[@atlantis7896]

if all drivers get together, uber will be forced to raise prices and to do what ever the driver ask for. a union will change everything. without us, this company will never exist.

[@f2v2productions22]

Atef B so you think paying yet another company more of minuscule earnings is the answer? do some research dude, unions aren't the answer. they waste more money than uber on an archaic system of ever higher worker exploitation with zero guarantee of any forward movement.

[@atlantis7896]

Failfurby may be a union not the best solution, but drivers need to get together

[@850tallycabbie]

Atef B we are not employees.

[@yr5785]

Atef B I agree with you drivers have the power no drivers no uber no via no Gett no Lyft try to stop working for 1 day any way is hard to make money with them any way

[@atlantis7896]

Jorge Gonzalez i have never said we are

[@rantsinpatwa]

a lot of ppl including Travis don't like to take responsibility. lying and lyingg and lying to drivers everyday.

[@tuubydude]

Travis-ty of a CEO.

[@DK-mj2vg]

That's a good one!

[@Genjoi236]

Travis should be thanking that driver for taking that big of a risk for his company.

[@Stridermd]

You are 100 percent right on this Uberman. Blame is there on both sides of this situation.

[@marioleal8152]

I drove a cab for 24 years, I have calculated that the company I drove for during that time had to go through more than 30,000 drivers just to find one driver like me to drive for them for 24 years. It's just a matter of time these Rideshare companies are going to disappear because not only are they burning through money trying to gain a greater market share but they're also burning through a lot of drivers to service their customers. Funny thing is most of the people that I have known to drive for Uber lasted Less Than 3 months. Before I retire from the cab business about a year ago I ran across a cab driver colleague at the cab company and she told me she had been driving for Uber for 2 years and that in the beginning she was doing really good but now Uber is screwing her out of a livelihood that's why she's back driving a cab. I have also met some cab drivers that also drive for Uber but only during surge pricing if that still exist. As for me I'm out of the vehicle for hire business it has gotten too crowded and I got tired of making $2 an hour

[@insanegnyc]

One day all drivers will unite and boycott uber. Customers don't make the company, the drivers do! What good is uber without any drivers? They say uber is to big to fail, but they also said the same to MySpace.

[@merc7paul]

Cihan Ugur that would just accelerate self driving technology lol

[@insanegnyc]

What self driving cars????? Just replacing human mistakes for computer error. Uber making money will accelerate self driving cars.

[@kurtemrick1086]

... except myspace wasn't a business... let alone a service that people actually need.

[@Hddizzle4shizzle]

Kurt Emrick tell that to that guy that hit jonah hill with his car on superbad..

[@otbway]

Let me ask you one question Cihan, And I want you to be really Honest with me... At this point, lots of people cannot protest as they require this money to survive...A problem bcz as time goes on the fares will get cheaper (Pool) til Self-driving cars replace them... The only real way to protest is for Drivers to Unite and create their own platform... My question to you is: Would you do a go fund me account and generate let's say 300K from drivers to start your own platform? Let's say you don't want this responsibility, would you fund someone else who does want to do it 200$ in this Go fund account?

[@roger8654]

Uber offers low rates because the company intends to get rid of its drivers by implementing self driving vehicles. They don't care about the drivers period. I looked at my earnings summary for 2017 and I grossed 41k and Uber took 19k leaving with a net of 22k. After expenses my accountant said I broke out even. The government actually gave me back money because I lost money.

[@omr7991]

I bought a car for 6k for personal use. I use it personally and also Uber. I grossed same as you. My everyday expenses is from Uber after all car expenses as well. Fovernment took 700 from me and State paid me 200 back. Overall I made something. Using a new car is stupid. You lose all of it.

[@ronnieinabnit5407]

Very true. I went and bought a car for Uberx. That was big enough gamble for me. That and I couldn't imagine asking for a 70k loan with my credit score. Lol!!!

