Uber is sick to put this out there. I as a driver am seriously worried that I am going to crash any day now using this app. Theres way to many distractions on it. Im also worried that if I feel this way how many other drivers are going to get hurt. Especially with trips like this popping up. This is a distraction alone in itself to constantly watch out that were not being taken advantage of on each and every trip that gets sent our way. And now customers are getting so angry with all the constant pings and driving distractions that they are giving bad ratings. Just today I had someone say can you please turn that off its really annoying me. So I had to tell them sorry I forgot to hit the stop accepting new trips button when I started your ride.
There's always someone desperate and eager to take this kind of trip, which is why Uber feels emboldened to offer ridiculous fares-they know they'll find someone .
Funny thing is I know both of those areas. That part of lincolnton, nc is not a bad area to pickup on. Myrtle drop off is near the grandstand which this time of year is not too busy, but still. Add in if this trip were done today, it was pouring rain all day….it would be horrible
Uber getting crazier and crazier I bet they charged the customer $340 or more lol I tell you I got lucky the other week got a pickup with lyft from Summerville SC to Beaufort SC for $130 about 74 miles when I got there I was just gonna rideshare there then I got a $286 ride back to Summerville I was like wow looked what they charged the passenger was $473.99.
I have noticed that Uber is relying more and more on drivers calculating based on hourly wage. We are labeled as independant contractors, but bank on people that don't know how to measure checks and balances of a business. A lot of trips I see in Phoenix are regularly $22-$25/hr, BUT doing that equates close to 35-50 miles. This trip is doing the same, it's 4.5 hours BUT that's over $36/hr, disregarding time and mileage back home. Smoke and mirrors.
Do you see the “exclusive” tag next to Uber pet? Uber claims a flash promo of 40% savings to rider. The problem is that at times even when no promo is active, Uber still pays you as if the promo still going. They charge the passengers full price and pay the driver 40% less using that exclusive tag. I’ve got screenshots to prove Uber is ripping drivers up
I do Lyft 95% of the time because of area filters, not to mention Uber DF'S suck. When I do do Uber no trip over 25 miles. This is a 400 dollar trip and the driver better have 3 harbor freight moving blankets in the trunk. Don't know why they would even open Uber Pets on the app.
this trip should be at least double to even give it a consideration. But don't worry Uber will never be accountable now because now they have a Algorithm that they can blame every time and each time they are questioned.
Lincolnton Correctional Center. If this is an officer and their K9 then I'd expect an exceptionally well-trained animal. The problem lies with the 10 hours of driving for $16 per hour before expenses.
That's not the type of ride you take with a complete stranger, and their pet. That's the type of ride you do after converting someone to a private client, and know them well enough to be able to anticipate there should be no problems, and that you will be well paid for the ride.
On a positive note, the rider in this ride is rated a 5.0 😂 -wouldn’t be shocked if the pet is a Pitbull, named “Killa” …named after the rider’s street name. --question: What would be worse? Receiving $0.00 tip or a $1 dollar. What’s funny is that anyone who doesn’t accept garbage exclusive rides like this, gets their Acceptance rate reduced by 1% each ride now.. So I chose to🍒 pick.
I looked it up, it’s the Lincoln Correctional Center in North Carolina. Heading to SC. Is this a prison escapee you’re the getaway driver taking them across state lines? Drop off is right in the tourist area of Myrtle Beach by the motels. Very odd. Def no for me. Would love to hear from the driver who took the trip though.
But it's got 5% advantage! And it's 41 dollars per active hour! Seriously though, there is no pet, they just chose pet because it's the cheaper option.
I need ur help someone said I pull a gun and touch them tht is just outrageous.. I have a police report I also haven’t police officers number and card I have sent everything to Lyft and I am still banned I really did nothing
That trip should be at least $250 and it should come with a wear and tear on your vehicle and a gas card because reality probably going to have to put two to three times of gas you're going to need to put gas going over there and gas coming back😢 and whoever the driver is I hope you take some snacks with you😂
If you stay thinking and driving about that long trip what can happen with the passanger or the way back. This can be dangerous for penny. Never think and drive. If you are starting think while driving please leave this platform. A long trip could be dangerous. I feel sorry for the passanger that doesn't know for how long the drivers has been driving to pay your bill. That's not a joke! When the accident happen, the life is completely changed for the rest of your life or no more life. Also when you have stress that can cause you many diseases like back, legs, heart..... problems :( Some drivers are working 16 hours to get $25. Indeed have many jobs!
And you have approximately 6-9 seconds to do all the math in your head as well as to look for all the negatives.... I took a ride from the Boise airport to Sun valley ID, for 169.00 hoping that the rider would be generous with a large tip due to the long drive back... No tip!!!!!! I got screwed once again by Uber... Wouldn't surprise me if they took it.. No way to know..
Some kind of dogs 🐕 had bug 🐞 you will never going to remove it from you buddy or you clothes even if you buy new clothes so dangerous worst than bed bugs . Don’t get me wrong I love ❤️ dogs but some people they don’t take care of there dogs this why you end up getting those bugs in you ears hair everywhere .and you will stay itching all the time no doctor no medicine can help you with this specially when you pick up dogs or any pet you don’t know.
As soon as I see long trip by Uber I run away as fast as I could, try to send me 32 miles away paying me 20$, 50 minutes trip in rush hour, corporate greed has no bounds and limits!! Sucking on the blood & sweat of drivers, disgusting!!
8 Minutes pick up and four and a half hours to its destination! " And another five hours to get your butt home tired safe and sound, and of course barring any mechanical issues/accidents, plus Gas (if you still drive an internal combustion engine) hoping to get little rides along the way which will make you be back the next day. all for $168. should we go on? Okay I will "Oh driver my little baby needs breaks for walkies! it needs to pee and poop! and so do I! " Dog barking! 🤯 LMAO!
divide that by half because you have to return so you are now at about 18 an hr, then how much gas will it cost u. Generously speaking 20 mpg (cause this is the lowest fare im sure Uberx) so 440 miles for round trip (guessing 22+ gallons) not sure of price of gas in Ohio but Chicago its about 3.59 (about $80) for a 4 cyl cheapy car), in reality you car is earning about $90 for 9 hrs worth of work, someone smarter than me can calculate the depreciation of 440 miles. After all that your actual driving work has to be for free or way below min wage, if you dont believe me how much would you have to pay a driver for 9 hrs. Not only did you not make money on this trip, in actuality you came out negative for all the resources invested to do this trip, you devalued your car for zero gains.
I HAVE 2 UE ACCOUNTS....I WILL STEAL AN ORDER ON MY 1ST ACCOUNT...I THEN WAIT 30 MINUTES FOR OTHER DRIVERS TO ACCEPT AND CANCEL THE SAME ORDER....THEN I TURN ON MY 2ND PHONE/UE ACCOUNT AND ACCEPT THE SAME ORDER FOR $47...LEARN THE GAME LOSERS!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
8 hours total work time just in driving... so let's add stops and wait times. Easily 9 hours. 170.00 just to round up and see how crazy this is. Looking at maybe 19.00 an hour at best. 48 or 50 gallons in fuel. So you are filling up 2 or 3 times. At 4.00 a gallon. So 200.00 in fuel. You just paid Uber 30.00 to take some a$$hat 4 hours away with a stinking animal or animals... so worth it. I mean really can it get much worse before we have to prove drivers are SLAVES what part of contractors says you had a choice in the negotiation of goods and services!?!??! We need federal laws on gig economy. Only thing that would make this more obvious is if it was Uber Eats delivery. Where it would be 90.00 for 4 hour trip 1 way.
At the IRS rate of $0.67 a mile that trip will cost you $293.59 just in vehicle expenses.
The other stupidly laughable part of this is that they are calling it an exclusive ride. They forgot the word trash after the exclusive part of it.

