week where true cherry picking has any impact. The truth about cherry picking is that if they're paying that kind of rate, they're not doing it for fun. There's traffic, a packed event, or something else that's going to drain your time and resources to fulfill the ride. You can cherry pick your heart out and still make 21 dollars an hour if you're not also being strategic and focusing on your positioning. I won't even take certain crazy looking rides if I'm not already in position to take advantage of it. In Denver the Ball Arena is the biggest trap, offering a dollar per minute to grab someone and take them to Narnia. The first time I "Cherry picked" one of those, I was dead heading back from Aurora doing some basic math and realized my cherry made me 23 dollars an hour, and double the normal miles on my car for the trouble. Honestly, unless you're in an amazing market, TM's advice is more valuable than cherry picking imo. Cherry picking obviously has a time and a place, and I agree with the sentiment in the video that Cherry Picking helps you learn to say No. But some of these comments trying to make it seem like Cherry Picking solves all the problems is just copium.

[@danniboi82]

There are only a number of cherries to pick but too many pickers...

[@lleon-cv4ex]

Things were a lot better in Los Angeles over the holidays of 2023. When everybody had all their parties and Friendsgivings and all this, yes, the money was good.

[@ricardocabezas3728]

YOU CAN'T CHERRY PICK ON UBER AS A NEW DRIVER! you can't even SEE the ride or fare or mileage info prior to making a decision in 10 seconds- UBER SUX in Gainesville Fl. Lyft is making me 125 to 200 per day AND they show all of the up front info. AM I doing something wrong or is it just my market?

It's the same here in Texas to

[@austin83705]

How many hours do you drive? Thanks

[@LavenderSuicune]

I just started so I drive 6 to 8 hours a week

[@mdegauss]

In Austin this only works during certain times beyond that I try to go for medium distance rides at like 7-10 dollars because beyond that longer rides arent worth it if you can rip through a few during the hour if within 5 minutes of each other.

[@MichaelABrown-tg8pv]

That's what I do in Nashville also. Occasionally I will get a cherry or two without having to pick. Especially when I wind up at the airport

[@JeffBrown518]

Sergio, you kept saying "gray clouds" but I didn't understand what you were talking about. Is this something you are referring to on the Uber app?

[@ESanchez360]

It’s hard to cherry pick when I don’t get upfront pricing where I live

[@robfraser33]

Yes, learn something new every day. Some days I'm hitting about $35 an hour and today I was around $25 because i was taking 10 minute/$5 trips. That time to pick up is key. I was just looking at distance/time of trip per dollar and forgetting to factor in how long it takes to pick the person up! GEEZ. anyways, Wednesday is a new day to pick some cherries!!

[@JulioGarcia-rw4zq]

That was in 2023, when it was still worth driving and it is only one trip per day. Not worth it wasting my time cherry picking.

[@Junior.illinois]

cherry pick doesn't work anymore at Miami area there is no ride left to pick! and the reason is still have desperados taking all the trash rides

[@SiRBov]

One thing I’ve noticed in Orange County/Southern California is how Uber tries to bait us into taking shared rides. I decline every single one on principle but I’ll get shared ride requests that offer way more than any X or XL requests I’m getting at the time.

He gets big ger numbers if no cars are no Uber or no lyfts especially early in the morning you get bigger trips

[@beck-tn9gl]

In my market, Uber does not show up front pricing. So the cherry picking is a bit harder. So if a 4 minute trip is 15 minutes away, you don't take it. Also if your acceptance rate is below 85%, the miles and times isn't shown. Passive-aggressive BS

[@lamontbeverly7374]

I’m a Lyft driver but I’m pretty sure Uber was LIT as well in the early days of doing it! I could easily pull 400-500 in a day in like 10 hours! Now i get shit fucking orders wanting me to go way out the way and the decent paying orders wants me to go far out the way that takes me out my zone which is not worth it!! It got soo bad to the fact I stop doing it

[@mehdiviveable]

Every country is different, every city is different and every driver is different I totally agree about what you are advising all drivers to do however however we all have business expenses to pay personal expenses to pay and taxes to pay can’t wait all day for the right cherry to pick.

With surge as soon as I get ready to enter it disappears most of the time..

[@alanbyrne8578]

I only drive weekends now. During the weekday it all comes to a stop after 10am. So many cars on the road during rush hour so not worth it. Pay is deplorable and gets worse everyday. How are these companies making money. I got deactivated from Uber months ago for a having a duplicate account I did not even have as someone hacked Uber and duplicated my account and it’s my fault so they deactivated me? So now I am down to just Lyft. It was fun driving while true ride share started and now it just makes me mad to go out and drive and see what they offer me. Had to swallow my pride and get a job during the week.

