As an IC, and NOT an employee, I have the ABSOLUTE RIGHT to know AHEAD OF TIME any and all info that will help me make an informed decision about where I decide to drive MY CAR paying for MY GAS for MY SAFETY. So, hell yes, I will HAPPILY discriminate 24/7 for my safety.

[@ronnieinabnit5407]

I take all rides no matter what. I took a pax yesterday a half mile but it put me in position to pick one up going 54 miles. Take the good with the bad.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Ronnie Inabnit Can't argue that point at all!

[@Melancholyjones]

Ronnie Inabnit I usually set a number the first 10 rides and then i go back home it usually works out great

[@TracyAllen]

+Luna EB Did you have my passenger from yesterday? LOL!!! I had someone that needed to go about 6 blocks to 7/11 and back home. I wouldn't have canceled on him but, wow... And like Ronnie mentioned... it put me in a location to pick up some guys going about 40 miles out.

[@TiborMozesAmbrus123]

+Ronnie Inabnit Hey this is true as well! This doesn't work on the 3am calls in the suburbs, however. If you're stuck out there, you're stuck. Gotta wait and take a nap. You might not get another call for an hour, and it may again be 18 miles away (hopefully not). I think that in the future, Uber will allow us to edit how many miles we can drive to do a pickup.

[@1982kinger]

I don't mind a block or two when I'm close. Downtown in Houston Ive strung several quick trips together with the pickups scheduled before I drop off. If it goes right, you get the min on each one for 3-4 quick trips. I.e., I had a dropoff then like a pickup 1-4 blocks away, then a few more like that.

[@RandomGuyDan]

I wouldn't cancel for a short trip, but several times recently I have had riders pull me 30 miles away from downtown Chicago right before the evening rush. Sure I make a decent fare way out to the 'burbs, but it is an hour out and at least an hour back with minimal fare opportunities on the trip back and I miss most of the evening rush and the related surge. This is perhaps my biggest gripe with Uber so far (about 6 weeks in). Uber has a very sophisticated system and should be able to notify drivers that the ride will take them far outside the downtown area and give them the right to decline. I have never cancelled an accepted ride except for a customer no show, and I won't start now. But this is what I currently do for a living and the long trips outside the city end up costing me about as much as I make.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

D Palmer I completely agree with you.

[@carriethompson84]

D Palmer SAME HERE!!!! Always right b4 I have to pick my son up from daycare at 6:30pm & from Atlanta, that could EASILY be 1.5, almost 2 hours depending on traffic & it never happens until about 4:30pm then I HAVE to start heading right back from where I came with no pay bc I can't use the "enter your destination" feature bc there's not enough time at that point. Sometimes I've been able to do it & it's wonderful except for the time Uber made me 24 mins late picking my son up which costs $1 per minute after 6:30pm.. So I basically lost that entire fare. I have to put my arrival time as 30 mins b4 the actual time otherwise they'd have me late every time! I complained & then they did a survey about weeks ago asking questions about that particular feature... Dunno if it was really aimed at me or if everyone had the opportunity to take the survey.

I use an iPhone 6+ and drive for UberX and UberASSIST in SoCal. I've tried this method on several rides now and every time it just says "To: As directed..." for the destination. Wouldn't matter for me though if it did work...unless I'm in the top three of the airport queue I accept pretty much any ride that's less than 10 minutes away.

[@MrFisherdr80]

In Cincinnati we frequently get trip requests that are 10-20 and even 25 minutes away or more. A low acceptance rating will not get you banned from the app, and if this is a concern you can decline the trip. Generally speaking, I will not accept rides that are more than ten minutes away unless I'm in a rural part of our pick-up area.

[@chuckkoos6927]

This will be great. I won't use it to cancel short rides, I'll use it to travel toward home at the end of the day. Sometimes a PAX will take me a long way from home and this way I can take rides in the direction I need to go. I've asked Uber to give us the ability to do this but they've ignored my requests. Lyft already does it with their destination filter (in some markets).

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Chuck Koos It's a great feature!

