Ok look. Im desperately trying to earn more money to put food on the table. Who isnt. I did my first ride last night. This app is a hot mess. Half the tabs you pointed to I can’t even find, and it is not safe to be fiddling with a Nav system, and contacting customers. I dont have time to fiddle around for 20 minutes with the app while a customer is waiting. Last night, I picked up my passenger, and the route it told me to go wasn’t even in the vicinity where the passenger needed to go. There is no “call support” button. Only a method for texting support. Enough with the texting back and forth for days when I can talk to a human and get this solved in 10 minutes on the phone. I need serious help here. If the passengers destinations are wrong on the app, Im not going to be able to do this. You say “use whatever nav system you want”. How? The destination is in the app and it has its own nav! How can I use my own nav, and safely switch back and forth to the app? This app needs to be streamlined and simplified by 1000%.

[@ChrisS-no3ft]

@@wilsonscienceThe most confusing app Ive ever seen, and I need the money bad. I didnt get paid for my first ride because I couldn’t figure the app out. The nav took me all over the place when the destination was right up the road. Embarrassing. And what the heck is UberX??? No one has explained what the “X” means. Ugh.

[@joellee6142]

[@russellrlf]

I needed to watch this after today. I accepted a long trip during another trip. I didnt realize that it was over an hour long and 56 miles away. That was not what I wanted. Thanks for info on how to use the app. This should be required when you start

Wow!!! Someone who actually knows how to do a precise and accurate video. Thank you!

[@ChrisS-no3ft]

A lot of effort was put into this video, so bravo for that. But it didnt help me at all. The app is a confusing mess with a hundred screens, swipes, buttons, the nav doesn’t work (that was really embarrassing) I’m frustrated and depressed. I need the money to help pay bills. The nav’s destination was totally wrong about the destination. 😞😞😞

[@tmpst787]

@@ChrisS-no3ftdo you have your phone mounted in an easy to access location? Messing with your phone while holding it and driving plus being nervous etc isn’t ideal.

[@zjbell700]

Great tutorial Joe! I would add that drivers should get into the habit of stopping new requests after each accepted trip. This will prompt the algorithm to recognize you as an unavailable driver and adjust the pricing algorithm accordingly. This swings the supply and demand data towards less supply and will trigger surge if and when the demand data dictates to do so. When you get close to your drop off simply turn requests back on.

[@Therideshareguy]

Great tip!

[@ArmandoCruz-kj9fz]

I have not turned off that and have picked up late night passengers that have added drive through restaurant stops, without asking, very annoying.

[@michaelwestmoreland2530]

Okay, so I just Ubered day 1, today. Started doing it the way you said, but then forgot about it and picked a second ride up early into an existing one. I get what all you said, but isn't it better for the driver to accept as many as they can complete effectively at once? I mean back-to-back-to-back-to-back, that's where the money really comes from right?

[@MetallicaASU]

True, but Sounds like your new passengers are going to be waiting for you to drop your existing passenger off. Not good customer service if that's the case ​@michaelwestmoreland2530

[@allisonclark223]

U have been more helper than Uber help center...Thank you sooo much❤

[@jcmiii]

Just started with Uber two weeks ago. I've been looking for a good tutorial fro the most recent software and you nailed. Thank you!!!

[@brozcoversbohol]

Just a quick tip for all the new drivers on the platform, especially UberEats. Please make sure that when you deliver an order and then the person who picks the order doesn't show up or doesn't seem to be the actual person who ordered the food, contact support immediately so that the agent will be the one who cancels the order. Never try cancelling it yourself while you have the food already or you're not able to give it to the actual person because it will be taken against you and you may lose your access to your account. It will be reported and if ever you're lucky to get your access back to your account, I can guarantee you that it may take up a few days or weeks or even a month to get your access back. I'm not a driver but I worked with Uber as a support before and even our supervisors can't override the system until the review and the appeal is done.

[@MemoriesOfLife-ve1oi]

I did my first trip today following this video thank you 😊

[@emopopo]

Did your uber show the upfront cost and destination?

