As an IC, and NOT an employee, I have the ABSOLUTE RIGHT to know AHEAD OF TIME any and all info that will help me make an informed decision about where I decide to drive MY CAR paying for MY GAS for MY SAFETY. So, hell yes, I will HAPPILY discriminate 24/7 for my safety.
I take all rides no matter what. I took a pax yesterday a half mile but it put me in position to pick one up going 54 miles. Take the good with the bad.
+Luna EB Did you have my passenger from yesterday? LOL!!! I had someone that needed to go about 6 blocks to 7/11 and back home. I wouldn't have canceled on him but, wow... And like Ronnie mentioned... it put me in a location to pick up some guys going about 40 miles out.
+Ronnie Inabnit Hey this is true as well! This doesn't work on the 3am calls in the suburbs, however. If you're stuck out there, you're stuck. Gotta wait and take a nap. You might not get another call for an hour, and it may again be 18 miles away (hopefully not). I think that in the future, Uber will allow us to edit how many miles we can drive to do a pickup.
Just following up on this...I have an android ZTE and after watching this I tried it and it works. I click on the information clipboard top right and then waybill on the next page and it shows right up! Thanks for the info!
i thank you for that . i am Driver in new jersey i never cancel trips i take all the passengers but i can cancel if something wrong in my car or when i feeling tired or when i want use the bathroom
I'm concerned about being a female and having a destination going to an unsafe area of Chicago or an area I'm not familiar with. I'm an accepting person but I'm not willing to get shot driving down the wrong street. If I'm an independent, why don't I have a say of where I'm going? It's not a matter of money, but safety.
I agree with Tephanie Goodson because i live in Atlanta and im not going too certain places or spots i know its unsafe. I will be Uber driver and stay safe. Uber should have safety feature like Lyft.
Im in Atlanta and I agree 100% that Uber needs some simple "Call Police" button because you're extremely vulnerable with the pax being behind you and able to modify the path you take. Im a 6'2" African American big fella and I still feel unsafe time to time
Heyy, Chi-town female Uber driver here too! Yeah, I end up in some very bad areas too! And those saying "don't be an Uber driver" can STFU. Uber needs drivers and people need to make money, plain and simple. Or else it's not gonna available in bad neighborhoods if ish starts going down, plain and simple.
hey uberman like the vids, uber told me that when i pick up a passenger and not comfortable with where they want to go, either to far or bad area that i was allowed to cancel on the spot, i just wasn't allowed to cancel for discriminatory reasons.
If you are working under a guarantee, the more short trips you can do the better Hit your quota and go home. For some reason, no pings from residence. Rinse and repeat.
I wouldn't cancel for a short trip, but several times recently I have had riders pull me 30 miles away from downtown Chicago right before the evening rush. Sure I make a decent fare way out to the 'burbs, but it is an hour out and at least an hour back with minimal fare opportunities on the trip back and I miss most of the evening rush and the related surge. This is perhaps my biggest gripe with Uber so far (about 6 weeks in). Uber has a very sophisticated system and should be able to notify drivers that the ride will take them far outside the downtown area and give them the right to decline. I have never cancelled an accepted ride except for a customer no show, and I won't start now. But this is what I currently do for a living and the long trips outside the city end up costing me about as much as I make.
D Palmer SAME HERE!!!! Always right b4 I have to pick my son up from daycare at 6:30pm & from Atlanta, that could EASILY be 1.5, almost 2 hours depending on traffic & it never happens until about 4:30pm then I HAVE to start heading right back from where I came with no pay bc I can't use the "enter your destination" feature bc there's not enough time at that point. Sometimes I've been able to do it & it's wonderful except for the time Uber made me 24 mins late picking my son up which costs $1 per minute after 6:30pm.. So I basically lost that entire fare. I have to put my arrival time as 30 mins b4 the actual time otherwise they'd have me late every time! I complained & then they did a survey about weeks ago asking questions about that particular feature... Dunno if it was really aimed at me or if everyone had the opportunity to take the survey.
This works for me on my Samsung S6 Edge+. I have never seen the blue icon with the "i" but i do see the clipboard when i accept a ride, and from there i can see it. :)
JOshua029 I have an M9, and no destinations are shown, and I checked about a week ago. It might have changed, I'll have to check again. By the way, HTC sucks, I'm switching back to a Galaxy.
I am glad you posted this. I'm not cleared for airport pickup yet because I don't have plates on my new car yet. I'd hate to accept and show up and the person is going to the airport and I have to say no, I can't take you and they have to start over again.
Bychance37 I can't even count the number of times that has happened to me after waiting 10-15 min. And they pull up and see my suitcase and they say they can't go to the airport and I have to start over again.
Worked for me, Samsung 6...The first pax I checked,it wasn't there,but when I began the trip.it was...the next two times,pick up and drop off destination was under waybill...hit the clipboard in right hand corner, the same as contact/cancel screen,and the way bill is in right hand corner....It worked,I'm glad,but it won't change my acceptance, unless it's like drive 8 miles for a 1 mile trip....!!
It works! I tried it on my Note 3 Android and as long as the pax put's in their destination it shows on the way bill. I wish I knew this 5 months ago. Glad I know now!!!
I take all rides. The short ones are a cost of doing business. Assuming I don't know the destination, I'm often surprised -- hell, I just left the airport, now I'm going back (good), or the odd lady who needs to go about 40 miles. You never know. But, where I usually drive, I can't be picky, and short rides add up right now to little bonuses to compensate.
Cygnus X-1 Heh, this is good feedback. I was that odd lady, the drive cost me $51. It took just over am hour. However, the rider (me) is now becoming an Uber driver and guess who's codes I'm using to sign up for Uber & Lyft? Yep, my super friendly & patient 40+ mile driver. She gonna get PAID, because she was good to me! And THAT'S why you do it! ;-)
Sure. Take all rides. Without question or concern.... Until you repeatedly catch fares going across state lines into a neighboring state without reciprocity, getting stuck in four hours of 3 mph traffic heading into said state and 6 hours back out. All on a trip that SHOULD take slightly longer than an hour in either direction but due to traffic and the fact that you cannot originate a trip from within said state and therefore cannot deduct anything for the return trip, you've just wasted an entire day on one single fare ( after toll reimbursements, a whole $55 ) that not only was a complete wash due to it being all on your dime on the way back, you actually lost money due to the substantially longer trip back.... to finally get back to your home state, log on and surprise surprise....get another pax wanting to go across the state line......No smart business would do this repeatedly and neither will I.
I use an iPhone 6+ and drive for UberX and UberASSIST in SoCal. I've tried this method on several rides now and every time it just says "To: As directed..." for the destination. Wouldn't matter for me though if it did work...unless I'm in the top three of the airport queue I accept pretty much any ride that's less than 10 minutes away.
