This video follows an Uber driver in Las Vegas for a day, revealing the realities and challenges of the job. The driver starts his shift in the afternoon, dealing with issues like a wet car seat and a malfunctioning GoPro. Throughout the day, he picks up various passengers, including drunk customers, and navigates the city using Uber's sometimes inefficient navigation system. The video exposes the unpredictability of ride requests, with some offering low pay for long distances. Despite the inconsistency, the driver earned $106 by around 8pm. He continues driving late into the night, battling fatigue and frustrating traffic to complete rides, even detouring to grab fast food before finally calling it quits at 11pm. The video highlights the long hours, variable earnings, and customer service challenges that Uber drivers face daily.
Fatique solution - sleep 8 hours a day , take two cups of Folgers coffee and stay awake for 12 to 14 hours. Take two servings of pre work and bcaa. Bring lunch. Stay awake for 14-18 long enough to do Uber 12 hours per day.
$18 for 30 miles is common in the San Francisco Bay area. It doesn't even matter what you choose to take... the algorithms will NOT pay you more than $20/25 hourly at the end of the day! Occasionally they will pay you $30hr but very rare and limited. Oftentimes the pay is less than $20hr
get a few drops of detergent mixed with water, soak the seat, use a brush if you want, then use a towel to soak up as much moisture as possible, cover it in baking soda for 12-24 hours, then vacuum it out. worked for urine :) should work for coffee or whatever you had there.
Piss on my seat I'll see and sue the passenger personally in small claims court for damages, lost income, diminishing vale, and ask the judge for punitive da mm ages. Do the same me for defamation and loss of income for false complaints, and false deactivationss from customers who lie... 14,000 rides. 5.0 Stars - No prisoners and no excuses.
As a taxi driver, yes, but as an Uber driver, not likely. Uber can and will deactivate you for any reason at all, even if you aren't to blame! It happens all the time!
After watching the video, you have it good in Vegas! In California the food is way more expensive, most customers don't tip, and the fares here pay less for more work!
Omg, I'm addicted to your videos. I'm in the process of moving to Vegas in a few months and driving with you helps me familiarize myself with the areas. 😊
Hey Blake, enjoy your vids. I notice you take a lot of high mileage rides going all corners of Vegas metro. Any reason why you don't stay in the strip area? You would make much more with at least $2/mile, especially on weekends. Ive been driving for about 2 years in Vegas and f-ing Uber algo will try to drag you all around Vegas if you let it. Just my 2 cents, thanks
Hey thanks for watching! I'm still learning my way around Vegas. And to be honest the strip traffic stresses me out sometimes. I might actually try to stay at the strip for a video and see how I like it.
Wrong title...should be "How much do Uber X, Uber, Comfort, Uber Green, and Uber XL drivers LOSE?" BLAKE! Remember a long time ago I told you to start driving uber black ??? I hope you're making a ton of money on this channel because if you're still driving anything less than uber black in vegas, you're leaving tons of money on the table
Yeah exactly! I'd probably lean more toward (Comfort, Comfort Electric, Premier, Platinum) I need to see how much more I'd make and if it's worth upgrading my car.
@daniellamon8875 I personally never drove in Vegas, but obviously you need a black. S u v to get all the big bucks! I have no idea where to drive but I imagine all around is going to keep you busy. Everybody's going to and from the Airport to ALL the hotels. And everything in between.
I’m amazed how much the fare is in your city. Here in Cleveland I’ll get basically a dollar a mile. But I’ve had rides to the airport that’s 20 miles away and get paid $13!