In Atlanta. a 30 minute ride will pay you $15. No matter how you work the program, you lose. If you accept every ride, most pay $.3.00, you won't make any money. If you only accept the higher paying rides, they send you fewer rides, and you won't make any money. IT'S S A SCAM, AND SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!

If you are accepting trips without upfront details then Uber has WON! You are demonstrating to them that they can manipulate you into accepting whatever crap they want to send you. Keep declining any fares without details and I bet you will find that they will straighten up and start sending you upfront details again and do this even if your acceptance rate tanks to 10-15%. They try this with me and I hit the decline so fast my fingers are burning, and my acceptance rate is 18%. Also have Lyft open and work that too.

Why don't Uber explain this?

[@ustophl]

I am a new driver, just 3rd day, and noticed that my "acceptance rate" is 19%. My questions are: 1) Does this really matter, 2) i am presented with trip requests while I am in the middle of another ride and so just ignore those requests. I presume this is leading to a lower acceptance rate. How can I turn that off? As for the others that I purposely deny, I am not taking ANY ride that doesn't pay at least $1 per combined mile (distance to pick up and distance to drop off), isn't that reasonable?

[@smartin684]

Acceptance rate doesnt really matter, they use that to scare you into "oh I better take whatever comes my way or they will put me in time out" I congratulate you on your 19% acceptance rate because that means that you filtering out the crap rides. On the app you can swipe up and go "offline" by hitting the red button. I do this on all my rides because there is nothing more dangerous than driving in heavy traffic and the trip radar just keeps pinging while driving. There is a good Uberpeople forum where you can get some good advice for being a new driver and you will gain some insight as to what other drivers are going through.

[@ustophl]

@@smartin684 Thank you so much. I wasn't aware that I could go offline while driving with a customer, I will definitely do that. The forum that you were referring to, were you referring to this KZbin channel (I have found it very helpful).

I guess I need to learn a strategy because I followed cherry picking method and it got my score so low they will not raise me back up and I called and they use my score as the excuse for sorry rides like 4.64 even during rush hr and they hide surge time on screen if I cherry pick now I MAY see $14. - 15. for still longer time but all the rest after that will be sorry like 7.67 including surge during rush hr time then because I'm not excepting it's taking my score down even more and it's been impossible to raise because they take away quickly but it takes two days of excepting every ride to raise it even 1 Point I haven't cancelled a ride in two weeks and they've only moved it 4 points down and when I do ok like 100 in 3.5 hrs because it was busy and they couldn't play games they slow me way down to keep me from earning another 100. I use to make 300. or a bit more doing 12 & a little over the 12 hrs now I can barely get 200 and then I've gotta eat and put gas in the rental freaking car that I have to pay 330 every seven days for its killing me so I definitely need some pointers

If you watch these guys and are gig self employed, as I am.. be careful. These guys are the biggest doom and gloomer complainers I've ever seen. I can make $150 bucks or more in the time it takes these guys to post these worthless videos. Granted, I have two vehicles and one is a premium XL, but damn guys. I figure yall should go find a job somewhere.

[@sergioSMTMC1]

Yet, you're still here bragging about your 150 bucks gross? Thanks for watching

[@CanyonLakeRebel]

You guys need to go get a job. You're self employed and bitching about your self employment. Duh!! Dont do it. Quit. ​@sergioSMTMC1

150? I think you are underestimating how much social media can make.

@@smartin684 I agree, Its a dork channel. I dunno how so many people are so pathetic that we allow ourselves to be screwed over. I drive eats and use my dog driving with me as my excuse to be abused.

This was in November its gotten worse since then.

Nope I ha e a ton of them from last week as well, got to know what you're doing

2023, agreed

[@Havoc3745]

@@sergioSMTMC1 Great, look forward to seeing those. I work the LA market so I know it pretty well. I know the market and you can cherrypick but the hour windows are very small. You use to be able to cherry pick at all times. I know you know the market very well but you also know the good rides for the most part you can't even grab because they scooped up like TJ tote bags.

[@yourmove267]

How are you doing in the LA market and what are the times to cherry pick?

[@joegug4751]

There’s no cherry picking left it’s all bad.

