The Island and Haitian restaurants are the worst to drivers, they make the driver wait for all customers in line to finish. It is never first come, First serve, with these people!!!
Very simple - have to work more hours to make same pay. that is why engagement is up and pay down
Not true. I never go over 35 active hours weekly across a few platforms and always end up making $1k weekly. I'm in the burbs. If I start seeing autonomous vehicles I'll be sure to have a parking cone in my trunk
@@subzero07094 you mean not true for you. pay is down -
@@subzero07094 All to do with where you drive, market saturation etc. There are still 'unique' areas, areas that do not have driver saturation. You are obviously in one of those. Many other drivers are not. LA, for example, is an absolutely saturated market. I have a friend who drives in a different state. He does well, because his market is not saturated, & makes min. $45/hr., all rideshare. My area is saturated, I never exceed $42/hr, not matter what I do. Out of 40+ hrs online, I'm only active around 10 hrs, because the other offers are just not worth taking. Privates now make up the difference.
This is the point that 238 is making. You can't just make a statement about the micro area that you drive, and think it applies all over the country. Because it certainly, does not!
That's a great explanation actually, not a good reason but a very valid one.
All these platform suck tbh, it's metrics say they are all in the green.
But we on the ground are dealing with less pay less volume and over saturation of drivers.
Last 2 weeks Uber volume is drastically down, can't get an order that isn't 1 for 1 d/km
Go hours without orders on all three major apps
Heavy increase in trip radar use aswell. Seems like they are trying to increase competitiveness amongst drivers in order to push pay outs lower
Also payouts and base pay is drastically inconsistent
Will get 12 dollar orders for 8 km with a 3 dollar base pay
And a 10 km order for 11 dollars with an 8 dollar base pay.
It's all about making the metrics work they couldn't care less if you make decent money or not.
I think soon there will be a massive decline in drivers, I have been working full time recently, and every single day you see a different driver you've never seen before, every restaurant 3 or 4 drivers show up to at the same time
Restaurant wait times are through the roof. I'm waiting ten mins or more for half my orders
Uber is doing everything in their power to pay drivers less, and charge riders more.
Greedy corporate brands of the wall streets.
Those early years with crazy high multipliers and surge pay are gone, now it's about leanness and optimizing. I understand running a lean business but drivers vote with their feet. It's gotta be fair pay
The biggest issue they need to figure out is to not even give those orders that are ridiculous! $7 for 18 miles as an example. It cuts into the algorithm at least stop the order and say "it's out of range" for our drivers and maybe they can make another suggestion with AI!?? AI can track everything from junk orders to also great orders. It can learn and kick out or ENTICE a larger tip for instance if it's within the "zone of not being offensive"! As the riders are making less, all gig work companies need to make sure it's fair and entice more tipping for the miles driven...they are too LAX on crazy offers and should stop the order immediately and make another suggestion based on where they live! Does not seem that hard! Thanks for your content.
Makes me think about when we'd give a reason for declining on DD. I would imagine that has to have been fed into some kinda of algorithm
I been getting a lot of 3$ 10 mile offers on Uber eats 😂ever since the protest
UberEats has cut the base pay so bad most orders are about . 10 a mile. Almost all orders are trash. UberEats was my bread and butter for the last few years, but I had to quit because of all the trash orders.
A bunch of gig drivers got trapped after buying a car on payments to work. Many of them can’t sell the vehicle because it’s worth dirt after gig driving so they are stuck paying off a car with gazillion miles.
Would be nice to have an option for how large a shop n pay you're willing to accept like set a threshold
Fantastic idea, could you imagine pay/distance filters as well. Like only send me $X.XX per mile, can't see them ever doing that though that's almost too much control for earners. Maybe a top tier feature, that would be interesting.
YES. Thank you.
Ubereats has been giving me better orders lately. Payout is still meh, but the routes are a lot better. Sometimes when I start i end up by the food strip and by my end of shift i find myself often being very near my house.
Thanks for the heads up, seeing any bonus/surge pay at all?
This sounds too good to be true lol
Until UBER deals directly with tip baiting, I refuse to do another Uber eats order
Mike I have a few questions I was hoping you might be able to answer! I recently got accepted to do uberx. I have only been doing Uber eats. I just got to platinum status two days ago. But when I was accepted for rides all my points that I had earned from deliveries and my platinum status went away and I’m blue status now. Not green? Does your status reset bi-weekly, monthly or annually? Do you know why this happened? Also the driver app seemed to change slightly when I was accepted for rides. I am new to this and have only been working for Uber for two weeks.