I started driving 2 days ago around Princeton, NJ. I got a fare from somewhere in Princeton thinking it would be to some of the local stores or to the train station. After I had the riders luggage in the trunk and rider in the car, she told me she was going to JFK Airport in NY. It took me 2hrs 26mins to get there, and a further 3hrs to get back home. Afterward I searched for a way to see if I could see the final destination before pick-up so I could cancel such a long ride as it wasn't worth the hassle of driving in Friday rush hour traffic going into NYC. I found your video and tried the "Waybill Method" the next day, but like many people here keep getting "TO: As Directed...".A few things Uber could do to improve the experience for drivers would be to:1. Allow drivers to see the rider's destination before pick-up so they can cancel on an extra-long journey they don't wish to make.2. Have a way to set a radius or region the driver is comfortable driving in3. Let the driver have a picture of the rider in the same way the rider gets a picture of the driver so we know who we're looking for and to prevent some riders getting in the wrong vehicle.
Agreed with everything u said. One thinh i dont understand is not being able to see passengers pic...makes no sense becausr its more important for us to see them then it is for them to see us.
Seeing a picture in advance gives the driver an opportunity to discriminate based on what the passenger looks like by canceling the ride on them. This has happened with other services where they require a picture. You have the passenger's name in advance so most drivers I know asks what's your name before they get into the car. That's all the verification you need.
i tried what you said and it works ! i hit the waybill button and now i can see their destinations ! thanks Randy ! im not being picky i just want to make money that's all
last week i drove 2.5miles to a pickup location. It was at an IHop restaurant in Los Angeles at the corner of Western and Slauson . I waited for a while and had to call the rider. she came out and asked me to wait a little longer to pay her bill. i agreed.after about 3minutes she came out with her husband and daughter. when i start the meter their destination was unbelievably 0.1miles .Just crossing slauson and the second house. I make $2.40, spend about 15minutes. I even asked them "Do You really need a ride for this?" the lady said "because we are lazy...." may be she is right. But for me this is the shortest drop off distance? why??? because the rate is so cheap!!!
Dagne Guchyalework And you are still driving for Uber after this? fuck Uber. I quitted because I was treated the same way. Cheap people take Uber because they can't afford taxi, they take advantage of such cheap rides. drivers like you, being used. Don't let people use you. Uber is slavery. get a life. do something else. I hate Uber so much.
Dagne Guchyalework Don't contact the rider, ever, unless you are trying to clarify the pick up location. Wait five minutes, and if they don't come out, cancel, collect your $4 ( or whatever it is ) and go to the next ping. In my city, a short haul will be switched to an automatic cancellation, and you'll get the cancel fee.
my op[inion is Uber shoudl take a smaller % of the short trips cause drivers make way below minimum wage on these trtips. of couse people wnat to know how not to get them . but if peop,el can cherry pick em it means others with get screwed by them twice as much.
Uber Man, for Mardi Gras which started this past weekend Uber has "reached out" to their veteran drivers who were driving last year for Mardi Gras and are still driving now. One thing they said was to ditch the Google Maps navigation and switch over to WAZE. Turns out that that seems like a good suggestion. I have had very little trouble using WAZE vs Google Maps. In addition, they said to ignore Uber's advice to text riders first before calling. With the crowds and traffic it's best to confirm the pax location immediately after accepting a ping by calling them. That way you can talk and drive legally here while texting requires you to pull over and stop to avoid violating local law and possibly having an accident. Besides, there is often no place to pull over in New Orleans as parking is tight and finding a safe location off the street is not easy. So WAZE it and call, don't text. I've had good results. If a pax asks me why I didn't text (that's never happened to me) I'll just explain that that is what Uber advised us to do during the busy Mardi Gras season.
lol I was coming home after studying last week and decided to try out driving for my first time. Was trying to figure out the ubereats part but I couldn't so I figured 'eh it's about 5 o'clock. I'll try it. Maybe get someone going home or to work". When I started it I was talking to someone and we were joking about taking people to the airport (which can suck.. and is roughly 30 minutes away). I accept a ride. Go to the location and park in the drive way. It's a younger couple and the girl walks out with a suitcase. _shiiiiiiit_ Dammit I *wanted* a quick 5 mile ride. Not to the airport for my very first ride. It was okay, still. They were super nice and I'm glad they were happy with their ride.
UberAlly says....IF you do not want a short trip because it takes too long to get there....and UBER dispatches you anyways...CALL the client and ask them how far they are going. If its not worth your while.....explain it to them and ask them to please cancel the trip. Most clients don't have a problem with that once it is explained to them that it cost us money to take them under 3 miles if we have to drive 5 miles to go get them. Just make sure they cancel within the 5 minute timezone so they are not charged. Uber doesn't always take care of us so we are FORCED to figure out ways to watch out for numero uno...YOU! Uber on!
D Mac, you'll be deactivated, sooner or later, for this and for your attitude. I'm not an Uber shill, I have my problems with Uber, as well, but I sure as hell don't have your attitude, not that you care, as you have made it clear, you don't give a shit about people, they are nothing to you.
I don't mind a block or two when I'm close. Downtown in Houston Ive strung several quick trips together with the pickups scheduled before I drop off. If it goes right, you get the min on each one for 3-4 quick trips. I.e., I had a dropoff then like a pickup 1-4 blocks away, then a few more like that.
In Cincinnati we frequently get trip requests that are 10-20 and even 25 minutes away or more. A low acceptance rating will not get you banned from the app, and if this is a concern you can decline the trip. Generally speaking, I will not accept rides that are more than ten minutes away unless I'm in a rural part of our pick-up area.
My concern with wanting to know where a rider is going is due to the out-of-the-blue rides to Manhattan. I live in NJ, and NYC is 40 miles from me. I've been driving for Uber only for a month, but this past Sunday I had my first drop off in Manhattan. It's an 1 hr and 30 min ride just to get out of the Holland tunnel, along with $24 in tolls. The fare was $67 after uber fees, but that doesn't cover the tolls I have to pay to get back to NJ through Brooklyn and Staten Island. It was another $26 in tolls to get back along with needing to refuel after 80 miles of travel. So my actual profit was roughly $25 out of the $67 fare. Last night, I had a pickup at 8:47pm, and when I got there they were going to Manhattan with a bunch of luggage. I had to cancel because I just couldn't take them. My EZ pass was depleted and I was set to "clock out" at 10pm. It just wouldn't be time or cost efficent to drive all the way into Manhattan. So that's really the only reason why I want to know where a rider is going before hand, so I can avoid trips to NYC unless I can actually make the trip.