[@rroge5]

YEAH! and now with the credit score uber drivers must have it wouldnt be possible to get a similar loan... if the financial institutions knew how things were going to turn out would they still give drivers the finance

[@yodambomb4974]

Yup ! My credit was at least 700 before I got involved with them again 😡

[@TheYsabel123]

Recently purchased a new car. The agency I work for has cut my hours. I signed up with Uber. I want to work part time with Uber and part time as an LVN doing shift work. Lets see what happens. . Uber will not be my sole source of income. As for this video, thank you, eye opening. Butthere is an old saying, don't put all of your eggs in one basket.

[@pauljohnlongua4093]

If you want to own and operate a limo business then own and operate a limo business. Don't ride on the coattails of somebody else and expect the outcome to go in your favor.

[@atlantis7896]

we should do " a day without uber drivers" and c what will happen

[@luketheruler1559]

LOL they wouldn't know what to do lol

[@electricfeel9501]

yea that would cause a lot more surging therefore tempting drivers to work

[@evacaldwell1059]

Black Friday perfect day to do it.

[@codeforge190]

ATLANTIS B um... people would use lyft? Uber doesn't offer anything at all that's unique. Its not even like a Big Mac vs Whopper, its Big Mac vs Big Mac... people would use a different rideshare and not skip a beat... IMO anyways...

[@jonmacgyver743]

How old is every one on here? People would do what we did just a few years ago. Get a cab, Take the bus, Call a friend. 😂😂 yall need to stop eating tide pods

[@jarvismatute6702]

I drove Uber & Lyft since May 2014. I QUIT Uber October 2016. Lyft may not be the best, but they seem to care about the driver more. Gives us a chance to earn the commission back. That's worth something in my book!

[@carlgoogle2869]

The crazy thing about Uber rides is that it's all smoke & mirrors. Now that Travis has killed the conventional taxi industry with low,rates & better service,he is going to ruin all the drivers with shit rates,Uber Pool,and a lower class of passengers. Essentially, Uber has replaced taxi cabs & Travis doesn't give a shit, because he wants to cut us out of the equation with autonomous cars. Also,Uber is pissing money in advertising, corporate salaries,office overhead (Greenlight Hubs),and Uber Pool trips. Uber lost billions last quarter (2016). The venture capitalists investors,are dumping funds into Uber in the hopes of an eventual return (profit),once the cars go driverless. Essentially these Uber rides that everyone loves,are subsidized!!!! Just like subsidized housing,is funded by the taxpayers. It's a genius scam by Travis,while he pocketed the first $7 billion for himself. Now all the competition is rolling out & Travis is self-destructing with all his negative media coverage. The golden days of ride sharing are long gone.

[@matrixpets]

This really made me mad! The email he sent out to internal people only and not his drivers was also worst. He clearly doesn't not give a fuck about his "contract drivers".

[@allanssozi8910]

A day or a week without Uber world wide, I am for it guys let's do it, demanding more pay! Please Uberman be our voice

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Drivers won't unite to make it happen. I wish they would.

[@PolyPride29]

Setup a no driving Uber days ..support that..

[@Thehandsomeliberal]

I think this is 100% Ubers fault. This has absolutely nothing to do with a new start up company or new market. Uber is a company that began deliberately lying to people on Day one. They have been misleading drivers about earnings constantly. They stated that lower fares would earn drivers more. They set weekend pay scales, knowing drivers cant reach them. Even now they're lying about Uber Pool earnings. He claims they had to lower rates due to competition. In many mid size and smaller markets, Uber was the only ride share option in town. Lyft just came to Iowa a month ago. Uber has been the only option since 2013. They still lowered the rates significantly with zero competition. Uber is a super successful company. The reason people are hurting is because of all the dishonesty.

[@georgyorgy2]

Travis will start taking Lyft from now on

[@tomywidacol]

Travis is facing sexual assault charges. Shows what sort of man leads this business

[@crazyhorsemusx7767]

My Gmail so before he has a fair trial lets assume he is guilty?

[@Ben-ht2cv]

"Charges" mean literally nothing, i can enduce charges on anyone on the planet pre-trial

[@xxSweetStrangerxx]

Uber screwed everyone. The distance that you used to pay 130$ for regular taxi, uber drivers only get 35$. It get more interesting when you'll hear this second part. The maintenance of taxi is not done by the driver but the maintenance of uber is done by driver and on the top of that the driver has to offer bottled water, gums/mints, phone charger, etc etc to the passenger. I say, fuck uber.