I have seen a decline in orders with Uber eats in my area. I spent most of my day declining 15 miles, 23 miles 22 miles for four dollars. It has declined dramatically in my area in addition to customers not tipping, I can’t get anywhere close to my goal now
I certainly won’t be doing rideshare. I’m a female I don’t want anyone in my car, drunk or sober packages are nothing, again 20 miles 15 miles for five dollars. I spend most of my day rejecting everything because it would have me losing money not making money.
Same!!
Use door dash lol atleast you can cherry pick. I only do the money side for best profits.
They should give priority to high tippers
Priority on the customer end or driver end? For customer's that's actually a great idea, give high tipping customers free priority delivery (saves $3-$4) every now and then.
Not sure how anyone drives ride share for Uber. Pay is so low, you're effectively paying them to drive.
Get rid of "AI" let us drivers tell Uber what orders we are willing to take, quit sending me orders 6.99 and less and orders less then a dollar a mile, no wonder my acceptance rates is under 10
It's happening to me to. I'm in 6
Going on 3 weeks waiting for the background check to process it says 3- 5 days, should I try and reach out to the customer service or just wait patiently??
I have been seeing connect deliveries without a base upfront pay. Have you ever seen this? Why can't they tell you what you're getting paid before pickup and delivery
I can't stop looking at his hair lol
Omg me too 😂😂😂😂
Hahahah
Check out a weird movie called Eraser Head
So do we hover around the restaurants or the neighborhoods ro doordash effectively?
Compare the DD hot spots with your own market knowledge and wait in areas that you feel are best. Remember working around the edges of zones may have a higher risk of pulling you outside of your scheduled work zone because each restaurant has a set delivery radius so that radius may pull into adjacent zones.
I actively engage equally with both Uber and Uber Eats declining offers. If their AI was working, I would see better offers, not worse. Instead, my AR is 15%. $29.55 for a 54 minute 44.6 mile ride is not acceptable. $3 to $5 for 4 to 5 mile rides are not acceptable in any market, especially San Diego.
Ive been asking UE to add a filter so I can regulate anything $7 or below or milage's not to be offered to me and one for certain restaurants or locations. Add that filter and you will find out quickly what drivers preferences are. If AI will learn it then fine do it that way, just hurry up and get it done.
Some other commenters have brought up driver saturation and I can’t agree more.
We are seeing fares in less populated areas to be not only much reasonable but sometimes insane levels when the customer waits for a very long time.
Our group for drivers across Canada see fares as low as 1 dollar in like the GTA but in rural Vancouver fares as high as 50 dollars without tip.
The Oversaturation is bad enough I would say that it’s time to pivot but we aren’t seeing options to pivot to. I personally signed up for Amazon flex, had to go back on my shop and pay restriction and will be looking to exit this vertical (food delivery)
My car is too small for passengers. I just do Uber eats for Uber but I kinda gave up on them. I turn them on when it’s slow but I get like $2 offers so I don’t use them very much.
Hey Mike, love the channel. Pittsburgh guy here as well and just starting to take driving a little more seriously. I am even thinking about renting from Hertz. If you have any tips or tricks for me to maximize my time in the Pittsburgh area, I would love to hear them. Thanks.
Don't rent from hertz. Trade your car in once every 2 years and use the extra money to payoff the entire car
Pittsburgh guy here as well doing Uberx for 2 months now and been averaging 400 a day during weekdays and 600-700 on weekends
The Walmart Parcel Delivery is usually packages. Similar to Amazon Flex. I’ve seen some big payouts for those in the Pittsburgh market. $100-$200+
I had a $120 Walmart route for like 40 miles. The algorithm had me start and finish around the same area and took like 2 hours. Very niceee
@@T3N5H11 Not good enough. That is insanely inefficient!
I'll take some parcel delivery runs, never received an offer but if I get one and the pay makes sense I'll take it.
I’ve had a few bigger Parcel deliveries from the Pittsburgh Mills. Only thing that sucks is sometimes you are waiting a long time for someone to bring them out.
Can you do a video on how to get more orders for Uber Eats on a E bike?
I definitely make more with DoorDash but I still do UberEats bc I don't have to rely on scheduling in advance or hoping it's busy enough for me to get online. Also, declining orders doesn't have an effect with Uber, unlike Doordash. I can be more selective in accepting orders that'll actually pay well enough. My issue rn is that most of the promos around me are for the city of Houston, and I live in the suburbs. It's not feasible for me to drive 40 miles to make an extra $2 on every order.