+Uber Man So far, it doesn't work. But I'm not sure I'm clicking the correct icon. I'll be on vacation for the next 2 weeks so I'll try it again when I come back. Thanks for all your videos! I love watching them.
I honestly don't care where they are going I only care about how much time it is going to take to get to the pax. I got a ping last week that was 35min away ya I don't think so.
I appreciate this, because I saw on the news a few weeks ago about an Uber driver that took a rider (a Pro NFL player) from IL to NY, because he had an emergency. I get it, it was nice of him to do it, and the cost of the trip was $600, I think and he was tipped $300, but that's when I started thinking, "How far can they request a destination? And how can I see where they want to go to make sure I'm not driving hundreds of miles because I didn't know where they were going beforehand." So, this video helps, thank you!
Tampa market Samsung Note 3. As long as they enter the address it shows in the way bill, Thanks Randy. Ill be using this so that I can input address into a 2nd GPS (waze) as a backup GPS before I reach pax.
Saturday I made $1.88 PER HOUR! I made $15. Uber made $22! Saturday, I put 105 miles on my car, in about 8 hours (2pm-10pm). Uber credited me with 2h 30m time, and 55 (mi). Uber gave me $70. At one point, surges were all around me but I only made it into one, for 1.4x! I had SEVEN rides for UNDER $5! So, I GROSSED $8.75/hr BEFORE expenses, which would be $55 (IRS 55¢/mi), or $6.87 per hour - netting $1.88 PER HOUR! I netted about $15. Uber kept about $22!
The problem is how to see their destination before you accept it but the damn thing goes by so fast, I don’t mind shit trips but I do t like ending up going three freeways for many miles without notice, it should say long trip or how many miles because I have to get back home after drop off as well.
This will be great. I won't use it to cancel short rides, I'll use it to travel toward home at the end of the day. Sometimes a PAX will take me a long way from home and this way I can take rides in the direction I need to go. I've asked Uber to give us the ability to do this but they've ignored my requests. Lyft already does it with their destination filter (in some markets).
Uber Man I've been looking at the waybill on all my requests and I'm not seeing the destination, even on rides where the PAX has entered it. All it ever says is, "As directed". Bummer. Android, OC CA.
Here in Los Angeles it just says "as directed...." But what I have found is when you are taking a pool ride and it doesn't match with a rider it's most likely a far ride probably 15+ miles.
I'm on an iPhone 6 and if you click the waybill before you "start" the trip the destination ALWAYS says "as directed". My passengers almost always have the destination in there, but it doesn't show until I start the trip. Super annoying.
Ok that was good, but what I really need is what I'm told by uber we can set destination so we will only get trips going to one direction like Home. the pic they sent is old. Thanks for all your help
I have tried this many times and on the waybill sections ALWAYS says AS DIRECTED where their destination is listed. It's probably since been fixed to keep this from happening before picking up the passenger. I've only had one passenger not enter their destination.
Here's something riders are doing in Jax. They request on a street with a fake house number during a surge. If it's main st for example. And there's a real address of 1234 and 1236. They enter 1235! When u accept the ride, it's shows no surge? But u see there is a surge in that area. It give you the address to a nav too. But, when u tap the area, say to contact the ride. Area that show pickup and destination. You will see that the pickup address is listed as "unknown address" I think the uber computer is confused about the riders actual location so no surge charge is applied. Happened twice to me yesterday. I cancelled both!!
My problem with why I need this is going to new orleans. My car is an 06 trail blazer, so I'm not allowed to pick people up in new orleans. However, living in metairie makes it to where everyone I pick up want to go to new orleans. So until I get a newer model car I'm expected to drive to new orleans to drop someone off but, then I have to drive all the way back to metaire roughly (11 miles) before I can even ping. Sorry this message sounds stupid its 2:04 am and I don't feel like proofreading.
Hey Uber Man. You need to make a video where Uber notifys passengers when the surge is over so they can request, what happens is as you get closer the surge refreshes so you as a driver don't get it, what I do is log off for a couple of minutes get into the area that was surging and it will refresh to a surge log on and sweep the rides on surge
(gasp....fainted)....He spoke to me. You're welcome SuperMan...oops...I meant UberMan. 3 things....(your eyes/your smile/your hands) Your wife is a very fortunate lady....kudos to HER.
I thought they added this so we could see if it's worth it to take the trip if I drive 20 mins and only take them a block away it's a waste of gas. Otherwise why even bother checking
its terrible that we cant see where the passenger is going!! I sometimes dont want to go far a way!!! so I hope they change it. Thanks for info I will try it.
I drove yesterday about 3km and the rider was going only 350 metres with a shopping bag lol. People just order uber when they are bored or something it's like let's order uber and we will have someone to talk to
I have a Droid. The waybill doesn't show a destination. I've tried it before. Only way to see where you're going to is to accept the ride as soon as you arrive at pickup point. Then you can cancel and split. A friend of mine has Done this. It doesn't help your rating at all but if you don't care about that, then it's all good.
As an Uber passenger it has been my experience that the driver ALWAYS knows the exact destination, even before I get in the car. They usually tell me where I am going, just to confirm it.
Joe...I don't call them. I just enter my pick up point and my destination. I assume the destination shows up on the drivers phone after I plug it in my phone. To my knowledge I cannot request the trip unless I put in my destination.
As a driver, we don't see the destination until we "start the ride" in the app. That should happen once the passenger sits in the car. That's per the rules of Uber & Lyft.
Uber makes passengers believe the driver knows where they are going...however, the driver has no clue of the riders destination. Uber needs to get the boot!
Thanks UBERMAN good tip, it's probably something I'd use if I was on a lil less than a quarter tank of gas on an hour trip request and near the end of my UBER shift
+Eddy Vasquez True there! I had an unexpected request to drive 75 miles away. Since I did not know where she was going. I was "unprepared". I was running low on gas. But got there without needing to stop. Not only that, I was not able to pick up my kids and my wife. From school and work. Because the time. Knocked my schedule off a little. From this point on, I've decided to always be ready at moments notice! I am a week old BTW
After poking around on the first day, I figured this out. It's pretty neat but it doesn't show up for most pickups I've had so far. (30 Trips only). It usually says "As Directed.." more often than not. Even on one trip that took me from Queens to the Bx.
Hey Uber Man! This is Dago from Chicago. Thanks for the info! It does work! Im able too see rider's destinition in waybill. Also, Id like to mention that in Chicago, you're able to see passenger's rating if you're not using the "Uber Phone". Drivers have to use their own phone to see pax's ratings.
That's funny cause last night I accepted a ride that said 29mins away. On my way there, the passenger called wanting to know if I was coming because she wanted a ride to the convenient store and back, and I said sure. We hung up and shortly after thinking about it, I canceled the ride cause ain't to driver gonna do that to there car for only a few bucks! Soon after I canceled her request, I try texting her right away saying "sorry I'm 30mins away" right before I got a new request, so my text ended up going to the next passenger.