[@xxSweetStrangerxx]

mr gooseman Medellin is owned by people who have big bucks. A Medellin plate costs like a million $. The owner of that Medellin charge taxi drivers a fix fee for 8 hour shift in 24 hour 3 drivers use that same Medellin and owner makes like 1400 to 1600$ a day, owner also take care of any repairs or fixtures on that Medellin. For the driver he pays a fix amount and still end up taking home 300 to 800$ a day and he doesn't have to do repairs and fixtures to the car. The taxi drivers coming to your shop complain because uber have destroyed their business plus uber has forced it's drivers to work literally for $5/hr (after taking out all expenses, repairs, devaluation of car). So basically few people in higher positions in Uber's Silicon Valley office benefits from all this. Thats how corporates work. Rich get richer, poor gets poorer. I have done my research which is why I posted that comment.

[@2134steven]

[@zachphillips592]

I know several Black drivers who are leaving the country because of this. I've noticed uber doesnt stick to a certain percentage with my rides. I bought a brand new car 4 days ago and I'm glad I took it back. Putting all those miles on a 2k18 screws your credit with all those miles which puts you under water. I put 12800 miles on a rental in 8 weeks of ubering. Insane.

[@raulgutierrez5862]

I got a pickup request 10 miles away with a 'Pickup Premium Possible' alert. I accepted just to see the payout fare (I was curious!). Picked up my passengers, took them 1 mile to a bar. 11 miles total and I actually left a hot zone for this ride. Rider was charged $7.48, I made $3.34 while Uber made $4.14 on that ride. How is this fair? How are these guys still in business? Misleading app tactics and dangerous passengers makes this a total loser situation for the driver. If time is not of value to you, keep driving for Uber, otherwise wash cars or wash dishes and you will actually make out better than this scam.

[@alanhelton]

This owner is crazy. 18 dollars you charge the rider, I took home 8. This is why the driver is so mad. We should be making more on each fair, plain and simple.

[@20alphabet]

Bait and switch is illegal, what the driver did to accommodate the UBER BLACK requirements was not. That's just Business Law 101. When a party is damaged by bait and switch, the culpability is on the perpetrator, not the damaged party. It's not a matter of both being at fault. This CEO is a jerk, he runs the business like a jerk, and this is the type of guy who couldn't keep a business of his own afloat, but is appointed by others who have no business experience outside of working for others for wages. This example is irrefutable evidence of my claim, that UBER is run by chimpanzees.

[@nicolas12730]

That's why when I had the chance I run away from uber and went back to my job ( before I couldn't because I was injured )... Not lying, but since I went back to my job, I started to see a change in my life: have some savings, drive only the necessary to and from my job ( 40 miles round trip )..my car is not dirty, not my seats or my floor mats...don't deal with stupid riders...don't go through all the daily stress from the daily traffic here in LA.. I am building a pension towards retirement...every pennie I spend on tools, work clothes, miles on my car, Union dues, phone bill, etc, I can actually put them as expenses and be able to get a nice tax refund check next year ( approx $8000)...not like with uber that drivers need to pay back to the IRS..I got complete dental and medical benefits...etc..etc.. Big difference now that I am working in my normal job.. With uber, is always a loose loose situation..

[@ezwaitloss]

[@ZackBite]

bigmo92 Bro sorry to hear that , I'm seeing a similar situation here in my market. Black was making good money at the airport and black car driver's were very happy. Now , with uberx operating at the airport , no body is taking Uberblack. Uberblack is only busy when there is Zero uberx at the airport and some Uberblack driver's are starting to pickup uberx on the streets.

bigmo92 you see, that CEO is very materialistic and very shallow and he definitely likes to show off but that does not reflect the majority of the customers most people are not willing to pay the cost of Uber black or even an uber select if they have money like that they would buy their own car like that for example, if somebody can blow $100 to have you were blocked take them to the mall up the road in a Mercedes then somebody can afford to buy a Mercedes

Is Travis like the Noob Saibot of Uber passengers?

