From dealing with heavy traffic and unexpected road closures to managing surge pricing during peak hours, I'll provide valuable insights and strategies that every Uber driver can benefit from.

    Nice video, couple of tips from an ex full timer, before the car starts moving, always confirm the location you're going to, I've had numerous times where the pax THOUGHT they put something else in, but the app had a difference address, it takes 5 seconds and saves potential headache. Also don't call until absolutely necessary, lots of pax dislike being called.

    Idk how you can do it man, Uber/Lift just seems so sketchy to me. I've always just stuck with DoorDash/UberEats Side note... Alabama has alot of places with Gate Codes, I had never experiences this before coming from Portland OR. Gate Codes are THE WORST.

    Was just in Vegas for the 4th and was talking to the Uber drivers as much as I could being that I might make the move from Cali to Vegas and making to move from trucking to Uber. One told me he made 7-8k a month there and the next Uber guy called him lazy 😆 he reached into the glove compartment and showed me his 1099 134k last year 😳

      Oh cool! I probably looked at a dozen places before I found mine. I guess it depends how close to the strip you want to be. Personally I like living away from the strip. I like Henderson, Spring Valley, Enterprise and Summerlin. Keep hunting for a good deal and visit their websites they may offer a special move-in price for the first 6-12 months. 👍

    hey blake, i see you accept basically all rides that gets you over $15 no matter the distance. Isn't it more profitable to drive on the strip/airport short rides for the same amount during peak hours? I drive 100 miles per shift and make $200+ in 6 hours picking rides on the strip during surge times. I dunno if it is worth doing those long rides for such a small amount? I dunno maybe im doin something wrong
