Uber driver training video for $600 a week.
• Uber Driver Training V...
Learn the Top 10 reasons Uber drivers are failing on the Rideshare platform every week. I have been having success as an Uber business owner for over 2 years making a 6-figure income.
Over those years I have spoken to 1,000's of drivers nationwide. those conversations have allowed me to compile extensive knowledge of what's working and what is NOT working to be successful.
In this video, I have compiled a list of the top 10 things that are causing driver-partners to fail.
Bro to be honest, your videos are so filled with knowledge and inspiration that I feel like you're underrated! Like this video in itself has so much knowledge that it can drive any Uber driver to success. Keep up the good work man and thanks for providing such wealth of knowledge!
Jeffrey De Los Santos Absolutely mind blowing.
A business owner that can be fired the first time someone files a false report to get a free ride. The court also ruled that Uber in fact is a transportation company.
You cannot be FIRED, you don't work for Uber. They can ONLY end your partnership.
Ending your partnership means you cannot work for them anymore. No referrals, no trips, and no payments from Uber. FIRED as in the Uber company will no longer pay you. Fired from Uber!
Good content bro. You’re definitely preaching facts. I’m gonna take your advice 💯
Semantics do not change the reality that our source of income is being terminated. @@TheSimpleDriver
You also don't get to control your prices. Essentially, what Uber and Lyft have both done, is created technology that allows them to "employ" laborers without calling them "laborers". In this way they can rake in profits without the typical expenses that comes with having employees. Things like health care and life insurance, unemployment insurance, etc. Genius on their part. Screwy for us drivers. If I paid out of pocket for health alone, I'd be making slave wages if I just drove and did nothing else. That being said, if you do hustle, you can turn the tide in your favor. I just watched a vid that pointed out at least 3 or 4 companies that pay you to use their services during your rideshare business. Car advertising, snack services, product marketing. There's even one that pays you to use their music service. Bottom line, there's going to be negative Nancy's that are too lazy to hustle. That's fine. That's their choice, but those willing to put in the effort can make this work for them. Ya just gotta stay hungry and go put that food on your table. No one is going to do that for you. It's called personal responsibility and many people are seriously lacking it.
Every year the pay is getting lower and lower
How many streams of income are you taking advantage of? Have you watched this video explaining them? ua-cam.com/video/SGRIQHkvH3Q/v-deo.html
@@TheSimpleDriver the only ones that are benefiting from Uber and Lyft are the CEOs of the company making money off of you the driver who is wearing out his vehicle who is taking all the expenses paying insurance putting gas in the car maintenance in the end you don't make shit not only that when you are picking up strangers you never know what the hell they might try and do to you. Today was my last day I am done with this BS I'm taking the apps off my phone this is nothing but a big Ponzi scheme
The problem with Uber and Lyft sir the pay sucks!!!! you are a slave to a rich company like uber and Lyft they take advantage of people for scratch ticket money this job is a joke it's not worth it it's not worth wearing out your vehicle.you're a business owner give me a goddamn break Uber and Lyft don't give a f*** about anybody except for you getting in your car and making them Rich who in the hell are you fooling man come on
I guarantee you Uber and Lyft are paying this guy for this videos people don't waste your time doing this you will be in The poor House with a broken down vehicle
Uber and Lyft the biggest Ponzi scheme ever created. As a driver you pay for insurance you pay for maintenance you take a chance driving with a stranger in your car let's say you're driving 8 hours a day you will eventually get a little fatigued which increases accidents if you get into accident do you think Uber or Lyft give a shit 😂 in the end you pay for all expenses while these fat cats CEOs sit in their million dollar Mansions collecting millions of dollars off of the backs of these poor drivers who take all the risk remember people Uber does not own shit !!! All they own is the app they do not own your car they actually don't have anything if all the drivers quit on them today they would go bankrupt. Take it from a driver who's been doing this for a while don't waste your fuckin time. Find a regular 8-hour day job where you don't have to wear out your vehicle I hope these bastards go out of business because they are nothing but more of more than a slave labor company
A very well made video! You must have put a lot of time into this. Excellent use of graphics! 👍
Thanks for the notice. Appreciate it.
I definitely notice when people put time and effort into their UA-cam videos! :)
The graphics help especially if the video runs a little longer.
Keep up the great work and have a good one!