Very well put, explaining both sides rationally. I too, feel sorry for the driver, but nothing is guaranteed, EVER.

The worst part is that Travis grew during the Great Recession, so I understand the leap of faith people took because it was a really hopeless time.

[@nashvilledriversgroup512]

I don't think I have anything to add looking at all these comments other than: Dang, this video is sharp! Amazing quality Randy! 👍 PS- Yep, Travis is wrong for behaving like a child. Driver is wrong for investing like a child (and keep driving after loosing it all!). When I loose at the casino I step up from the chair and walk out the door.

[@jaredwhite489]

Its not about the drivers. Never has been. It’s about kissing the passengers asses.

[@theflashlightcop5407]

I Think the only thing Travis did wrong was raise his voice. I get us as drivers never get the opportunity to speak face-to-face with Travis however he was clearly intoxicated and business should have never been brought up at that time.

[@MovieTrailerTeam]

“We are reducing black cars in the system next 6 months” means we are choosing best slaves to work with is and put others to bankrupt because of their new finances....

[@ZackBite]

Great perspective , I drive 09 Mercedes Benz GL for XL . And I have been thinking about getting a new hybrid XL ; however the question I asked myself is what if ? What if Uber drops rates again , or what if Uber goes out of Business ? it is very disappointing and depressing for many of my fellow driver's who made such a bold and big business decisions and found themselves in debt for obvious reasons. With that being said , I don't think a CEO of any company would talk to his employee this way ; especially in public . He is comfortably sandwiched by two beautiful ladies whiles yelling at a poor driver for voicing out a concern shared by many thousands of Uber driver's in America including myself. Well , I would let somebody else to be the judge.

[@s.l.4772]

Too much talk with the passenger. And never bring personal problems to your work.

[@YourPersonalDriver]

It's like Uber thinks it is still a new tech company scrapping for pennies. They have 11 Billion in cash sitting in a "war chest". This CEO has no idea how to handle a company this size.

[@rashadmoore8935]

I think the driver had fleet of black cars...that's probably why he had that kind of loss

[@carlgoogle2869]

But seriously, Randy. Here's an update on Boston & Massachusetts.As I've told you before, Rhode Island cut rates by 33% in Rhode Island(around 18 months ago). Then Providence became oversaturated with drivers. Rates were the same in both R.I. & Ma. ($1.20 mile/$.20 min /$5.00 min fare/$5.00 cancel fee). Last Summer Massachusetts split the rates in to three sectors (West/Central/Cape Cod) with the West being lowest & Cape being highest (Cape Cod is seasonal tourist/drunk trap for mostly rich Bostonians/foreigners). Then came Uber Pool (only in Boston),then entire Northeastern section of Ma. ,and now even in the poorer and rural areas of Ma. (I live in these parts(50 miles South of Boston, 15 miles East of Providence,and 10 miles North of Newport,R.I. (Summer tourists),and 60 miles West of Cape Cod. Even though Pool is here now, it's unlikely & rare to receive multiple fares within one trip. Uber has been in Boston around 4 years & Providence,R.I. around 4 ,but has just flourished and become mainstream in South Eastern Ma. within the past year. Also the entire state has become oversaturated with drivers. May makes three years for me & I'm done. The clientele is becoming ghetto,and my pay has taken a dive. I made about $70,000 the first year but would be lucky to make half that now. My 2014 Hyundai Accent (wich I bought 5 months before discovering Uber),now has 115,000 miles & started burning oil at 110,000. The rings are shot from driving heavy (especially in Boston/Providence where they drive like most metro areas). I still owe 34 months on my loan.(lol). I'm going back into commercial trucking & I think I have my first job offer. I'll do Uber maybe one or two days a week for awhile,just until I'm sure the truck gig works out & then it's a wrap for rideshare. I'm going to miss the freedom of scheduling & the social interactions,but will not miss the traffic,the drunks,the abuse on my car,or Lord Travis. (You are exactly right. Travis is a rich A-hole ,but the beauty of America is we can chose our careers and our destiny,at will.) I honestly didn't expect to last this long (3 years). Peace out,Randy.