These are not realistic or common enough to wait for

[@Grantbearkc]

I love your videos. However, in my market, we don’t have upfront pricing and the problem is to reach gold level. You have to have an 85% or greater acceptance rate. So you have to basically accept every ride they send you. With a few exceptions. I get rides that are 20 minutes away and the ride is, eventually only five minutes or less. It’s a tough way to work, but getting a gold or diamond is the only logical way to keep driving.

[@54yearOldNinja]

My goal is $30/hour or more.. I don't pay attention to mileage.. I look at the time to the rider and the time to drop off. Add together and divide by 2. If the pay is the same or more I except.. Sometimes I'll except if it is slightly below.. My acceptance rate is %94. And I am meeting my goal or exceeding it for the last 3 weeks. Only been doing Uber for 2 months. I work early mornings between 6am - 10am then between 3pm - 7pm. So I'm not being picky. I pretty much take everything unless it is significantly below my goal. I guess I'm fortunate that everything that comes my way is generally meeting my requirements.. I do believe that the algorithm learns what you will accept and will test you from time to time to see if your standards have lowered. But it seems as though it has learned what I will accept and only offers me those conditions..

[@DelaneyStudios]

Uber sends lower paying rides to older vehicles. every time I enter a high paying area, I will eventually get a second ride, maybe a third, but always, the next ride removes me from the area. Whenever I drive in a 3-5 dollar area (to raise my qty) they always send me a ride out of the area. Also, I notice I habitually receive very long distance rides. I have spoken with them about this but they wouldn't acknowledge it. Originally we had a long distance button, but they only provide uber-x 1 button now. I constantly receive compliment on my vehicle, I keep is clean and polished. It is not banged up either.

[@debbecker6732]

It is hard to cherry pick in my market as I do not get the price per ride just the number of miles it is. It is frustrating to not be able to see the price per ride that would definitely help. So, I end up just taking every ride and just go with it. I am in the Milwaukee, WI area and I am currently an Uber Gold Pro Driver 4.99

[@nofsgiven3855]

That’s cool but how long was he sitting there cherry picking? Was it 10mins or was it hours?

[@edgarmartinez496]

I'm from Philadelphia you cannot cherry picking Philadelphia you will get punished And they punish you longer when I say longer you can put in 70 to 80 hours a week and only make $200 That's how bad cherry picking is in Philadelphia You get deactivated and you get punished If somebody can help me out with this issue and Philadelphia I'll be happy to listen to you In the 78 hours is between both apps

[@Nitreux]

This dude is working the middle of the night in LA. Yeah, no thanks I like being alive.

[@saracash7959]

I don’t take a ride over gives mile from cause the cancel a lot. Also I don’t accept anything under $10 bucks . Plus if the ride is $20 plus Uber take at least half smh

[@juliet.3287]

I’m a very new Lyft driver of 5 weeks. I understand your focus here is on Uber…How do you determine if there’s a “surge” on a Lyft trip?

[@danieltriplett3685]

It was bad then. 2024 there are no cherries. No surge, no challenges that are worth it, no other incentives as a full time driver. You get lucky on 3 trips a day if you are lucky. My Uber acceptance rate is 10% Lyft a little higher because I cheese the little surge rides left from them

[@jerylseward5517]

Uber is not stealing your tips they are stealing your already EARN money .

[@nicdominus7782]

I found Uber is better than Lyft when it comes to accurate estimation of time on trips. in my town left always assumes there's no traffic when it calculates drive time. there's construction on the only interstate through town and they shut down both lanes of the interstate backing up traffic for miles. it took half an hour to drive a mile and Lyft is like oh, this is an 8-minute trip.

[@adelaharo5516]

We need and other app that pay us fear. I make in Fresno less that 5 years ago . I have to drive to Bay Area San Francisco to make fear pay

[@hobgoblinman3]

Their are NO MORE CHERRYS TO PICK !

[@nikiabutler1791]

And they never give me the proper surge amount never over 4 and that's rare no matter what the screen says and I'm sitting rite in it

[@abuyeabbas5689]

The worest they have $20 45 min

[@estioestio5851]

These are all from last year 👎🏽

[@charross5576]

Here in Jacksonville FL...they send small $ trips mostly. They're giving big huge discounts to folks that have been using Uber for years.

[@grizzlyadams7367]

One thing I am seeing in Indianapolis is most rides are put on the radar and the only that pings are Share rides.

[@MrBoyad]

Why are you featuring rides from November and December 2023. It's June 2024. Those rides are bad examples. If you want to feature rides feature the last 60 days.