Calvin thanks for your work. I started in Dallas, but drive in D.C., (presently been driving 4+ years with 11,400+ rides). Drive a little 2015 Honda Civic. With the bonuses offered in this market I can make between $800 and $900 per week driving about a combined 30-36 hours total Monday thru Thursday. I don’t have to drive on the weekends if I don’t want to, but I do.
My big take away from this video:
1.) Utilize the referrals (I’ll watch your vid)
2.) Set up a website
3.) Set up an LLC
You definitely have me thinking hard about saving cash to invest in Uber when they go public.
Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this information. Stay blessed!!
You get what you give...
Treat this as a business, conduct yourself as a professional and show that you care for your riders.
3 years now with Uber and 8 thousand trips.
On a bad day, the money is good.
Most days it's great.
That's after all expenses.
Tax deductions and IRS mileage allotments have more than reimbursed me for wear and tear on my vehicle.
Anyone not making at least decent money on this platform need to re-evaluate how they are running their service.
Great video as usual Calvin!
Great comment William.
Where u drive? I drive in Portland money. And even after taxes and expenses on most nights I average $20/hour. Some bad night I drop down to like $12/13 an hour but still worth it
@@robert907 Pittsburgh, PA
A mid-size market.
Uber is robust here.
Lately more Lyft cars on the roads too.
I drive in Phoenix and I make about 20 an hour after manipulating the bars and drunk ppl and the airports at certain times
@@terrellewilliams2188 what is grubhub
Great content, love that you bring up points about the bigger picture beyond simply driving. Thanks!
Thanks for the advice fella, I just started my uber journey your video gave me some key insights.
25% cuts, thats why we failing. LOL
Booking Fees!
This is an eye opening video even for part time drivers like myself. Thank you for your information Calvin. God bless
It's not a business partnership. There's no bargaining. You're at the whim of Uber's decisions. If there was direct communication between a driver union and Uber, then I'd agree with you.
So tell me how much uber is paying you to be a "YES" man?? As a blackman i am very disgusted to see another neutered blackman. I worked IBM as an Lead Engineer for 15 yrs and I know when I am hearing an RETENTION spill! Bottom line is Uber needs to pay their drivers all the money they stole away while still taking same percentage. I respected you until this video!! So, question are you telling UBER what they need to do???????? PAY their drivers they money they stole.
@GuyanaSlim Congratulation my friend be truly prosperous and blessed
@GuyanaSlim What do you do?
He's the best yes man ive ever seen cant hate on that
Huh? Did you really watch and understand this video? This dude, Calvin, has a hustle. A good hustle. Income coming from multiple sources.
Moe Williams
What are you talking about? Did you even watch the video. Obviously not.
Thank you for this video. Opened up my eyes to some possibilities.
I guess you still have surge in Atlanta and they are paying more than $10 for referrals as well.
Referrals are based on cities and vary per. Referrals in Atlanta are only $50, some cities $10. Other cities $10-$500. This is where your website comes in to reach drivers nationwide. Sorry you thought that referrals are ONLY $10. THEY ARE NOT. As far as SURGES, who cares about them. It's why I created this video for creating your OWN waterholes. Please watch this video...ua-cam.com/video/XEDDPXyeDck/v-deo.html
In my city Toronto it is still $500 and in Brazil its booming like crazy now...
@@TheSimpleDriver I couldn't conscientiously refer someone to drive for Uber at this date. In the past certainly I could and I did. I have been in Executive Search and recruiting/staffing for more than 20 years. There is no industry in the United States that even comes close to matching the turnover of the Rideshare industry period. Lack of earnings is the overwhelming factor, they have burned through millions and millions of drivers nationwide. Your smart to not drive any longer. At .64 cents per mile before they take their booking fee and percentage it is highly unlikely you could even break even after true expenses. Plus remember you will only get paid for the miles someone is actually in your car, which will probably account for less than half the miles you will drive depending on your market. Reality is you can not operate a car for 20-25 cents per mile. How anyone could consciously refer a driver that has a better than 99% of failure so you can earn $10-50 per refferal should spend some time in honest prayer.
Hey Calvin, I've been driving Uber for about 2 years off and on and on a part time basis here in ATL but I mostly drive in North Gwinnette, North Fulton, and Forsyth counties. I'm trying to start creating UA-cam videos. Do you have any tips on equipment needed and software to create intros to my videos? I have a great video editing software but it does not have built in tools to created a decent intro.