[@garryvanamburg5684]

Uber Man, for Mardi Gras which started this past weekend Uber has "reached out" to their veteran drivers who were driving last year for Mardi Gras and are still driving now. One thing they said was to ditch the Google Maps navigation and switch over to WAZE. Turns out that that seems like a good suggestion. I have had very little trouble using WAZE vs Google Maps. In addition, they said to ignore Uber's advice to text riders first before calling. With the crowds and traffic it's best to confirm the pax location immediately after accepting a ping by calling them. That way you can talk and drive legally here while texting requires you to pull over and stop to avoid violating local law and possibly having an accident. Besides, there is often no place to pull over in New Orleans as parking is tight and finding a safe location off the street is not easy. So WAZE it and call, don't text. I've had good results. If a pax asks me why I didn't text (that's never happened to me) I'll just explain that that is what Uber advised us to do during the busy Mardi Gras season.

[@lconner3993]

I appreciate this, because I saw on the news a few weeks ago about an Uber driver that took a rider (a Pro NFL player) from IL to NY, because he had an emergency. I get it, it was nice of him to do it, and the cost of the trip was $600, I think and he was tipped $300, but that's when I started thinking, "How far can they request a destination? And how can I see where they want to go to make sure I'm not driving hundreds of miles because I didn't know where they were going beforehand." So, this video helps, thank you!

[@jke387]

Heyy, Chi-town female Uber driver here too! Yeah, I end up in some very bad areas too! And those saying "don't be an Uber driver" can STFU.

[@mediasmoker]

First off, I love your video's...so thank you. I just started driving last week for the RNC convention. While it was very cool getting to drive some of the out of state delegates, I had hit a huge learning curve, mostly I think because my app's kept shutting down & getting all kinds of insane pop-up's. I was almost ready to say "this isn't for me". While I can't really prove it, I think I'm missing a couple of fares. I honestly lost count & was just a bit overwhelmed with driving through neighborhoods that I would never otherwise drive because they're dangerous, as well as having a final group of 6 drunks who were just incredibly rude. Anyway...The other night I ended up dropping a couple off in a College bar district. No sooner I ended the ride, I got pinged instantly. Mind you, I'm on a road w/ bars connected to each other & on both sides of the road. When it told me I had arrived, I pulled over in front of the bar and waited for the rider. After about 8 minutes, I sent a text that I was there & described the vehicle w/ the 4 way flashers on. The guy called & started getting upset, trying to argue about which bar I should be parked in front of, but I had no idea where it was. I guess he wanted curb side service at the front door. I'll fast forward past all the details that made me want to leave or just choke him... So he puts his drunk buddy in my vehicle & starts demanding I repeat the address destination, because he no longer has it. You can try to imagine how that went. So it turns out that the guy who placed the order wasn't going for the ride. He just wanted me to take his drunk buddy home...way out in BFE where the cows roam. The signal had kept dropping like it did my first night out, so I just listened to the guys directions on where to go. At the end of the trip, almost 30 minutes later after it had finally started... I did manage to close out the trip like normal. The only problem at that point was that it never showed up in my log & I never got paid. It's as if the trip never even happened. So my question is... Did this happen because I didn't deliver the phone of the guy who placed the order to the destination, or is this just another fluke with the system? One of the reasons that I took this job was to make an effort to see the good in other people. After spending 14 hours steam cleaning & detailing my vehicle, the last 4 drunks who left potato chips, beer & a half eaten chocolate covered ice cream bar running down the side of my back seat... Well, fortunately I didn't end up on the news. Sorry for the long post, any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[@chris66qwert]

sometimes there is a delay in the trip showing up on your app. If you successfully completed the trip, I'm confident that it will be on your pay statement.

I take all rides. The short ones are a cost of doing business. Assuming I don't know the destination, I'm often surprised -- hell, I just left the airport, now I'm going back (good), or the odd lady who needs to go about 40 miles. You never know. But, where I usually drive, I can't be picky, and short rides add up right now to little bonuses to compensate.