If drivers’ ratings are at their highest status, each ride will show 1) time towards pickup, 2) drive time duration, and 3) estimated paid $$ for every ride. But if any driver’s 1) acceptance rating, 2) cancellations rating, or 3) overall score gets lowered, drivers will NOT be privy to this info.
To the best of my knowledge even looking at the waybill as He suggests will never give you the passenger's destination but rather says something to the effect as destination as directed.
Just doing research on maybe trying this part time. Why would it be a secret where a passengers destination is? Why isn't it a requirement for a driver to know where a passenger is going?
I wish this worked the other day when I excepted a ride from Dover Delaware to BWI Airport!! It did say PREMIER ride though. I will try this my next ride and let you know the results! Thanks UberMan!
I have a question. Am I allowed to travel out of my area or state to drive for Uber? For example could I travel from Pa. to Florida driving for Uber picking up passengers on the way down?
I am the opposite. I don’t want long drives. I only want short rides. I’m on Long Island. I don’t want to go to Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, etc. I need to know where they are going. Today I picked this guy up and he said he is going to La Guardia. I’m not going all the way over there!! It was at the end of my day to. I cancelled the ride, I don’t care!!
There is and always was a way to see the destination before you get there. Start the trip right before you get there and cancel if you don't like what you see lol
It'll be nice for me to know, if I do end up driving for Uber, a passenger's destination, so that I can, before I get to pick up the passenger, where I will be taking him or her. That said, it isn't inevitable I will be driving for Uber, given the expensive infrastructure required (e.g. a vehicle costing at least US$30,000 after taxes, in the case of most UberBlack vehicles).
Suggestion ..dont start if you are agai at worst case of digital slavery...today I made 47$... I started at 5:25 am and first ride I got was around 10am... when I called support the guy who.may be new gave me information that no one ever does that my car was only eligible for uber eats and disabled for passengers without any notification or my knowledge.... like idiots I was on road....I have been driving since 2016...even yesterday I had passengers... i will be looking soon for a lawyer
there are times where i ask riders where they are going.. late night when im about to leave for home. if they are heading to north where i live, i take them if not i tell them to request another driver.. if they are not willing to tell me where they are going then i cancell on them because i don.t want go to the otherside of the city and drive back to home an hour lool. it sucks....
+Denis Lara I was wishing for such a thing! Especially since I have Metromile insurance. It seems the only time I get people going in the direction I live is when I'm NOT ready to go home! Lol!
thanks for all the videos you make Uber Man. i can see uber being revamped in the near future. especially if they want to keep up with competition. i can see them adding features such as...passengers destination address, the option to tip, and a lower rate requirement for drivers to have to maintain (maybe 4 stars). one can only dream right?
+Uber Man thanks for the reply!. ..I've been watching videos they are very informative my driver rating is a 4.96 over 60 trips...thanks for all your help!
I just started doing Uber. I really think that for all the percentage Uber takes. They should come out with a better system to protect Uber drivers. For instance being able to see the destination. It gives a driver an assortment of safety. Instead of driving into the wolves mouth.
I'm starting to think uber sucks as far as fares since new year with what seems like reduced fare, I can make more money with Lyft. But that's just my 2cents
As an IC, and NOT an employee, I have the ABSOLUTE RIGHT to know AHEAD OF TIME any and all info that will help me make an informed decision about where I decide to drive MY CAR paying for MY GAS for MY SAFETY. So, hell yes, I will HAPPILY discriminate 24/7 for my safety.
I take all rides no matter what. I took a pax yesterday a half mile but it put me in position to pick one up going 54 miles. Take the good with the bad.
Ronnie Inabnit Can't argue that point at all!
Ronnie Inabnit I usually set a number the first 10 rides and then i go back home it usually works out great
+Luna EB Did you have my passenger from yesterday? LOL!!! I had someone that needed to go about 6 blocks to 7/11 and back home. I wouldn't have canceled on him but, wow... And like Ronnie mentioned... it put me in a location to pick up some guys going about 40 miles out.
+Ronnie Inabnit Hey this is true as well! This doesn't work on the 3am calls in the suburbs, however. If you're stuck out there, you're stuck. Gotta wait and take a nap. You might not get another call for an hour, and it may again be 18 miles away (hopefully not). I think that in the future, Uber will allow us to edit how many miles we can drive to do a pickup.
Ronnie Inabnit yeah dude its not cool what he said 2 u..... I accept all rides too. only way to do it
Just following up on this...I have an android ZTE and after watching this I tried it and it works. I click on the information clipboard top right and then waybill on the next page and it shows right up! Thanks for the info!
+james Dodge No problem
If you cancel rides based on the destination you are a fucking ass hole.
GLYD Studios another driver can pick them up, who will be willing to go to that destination
@@glydstudios5632 it's my car and I have the right to go wherever I want
just push start trip 1 block before arriving to the pick up point and then cancel it before the passenger sees you
lol i dont even use uber and these videos are just so informational i cant stop watching Lol keep up the good work
I love hearing that! Thanks Quintin!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Too funny
i thank you for that .
i am Driver in new jersey
i never cancel trips
i take all the passengers
but i can cancel if something wrong in my car or when i feeling tired or when i want use the bathroom
I'm concerned about being a female and having a destination going to an unsafe area of Chicago or an area I'm not familiar with. I'm an accepting person but I'm not willing to get shot driving down the wrong street. If I'm an independent, why don't I have a say of where I'm going? It's not a matter of money, but safety.
+Denis Lara Exactly.
+Denis Lara right!
I agree with Tephanie Goodson because i live in Atlanta and im not going too certain places or spots i know its unsafe. I will be Uber driver and stay safe. Uber should have safety feature like Lyft.
Im in Atlanta and I agree 100% that Uber needs some simple "Call Police" button because you're extremely vulnerable with the pax being behind you and able to modify the path you take. Im a 6'2" African American big fella and I still feel unsafe time to time
Heyy, Chi-town female Uber driver here too! Yeah, I end up in some very bad areas too! And those saying "don't be an Uber driver" can STFU. Uber needs drivers and people need to make money, plain and simple. Or else it's not gonna available in bad neighborhoods if ish starts going down, plain and simple.
hey uberman like the vids, uber told me that when i pick up a passenger and not comfortable with where they want to go, either to far or bad area that i was allowed to cancel on the spot, i just wasn't allowed to cancel for discriminatory reasons.
If you are working under a guarantee, the more short trips you can do the better Hit your quota and go home. For some reason, no pings from residence. Rinse and repeat.