Appreciate the video...I’ need to know where to start. New to driving and money is tight...as a business woman start where...Llc inc S or C Corp..?
Keep up the great work! I’ve been driving for a couple years now myself and I’ve shared your information to several of my passengers regarding your information! Look forward to gaining more knowledge from you!
Great video and awesome channel. Applying as an Uber driver at the moment and found this video in the nick of time too.
I’ll be sure to start implementing these strategies with it
Hi Calvin I always like your positive outlook, great ideas and excellent video's that's why I subscribed to your channel after watching one of your videos over a year ago! I do have one question about promoting the Uber referral code. A few months ago I received an updated terms of service notice from Uber that they no longer allow the open sharing of referral codes on social media, referral code links in the video descriptions, video thumbnails, in on business cards and other items to give to the general public! Can you clarify how you can share these Uber referral codes and not be in violation of Ubers most recent updated terms of service policies prohibiting this? Thanks in advance. Dave E
Great video. Subscribed. Best instruction for new drivers I've seen yet (been driving a month)
Excellent.Thank you Sir!
Thanks for the information I appreciate you , blessings
Calvin, your information and perspectives on owning and operating a successful business surrounding the rideshare industry is AWESOME. I would love to connect with you on a ZOOM or Hangout to talk about your coaching and biz in general. Have a Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁😎
Wow!!! Thanks Calvin. Inspiring!
Great video Calvin. Thanks for posting that and sharing the information with others, to help them become more successful as an entrepreneur/business owner. Too many people look at it as a job and don't treat it as a business and this makes a difference to the success and profitability of being an Uber driver.
I am new to driving for Uber. Your videos give me a wealth of insight and really make me think. THANK YOU!!
I'm so pumped up right now, keep talking. 🔥💰
At 6:32 I'm glad you brought that up because with the new Technology company, Tryp, it brings over a next level business owner model. Most people aint ready to boss up like that. That's why most spread a lil hate on it. But wait until it flourishes 😉
My friend. You're from another planet. I admire the time you spent researching, your vast knowledge of what business and marketing is and the simplicity of your explanation, verbally and graphically;, so everyone could understand it and grasp the valuable info you're providing and, as my self, start doing something about it or just fail. Thank you. Only cons: Referrals are no longer profitable.
Thanks for commenting Jay. Referrals are definitely still profitable. They are still $10-$500 nationwide. Why do you believe that they are no longer profitable?
@@TheSimpleDriver Not at least in my market, where referrals have dropped to $10.00 bucks. Thank you.
Love the video. I began driving a few months ago as an alternative to working a 9 to 5 that was a net negative in my life. I am happy to say I am succeeding in many ways you mentioned but I need to figure out my greater goals and exit strategy. I’m talking to most of my riders for inspiration. And I even survived my first vomit night with minimal downtime and frustration. Thanks for all the videos!
Nothing short of brilliant. From content to delivery. Getting my plan together and found this not only informative but affirming I'm on the right path, as I start driving next month. I found the time vs money particularly interesting. Do you have any more videos on that?
Great info! Thanks 🙏
Thank you for the wonderful and inspiring video!
Excellent information and free game! Even in 2020. Thank you for the advice.
Fantastic. Video.thanks for your help and passion :)
Thanks Tamera.
So Happy To See That You Are Still Making Videos!❤👍🏽❤🤜🏽❤👏🏾
thank you!!! what do you suggest I say on my first day, week month?
Very good video! Great timing!!!! Love the motivation man!!!!! Merry christmas!!!
Thanks.
I see that you stay in Atlanta, Ga. I'm going to be moving there soon. So one question, do you know if I have to have a George license plate when transfering from the state I'm in now to Georgia? Or are you aware of the process?
I missed ur great info and content!!!!! Mr. Kelvin where have you been?
Calvin, thank you for the video. You are right, there is a plethora of negativity in and throughout other Uber videos. This was very helpful and refreshing as I am planning on using uber as a supplemental income source going into 2019. Looking forward to checking out other videos on your channel!
Dear Simple Driver, I hate to be on the opposite side of any UBER discussion to you. However, I find myself excitedly putting up my hands to raise what I believe is a fair objection to your point as to "why" drivers may choose to work with UBER.
So much of what you said may be true and correct for UBER in America but I can tell you that UBER UK is a scam, and UBER knows that.
I remember taking up the subject with a couple of advisers at my local Greenhub and all they had to say was "well, it's not profitable for most drivers because of local rules."
