      The driver who is reasonably intelligent will have many write offs and end up paying no taxes, they may even get a small refund. They still may just break even and not make a profit but the 'freedom' of going home when they want to and going out when they want is the benefit some drivers may be looking for. The price they may pay is not having a profitable business in the long run,?

    Was this guy a former cabbie familiar with looking at vehicle and prospect stats on his dispatch screen? I remember chatting to a South African cab driver while waiting for a job, he said "You know what? Two days ago I took my mobile phone and I threw it in the ocean. Why? Because I read a book called 'The subtle art of not giving a fuck'!"
    I asked, "Are you married?"
    "Yeah, why?"
    "What does your wife think about you not having a phone?"
    "I don't give a fuck! She knows what time I get home."
    Classic.

  • @michaelorgera181

    My ping rate when up more than 20%... knowledge of where the other drivers are is power! It is due to when I started using a second phone! You can use technique this with one phone but it takes a bit of time. The second phone lets you see the others moving and see them vanish when they get a ping! Knowing your area and where the most productive pick up points is imperative.

    Hi mate thanks very much for your video post.very useful information that can be used throughout my business in Australia. Love your idea of having two network carriers are two phone's to operate one obviously uber X app as well as the Uber Rider app on either phone. My question to you is have you ever had experience using the Samsung S8 plus Multi Window feature with the dual SIM with two different carriers. If so what was better.was 2 phone application better or was the multi-window feature better with just using a single phone dual SIM .if you've tried that before.

    • @AskTorsten
      @AskTorsten  6 років тому

      Happie Times1983 thank you my friend, always love getting mail from my mates in Australia. As a South African, we respect your strong rugby team. The reason why i am running two phones is because i am operating on two platforms, Uber and Lyft....ehich means i need four apps to run simultaneously, two rider apps, two driver apps. If you are only on one playform, like Uber Australia, one phone will suffice. I don't like switching between apps while driving, so i have both rinning before my eyes, knowing whatvis going on at all times. I appreciate your feedback and drive safe out there.

  • @MetalTeamster
    @MetalTeamster 5 років тому +8

    I don't run two phones but I do frequently bring up the rider app and see where other drivers are ( In Seattle and surrounding communities ).... and position myself accordingly. Some drivers think zero dead head miles is good, but I think you can waste a lot of time sitting in less advantageous areas and not re positioning. I think knowing demographics and patterns of people movement is key... Good vid.

    • @fanchonfontaine6106
      @fanchonfontaine6106 7 років тому +3

      Merlin Calo you will get more trips as Uber X. I drive a Honda Pilot with three row seating and most of my trips are Uber X.
      The thing is, if you have a big car like this you can do Uber X AND Uber XL.
      Apparently the riders will select "Uber XL" if they have more than four passengers.
      Bottom line... if you only do XL, you're going to miss out on a lot of trips.
      I am a newbie, but hope this helps.
      I had the same questions when I first started driving.

    • @merlincalo6877
      @merlincalo6877 7 років тому

      +Fanchon Fontaine That's good feedback, yet I only have a sedan at the moment 4 doors. I was not aware that you can accept both Uber X, and Uber XL with larger vehicles. 👍 Any thoughts on not taking pool rides to get more Uber X, and not hurting your acceptance rating? I typically shut off the app, yet not sure if this really helps.

    • @KINGRAGE
      @KINGRAGE 6 років тому

      Fanchon Fontaine I have 3rd row seating in my vehicle too. I drive in Texas where we have X, XL, and SELECT. My vehicle is on all 3 platforms but I never turn on UberX unless the surge is 2.0x or higher. I mainly work from the airport so I do have to wait longer between customers, but I also don’t put so many miles on my vehicle. Just working the airport and downtown area I can easily make $150 per day. Most I made was $385 and only did 11 trips, I had caught several surges. $68 on a UberX 2.4x surge.

    Great video sir! Thank you so much for sharing this awesome information! I have a question if you don't mind? Can I use just one phone that has the driver & rider app and get the same results? Is the big reason that you have two phones because you want to ensure that you get more complete coverage with both AT&T and Verizon? Thank you again!

      Also, soon Uber pax will be allowed to tip through thier app - you wont need to ask, and it will be allowed (competeition with Lyft is pressing them).
      If they choose to tip through the app, the rating will automatically be a 4 or 5. If they choose NOT to to tip, riders can rate between 1 to 5. It is a Pilot program starting in Chicago this week, in fact. Invite only for now.