[@imanione]

Cygnus X-1 Heh, this is good feedback. I was that odd lady, the drive cost me $51. It took just over am hour. However, the rider (me) is now becoming an Uber driver and guess who's codes I'm using to sign up for Uber & Lyft? Yep, my super friendly & patient 40+ mile driver. She gonna get PAID, because she was good to me! And THAT'S why you do it! ;-)

[@johndoh4064]

Sure. Take all rides. Without question or concern.... Until you repeatedly catch fares going across state lines into a neighboring state without reciprocity, getting stuck in four hours of 3 mph traffic heading into said state and 6 hours back out. All on a trip that SHOULD take slightly longer than an hour in either direction but due to traffic and the fact that you cannot originate a trip from within said state and therefore cannot deduct anything for the return trip, you've just wasted an entire day on one single fare ( after toll reimbursements, a whole $55 ) that not only was a complete wash due to it being all on your dime on the way back, you actually lost money due to the substantially longer trip back.... to finally get back to your home state, log on and surprise surprise....get another pax wanting to go across the state line......No smart business would do this repeatedly and neither will I.

Hello! I am working the food pick up & delivery APP's. What I'm trying to see in app is where the delivery is from the restaurants to the customers drop off point! This is what gets me down. It seems as though some of my deliveries are "very, very far" out of my starting point and into COMPLETELY different zones or individual areas set up by the company, ie, DoorDash, Favor, Postmates, etc.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

After accepting, on upper right is a info button. This brings up a screen with your assigned phone number, the pax name, and their rating (Chicago area does not see this rating). Press waybill and you will see their pickup location, their destination if they entered it, and other trip info. So you have their destination before pickup.

My concern with wanting to know where a rider is going is due to the out-of-the-blue rides to Manhattan. I live in NJ, and NYC is 40 miles from me. I've been driving for Uber only for a month, but this past Sunday I had my first drop off in Manhattan. It's an 1 hr and 30 min ride just to get out of the Holland tunnel, along with $24 in tolls. The fare was $67 after uber fees, but that doesn't cover the tolls I have to pay to get back to NJ through Brooklyn and Staten Island. It was another $26 in tolls to get back along with needing to refuel after 80 miles of travel. So my actual profit was roughly $25 out of the $67 fare. Last night, I had a pickup at 8:47pm, and when I got there they were going to Manhattan with a bunch of luggage. I had to cancel because I just couldn't take them. My EZ pass was depleted and I was set to "clock out" at 10pm. It just wouldn't be time or cost efficent to drive all the way into Manhattan. So that's really the only reason why I want to know where a rider is going before hand, so I can avoid trips to NYC unless I can actually make the trip.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

That makes sense. Does it work out there?

[@saskialyngeactress]

When I started it I was talking to someone and we were joking about taking people to the airport (which can suck.. and is roughly 30 minutes away). I accept a ride. Go to the location and park in the drive way. It's a younger couple and the girl walks out with a suitcase. _shiiiiiiit_ Dammit I *wanted* a quick 5 mile ride.

last week i drove 2.5miles to a pickup location. It was at an IHop restaurant in Los Angeles at the corner of Western and Slauson . I waited for a while and had to call the rider. she came out and asked me to wait a little longer to pay her bill. i agreed.after about 3minutes she came out with her husband and daughter. when i start the meter their destination was unbelievably 0.1miles .Just crossing slauson and the second house. I make $2.40, spend about 15minutes. I even asked them "Do You really need a ride for this?" the lady said "because we are lazy...." may be she is right. But for me this is the shortest drop off distance? why??? because the rate is so cheap!!!

Dagne Guchyalework Don't contact the rider, ever, unless you are trying to clarify the pick up location. Wait five minutes, and if they don't come out, cancel, collect your $4 ( or whatever it is ) and go to the next ping. In my city, a short haul will be switched to an automatic cancellation, and you'll get the cancel fee.

I started driving 2 days ago around Princeton, NJ. I got a fare from somewhere in Princeton thinking it would be to some of the local stores or to the train station. After I had the riders luggage in the trunk and rider in the car, she told me she was going to JFK Airport in NY. It took me 2hrs 26mins to get there, and a further 3hrs to get back home. Afterward I searched for a way to see if I could see the final destination before pick-up so I could cancel such a long ride as it wasn't worth the hassle of driving in Friday rush hour traffic going into NYC. I found your video and tried the "Waybill Method" the next day, but like many people here keep getting "TO: As Directed...".A few things Uber could do to improve the experience for drivers would be to:1. Allow drivers to see the rider's destination before pick-up so they can cancel on an extra-long journey they don't wish to make.2. Have a way to set a radius or region the driver is comfortable driving in3. Let the driver have a picture of the rider in the same way the rider gets a picture of the driver so we know who we're looking for and to prevent some riders getting in the wrong vehicle.