Around trip is 35c/mille . After gas, it will be a free 4h ride.😂
I got a ride offer going 195 miles from SE Virginia to Carrollton GA. Uber offered me $159. I almost cried laughing.
There's always someone desperate and eager to take this kind of trip, which is why Uber feels emboldened to offer ridiculous fares-they know they'll find someone .
Lmao 🤣. Nobody took that. I wouldn’t do that for less than $2,000
Funny thing is I know both of those areas. That part of lincolnton, nc is not a bad area to pickup on. Myrtle drop off is near the grandstand which this time of year is not too busy, but still.
Add in if this trip were done today, it was pouring rain all day….it would be horrible
It's usually a girl with her daughter, visiting boyfriend/dad. They will file a complaint to get a free ride after the trip.
lyft n uber is over so over i wouldnt even refer people to drive for them but run from them😠
I had a pet ride once. It barked throughout the whole ride. Never doing pet ride again. lol
Today I had a ride for a 1.5 hours costumer paid 140.00 and I made 56.00 , wasn’t worthed at all!
I wish I was still able to do Uber sometimes your insight is valuable
FTC needs to INVESTIGATE Uber!
Non-Emergency-Convict(& His Pitbull) Transportation
34¢ per mile, $15 per hour, poop cleaning included🤣🤣🤣
Roof roof🐕

The crazy part about this trip is someone is going to take it

taxi will cost $3 per mile, thats little over $650. after expenses and 10hrs the profit would be minimum $350. that would be just decent
Uber is the most greedy company I have ever came across!!!
Somebody out there took that ride, that's the problem...
$120 from Albany to JFK International Airport
42 minutes trip for 12$.
I had a Lyft medical ride pop up today to go 140+ miles. Not having a person die with health issues in my car.
The driver will probably have to take a piss or a shit with in 4 hours 😂
I’m sorry at the end of the day it really falls down onto the driver. What kind of reasoning logic and thought goes into excepting such a ride 💔
The problem is there are desperados who take these trips and that’s why they keep throwing these offers
First thing I saw immediately was pet and prison camp pickup! Holy F hahahaha😂 that is CRAZY. Also the long trip BS!
I do Lyft 95% of the time because of area filters, not to mention Uber DF'S suck. When I do do Uber no trip over 25 miles. This is a 400 dollar trip and the driver better have 3 harbor freight moving blankets in the trunk. Don't know why they would even open Uber Pets on the app.