    I looked into doing this in my area. They pay $1/mi. Uber takes .25, plus gas, mileage, and the big one, DEPRECIATION. I may get cash this week but when I sell my car, it will be worth thousands less. Every mile I drive my car, it goes down in value, whether I'm getting paid or not!
    Please don't think writing it off on taxes helps you. It only reduces your tax liability, you'll still have to pay for new tires much sooner along with brakes, shocks, timing belts ect. Plus when you sell or trade it in you won't get jack sh*t. Add it ALL up.
    Why do you think they pay so much for referrals? They need drivers cause so many do it a few months and realize it's at best minimum wage. (x at least)

      @TheDesireeFox 6 років тому +2

      Write off on taxes , 14 YEARS AGO if you were a business owner (which you should treat Uber as a business) we were getting $0.57 cents per mile, and miles to get to the start location from your home count!! So, take that money and get an interest paying savings account. Then when you need to have money to buy tires, etc. It's there. Also get a second interest paying account and put a little $25 or so each week and that can be your down payment for a newer car. Personally, I think that you should add a few extra dollars a month to pay your business car off sooner. And, if you're in a metropolitan area, most of the miles will be highway, which brings the value back up. So sell it privately, like maybe someone that wants to start Uber and needs a car that has been taken care of!!

    Sir, thank you for you non-nonsense approach. You are a testament for when you use critical thinking and do not flower or dress up your language how much more effective you can be. I am contemplating signing with uber and have a business man who is renting vehicles. I do not know what is acceptable as far as third partner rental fees would be. The gentleman is requesting 250,00 per week. I must carry my own insurance but he will be covering maintenance. I will be driving in the inland Empire market, primarily the Riverside to San Diego Corridor with a focus on the Temecula wine country. Would this be a sustainable demographic based on the area and his rental fee?

    • @oelergodt
      @oelergodt 7 років тому +5

      +T1ger8oi,
      What else would it be? He says it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. He says you need a phone with the driver app and one with the passenger app - and then later goes on to explain how you should stay as big a distance away from other uber drivers as possible while still being in the area where your clientele resides.
      Then for added efficiency he uses two different carriers for his phones in case one doesn't cover all areas of the city you're in.
      However, honestly, if you don't have that problem in your city, I'd imagine it'd be more efficient to just have one provider and tether with the other phone - or if your carrier allows for it have a free extra sim card on the same plan for the second phone... or hell just switch between the apps on one phone, although I'd imagine that'd be more stressful having to swtich back and forth all the time.

Yesterday I had two drop offs (Phoenix) and each time I dropped off I got ping to go pick someone else up at another spot at the terminal while the queue was showing 50 to 60 drivers waiting. Why is that? I am now no longer waiting in the queue if I get an airport run I'm sure to get a pick up after my drop off. This has happened quite a few times with Uber but just recently noticed it happening more now. I also drive for Lyft and it's happened with Lyft also.

    You aren’t taking into consideration that these cars are most likely moving not sitting in one spot. Just because you position yourself in that area and it looks good doesn’t mean that two minutes later that won’t change.

    I really appreciate hearing the info you provided in this video!!! It makes a ton of sense and I wanted to THANK YOU very much. I just signed up with Lyft and haven't even started driving yet . . . because I have to wait until next week to pick up my assigned rental car (according to their parameters, my Toyota Avalon is "too old" to qualify). I'm hoping to make enough money to buy a car = when I get my own qualifying car & can sign up for Uber, I will definitely use your referral code. Thanks again; you are AWESOME!

      There are ALWAYS expenses involved in self-employment and as a contract employee. It isn't what it costs, but what you take home that's important. If someone is comfortable with their take-home, that's their business. Who are you to make that decision for them? Especially when one is so obviously narrow-minded they could see through a keyhole with both eyes open? Laughable!

    Love it bro! After 8 yrs I do something similar in Colorado. And yes, you should be compensated for spending time with a new recruit and share / train THEM for success.

      Alex Lichine use one phone for now if you are driving for one company like Uber. You can run 2 apps on one phone. Later you may want to add Lyft and operate another 2 apps, total 4. At that point you may want to operate 2 phones

    What do you think about leasing a new 2016 vehicle and using Uber? My payments would be 200 a month.