[@nlee4566]

Agreed with everything u said. One thinh i dont understand is not being able to see passengers pic...makes no sense becausr its more important for us to see them then it is for them to see us.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

I'm with you brother!!! I agree.

[@lobarie]

The same thing happened to me last week. from Jersey City to Princeton it took two and a half hours to get back home.

[@selenaadams7332]

Seeing a picture in advance gives the driver an opportunity to discriminate based on what the passenger looks like by canceling the ride on them. This has happened with other services where they require a picture. You have the passenger's name in advance so most drivers I know asks what's your name before they get into the car. That's all the verification you need.

[@ksmith2428]

Great info!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thank you.

[@georgesmith5437]

This should only be used to be able to input in the nav system in the drivers car. No problem.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+George Smith Agreed

[@peterlistino5005]

Thanks!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Peter Listino You're welcome.

[@jessegarcia8251]

Hey Uber Man. You need to make a video where Uber notifys passengers when the surge is over so they can request, what happens is as you get closer the surge refreshes so you as a driver don't get it, what I do is log off for a couple of minutes get into the area that was surging and it will refresh to a surge log on and sweep the rides on surge

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Good idea. I'll try to do one like this in the future. Thanks.

[@SUCKAFREE86]

It works awesome

[@powerupwatersports15]

Ok that was good, but what I really need is what I'm told by uber we can set destination so we will only get trips going to one direction like Home. the pic they sent is old. Thanks for all your help

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

What is the question?

[@YukstaysHotels]

Ubering in San Diego , Monday to Thursday DOES NOT EVEN COVER GAS COSTS.

[@alejandroalba391]

thats cause your a dump ass hahaha fucken idiot got clock i. for minimum wage idiot

[@budbetternippers6808]

Thanks for sharing because I will drive to city of Chicago unless its a airport run, I would need to do this! I don't mind driving someone short distance because they may tip!! I will refuse drivers who are going to area's far into city no thanks!!!!!!!!!!

[@Jimbo4327]

I have a Droid. The waybill doesn't show a destination. I've tried it before. Only way to see where you're going to is to accept the ride as soon as you arrive at pickup point. Then you can cancel and split. A friend of mine has Done this. It doesn't help your rating at all but if you don't care about that, then it's all good.

[@MikeTechTactical]

worked for me

[@jessegarcia8251]

yeah you anticipate see it no more, they hid it cuz ppl found out probably some drivers spiked in cancellations.

[@davidbreitman9728]

I agree with Ronnie! I don't pick and choose. I'm a driver.job is to get people there ... Near or far.

[@BarracudaRacing]

Good info ill let you know

[@allisonjohnson6241]

UberAlly says....IF you do not want a short trip because it takes too long to get there....and UBER dispatches you anyways...CALL the client and ask them how far they are going. If its not worth your while.....explain it to them and ask them to please cancel the trip. Most clients don't have a problem with that once it is explained to them that it cost us money to take them under 3 miles if we have to drive 5 miles to go get them. Just make sure they cancel within the 5 minute timezone so they are not charged. Uber doesn't always take care of us so we are FORCED to figure out ways to watch out for numero uno...YOU! Uber on!

[@SilkyG]

[@MrJennifer2282]

question: how is the Uber directional requester working for you, I'm in NY it doesn't help too much

[@daRealRoot]

Hopefully with all the recent attention this feature has received on social media and here on youtube ...uber doesnt change the system to where drivers cant see this work around any longer. Ive been using this loop hole for a few months and havent shared with many people to prevent just this.. but i knew it was a matter of time it will come to light.

[@kurtec01]

Mistah Root If you don't already know by now, its been patch.

[@daRealRoot]

Yup.. Exactly as i predicted 2 days ago.. in fact i posted on the Uber man driver network group on fb.. and its received over 70 comments since this afternoon

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

***** I'm glad it's gone. No offense. Too many were using it to cheat the system. For me, it doesn't matter.

[@raethetalented1848]

Uber Man agreed!

[@chriskelly509]

I honestly don't care where they are going I only care about how much time it is going to take to get to the pax. I got a ping last week that was 35min away ya I don't think so.

Does this method still work for seeing rider final destination?