[@jenkins0409]

[@corneliusdugan4733]

ONLY WHEN DRIVERS ORGANIZE WILL WE BE ABLE TO GET JUSTICE. WAKE UP DRIVERS!

[@RodEccles]

First let me say I am not taking the side of Travis or the driver. BUT, this is a business. and as Uber drivers or drivers of ANY rideshare company, you are basically a franchise. You sign up for whatever the parent company does. Yes dropping fairs and cutting into driver pay is not a good business model but frankly you can get off the platform or supplement the platform with others or even your own. Unlike most franchises, you are not forced to be exclusive to Uber. So don't be. If you get a business loan, that is all on you. Mark Cuban says small business owners are foolish to get large loans to start or grow their business. So don't do it.

[@brucejohnson5867]

WHY DOES THIS GUY ALWAYS TALKS LIKE HE KNOWS THESE PEOPLE ON A PERSONAL LEVEL. CALLING HIM TRAVIS LIKE THEY HANG OUT.

[@topofthegreen]

I refuse to drive for UBER knowing how the drivers get screwed, and knowing what an A hole Travis is, I drive for Lyft only now.

[@TheCastedone]

DRIVER made a huge mistake taking that big of a risk on a new company. Comes with the territory in buisness. Uber was design to attract customers and drivers quickly via "work for yourself" media and cheap fares. All while not owning a single vehicle putting the burden on the drivers. the drivers are UBER but with no ability to connect and complain to uber things will likely work out in their favor. they want to fund other buisnesses so the drivers will be assed out on this for a while.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Bingo!

[@truthinvideos]

The really big mistake that caused this man's financial ruin was believing in a jerk's sales pitch and going all in. I saw this coming several years ago. My advice to anyone wanting to do business with Uber is don't quit your day job. Don't lock yourself in the Uber prison by getting a big loan for your Uber vehicle. Use your existing vehicle or don't do Uber. Never give away your option to walk away from Uber.

[@fenderguitars6050]

I AM NOT A BIG GOVERNMENT GUY but maybe the state of California "has to" inform Uber that there is a flat minimum of 2 dollars per mile ,..or UBER IS OUT OF BUSINESS NOW !!

[@LuchadorEMC]

A lot of people didn't hear the conversation he was having at the beginning with those 2 girls. One of them told Travis that she heard that Uber had a rough year. Travis replied, "I try to make sure that everyone has it hard every year..." Basically he is making humor about how bad drivers have it. At this point Uber is a joke. If Lyft is available in your market, sign up and drive for them instead. Lyft is by far much better. I am driving less and earning more PLUS tips.

[@ChrisCas22]

[@thefriendlyguy1421]

Uber New Rule: No more dashcams. Meanwhile this Uber driver probably got deactivated.

[@micaKTM1290]

I don't have a problem with what Travis did. If somebody starts giving you shit, you have the right to give them shit back. The driver escalated and Travis followed. On another it is not too smart to go all in on Uber or other ride sharing. Uber loses Billions of dollars every year!!! google it,. If they don't figure out how to make money soon their investors will dry up.

[@AllanPowell]

I'm 100% with travis on this one. The Driver simply doesn't understand business nor make good choices.

[@istyleonu]

Very mature point of view.

[@ronaldprasad5550]

Who else thought there was rats in the top right corner ?

[@danielsjourney8475]

I agree with you wholeheartedly but I do not feel Travis had any form of remorse for the little guy. Just like pyramid schemes are illegal because the bottom guys get screwed. He literally was the top guy taking advantage of the bottom guy with no remorse, by doing what he did. He had no right to bad mouth any one at the bottom while hes making the money hes making off the tons of guys that invested anywhere from a few thousand dollars, to the 90 thousand this guy invested.

[@thisismagacountry1318]

Daniel Damn You're responsible for your OWN actions. Nobody forced this guy to drop 90K on a car and mismanage his finances. He should have worked 2 jobs like most people instead of relying on one source of income. That's on him, NOT Uber.