+Cyric Renner (Abraxas79) Ding!!
Cyric London.Wel said .That is how i work,i totally agree with you .
It’s not a matter of good Uber drivers vs bad, sometimes I only have a few minutes of free time to drive and I can’t get trapped in a long trip
Yup same issue. You have an appointment in 2 hours and you get a trip that's 90 miles but is 3 hours one way due to traffic and then what?
I wouldn't cancel for a short trip, but several times recently I have had riders pull me 30 miles away from downtown Chicago right before the evening rush. Sure I make a decent fare way out to the 'burbs, but it is an hour out and at least an hour back with minimal fare opportunities on the trip back and I miss most of the evening rush and the related surge.
This is perhaps my biggest gripe with Uber so far (about 6 weeks in). Uber has a very sophisticated system and should be able to notify drivers that the ride will take them far outside the downtown area and give them the right to decline.
I have never cancelled an accepted ride except for a customer no show, and I won't start now. But this is what I currently do for a living and the long trips outside the city end up costing me about as much as I make.
D Palmer I completely agree with you.
D Palmer SAME HERE!!!! Always right b4 I have to pick my son up from daycare at 6:30pm & from Atlanta, that could EASILY be 1.5, almost 2 hours depending on traffic & it never happens until about 4:30pm then I HAVE to start heading right back from where I came with no pay bc I can't use the "enter your destination" feature bc there's not enough time at that point. Sometimes I've been able to do it & it's wonderful except for the time Uber made me 24 mins late picking my son up which costs $1 per minute after 6:30pm.. So I basically lost that entire fare. I have to put my arrival time as 30 mins b4 the actual time otherwise they'd have me late every time! I complained & then they did a survey about weeks ago asking questions about that particular feature... Dunno if it was really aimed at me or if everyone had the opportunity to take the survey.
I just became a new UBER driver, I'm happy. I also made my very first trip.
Welcome to the club Andrew!!
Wait til some 18 year old girl gives you one star or some drunk douchebag
it actually took me to a college town with better rates so I stayed there until I was done.
yeah you anticipate see it no more, they hid it cuz ppl found out probably some drivers spiked in cancellations.
IT DOES WORK AS U SAY I HAVE A ZTE MAX PRO I FOUND IT LAST NIGHT WITHOUT EVER SEEING ANY OF YOUR VIDS ABOUT THIS
Good deal!
This works for me on my Samsung S6 Edge+. I have never seen the blue icon with the "i" but i do see the clipboard when i accept a ride, and from there i can see it. :)
Nice!
yea you are right
Will try on this latest update with my HTC one m8 and let you know m8 thanks. Great for small towns.
JOshua029 I have an M9, and no destinations are shown, and I checked about a week ago. It might have changed, I'll have to check again. By the way, HTC sucks, I'm switching back to a Galaxy.
I am glad you posted this. I'm not cleared for airport pickup yet because I don't have plates on my new car yet. I'd hate to accept and show up and the person is going to the airport and I have to say no, I can't take you and they have to start over again.
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching.
Bychance37 I can't even count the number of times that has happened to me after waiting 10-15 min. And they pull up and see my suitcase and they say they can't go to the airport and I have to start over again.
Worked for me, Samsung 6...The first pax I checked,it wasn't there,but when I began the trip.it was...the next two times,pick up and drop off destination was under waybill...hit the clipboard in right hand corner, the same as contact/cancel screen,and the way bill is in right hand corner....It worked,I'm glad,but it won't change my acceptance, unless it's like drive 8 miles for a 1 mile trip....!!
It works! I tried it on my Note 3 Android and as long as the pax put's in their destination it shows on the way bill. I wish I knew this 5 months ago. Glad I know now!!!
MoneyBags73 Happy to share!
I take all rides. The short ones are a cost of doing business. Assuming I don't know the destination, I'm often surprised -- hell, I just left the airport, now I'm going back (good), or the odd lady who needs to go about 40 miles. You never know. But, where I usually drive, I can't be picky, and short rides add up right now to little bonuses to compensate.
Cygnus X-1 Heh, this is good feedback. I was that odd lady, the drive cost me $51. It took just over am hour. However, the rider (me) is now becoming an Uber driver and guess who's codes I'm using to sign up for Uber & Lyft? Yep, my super friendly & patient 40+ mile driver. She gonna get PAID, because she was good to me! And THAT'S why you do it! ;-)
Sure. Take all rides. Without question or concern.... Until you repeatedly catch fares going across state lines into a neighboring state without reciprocity, getting stuck in four hours of 3 mph traffic heading into said state and 6 hours back out. All on a trip that SHOULD take slightly longer than an hour in either direction but due to traffic and the fact that you cannot originate a trip from within said state and therefore cannot deduct anything for the return trip, you've just wasted an entire day on one single fare ( after toll reimbursements, a whole $55 ) that not only was a complete wash due to it being all on your dime on the way back, you actually lost money due to the substantially longer trip back.... to finally get back to your home state, log on and surprise surprise....get another pax wanting to go across the state line......No smart business would do this repeatedly and neither will I.
And no, I neither live nor ply my trade anywhere near the fkn state line
I use an iPhone 6+ and drive for UberX and UberASSIST in SoCal. I've tried this method on several rides now and every time it just says "To: As directed..." for the destination. Wouldn't matter for me though if it did work...unless I'm in the top three of the airport queue I accept pretty much any ride that's less than 10 minutes away.
I started driving 2 days ago around Princeton, NJ. I got a fare from somewhere in Princeton thinking it would be to some of the local stores or to the train station. After I had the riders luggage in the trunk and rider in the car, she told me she was going to JFK Airport in NY. It took me 2hrs 26mins to get there, and a further 3hrs to get back home. Afterward I searched for a way to see if I could see the final destination before pick-up so I could cancel such a long ride as it wasn't worth the hassle of driving in Friday rush hour traffic going into NYC. I found your video and tried the "Waybill Method" the next day, but like many people here keep getting "TO: As Directed...".A few things Uber could do to improve the experience for drivers would be to:1. Allow drivers to see the rider's destination before pick-up so they can cancel on an extra-long journey they don't wish to make.2. Have a way to set a radius or region the driver is comfortable driving in3. Let the driver have a picture of the rider in the same way the rider gets a picture of the driver so we know who we're looking for and to prevent some riders getting in the wrong vehicle.
Agreed with everything u said. One thinh i dont understand is not being able to see passengers pic...makes no sense becausr its more important for us to see them then it is for them to see us.
I'm with you brother!!! I agree.
The same thing happened to me last week. from Jersey City to Princeton it took two and a half hours to get back home.