And, why over-regulation by the local licencing authorities may mean that drivers have to shell out so much money in fees just to get licenced, first as a driver and, yet more expenses to get one's vehicle licenced, you might be tempred to think that UBER will reflect these driver's expenses in the charges to passengers, as one way to help drivers recoup some of their expanses but you would be wrong !
UBER simply takes you on and finds you passengers at the lowest fares. So, while passengers may think UBER is a fantastic service, the drivers, on the other hand, have to take on second jobs or quit UBER altogether if they are to make ends meet. I know that because I have had to quit the so-called partnership.
UBER may work well in the US, where you can literally buy a car and take it to your local Greenhub for registration right after which you may literally start earning !
Licencing by my local authority costs more than $600 with an additional $250+ to have my car plated with a taxi registration. Yet, for all that, base rate in my locality is under $2 . Yes, drivers pick up riders here and spend about 25 -30 minutes on a job (total time to pick up and drop off) and end up with less than $5. Therefore, in a hour, you may be lucky to earn $10 before costs to driver and other deductions. Not forgetting that the same driver may have had to take out some financing to purchase the car, in the first place, since you are not allowed to register vehicles that are more than 5 years old.
My point is that this video may be helpful to drivers in America but it offers absolutely nothing to UBER drivers, here in the UK.
Let's face it, companies like UBER are thriving today because the can get away with a lot of the anti-labour practices that yield them unbelievable profits.
I am only giving a summary of our conversation but it was made clear to me that over-regulation by local authorities, here in the UK, are the reasons why drivers are unhappy with UBER UK
I cannot
Uyi Osa Good point bro. I am in the uk 🇬🇧 as well. Nottingham. What local council are you controlled by? Respect
It's a scam here in America too and they all know it Uber and Lyft I hope they go out of business for taking advantage of hard-working people and paying them pennies on the dollar
You have a gift. I just started watching your videos and visited your website. Very well thought out information laid out that can be used in many different platforms. I applaud you.
Thanks Oscar.
Thank you so much. Lots of information!!
You are welcome.
Thanks calvin, very smart and blessed man. Quick question: how should I use a website, i am not very tech. I am however a good salesman and preferer recruit face to face. Should I invest in business card with my code on it thanks?
Oh and by the way the ONE reallly great message you had was concerning the EXIT PLAN which I was well aware of a couple of years ago when I started driving. I used the downtime between rides to further educate myself and start a new career.
I mostly pick up people from bars. So, I googled, yelped, etc. to determine the most popular bars and clubs. I made a list of 60 bars (could have been larger). I then googled each individual bar (still not complete) and created a chart that shows their open hours, busiest hours (particularly the times after their peak hour, as that's when the most ppl are leaving) as well as happy hours and ladies nights. I then make maps for each night of the week. I laminated all of these before writing anything in sharpies so it can be updated as sometimes bars close down for good. Since the bars are numbered, I plot them on the maps. Each night will have numbers plotted at their locations with best hours to be there based on when people leave the most. Using this, I can, at any given hour of the night know which bars I should be at AND which ones are closest to my current location. A fare takes me far from one bar? No problem, which one that's good at this hour is closest? All right, I'll go there. I did have lengthy car problems after making the lists and maps. I'll be putting it to the test soon. Also, idk about Uber, but another youtuber advised that if you take pics of vomit in your car from fares, Lyft with reimburse you 150-250 cleaning fee. If you're great at cleaning like I am, vomit in your car could be your best friend during a Lyft.
Calvin, what do you think about the new rideshare company's business model called TRYP?
Het Marco, never heard of it. Let me research.
That was literally the business model I had for my rideshare startup couple months ago. It's a great concept, but they will fail bcz they have no strategy to convince the user to leave uber and lyft...Tesla have already won the rideshare battle without even starting and Tryp will disappear quick.
To be honest I think any other rideshare platforms coming up should increase the fare ride instead of decreasing it, and solely focus on the drivers instead of the passenger...
Imagine a new app where drivers make more, offers same features as uber and lyft and most drivers would use it instead of uber/Lyft... The customer will have no choice but to follow bcz that is where the rides are available ...My vision is to help drivers make more money and purchase a self driving car that will continue to pay them without them being in the car... They deserve it, the rideshare +$120B industry was founded on their back, credit, and health...