I lived in a small town in Indiana before moving out here and it usually paid under a $1 per mile. Vegas is much better, I hear Los Angeles and New York pays the most.
I can't believe the jerks you have to deal with to earn "peanuts." Honestly, between insurance, licensing and car maintenance, I would think you would lose money (or barely make any).
first time here good video editing but in the end you didn't do the break down how many hours you worked and how many miles u drove that will be very helpful. keep up the good job
I for sure would've thought you made more. I just started UberEATS (no rideshare) and made $120 last night in 4hrs and that's with a lot of wasted time on the backend. Im going to watch more of your vids. I'm debating if i want to do rideshare. My social battery was running low just watching this. Also, why are the tips only $6? No way that can be correct. I know with UE the tip will appear an hour after the delivery end.
Wanna hear a funny story? I pick up someone a couple weeks ago, his name was Moses and I dropped him off at the Luxor. LOL 😆😆 And the other day, there was a rider name Himmler and wanted to to drop him off at Einstein Bagels. 🤣🤣🤣
Buddy, that’s ridiculous. Get everybody to go on strike Uber stop paying more slavery was in the past. I’m from Dallas and I’m talking to every driver to go on strike. Does SOB will pay more. I guarantee you what you end up making $.50 a mile minus your time minus the maintenance minus the fuel you paid for your car so you made $166 you take $36 so you make $129, you paid for maintenance about $.20 a mile that’s another -$60 for 350 mile so you make five dollars an hour minus your insurance that’s ridiculous wake up
Hello BLAKE what you think for start Uber in Las Vegas is better rent car by Uber app … and how much cost the Business license … thanks and have good trip
Thank you! It’s always going to be less when you buy your own car as long as your credit is good. I haven’t rented a car through Uber before but I know it’s expensive. The Clark County business license is around $200.
Thats really good! I work as an Uber Eats delivery driver. I make only about 20$AUD per hour; have to work for about 8-9hrs per day to get close to 160$ If I convert the dollar then its 244$ in 6 hrs thats like unimaginable for me. It is not challenging if you are having fun while doing it! But it is not consistent and very much unreliable for me atleast
You take share rides? NO NEVER uh no ... my last share ride 2 opposing gang members got in and the pay was just as Trash as they are...NO NEVER EVER AGAIN! anyway, on your go pro do you use a chest mount? also, it is so busy out here, yes, I drive in Vegas also, does your car have Comfort option? I am going to start recording my days as I only do like 4 hrs. during the weeknights and 6 on the weekends. I like doing comfort/Black only as on Thursday for 2 hrs. I did $105.00. for 4 trips
Yeah I'm definitely not a fan of shared rides. I bought a chest mount, but haven't used it yet. I'm using the tripod/stick holder it came with. My 2017 Prius only qualifies for UberX unfortunately. I'm looking into Uber Comfort, Comfort Electric, Premier, Platinum with a Tesla Model Y. I only have 42,000 miles on the Prius and it's paid off so I'm sure if I want to get into another payment.
Thanks for sharing your experience, it’s useful those who wants to start this business, like me. Brother I have few question, how many hours you drive? How much you make a day or anyone who is new ? I am planning to start uber in Chicago is this good city ? Car is good or suv ? Sorry for too much questions. Thanks Drive safe
Thanks for watching! I usually work 4-5 hrs 3 days a week but I plan to drive more. Chicago’s a great city to drive in, 3rd largest in the country. If I had to guess I’d say you could make $200-$300 in 8 hrs easily. Personally I’d start with a car that gets good gas mileage since fuel will be one of your biggest expenses. Let me know how it goes and when you start your own UA-cam channel! Lol 😂
1:23 🤣
Please don't do that again!! I use my finger to press that button!!