Seeing a picture in advance gives the driver an opportunity to discriminate based on what the passenger looks like by canceling the ride on them. This has happened with other services where they require a picture. You have the passenger's name in advance so most drivers I know asks what's your name before they get into the car. That's all the verification you need.
i tried what you said and it works ! i hit the waybill button and now i can see their destinations ! thanks Randy ! im not being picky i just want to make money that's all
+Alfredo Sanchez No problem! You're very welcome!
Ubering in San Diego , Monday to Thursday DOES NOT EVEN COVER GAS COSTS.
thats cause your a dump ass hahaha fucken idiot got clock i. for minimum wage idiot
last week i drove 2.5miles to a pickup location. It was at an IHop restaurant in Los Angeles at the corner of Western and Slauson .
I waited for a while and had to call the rider. she came out and asked me to wait a little longer to pay her bill. i agreed.after about 3minutes she came out with her husband and daughter. when i start the meter their destination was unbelievably 0.1miles .Just crossing slauson and the second house. I make $2.40, spend about 15minutes.
I even asked them "Do You really need a ride for this?"
the lady said "because we are lazy...."
may be she is right.
But for me this is the shortest drop off distance?
why???
because the rate is so cheap!!!
+Dagne Guchyalework Wow. Maybe so. That sucks though. I'm sorry.
Dagne Guchyalework it should be $10 minimum, so such riders will think twice.
Dagne Guchyalework And you are still driving for Uber after this? fuck Uber. I quitted because I was treated the same way. Cheap people take Uber because they can't afford taxi, they take advantage of such cheap rides. drivers like you, being used. Don't let people use you. Uber is slavery. get a life. do something else. I hate Uber so much.
Dagne Guchyalework Don't contact the rider, ever, unless you are trying to clarify the pick up location. Wait five minutes, and if they don't come out, cancel, collect your $4 ( or whatever it is ) and go to the next ping. In my city, a short haul will be switched to an automatic cancellation, and you'll get the cancel fee.
my op[inion is Uber shoudl take a smaller % of the short trips cause drivers make way below minimum wage on these trtips. of couse people wnat to know how not to get them . but if peop,el can cherry pick em it means others with get screwed by them twice as much.
Uber Man, for Mardi Gras which started this past weekend Uber has "reached out" to their veteran drivers who were driving last year for Mardi Gras and are still driving now. One thing they said was to ditch the Google Maps navigation and switch over to WAZE. Turns out that that seems like a good suggestion. I have had very little trouble using WAZE vs Google Maps. In addition, they said to ignore Uber's advice to text riders first before calling. With the crowds and traffic it's best to confirm the pax location immediately after accepting a ping by calling them. That way you can talk and drive legally here while texting requires you to pull over and stop to avoid violating local law and possibly having an accident. Besides, there is often no place to pull over in New Orleans as parking is tight and finding a safe location off the street is not easy. So WAZE it and call, don't text. I've had good results. If a pax asks me why I didn't text (that's never happened to me) I'll just explain that that is what Uber advised us to do during the busy Mardi Gras season.
lol I was coming home after studying last week and decided to try out driving for my first time. Was trying to figure out the ubereats part but I couldn't so I figured 'eh it's about 5 o'clock. I'll try it. Maybe get someone going home or to work".
When I started it I was talking to someone and we were joking about taking people to the airport (which can suck.. and is roughly 30 minutes away).
I accept a ride. Go to the location and park in the drive way.
It's a younger couple and the girl walks out with a suitcase.
_shiiiiiiit_
Dammit I *wanted* a quick 5 mile ride. Not to the airport for my very first ride.
It was okay, still. They were super nice and I'm glad they were happy with their ride.
UberAlly says....IF you do not want a short trip because it takes too long to get there....and UBER dispatches you anyways...CALL the client and ask them how far they are going. If its not worth your while.....explain it to them and ask them to please cancel the trip. Most clients don't have a problem with that once it is explained to them that it cost us money to take them under 3 miles if we have to drive 5 miles to go get them. Just make sure they cancel within the 5 minute timezone so they are not charged. Uber doesn't always take care of us so we are FORCED to figure out ways to watch out for numero uno...YOU! Uber on!
I have been doing this since day one. I'm the CEO of L-Uber, Inc. and that's how I run my business.
Allison Johnson, If Uber finds out you call them, Uber will fire you.
D Mac people like you are the reason our world will crumble.
There is only one of those types you just mentioned that spend the after life in Hell. Can you guess which one?
D Mac, you'll be deactivated, sooner or later, for this and for your attitude. I'm not an Uber shill, I have my problems with Uber, as well, but I sure as hell don't have your attitude, not that you care, as you have made it clear, you don't give a shit about people, they are nothing to you.
I don't mind a block or two when I'm close. Downtown in Houston Ive strung several quick trips together with the pickups scheduled before I drop off. If it goes right, you get the min on each one for 3-4 quick trips. I.e., I had a dropoff then like a pickup 1-4 blocks away, then a few more like that.
In Cincinnati we frequently get trip requests that are 10-20 and even 25 minutes away or more. A low acceptance rating will not get you banned from the app, and if this is a concern you can decline the trip. Generally speaking, I will not accept rides that are more than ten minutes away unless I'm in a rural part of our pick-up area.
uber man...
thumbs up it works on my iphone5 no probs at all ....thanks from down under(melbourne)
My concern with wanting to know where a rider is going is due to the out-of-the-blue rides to Manhattan. I live in NJ, and NYC is 40 miles from me. I've been driving for Uber only for a month, but this past Sunday I had my first drop off in Manhattan. It's an 1 hr and 30 min ride just to get out of the Holland tunnel, along with $24 in tolls. The fare was $67 after uber fees, but that doesn't cover the tolls I have to pay to get back to NJ through Brooklyn and Staten Island. It was another $26 in tolls to get back along with needing to refuel after 80 miles of travel. So my actual profit was roughly $25 out of the $67 fare.
Last night, I had a pickup at 8:47pm, and when I got there they were going to Manhattan with a bunch of luggage. I had to cancel because I just couldn't take them. My EZ pass was depleted and I was set to "clock out" at 10pm.
It just wouldn't be time or cost efficent to drive all the way into Manhattan. So that's really the only reason why I want to know where a rider is going before hand, so I can avoid trips to NYC unless I can actually make the trip.
That makes sense. Does it work out there?
+Uber Man So far, it doesn't work. But I'm not sure I'm clicking the correct icon. I'll be on vacation for the next 2 weeks so I'll try it again when I come back.
Thanks for all your videos! I love watching them.
Tolls can be reported for reimbursement
@@lukebrehm1610
How?
@@jackiegrant38 TAXES
I honestly don't care where they are going I only care about how much time it is going to take to get to the pax. I got a ping last week that was 35min away ya I don't think so.