Due to lake of funding I had to slow down on it, and focus instead on educating drivers how to make a profitable business for themselves while driving for uber/Lyft within 6 months... At the moment that is the best way I can use my time and resources to help drivers...
@@TheSimpleDriver awesome, thanks. I can't wait to hear your take.
Man I’m feeling this video. I’m going to UBEr and Lyft my way out of debt and chuck my dueces and get back to photography once I retire from the army and get both my retirement and V.A disability. I’m going to strengthen my two sources of income.
Referrals here in Orlando are just $25, and we have too many drivers along with just getting .53 cents a mile. It’s hard to remain positive but good video. Much love.
Calvin, good to see you back with another video and love #2 on having a big why! I'd say education for your kids is as big as it gets.
Thanks Harry. Yeah, #2 was major for me brother. Thanks for tuning in. You are one of the best to EVER do it!
I love this video. Really gets me thinking. I have been driving for Uber and Lyft for a year and a half. I feel like most of these commenters have not watched the video and truly listened to the content. I have been looking at it wrong. I have not been consistent with driving. I have been wanting to create content on UA-cam and push Uber sign up codes more. Thank you for the insight and motivation.
I will be checking out some other videos. Going to set up a Uber website. Look for the exit strategy. I have some other ideas along with it.
Do you have a video for recommendations of how to use your tip money? Or how I should view tips. Should they go into the overall income?
Going pubic in 2019, along with Lyft. Good point about "why" I am driving for Lyft (kinda the same!). Never the less, I need the extra money to SURVIVE! If I wasn't driving, I would literally be homeless, moreover I like owning my own business and setting my own direction.
My company is currently "sole proprietor," though in 2019, I convert it to an LLC. There were too many expenses all at once in 12/2018. Needless to say, you are absolutely right about keeping business expenses separate. That part, for me, at least is done. I do have a business account. It'll be closed in November, and reopened under the LLC.
Your video was really well done. The word you were looking for was "reconnoiter," eg. "Recon."
Oh yeah . . . Why some people (Mr. Williams) feel the video is invalid is beyond me.
Thanks for the info i just started uber in how do i do my LLC THIS IS NEW TO ME N THANKS AGAIN IM in Philadelphia i want to learn u r god sent thanks AGAIN.
Salude from OKC, OK. Ive been with uber for nearly 2 years. Its an experiance everytime you drive with uber. Thanks for all your information and advise. This is really very helpful. Through visiting throug utube and looking at others I have gone to use Uber for financial goals and help. Keep doing what your are doing. I do appreciate what you are doing. Keep up the good work.
Great information and excellent presentation!
You are a fantastic teacher thank you sir.
Good content as always.
Valids points
Thanks sir!
Wow! A wealth of knowledge! Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I have been struggling with my EXIT strategy. Been driving for 3 years. Watched previous videos and really jumped started my strategic driving.
Calvin, I have followed your advice and set up an LLC, in addition to a Business checking account. The GoDaddy set up of my web site is still under construction. I just struggle with seeing and experiencing the Big Picture aka Exit Strategy. Right now I am having a difficult time with my Commercial Insurance being able to cover more than Uber/Lyft, since I have clients to drive that do not use Uber/Lyft but rather prefer my services. Can you assist?
I'm going to do a video regarding Referrals and an Exit strategy.
Thank you! Just got all set up over the past 3 days with Uber and Lyft. Starting on Monday... My WHY is not money related... but very big. Thank you for encouraging the thought process. Grateful. God bless you.
You are welcome.
Appreciate you Calvin! Been watching you for 2 years!
Glad to have you here Matt.
Great Video!
I have created a website, a UA-cam channel, and turned it into a startup company all that while driving... The simple driver was the first one who opened my mind into this possibility...
And now after studying the rideshare industry for a full year, I have tons of innovative ideas that I have tested on people getting in my car...
I also found 2 ways to really help drivers... And will soon address them on my other channel "JC TheBlackGuy"
I still don't like your latest sponsored video but I do appreciate all the work and knowledge you share.
Thank you
I love content like this. Someone telling me that I helped them and still be able to say I disagree with some things. That's totally fair and creates a healthy conversation. I'm glad I am helping and I appreciate your honesty. I look forward to watching your content.
@@TheSimpleDriver thank you sir learning from the best... And if you see my website vazyride.Com you'll notice it's exactly your theme on WordPress...
I've also got paid $500 from one ride because I help a hair stylist doing her website using the same theme watching your step by step video on it...