Some passengers are just not fair imagine entering someone’s vehicle but can’t even say hello yet your life lies on the drivers hand
Happens all the time!
You get hired to drive, not too talk

People seem to be ignorant. Here in Brazil they at least say, morning, as much as they had a bad day
That’s it I’m going to Brazil 🇧🇷
@@BlakeDrivesREALLY? If come to brazil and pass by São Paulo lemme know i can show the city for you.
Considering the stuff that’s done there, that’s pretty amazing😂
Agreed I make more with food delivery
Who cares if they don't talk. Just get the money and go.
Omg, I'm addicted to your videos. I'm in the process of moving to Vegas in a few months and driving with you helps me familiarize myself with the areas. 😊
Thanks for watching! I’ve been in Vegas for a year and a half, and driving definitely helps me learn the areas for sure. Good luck with your move!
Hello I went to Las Vegas for my 21st birthday. I had lots of fun.
put damp rid in the car and it will get moisture out of the car

We don't get anything near a 1$ here in Toronto...and that's canadian dollars too.

Nope your wrong we make money
co rider added 😂 bro what are you doing?! you slippin
Love your content! 🚙 keep it up. It motivates us to get out there
Enough to live in a van down by the river
I really liked your video. You go stop by stop. I make the same amount of money doing 7 hours here in CT
cool video so intresing I respect ur work man
That they would name a totally nude strip joint "Little Darlings" is a bit disturbing.
I have the same cat as you, I would suggest you buy some seat covers for the front and back
Nice! Tuxedo cats are hilarious 😆 That’s a good call on the seat covers. I’m going to look into that.
first time here good video editing but in the end you didn't do the break down how many hours you worked and how many miles u drove that will be very helpful. keep up the good job
Thank you! I appreciate you watching! I was online for 6 hour and 48 minutes. And drove 175 miles.
Which time is the best to start driving? Thanks.
what camera do you use inside your car?
I for sure would've thought you made more. I just started UberEATS (no rideshare) and made $120 last night in 4hrs and that's with a lot of wasted time on the backend. Im going to watch more of your vids. I'm debating if i want to do rideshare. My social battery was running low just watching this.

Hm I make about 30$ an hour, in SF/Oak CA...

470 miles on a full tank with a Prius?
Uber drivers don’t make crap unless the company is regulated or drivers stop playing limbo with how low can you go fares
Depends what city you live in bro lol

Do u have to follow Uber directions after getting the ride
That is pretty cool that was on my birthday
Oh cool! Happy Birthday! 🎂🎁
you are spending almost 200 miles a day, which mean you are changing oil two times a month , which mean you are buying a new car in 3 years lol
How many trips can you cancel per day ?
Why is it nighttime in Las Vegas and then?
Hello BLAKE what you think for start Uber in Las Vegas is better rent car by Uber app … and how much cost the Business license … thanks and have good trip
Thank you! It’s always going to be less when you buy your own car as long as your credit is good. I haven’t rented a car through Uber before but I know it’s expensive. The Clark County business license is around $200.
Is that a Prius prime? I’ve been thinking about getting one
It's a 2017 Prius two. I thought about getting the Prius Prime, but it takes too long to charge and the range isn't great for the price.
Wat kind of go pro u got and dash cam
I’m using a GoPro 10 black and Vantrue E3
Thats really good! I work as an Uber Eats delivery driver.

biggest pet peeve is when drivers stop for gas during a trip.
Horrible rates only $1 per mile average, plus fuel , maintenance and food .this is Uber’s form of modern day slavery.
Did I miss something ? Still waiting on the part where he shows how much he made 🤔
This video has shown me that cherry picking isn't advantageous.
You take share rides? NO NEVER uh no ... my last share ride 2 opposing gang members got in and the pay was just as Trash as they are...NO NEVER EVER AGAIN!
anyway, on your go pro do you use a chest mount?
also, it is so busy out here, yes, I drive in Vegas also, does your car have Comfort option?
I am going to start recording my days as I only do like 4 hrs. during the weeknights and 6 on the weekends.
I like doing comfort/Black only as on Thursday for 2 hrs. I did $105.00. for 4 trips
Also, I bought the Vantue in the link from amazon it is an amazing dash cam.
Yeah I'm definitely not a fan of shared rides. I bought a chest mount, but haven't used it yet. I'm using the tripod/stick holder it came with. My 2017 Prius only qualifies for UberX unfortunately.

I m taking per mile 2 dollar. 1 dollar should be worst
Thanks for sharing your experience, it’s useful those who wants to start this business, like me.
Brother I have few question, how many hours you drive?
How much you make a day or anyone who is new ?
I am planning to start uber in Chicago is this good city ?
Car is good or suv ?
Sorry for too much questions.
Thanks

What year is your Prius ?
It's a 2017 package two. I just hit 44,000 miles
Shared ride? Does stop new request still work?
yezzir. i aint never pickup no 2nd riders. fuuuuuuck that.
Yeah I think that still works, maybe I’ll try that next time.
yes, but if you do it too many times you will be deplatformed.
I hate rudness. So bad. And you cant make okey money in San diego anymore. Struggle.