[@ZeHarrisFamily]

This video is extremely helpful, thank you! I have one big question though that I can't get a clear answer on. You show here on this video, that when a new ride has come available, it shows the pickup of rider AND their destination...Not once have i had that screen come up for me. ( On Uber eats, yes, but otherwise no) So basically, I'm blindly accepting each ride without having the option to see direction and full estimated time of trips...I REALLY would appreciate your advice on this😁Thank's again for the help

[@joetan4125]

I think it depends on location. I am in Seattle and it doesn’t show either.

[@sunshinenbacon9448]

I play dumb I hate multiple stops

[@detrimundo]

I've been Ubering for about six weeks... and I've come to learn that that passengers with added stops are a big loss in money and time...

[@storkdeliverysstorkdeliver2846]

Don't hit the X and decline it. Just let it expire on it's own ! Otherwise it goes against you. Your acceptance rate is counted and your decline rate is counted against you too. But if it just expires, I'm not exactly sure but I think it doesn't count against you. It's just a missed offer.

[@iwontbebeat7111]

It does.

[@broncobob36]

All missed orders are noted as a decline on Uber Eats. Grubhub will breakdown your declines as rejected, missed, removed with penalty, etc.

[@laurenallen5575]

Yeah whether or not you let the request go away it’ll count against you. AR is based on the number of requests that are sent to you. Doesn’t matter if you manually decline or let it go away

[@JustinDAMusic]

As was shown in the video there is an acceptance rate and a cancellation rate. If you just let the trip offer expire it counts against your acceptance rate.

[@gstoner8432]

What if you see there are others viewing it and you wait 9 seconds (I think we get 10) to see if it goes away by someone else taking it first. If it gets to 10 seconds (if that is your time limit), then it counts against you maybe? If another driver picks it first, it does not. I bring this up as after looking at it for say 6 seconds and I select to pick it, it sometimes comes back as another driver picked it up first. Just a thought?

[@jomargonzalez1557]

I am looking for the same answer sir. Hope someone can respond to this

[@nickwhitestone4237]

@Therideshareguy I just started driving with Uber yesterday, I'm a little confused. On every ride request I didn't receive upfront descriptions like you are showing in this video, like how much the fare will be and what the destination will be. All I saw is where the pick up is.

[@tharindunirmal7339]

I think they removed that information to make sure drivers can't choose.

[@augustiner8425]

so if a customer wants to change his or her drop off location, who is authorized to make the changes? the driver or the customer? if it's the customer that has the authority to make the changes while riding, does the customer make the changes on his or her cell phn or on the driver's cell phn?

[@SuperGreatcritic]

Ppl is tipping less and less nowadays, they’re so entitled and see us like we’re getting 100% of what they paid, I did accepted a ride yesterday 7 minutes away, yeah but I got stuck on traffic and become 18 minutes just to pick up, It shows pick up point but not where rider was heading, turns out that they add a stop while I was close to them and I had to drive even far more from my regular job, heading back took me 20 minutes and at the end all that for just 3.5 dlls no tip, I really hope my app shows both distances soon

[@TFDN139]

One of the questions I have seen in response to this post, and I thought of adding my 2cents. I believe that after X number of rides, drivers are allowed to see the drop off location. Don’t know if I am correct…

How about when waiting for passengers that do not show up on time. What do you do??

[@SalarymanIO]

After you arrive passenger has 2 minutes to get in, timer automatically starts when you arrive at the place. After those 2 minutes end a new timer of 3 minutes will start. If you wait those 3 minutes also and the passenger is still not there you can cancel the ride and will get a cancellation fee

Hopefully somebody reads this. Ive just started with Uber Eats, and i am super stressed with understanding how this works. I understand how to accept and turn on navigation to get me to restauant. But the part that i dont understand is its taking me about an extra five minutes to find where ive picked up from restaurant, and then, navigating to customer and then dropping off. Its super hard to understand this app. I think the door.dash app is much easier, and if i dont understand it by the end of the week, then ill just quit lol.

The app is going crazy right now! It updated a few days ago and things disappeared. No coffee icon, no navigation tool, no cancel order - just get call or chat with support. Picked up a stacked order as soon as I hit start delivery it showed I was at the drop off location. I ended up using Google maps and typed the address in manually, got all they way there then they cancelled. The app is saying take a right and it's really a left. It says drop off on the right and it's really the left. I don't know what happened but is this happening to anyone else? Tech support is no help!