I took your teaching a step further, I'm learning now skills that I can easily charge 2k for it, and still use uber to get customers...
@@TheSimpleDriver 😉👍🏿
Same here uberman got me into the game but calvin showed me how to work smart
@@ridesharecanada9148 greetings fellow Canadian
Spoke to my insurance company, progressive . They do not have any rideshare coverage. I would have to cancel my insurance policy and find a company that can cover me for personal and rideshare. So far no luck! I will not drive til I can find a company who will provide me complete coverage including rideshare. The risk is too great otherwise. Not gonna sell my soul for extra pocket money. To help everyone maybe you /or Uber can help us find an insurance company so that we can drive with peace of mind knowing that we drivers and our customers are covered in case of an accident. That's all that preventing me from starting to drive.
Thanks for all the information Calvin. I'm joining uber soon and i have an exit plan but your video helped discover how to make more so i can exit faster!!!!
Great video!! Just like all of your videos very POSITIVE!!!! One of the most Powerful and important points you made in this video is get away from the NEGATIVE!!! GREAT INFORMATION!! Thank You!!
Thanks for watching and commenting Kane.
As always Calvin, DOPE!
Great video. It is much appreciated.
You are welcome.
Do you think drivers should list rideshare as a primary use of their vehicle? I told my insurance agent I drive for Lyft. My insurance went up over $100. I complained through Emails and we're about to be offered insurance through Geico under Lyft.
Should drivers be honest with their agent?
Hey uber sent out an email to drivers like 2-3 months ago changing the referral code program. Uber said you can no longer post your referral code on social media, UA-cam videos, and websites. Uber said you can only use your referral code to refer people you actually know like your brother or a co-worker. Uber can now deactivate your driver account for using your referral code like that. It was a great idea before but uber stopped it they even said they can take back all of your previous referral money. Smh damn you uber.
Good stuff man I'm a uber driver in yakima Washington small town thanks for video
Good morning Calvin. i have indeed been blessed since i started following your channel. i just signed up for Uber and will start driving this weekend. i will love to have a one on one chat with you. Thanks so much and God bless you as always. Brian.
How is it going
Hello Calvin, I have been an Uber Driver Partner for 7 months now and didn't know any of these 10 Reasons. ....wow! Very shocking and informative. Thanks, appreciate it! 🙂
This might be a silly question but how can you promote your referral code on social without getting penalized?
Only on Facebook and Twitter using the link they generate for you inside of your Driver Account. They actually give you a link generated from THEIR platform. Login and see...
Calvin,
I would like to share some information with you but not sure if I should do it here. How can I contact you?
Thanks. Belinda
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.
Great motivational content!!!!!
Hey, I had watched your previous videos on the website and I felt that Uber sent us (drivers) new T&Cs regarding just putting your signup code on random websites??? If this is not true, can any driver confirm?
I appreciate the content because I have been driving Uber for two months. I also have been driving lyft as well. I believe this strategy has helped me to take things to the next step.
Congrats William. Glad I could help.
I have been driving lyft for a year and two months, Uber, UberEats, and DoorDash for two months.
How do I start to do more referrals so I can limit my driving so I can make more money?
Six figures? That's dope! I might need some mentoring :)
Do you think its still worth driving uber since they changed the surge to less money????? Whats your thoughts?
Great job Sir.
Hey. I wanted to start and become a uber driver. But my problem is i dont know anything about cars and mileages. Can you help me with that?
I have those spots on lock,and more money are being more now in the winter, than the summer, but my ratings are falling and I have no idea what's going on because I can't see the complaints that are being bestowed upon me, and don't know if people that you cancel on that aren't where they're supposed to be have any rating abilities to because they were canceled on and waiting for more than 5 minutes, do these people that you cancel on have the ability to rate you and if so why is that an option why is that there if it is?
How can you make being a driver a LLC and does the name you choose for that LLC need to include the Uber name?
Can you tell me more about how to create an LLC? I already have a business account. I’m not sure I understand the LLC. Do you take on mentees? Or can you mentor a newbie? How do I contact you?
Hey Chinna, I'm too busy to mentor individuals at this time. However, I will ask you to research these questions right here on UA-cam. You will get plenty of content from people who have uploaded.