Why aren't people talking about the fact that certain types of orders are on time!!! And why certain restaurants are never on time, like Pollo Tropical, C4EATS, Dunn's River Cafe, Burger King, IHOP, DENNY's, Bargain Family Restaurant, Pizza places, Italian places, and Haitian and Island places. No excuse!
I walk in to a La Granja or Spanish place and my order is ready on time. Also, Bento Asian is always on time!!As well as, some ASIAN AND CHINESE ARE ON TIME!!
That would be packages, like walmart spark packages. but the pay is better than walmart spark in my opinion.
Parcel is preferred to grocery so if it's GM delivery I'd definitely be interested.
Spark does have routed delivery for small orders, basically just packages. Those orders are ineligible for tips though. In my market they're typically 15-20 stops with estimate time to deliver of like 60-90 minutes with pay between $60-$80
This is nuts! On my app the tip is important but I also made sure that I was able to give customers enough incentive to use it. I have done that and thus drivers using my app will earn $30-$60 an hour.
Thanks for sharing, like Flex I like the 'set it and forget' style where I'm locked in for a hour or so. If the pay/miles make sense I'd definitely be interested.
i think they need to priortize drivers that work 30+ hours/wk instead of the part-timers, who, as i see it, are making it harder for me as a full-time driver to live
Understandable, and considering full time or longer hour dashers (10+ hours a week) make up just 10% of the overall Dasher pool
YES (duh)
@@YourDriverMikethe top ten percent imo
For me personally I just cut my hours down to 25 from 40 at work and do gig work to supplement part of my income. I'm finally happy and if it continues i'll just make gig work my full time. My job gives me depression and anxiety so i doubt it will be a hard decision to make later.
The one thing that always keeps me going with gig work, despite earning fluctuation, is the freedom you get relative to a normal 9 to 5. Start when you want. End when you want. Take breaks when you want. Vacation when you want. Work where you want (so long as there is a market).
It’s my primary deciding factor. And then there is doing your own thing.
So it’s not bad at all, but one thing I would definitely suggest if you are going to main gig work is to use as many gig apps as possible. Or at least have them available so you can diversify. If you haven’t done this already 👍🏼
For me Ubers not super big for food delivery or package delivery which is what I do. I turn down most Uber opportunities because the pay is so low, I always leave it running because in cases of surge I get more on Uber, Super Bowl Sunday I got a double order $43+$15 2.9 miles plus and extra $20 was added after the fact so maybe Uber drivers are just leaving the app running and being more selective about which orders they take because they’re multi apping
My app is designed to consistenly offer lucrative orders for drivers to be engaged. Why don't the other big companies don't do it? Simple, they have a bad business model.
Hey Mike, i think a part of the Retention has to do with confidence level. As we see some competitors either fold or get absorbed, the giants like Uber just feel more reliable. A user could install and try some new service but if they have no participants they might wait forever. (Chicken and Egg). With users being more confident i also feel more confident as a driver& courier. Competition is good but it's another equilibrium, one of the market instead of any particular company.
I am a photographer/ videographer so during the summer, I am generally to busy to drive DoorDash or Uber. So for me, with Uber I don't have to schedule my rides, I can see if it is busy and just drive at my convenience. DoorDash is a lot harder to get on-line to deliver. So I now prefer Uber because of that.
Glad you found a good balance. UE is just dead on my profile with not a lot of surge but I'm going to test more shifts this coming spring
@YourDriverMike I have essentially switched to uber x, and been focusing on 10pm to 3am, bar scene. But come summer after college let's out, it will slow down again.
Uber wants commercial insurance in Ohio so I left Uber, and run just Lyft!!
Appreciate the info Mike✌️😁
Specific to bicycles, the algo and platform setup is much more favorable on Uber (More likely to get shorter trips) than DoorDash is. Should AI change this, that could be detrimental in city cores.
My market %95 like this $3 10 miles😂😂
5% lower pay it came down 5% each quarter just in 2023. Not even in nyc is worth it anymore.
This should be a crime. In my app, you will earn more with more time on the app, not the reverse!
I do delivery only during lunch ($70-90), then I go to the airport and back with pax ($75 round trip), then delivery only again for dinner ($70-120 ish). I stay only in the cleaner suburbs, with the exception of the airport run. This yields $215-285/day reliably without really working very hard. My AR fluctuates between 7-15% (lower on weekdays, higher Fri-Sun).
