I have to do a schedule every week or I can't go on. How am I not an employee? This is will never understand how Uber gets away with. Or their race to 0$ on rides now i have seen as low as 3.22$ Never for months saw anything under 5$ now barely see anything above 5$ its getting sickening.

Time for local and state governments to step in require better standards for drivers. The fact the only a few have paid any attention to this is mind boggling.

I went to Austin last Christmas to drive. I picked up this woman off of 6th St. she was blasted. She set her stop to the loading dock of a high school.

I turned on my Meta glasses, went through her purse, got her ID and drove her 30 minutes away to her house. I knocked and knocked and nobody answered, she lived alone.

I started recording again, got her keys, helped her to her couch, ran out after I locked the door.

I rang her ring doorbell and left a message with my name, DL, time, what happened, verified the locked door, and my phone number.

She called me the next day and tipped me $300

Lyft recently agreed to pay $272 million in California for wage theft, and DoorDash recently agreed to pay $131 million in NYC if this is not clear enough for every state politician to get involved i don’t know what will.

They should pay us drivers for all the money they steal from us.Every time we log on to their apps , we are not independent contractors we are dependent contractors

this is the kinda of thing that happens when you give anyone with a driver license and a car a job.

They must be passing that cost onto drivers because this week has been brutal. First time in history my acceptance rate said zero

If drivers need more training; then so do passengers.

I had a person from an insurance ride try to get in my car connected to an IV.  I told them I couldn't and would not be responsible.

They just pick drivers off the streets. Sometimes the car description doesn’t match the car that you actually get picked up in.

$40 million? I guess they needed our tip money for that

Uber sending offers when you are on a delivery or driving a client to their destination is a major hazard.

The offer should be queued until your delivery or drop-off is completed.

It's written in the Uber documentation that if the driver has to ask someone to leave the vehicle for an incident they should do so in a well-lit space that is safe.

“PICK- UPS”

In “unsafe locations” is an issue as well.

I got

“PERMANENTLY SUSPENDED”

From Lyft over it…

Complete stupidity.

You can always say, NO… Because every ride you take is a risk even though you’re technically contracted with Uber or LYFT.

Like tonight, I had some girl order a ride for her friend that I just needed to take her a mile away to her parents house. Clearly this girl was not feeling well and from what both had told me, the young lady had regurgitated throughout the night.

I can legally and responsibly say no I’m not taking this trip. Cancel it and drive off. If I take this trip, the liability falls on me. So I took the trip after I told them this is what my conditions were and they agreed to it. The girl had a bark bag and things of that nature and she stayed on the phone with the girl until I got the girl home. All of this was recorded.

In other words… Cover yourself

Hey, I really like your channel and the great topics you bring up for us to discuss!
​Regarding this case, I don't know too much about the details, but my two cents is that if a passenger gets dropped off somewhere not really meant for pedestrians and gets into an accident right after, the person responsible is the one who actually hit her—not the Uber driver. If that weren't the case, drivers could get blamed for anything that happens to a passenger after they step out of the car.
​Sure, letting someone out in a tricky spot isn't ideal, but she could have easily stepped behind the guardrail and called another car. Plus, if someone is intoxicated, it's hard to see how the driver could be held accountable for their choices once they're out. It feels pretty similar to dropping anyone else off at their destination.
​Also, just changing the topic a bit—I've noticed you share a lot of criticism toward Uber on here. Just as a heads-up, if you're still driving and they happen to stumble across your videos, you could risk getting deactivated. Definitely something worth keeping in mind!

maybe you don't consider those messages and information as training but they are often very extensive

I agree....
Uber has no training whatsoever on their app about such scenarios that could potentially put the drivers & passengers at risk such mentioned or similar to those scenarios. Yesterday I can tell that I had an incident in which a mother & a teen daughter rode with me & were heading towards a concert etc. So the place & traffic was hard to get to her specific assigned destination according to the app that it gives to drop off the passengers. So the Lady knowing that the her destination drop off was gonna
be further to walk to & be (on time...) for her daughter's concert & the big quantity  of peoples that were around the area for that specific concert, THEN she told me & decided that she wanted to be dropped off a few blocks or half a mile before to her supposed destination that she was first assigned according to the map app. So then I tried to reason with her & tried to explain her that I needed to do my dutty according to the assignment of the Uber app & that I actually needed to dropped her off where I was told to. I told her twice of this, because I also told her that the app would not let me close the ride, "if" I don't reach where the actual ride is intended to go...etc. But again she requested to be dropped off like half a mile or few blocks earlier. So I didn't wanna argue with her either, since she was a nice decent lady overall. So I granted her wish to be dropped off with her teen daughter where she wanted....
But she told me that I could go ahead & go to the destination later to be able to close the ride as I should....
So yeah...Uber doesn't show or train Drivers....these types of case scenarios, but who gets the blame without asking how exactly things turned out to be in some many cases, since they are not there to see for themselves & witness etc., then some drivers can get the blame & not them...Aka Uber company.
I think Uber overall need to take conscious of these real life scenarios that many of Uber drivers & perhaps Lyft too...go thru. I think Uber should implement or add in their driver app extra features or notes of to explain right away why the driver HAD TO dropp off the passenger client earlier from the destination as intended. So drivers & customers don't  start in a unnecessarily misleading or misunderstanding & erroneous altercation upon driving request because of dropp off destination as intended etc. I hope I made sense of this by trying to explain these types of case scenarios. It happens & I think drivers as much as passengers should be safe & protected as well by the laws & not just a big company that actually doesn't know exactly how things happens in some case scenarios & stepp up with the test assessment in their training program in their app etc.

In Vegas all taxi drivers in my company have to undergo Smiths school of driving , and they must pass , twice a year .
Spring and fall safety class !

I think there should be a button you call for support that the rider is not of the right mind.  But you need to get that person to set destination but they don’t want to pay them.