I am a public speaker and I am impressed with your message and your delivery. The negative comments you get (102 thumbs down?) are from people that don't understand the message about the business beyond the driver's seat. Thank you for the thought and time you invest in these UA-cams. FYI, I used your referral code for Uber and just completed my 1st day driving yesterday. Good software resulted in a smooth process. Now I have to work on that "strategy" section to produce some meaningful dollars. Thanks again for your efforts.
I love your positivity man. But I just don't have the hustlers mentality to maintain any of your strategies long term. Lack of Hopes nd dreams doesn't help. But I'm going to try again in the New Year. Get the quick books running. Not sure what the point of the LLC is but I'll check more of your videos for that.
Funny. I subscribed to yoir channel in the summer and I never get a notification when you post. Meanwhile, you tube beeps my phone at least once a week with a video from the rideshare guy. I much prefer your positivity to his negativity. So keep up the good work. And I'll keep in touch. Thx.
When are you going to upload videos on your other channel "Power of Publish"?
Soon, I have been busy building up my wife's company. 2019 will be loaded with videos on that channel. Stay tuned :-)
@@TheSimpleDriver I am tuned waiting for it... But in the mist of waiting I went ahead and learned editing, filming and lot more... Still looking to learn more tips from your channel, but I have definitely see the power of Publishing... And will be strategize all around publishing content... Because it's really powerful...
How can we advertise referral codes if Uber no longer allows publishing them?

I believe the California Supreme Court would disagree with you. They are not a technology company. I think this will go to Federal court and Uber (and Lyft) will lose as will all the other Gig Economy Apps. The IRS needs to create a new classification for this type of business, we are not employees and are not independent contractors. Somewhere in the middle. Until that is fixed, it will be a major problem.
Until that happens (If it EVER does), they are a multi-billion dollar TECH company operating in a NEW business model called Ridesharing.
The Simple Driver respectfully I have to disagree. these companies are trying to hide under the claims that they are TECH companies to avoid having to abide by labor laws, avoiding things like minimum wage requirements, unemployment coverage and wrongful termination. One could argue that Uber since they have multiple platforms could be a TECH company, however you can’t say that for companies like Lyft or Grubhub or Caviar. Their primary source of revenue is related to that particular business. I don’t think any Uber driver WANTS to be an employee, they don’t want to punch a time clock or wear a uniform, however they should be allowed to negotiate rates and the contract. My entire point of this is that there needs to be a new classification for these types of jobs, they do not meet the criteria of either an employee or a contractor. I believe that would solve what could potentially be a massive legal battle.
@@benvernick Very healthy comment. There are strengths to both sides of this conversation. I'm just focusing on the fact that they are in a leading position to capitalize on the future of autonomous driving with there extensive DATA on navigation, customer base, and GPS coordinates. There is a BIGGER picture that will be unrevealed. I can't say much more because I could be held liable. Just know that there is a MAJOR shift coming within' the next 3-5 years.
The Simple Driver agreed its the elephant in the room that no one wants to discuss. And yep shit is going to hit the fan when autonomous vehicles arrive. I read an analyst report that unemployment rate could skyrocket to over 20% when that happens. It affects everyone (truckers especially). To put that into perspective the unemployment rate was 24% at the height of the Great Depression. I sincerely hope that our elected officials are discussing this. I am genuinely concerned for people that rely solely on Rideshare for their only source of income.. It’s going to be a scary time when that happens. Can’t stop progress....
@@benvernick what do you mean by autonomous vehicles?
I am a driver business owner. I have a comment about the referral codes. Many drivers believe that by referring new drivers in, they are shooting themselves in the foot by creating more competition for rides. Overabundance of cars on the road congesting the traffic, creating problems including drivers sitting in traffic unpaid, has also been an issue recently in many cities. What is your opinion on this?
At six minutes..i love it, what is your WHY??
HI Calvin! You brought up good points in this video. Can you please discuss in as much detail as possible the Insurance issues. Uber has it's own insurance company certificate, but the real issue is our personal insurance. We literally have to sneak around and drive on the DL hoping we dont have an incident or accident. Drivers stand the risk of losing their insurance. Am I correct or is there another angle that I'm not seeing? I've read reviews that stated that Uber Insurance coverage isnt all that. Can we be held personally accountable? I feel all the drivers need definitive information, (maybe a printable pdf?) answers about this issue. Not trying to cast negativity on the things, just being realistic. We stand to lose big time if our ins company finds out. If not you, how do we get info regarding this matter? Is there a link or a contact? Thanks in advance!