[@jims5338]

That driver pretty much had the opportunity so many of us would like to have, and what Randy has been saying about Uber for some time now. Part of the problem is Uber is one of the worst examples of corporate America's "growth at all cost" mantra that can be self defeating. Imagine if Uber hadn't slashed their rates and had brought on new drivers at the same pace as growth of demand? They'd probably be making 3 billion a year rather that losing 3 billion a quarter. They'd have a big pool of veteran, experienced drivers who believe in the company and enjoy driving for it. They'd have an equally loyal customer base and a higher quality of customer as well which also bring less problems and advertise the company for them through word of mouth. We all knew it, and Randy earlier than most as he's been at this a while, but this was Travis showing his true colors. Not only does he not give a crap for the drivers who built his company, I don't think he has the emotional maturity and business vision to lead it successfully anymore. I've joked for some time now that the plan is to "replace us with robots". Which it clearly is or they'd be acting differently. But I don't think they're going to make it. I think full driverless cars are a bit further off than some think and Uber hopes (and I'm a Tesla Model 3 reservation holder so I hope for it!) Needless to say I won't be investing any money in Uber, and increasingly less time as the rates don't pencil. It's too bad as it's still a great idea, a lot of fun to do, and should have been so much more than what it is devolving into.

[@sulubu04able]

Two smart comments: Tagem Bagem 2 months ago tuan nguyen 100% correct! If your counting on Uber to be your main income and to sustain your family your a fucking loser like Randy here Tagem Bagem 2 months ago Remy Martin yeah but Uber is not a real job. Welcome to capitalism, the fittest will survive, and the weak will perish. Always the blame game "You! Yes you, made me bankrupt!" No! Go to school learn a real job cuz driving ain't, it may be a supplemental income but after 2010 it's not anymore. Plain and simple. And actually Kevin is not even half responsible, ZERO responsible, nobody's holding a gun to anyone's head, AND in the terms of service it clearly states "RATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANYTIME WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE!" Case closed, nobody should put all their eggs into one basket, nobody! Reality hurts, doesn't it?! Then go do something about it, start your own car sharing, open a bakery, anything. If was able to do it, anyone else can too. I just hope this motivates those who are willing to work hard and get ahead in life.

[@AMERICASCOURT]

I agree with u 100%. It's his fault for investing allot of $ into a new business. But also he was told at the time look at all the money u can make and at that time black cars were making over 100k a year in sf easy. But then Uber changed rates and things went down hill. Uber x came out and most black users switched to Uber x

Driver should take responsibility by getting his own clients not only depending on Uber. It's funny since we got the new CEO in uber not much has changed for the drivers his employees love him from what i've heard.

[@tracyh6833]

It's almost like Uber should be sued for false promises. Oh wait, they were! So Uber is at fault.

[@byCeddy]

im sorry but am i missing something? why cant they add a tipping option. i did postmates and i could not be doing that shit without the opportunity of tips. is it a loss for uber to add a tipping option? im so lost.

[@adilchoudhury4249]

Ceddy It's a marketing tool. TIP will have to be given 100% to the driver by law and no share cut. Also, not tipping option does invite a huge crowd voluntarily which means more money for uber. Think about it !

[@zoneusa]

Uber drivers 90% and uber 10% that's it.

[@DeepValueOptions]

the driver did lose 100k bc of uber but how much did he make?

[@carloscamacho8245]

The problems is in the cross dispatching system if they would had left the way it was when black couldn't do uber x but they force new drivers to do uber x in a 70k car is uber fault because uber x no promotion compare to uber black and SUV they have to promote to bring customer and uber x they come by themselves what mess up the black and SUV was the cross dispatching

[@mudassartai4936]

true. Only way to get raise is. Stop driving and rates will eventually go up

[@joejug162]

it would be a 50/50 blame if travis didn't intend on screwing the drivers. But he absolutely did. It was basically a pre-planned scam from the start. A driver got tricked, because he was foolish. Does part of the fault go to him for being stupid? Yes, absolutely, but only like 30%, not 50.