Chris Kelly84 Me either!! LOL.. Nope!
Ohh Uber Man, I hope you aren't smokin that ganj before you take on those passengers
I appreciate this, because I saw on the news a few weeks ago about an Uber driver that took a rider (a Pro NFL player) from IL to NY, because he had an emergency. I get it, it was nice of him to do it, and the cost of the trip was $600, I think and he was tipped $300, but that's when I started thinking, "How far can they request a destination? And how can I see where they want to go to make sure I'm not driving hundreds of miles because I didn't know where they were going beforehand." So, this video helps, thank you!
Tampa market Samsung Note 3. As long as they enter the address it shows in the way bill, Thanks Randy. Ill be using this so that I can input address into a 2nd GPS (waze) as a backup GPS before I reach pax.
Jaime Nieves Glad to help!
Saturday I made $1.88 PER HOUR! I made $15. Uber made $22!
Saturday, I put 105 miles on my car, in about 8 hours (2pm-10pm). Uber credited me with 2h 30m time, and 55 (mi). Uber gave me $70. At one point, surges were all around me but I only made it into one, for 1.4x! I had SEVEN rides for UNDER $5! So, I GROSSED $8.75/hr BEFORE expenses, which would be $55 (IRS 55¢/mi), or $6.87 per hour - netting $1.88 PER HOUR! I netted about $15. Uber kept about $22!
The problem is how to see their destination before you accept it but the damn thing goes by so fast, I don’t mind shit trips but I do t like ending up going three freeways for many miles without notice, it should say long trip or how many miles because I have to get back home after drop off as well.
This will be great. I won't use it to cancel short rides, I'll use it to travel toward home at the end of the day. Sometimes a PAX will take me a long way from home and this way I can take rides in the direction I need to go. I've asked Uber to give us the ability to do this but they've ignored my requests. Lyft already does it with their destination filter (in some markets).
Chuck Koos It's a great feature!
Uber Man I've been looking at the waybill on all my requests and I'm not seeing the destination, even on rides where the PAX has entered it. All it ever says is, "As directed". Bummer. Android, OC CA.
Does this method still work for seeing rider final destination?
Here in Los Angeles it just says "as directed...." But what I have found is when you are taking a pool ride and it doesn't match with a rider it's most likely a far ride probably 15+ miles.
Thanks for sharing that.
Always supporting ur channel!!!!!!!!!
I'm on an iPhone 6 and if you click the waybill before you "start" the trip the destination ALWAYS says "as directed". My passengers almost always have the destination in there, but it doesn't show until I start the trip. Super annoying.
Uber has been working to "patch" it so we can't see.
This should only be used to be able to input in the nav system in the drivers car. No problem.
+George Smith Agreed
Ok that was good, but what I really need is what I'm told by uber we can set destination so we will only get trips going to one direction like Home. the pic they sent is old. Thanks for all your help
What is the question?
I have tried this many times and on the waybill sections ALWAYS says AS DIRECTED where their destination is listed. It's probably since been fixed to keep this from happening before picking up the passenger. I've only had one passenger not enter their destination.
It still works in some areas. For the most part, it has been patched.
Here's something riders are doing in Jax. They request on a street with a fake house number during a surge. If it's main st for example. And there's a real address of 1234 and 1236. They enter 1235! When u accept the ride, it's shows no surge? But u see there is a surge in that area. It give you the address to a nav too. But, when u tap the area, say to contact the ride. Area that show pickup and destination. You will see that the pickup address is listed as "unknown address" I think the uber computer is confused about the riders actual location so no surge charge is applied. Happened twice to me yesterday. I cancelled both!!
it says to be determined, no matter what
Depends on market.
yes, that's what I get as well. To be determined.
I get as directed.
My problem with why I need this is going to new orleans. My car is an 06 trail blazer, so I'm not allowed to pick people up in new orleans. However, living in metairie makes it to where everyone I pick up want to go to new orleans. So until I get a newer model car I'm expected to drive to new orleans to drop someone off but, then I have to drive all the way back to metaire roughly (11 miles) before I can even ping. Sorry this message sounds stupid its 2:04 am and I don't feel like proofreading.
You're fine! I guess for now, that's how it has to be. :( Sorry.
Oh well I'm getting a newer car in a couple of days. But what a waste of gas and time.
Not related but here goes where can I get those plastic signs with suction cup for free?
It worked for me, I have a S7. Just like you said.
Worked for me on my android last night.
Brian Gittings Great!
As of this year for Conmercial accounts, the waybill says to be directed or something similar for android
I want to be to see the designation before I accept the ping can that happen?
Hey Uber Man. You need to make a video where Uber notifys passengers when the surge is over so they can request, what happens is as you get closer the surge refreshes so you as a driver don't get it, what I do is log off for a couple of minutes get into the area that was surging and it will refresh to a surge log on and sweep the rides on surge
Good idea. I'll try to do one like this in the future. Thanks.
(gasp....fainted)....He spoke to me. You're welcome SuperMan...oops...I meant UberMan. 3 things....(your eyes/your smile/your hands) Your wife is a very fortunate lady....kudos to HER.
I'm fortunate to have her. She is very special to me. Thanks a million.
i have the iphone 6plus and it does work
+Kathi Derseweh Nice!!
Im using an S8+ on my waybill it just said "as directed" now I'm not sure if the passenger have not put the destination yet.
Uber must have caught wind of this, because the Waybill has only ever EVER said "As Directed" for destination.... prior to pick-up.
I thought they added this so we could see if it's worth it to take the trip if I drive 20 mins and only take them a block away it's a waste of gas. Otherwise why even bother checking
I hope this works for me (my phone is an android). I’m driving in Las Vegas and we ARE NOT allowed to go to the airport. Thanks for the info.
+MrBruceSinclair No problem. Thanks for watching.
its terrible that we cant see where the passenger is going!! I sometimes dont want to go far a way!!! so I hope they change it. Thanks for info I will try it.
I drove yesterday about 3km and the rider was going only 350 metres with a shopping bag lol. People just order uber when they are bored or something it's like let's order uber and we will have someone to talk to
I have a Droid. The waybill doesn't show a destination. I've tried it before. Only way to see where you're going to is to accept the ride as soon as you arrive at pickup point. Then you can cancel and split. A friend of mine has Done this. It doesn't help your rating at all but if you don't care about that, then it's all good.
As an Uber passenger it has been my experience that the driver ALWAYS knows the exact destination, even before I get in the car. They usually tell me where I am going, just to confirm it.
I have the same experience. I enter the destination before I request the trip.
Joe...I don't call them. I just enter my pick up point and my destination. I assume the destination shows up on the drivers phone after I plug it in my phone. To my knowledge I cannot request the trip unless I put in my destination.