What city? Do you get Surges?
@@creeksiderockmusic Atlanta. We do get surge but I don't pay any attention to it.
Such a pleasure to read a comment where a driver is doing well. You have a great strategy that works for you.
@@MBu-tf5ukthank you! There’s so much negativity with rideshare and delivery, but personally I think it’s great.
Peeps learning better how multiapp
I would like to see the numbers on acceptance rates
I totally hear you, Mike, about the economy. I think that a lot of drivers for Uber or delivery services are sticking around because of the state of the economy, and most of them are not happy with how much they're getting paid. What Uber is offering per delivery or ride is pretty low. They're taking advantage of their drivers, giving them next to nothing, and their platform is just okay. People are only using it still because the job market out there isn't offering fair wages. It's almost like living in poverty, just barely getting by on every paycheck. Plus, the vehicles we use to bring in extra money are decreasing in value. They really need to bump up what they're paying drivers. The base pay isn't cutting it, the bonuses aren't cutting it, and they'd have a better reputation if they took into account the price of gas when determining payments instead of just the distance. It's a tough situation.
They're staying longer, because they are not making as much as before. This could be due to saturation or because they keep talking more and more from the drivers.
Because Uber is more strict
And the pay is not worth it. In my app, you are in control.
I had been deactivated since July of last year due to low rating. I got randomly activated with no notice last week. Anyone know why and how? I don't want to ask uber themselves or maybe they'll deactivate me again. 😊
They are heavily recruiting right now.
Fu Uber. They advertise $17 per hour during peak in Houston area. That’s not minimum wage after expenses. How does anyone do this anymore?
My best weapon of Defense is cherry picking cherry picking cherry picking
Uber on both verticals tends to pay the best with the least penalties. I do a lot of deliveries and rides in Phoenix. The Uber app and AI suite is the most accurate compared to DD and Lyft even. Like AI for driver retention there are many variables - economic for the driver being critical
Dude. It's one thing to listen to the deceptive and manipulative metrics but, without really diving into the truth, you're ultimately trading UA-cam revenue for soft enabling these companies in their deception. Please dig deeper into what you know is is reality. Thanks 🙏🏾
Well, I've been doing Uber Eats an uber drive for 2 years period I personally only have a window of 5 to 6 hours a day cause I helped take care of my father period I almost take every ride, I don't really look at what it pays me. I'm just grateful because I have to work. It gives me the flexibility to take care of my dad period I don't know all this language that you're speaking but as far as somebody like. Period I had to get the proper insurance. I think if every Uber driver actually got the proper insurance game over it would change everything. My insurance went up double. I'm a great driver. No accident snow tickets in my insurance went Up 22 hundred and eighty dollars and I have no accidents and no tickets period I think if every uber driver really got the proper insurance they would probably not do this cause if financially it would not be worth it period
This is all BS I've been driving Uber for years and the last month they've dropped down to where I go 4 and 5 hours in the Seattle area without one offer coming in, and if you do get an offer and you go to pick up the restaurant? There's 4 or 5 non English-speaking. Latin Americans waiting there for orders, so they're hiring illegals to drive.😮
Same in Chicago - they use fake accounts and run cars 24 hours a day ... totally kiled the market
Uber Eats
I can’t wait to stop working “for” these companies.
I find it odd that DoorDash accepted me as a convicted felon but Uber didn’t 🤔 any idea why?
Different platforms
Both of them accepted me
@@LilJrich really
All of these independent contractor gig companies have thier own criteria when it comes to considering who they accept as drivers. Could be cause DD only deals with food delivery and shopping but Uber also deals with passengers, so thier criteria may be a bit stricter.
It's because doordash accepts everyone no matter what. I doubt they even actually do the background check.
I think people are getting desperate as the economy gets worse.
☝️😂 Uber Drivers striking for only 1 day won't change anything for them. What positive effective changes ever happen without consistent prolonged sacrifices?🤔
I don't like a i
I don’t believe a dam thing that comes out of daras mouth. I wouldn’t be surprised if the books have been cooked.
I found this video very stupid and misleading, the retention and spending more hours on the platform is simply because uber has lowered prices so much that the driver needs to drive 10 hours instead of 6 for the same earnings. reason for that are upfront fares and sometimes over 50% commission that uber takes from drivers. Better delete this video
Waste of time a joke