[@ericcub78]

Why would anyone go out and buy a car just to use it for Uber? The drivers should just use the car that they already have.

[@tonebeatz24]

Uber needs to be more regulated by gov't like yellow cab services. Screw all these pvt companies. Life was much better before.

[@Tousen89]

He's sitting there saying; You have to take responsibility for letting me scam and con you. It's both right and wrong.

[@hititandquitit69]

Couldn't have said it any better uberman. This is a 50/50 industry. But it seems that drivers are losing more and this company is winning more.

[@zyphior4358]

It's the driver's fault. Read through the terms and conditions of the platform you intend to use. Uber as a company shouldn't be responsible for the driver's ignorance. Uber is a company who's objective is to profit. If they can decrease their bottom and/or top line to have a greater profit they are going to do so.

[@fenderguitars6050]

Well then ,..they gotta be honest,..an pay the drivers at least 2 dollars per mile !!

[@blackhole4466]

I started a carpool for my 40 mile commute to the city in 1998. Me and 3 other people from University have a 4x4 for winter and Lincoln town car for better weather months. Lincoln get 26mpg and truck gets 18 mpg. We all share the truck on different weekends for towing a camper or boat and the Lincoln for long road trips. We each drive 1 week a month. The annual cost is about $2400@ to make payment, maintain, insure and fuel. Uber reminds me of hitchhiking and hoping not to be murdered.

[@johnsilver1800]

I went bankrupt because of you lmao

[@fenderguitars6050]

Uber "Must be" 2 dollars per mile for the drivers,.. even 'then' drivers are only making about 8 bucks an hour when you consider everything but right now at 70 cents per mile,... you are WORKING FOR UBER FOR FREE !

[@ribhisaleh87]

dude , on, if u were in his position and someone was talking in a ride way and accusing u that ur the reason of his bankruptcy then I'm sure u wouldn't handle it in a better way than he did, the driver was rude, period.

[@rebelreflection]

This is a college job. Not a career. You will never be rich with this job.

[@a1driver4hire37]

last year I bought a vehicle. The market here wasnt saturated with drivers yet. So it payed well! $5000.00 vehicle could've been payed off in a few months. ride request were none stop 24/7 I know I tried different hours. I've worked them all. and the slow times here last year,still had more business than the average day at the commercial company I came from. ..FYI If you stay in debt..or the more you owe the company/companies harder youll work harder, work longer,because your goals are higher...therefore the company make more off you end goal is hire. In bookings. by the end of your shift.

[@TheKaylaGayle]

Someone posted a link to an interview with the driver. Basically, he said he's upset because of all the lowly X's and others who took all his poor Black business away. Boo Hoo. Cry me a river. He spent more money on a car I pay for a YEAR in rent, in a start up with no history and is upset. Also, he said he's been driving since 2010? If he's that upset, why didn't he quit? He's been driving 17 years people. In all that time, he made no money? Somethings fishy here I think.

[@peterrossie1592]

Uber is not there for you to make money. It's there to make uber to make money

[@zackattack80]

Uber Man Busting his ass thats whats up

[@madison0348]

I like your way of thinking..

[@ChrisCas22]

what happened to your other video where your car got t-boned?

[@oscarramirez3198]

Rentals a scam too

[@djpadronhtown]

If he's gonna talk about taking responsibility he should start by having a better support department for drivers. A lot of times we have to wait for days or weeks before an issue gets resolved. Right now I have not gone out driving for a week because on my earnings I'm on negative because of a $200 charge on my fuel card that I did not make, I already reported it as fraud but they have not done anything. Where's Lyft? Where's Tryde? Right now Houston is a Monopoly with just Uber here. I used to say nice things about Uber but now, ask me what I think about Uber.

[@imagelush5146]

Playing with rates like that, how is the driver supposed to foresee

[@Me-yh4uc]

STOP DRIVING UBER FOR 30 DAYS. FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO. PULL THE TRIGGER ALL AT ONCE. HE WILL BE BEGGING YOU ALL TO COME BACK.