[@4286Kitty]

I have a question. Am I allowed to travel out of my area or state to drive for Uber? For example could I travel from Pa. to Florida driving for Uber picking up passengers on the way down?

[@rideshareroadwarriorrick]

Audrey Sorg: Uber & Lyft drivers only can pickup in anywhere in the State you are licensed in

[@paulmcmahan5065]

Has anyone else had issues when it shows surge, it blinks red in the center and after the rides you go check the price and no surge was paid. This happened to me four times yesterday. I contacted Uber and they said it did not surge. I was in a red market at 2 times, it showed surge when I accepted the ride. Uber basically cheated me out of surge for four rides. Makes me more determined to use Lyft as often as possible. Turn both on if Uber comes first, leave Lyft on, if they send a ride, cancel the Uber ride.

[@joshuablack9432]

Uber alerts passengers when prices are surging. Passengers are then given the option to get a notification when the prices fall. If they request the trip as soon as they get the notification, your screen might still be red, but that is a time lag issue. The surge is over.

[@alejandromacias1674]

It happened to me yesterday I did 2 rides on a red zone and I didn't see any surge payments on my pay:(

[@gregboonie1557]

tell UBER support about it .they will fix it

[@Imgithiomi]

Paul McMahan Surge is not there to benefit you. Surge is a way of making you head to that area because no uber cars are available. by the time those colors show, Uber already has informed riders price is going up. they can either risk or wait. it's not worth chasing surge. if it finds you, we'll and good. several times I have been in a surging area, only to be called go pick someone outside the surging area

[@gregboonie1557]

Ng'ash Wakabang' I Must agree with you strongly. One night ... very very late at night like 3:00 am , I was driving pretty bad and rough area with in Los Angeles... I know no one is driving that area because when I see an very strange at that time of the NIGHT and very tiny and strong surge popped out right in front of me all of sudden.... I checked with passenger app and there are no UBER Cars OBVIOUSLY IN an such an dangerous ghetto. I was thinking this is very bizarre... then one request kicked in all of sudden . I was in a x 2.1 surge and I took the request even though I could ignore it with my high acceptance rates for my safety of my life . I Ve arrived pick up location and the lady is very condescending mannered ghetto gang banger female from hell telling me to rush to her coffee bean managing job that Nation wide Black Gang group "BLOODS" took over the entire national franchise chain for financial gains. ( it's very well known facts that Notorious Gang group sending non convicts into national franchise corporations to slowly scam and steal large sum of funds for long periods of times for the Gang group expansion and for transformation into Mafia group. ) So , I ve rushed to reach her destination as she wished me to do and right after that I've got crazy bad riders report and I did not get ANY SURGE FEES. DUE TO IT WAS MANUALLY MANIPULATED BY ONE OF Gang member who has an access to main systems . I confronted with the center for almost week and got some money I deserves but that's the reality ....

[@johndoucette3229]

can u ask for a specific drive ,, i e a private call

[@kristinamathieu8121]

The problem is how to see their destination before you accept it but the damn thing goes by so fast, I don’t mind shit trips but I do t like ending up going three freeways for many miles without notice, it should say long trip or how many miles because I have to get back home after drop off as well.

[@kathiderseweh2143]

i have the iphone 6plus and it does work

do u have to go into way bill before u accept? will have to be fast

[@louisrossignol7900]

My problem with why I need this is going to new orleans. My car is an 06 trail blazer, so I'm not allowed to pick people up in new orleans. However, living in metairie makes it to where everyone I pick up want to go to new orleans. So until I get a newer model car I'm expected to drive to new orleans to drop someone off but, then I have to drive all the way back to metaire roughly (11 miles) before I can even ping. Sorry this message sounds stupid its 2:04 am and I don't feel like proofreading.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

You're fine! I guess for now, that's how it has to be. :( Sorry.

[@louisrossignol7900]

Oh well I'm getting a newer car in a couple of days. But what a waste of gas and time.

[@rubab8114]

I drove yesterday about 3km and the rider was going only 350 metres with a shopping bag lol. People just order uber when they are bored or something it's like let's order uber and we will have someone to talk to

[@batmangsxr300]

There is and always was a way to see the destination before you get there. Start the trip right before you get there and cancel if you don't like what you see lol

[@MrBruceSinclair]

I hope this works for me (my phone is an android). I’m driving in Las Vegas and we ARE NOT allowed to go to the airport. Thanks for the info.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+MrBruceSinclair No problem. Thanks for watching.