I'd do it for $500
Torsten, have you ever tried reaching out to some of the shareholder companies?

The drivers need to be smart enough to avoid these sort of trips. If that were even 250 to 300$ I wouldnt even consider clicking on it.
Have you guys heard of Alto? Apparently they get paid minimum wage and accept all uber rides. Crazy
Plus it's too damn cheap for time and mileage.
Screw them.
This is a new low!
God that round trip time would be insane, because you know most of that way back is going to be on your dime...
On a positive note, the rider in this ride is rated a 5.0 😂
-wouldn’t be shocked if the pet is a Pitbull, named “Killa” …named after the rider’s street name.
--question: What would be worse? Receiving $0.00 tip or a $1 dollar. What’s funny is that anyone who doesn’t accept garbage exclusive rides like this, gets their Acceptance rate reduced by 1% each ride now..
So I chose to🍒 pick.
when i get trips like this i take em and get paid directly i did one from ontario ca to las vegas for $500
Why would you even have Uber Pet selected on the app that and Teens are off on my app
Uber tried to do that to me last week.
That's 10 hrs 166 that's 16$ and you are paying for gas plus wear and tear
I looked it up, it’s the Lincoln Correctional Center in North Carolina. Heading to SC. Is this a prison escapee you’re the getaway driver taking them across state lines?
Drop off is right in the tourist area of Myrtle Beach by the motels.
Very odd. Def no for me.
Would love to hear from the driver who took the trip though.
Is this in a different country where this is really like $166,000? 😅
But it's got 5% advantage! And it's 41 dollars per active hour!
Seriously though, there is no pet, they just chose pet because it's the cheaper option.
The only rides thats worth it is LAX to SAN and vice versa and DMV
I need ur help someone said I pull a gun and touch them tht is just outrageous.. I have a police report I also haven’t police officers number and card I have sent everything to Lyft and I am still banned I really did nothing
This is an advantage driver so Dara would send this with 5% less to most of us😂😂
That trip must be at least $766.50 with all that mile. 219 miles
I’m not doing any long-distance rides anymore. That pay is fucking garbage.
I also have the police department number
Turns out they were a lovely rider with just a pet mouse 😂
10 hour trip for $166. $16.60/hour BEFORE expenses
The big question is how much money did they make to
I just Google it, literally front gate to a prison….
“They are NOT like us.”
one time uber wanted to give me $240 from Phx az to California some town! lol i was no way jose!
❤❤❤Great CONTENT Professor! Why is Evil Dara still out of PRISON?
I sent over everything they won’t take it
But hey, there's a 5% Advantage :) :) :)
I bet Uber charged this passenger $600 plus for this ride minimum
That trip should be at least $250 and it should come with a wear and tear on your vehicle and a gas card because reality probably going to have to put two to three times of gas you're going to need to put gas going over there and gas coming back😢 and whoever the driver is I hope you take some snacks with you😂

Taking your pet from the federal penitentary to the beach is nasty work.
And you have approximately 6-9 seconds to do all the math in your head as well as to look for all the negatives....

I got screwed once again by Uber... Wouldn't surprise me if they took it.. No way to know..
Not me. Thats way too little money for that trip alone pet or not.
I was like... what is uber pits?
Stop driving
❤❤
Actually they can do what they want. The wrong thing is about stupid drivers
oh crap, who would be dumb enough to take this? 18 bucks an hour - 7ph for wear and tear, oh gawwwwwd no. Please tell me somebody didn't take this.
0.37$/per mile... even less when you calculate fuel cost, and 438 miles lost on your car round trip, just quit driving for Uber...they are thieves..
Some kind of dogs 🐕 had bug 🐞 you will never going to remove it from you buddy or you clothes even if you buy new clothes so dangerous worst than bed bugs . Don’t get me wrong I love ❤️ dogs but some people they don’t take care of there dogs this why you end up getting those bugs in you ears hair everywhere .and you will stay itching all the time no doctor no medicine can help you with this specially when you pick up dogs or any pet you don’t know.
The pay alone is a joke. 😂
As soon as I see long trip by Uber I run away as fast as I could, try to send me 32 miles away paying me 20$, 50 minutes trip in rush hour, corporate greed has no bounds and limits!! Sucking on the blood & sweat of drivers, disgusting!!
That’s a min $1300 trip
Drivers in India they living good with these money that’s what he thinks
8 Minutes pick up and four and a half hours to its destination!

HI Professor why the Hell would the driver even take this Ride… MyGod….
Too many homeless drivers, with rental car they accept this ride
Hell to the No.
Customer paid 750$ :////
lol that is absolute insanity 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s 40 an hr

What about all that damn dog hair and dog smell all thru the car after u drop them off!???
This should be handled by a bus. Absolutely absurd!
He should dam well quit for putting that crap out
This is bullshit ride
Every drivers should calculate the mileage hoping no one takes this stupid ride with pets.
You know the funniest thing, an idiotic driver is gonno accept this ride 😅.
hey there professor, you forgot to mention u r probably picking up a felon with a brand new uber account and a rat he raised during his sentence.
This is horrible.
They treat drivers like garbage. Dara thief