[@ezwaitloss]

Lyft used to have this available, no longer. you can't see the way bill before the trip is started ever I've tried

[@imranhaq5232]

Uber doesn't let you see the waybill anymore before the start of the trip. If you try after accepting a trip you get a message "Error accessing waybill" which makes you think there might be a technical error temporarily preventing you from seeing it.

[@wishbone20t]

Yes it works I just did it

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

wishbone20t Great!!

[@williamyancey1225]

Un the watever Bill says destination unknown until I start the trip. But guess what I have to call them and ask politely every time the person is MORRE than 7 minutes away; and it wont pin you if you are at the same ip anymore

[@lukhazperez2380]

Im using an S8+ on my waybill it just said "as directed" now I'm not sure if the passenger have not put the destination yet.

[@jayeshthakkar655]

hi I live in Toronto but in the waybill it says" as directed." any other ways to find out??

[@Greengator627]

Here's something riders are doing in Jax. They request on a street with a fake house number during a surge. If it's main st for example. And there's a real address of 1234 and 1236. They enter 1235! When u accept the ride, it's shows no surge? But u see there is a surge in that area. It give you the address to a nav too. But, when u tap the area, say to contact the ride. Area that show pickup and destination. You will see that the pickup address is listed as "unknown address" I think the uber computer is confused about the riders actual location so no surge charge is applied. Happened twice to me yesterday. I cancelled both!!

[@CliffSees]

I have not driven yet, but isn't that part of the information the pax inputs? I have GPS built-in to my entertainment/info system. I can't enter a destination while the car's in motion, so I would need to plug in the destination before I arrive for pick up. It seems to me that this would be part of the Uber system to begin with, since so many cars today do have GPS onboard.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+Cliff Sees Yes, and no. It's built in to the driver app so that IF the passenger gives the destination prior to your arrival, it can automatically direct you through the apps GPS. However: The destination is not required for you to get a ping / run. Uber recommends using Google maps.

[@talibmujahidzada567]

hey Uber man thanks bro your information is absolutely useful ? do you have any idea how may know which riders rates us law thanks? ???

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thank you. There is no way to know which riders rate us low.

[@maxflyman5435]

Know this is a long time after your post, but, the only way to know, as close as possible, is to check your rating on the app about 5 minutes (or as soon as you can) after dropping the pax off. I check my rating each morning before I start, and this same way after each rider. It helps me know fairly well who and what their rating was. Even more so, helps me pin point the yahoos who think the are ordering a limo, instead of Uberx. Mostly kids, etc. who have the NERVE to send a comment about my car "cleanliness", because the last guy left a few pieces of grass etc. on the floor mat, yet the last 4 rides gave me 5 star ratings and even tips. Just really kind of blows my whole day when some narrow minded individual does that.

[@timothyjmullis]

Drove 10 minutes one time to pick up a girl at a women's clinic. When I got there, it was obvious she had a procedure done. Problem was, the clinic wouldn't release her unless she had a ride. So she figured she would call an uber to drive her to her car 200 ft. away. Pissed me off because when I completed the trip, uber said trip wasn't far enough and didn't get paid. This happened when I first started driving for them. Hindsight, I should have called uber and raised hell. But then again, don't know if it would have done me any good.

[@craigherbert6640]

The clinic should be responsible to pay for it but then what do you expect from baby killers

[@wainber1]

It'll be nice for me to know, if I do end up driving for Uber, a passenger's destination, so that I can, before I get to pick up the passenger, where I will be taking him or her. That said, it isn't inevitable I will be driving for Uber, given the expensive infrastructure required (e.g. a vehicle costing at least US$30,000 after taxes, in the case of most UberBlack vehicles).

Suggestion ..dont start if you are agai at worst case of digital slavery...today I made 47$... I started at 5:25 am and first ride I got was around 10am... when I called support the guy who.may be new gave me information that no one ever does that my car was only eligible for uber eats and disabled for passengers without any notification or my knowledge.... like idiots I was on road....I have been driving since 2016...even yesterday I had passengers... i will be looking soon for a lawyer