As a driver, we don't see the destination until we "start the ride" in the app. That should happen once the passenger sits in the car. That's per the rules of Uber & Lyft.
Uber makes passengers believe the driver knows where they are going...however, the driver has no clue of the riders destination. Uber needs to get the boot!
On iPhone you get a map? I use android and all I see is the text of the address entered.
I agree with Ronnie! I don't pick and choose. I'm a driver.job is to get people there ... Near or far.
Thanks UBERMAN good tip, it's probably something I'd use if I was on a lil less than a quarter tank of gas on an hour trip request and near the end of my UBER shift
+Eddy Vasquez No problem, and thank you for watching.
+Eddy Vasquez True there! I had an unexpected request to drive 75 miles away. Since I did not know where she was going. I was "unprepared". I was running low on gas. But got there without needing to stop. Not only that, I was not able to pick up my kids and my wife. From school and work. Because the time. Knocked my schedule off a little. From this point on, I've decided to always be ready at moments notice! I am a week old BTW
I am planning on driving for uber when I get a car and your videos are great
Buy Prius Hybrid, no 1 car for uber or lyft
After poking around on the first day, I figured this out. It's pretty neat but it doesn't show up for most pickups I've had so far. (30 Trips only). It usually says "As Directed.." more often than not. Even on one trip that took me from Queens to the Bx.
Teesh Lallipop They patched it :(
Doesn't show anymore so far as I've seen over this weekend.
It works awesome
Hey Uber Man! This is Dago from Chicago. Thanks for the info! It does work! Im able too see rider's destinition in waybill. Also, Id like to mention that in Chicago, you're able to see passenger's rating if you're not using the "Uber Phone". Drivers have to use their own phone to see pax's ratings.
Dago SellaresTuckler Thanks for commenting, and for watching!
How much did you smoke before this video?
Works in oc ca im on a android. Keep up the good work Randy.
R R Good news! Thank you!
That's funny cause last night I accepted a ride that said 29mins away. On my way there, the passenger called wanting to know if I was coming because she wanted a ride to the convenient store and back, and I said sure. We hung up and shortly after thinking about it, I canceled the ride cause ain't to driver gonna do that to there car for only a few bucks! Soon after I canceled her request, I try texting her right away saying "sorry I'm 30mins away" right before I got a new request, so my text ended up going to the next passenger.
I phone just says as directed
If drivers’ ratings are at their highest status, each ride will show 1) time towards pickup, 2) drive time duration, and 3) estimated paid $$ for every ride. But if any driver’s 1) acceptance rating, 2) cancellations rating, or 3) overall score gets lowered, drivers will NOT be privy to this info.
To the best of my knowledge even looking at the waybill as He suggests will never give you the passenger's destination but rather says something to the effect as destination as directed.
Bon Voyage Transportation
I think Uber found out about this hack and got rid of that info on the Waybill.
Just doing research on maybe trying this part time. Why would it be a secret where a passengers destination is? Why isn't it a requirement for a driver to know where a passenger is going?
On Androids, the Waybill no longer has the destination, and hasn't for the last 2 years.
i think they changed it. because now it says "as directed"
Most markets they did. Some markets it still works. Bummer.
i did try.
I wish this worked the other day when I excepted a ride from Dover Delaware to BWI Airport!! It did say PREMIER ride though.
I will try this my next ride and let you know the results! Thanks UberMan!
I have a question. Am I allowed to travel out of my area or state to drive for Uber? For example could I travel from Pa. to Florida driving for Uber picking up passengers on the way down?
Audrey Sorg: Uber & Lyft drivers only can pickup in anywhere in the State you are licensed in
Love your videos, new to Uber , and you made it easy to just accept a ping! My first night was New Years Eve!
Happy New Year! I'm glad I was able to help you get going! How did you make out NYE?
I am the opposite. I don’t want long drives. I only want short rides. I’m on Long Island. I don’t want to go to Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, etc. I need to know where they are going. Today I picked this guy up and he said he is going to La Guardia. I’m not going all the way over there!! It was at the end of my day to. I cancelled the ride, I don’t care!!
There is and always was a way to see the destination before you get there. Start the trip right before you get there and cancel if you don't like what you see lol
it works on my LG F60
+Abu Ubayd Nice!
It'll be nice for me to know, if I do end up driving for Uber, a passenger's destination, so that I can, before I get to pick up the passenger, where I will be taking him or her. That said, it isn't inevitable I will be driving for Uber, given the expensive infrastructure required (e.g. a vehicle costing at least US$30,000 after taxes, in the case of most UberBlack vehicles).
Suggestion
..dont start if you are agai at worst case of digital slavery...today I made 47$... I started at 5:25 am and first ride I got was around 10am... when I called support the guy who.may be new gave me information that no one ever does that my car was only eligible for uber eats and disabled for passengers without any notification or my knowledge.... like idiots I was on road....I have been driving since 2016...even yesterday I had passengers... i will be looking soon for a lawyer
this only works for pool rides in san Francisco
there are times where i ask riders where they are going.. late night when im about to leave for home. if they are heading to north where i live, i take them if not i tell them to request another driver.. if they are not willing to tell me where they are going then i cancell on them because i don.t want go to the otherside of the city and drive back to home an hour lool. it sucks....
wooow that would be amazing. thanks denis lara for the info.
i think this trick does not work anymore denis.
+Denis Lara I was wishing for such a thing! Especially since I have Metromile insurance. It seems the only time I get people going in the direction I live is when I'm NOT ready to go home! Lol!

Tracy Allen
Yes it works I just did it
wishbone20t Great!!
thanks for all the videos you make Uber Man. i can see uber being revamped in the near future. especially if they want to keep up with competition. i can see them adding features such as...passengers destination address, the option to tip, and a lower rate requirement for drivers to have to maintain (maybe 4 stars). one can only dream right?
imreal forever Please, continue to dream! Dreams are what got us where we are today my friend!
how do you know what passenger leaves a 5 star comment?
+mark elliot You can't.
+Uber Man thanks for the reply!. ..I've been watching videos they are very informative my driver rating is a 4.96 over 60 trips...thanks for all your help!
Doesn't work on the Android app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 5. The destination says "as directed" until you begin the trip.
I would think that looking in the way Bill but it says customers chosen destination so way Bill is not good I love ur videos
I'm going to try this with my iphone4
+Eddie Sandoval It may not work anymore. For a few it still does, but for most it was patched.
Tried it on iphone4
Does not work anymore, lol. I was thinking maybe with the old phone platform it might still work.
I just started doing Uber. I really think that for all the percentage Uber takes. They should come out with a better system to protect Uber drivers. For instance being able to see the destination. It gives a driver an assortment of safety. Instead of driving into the wolves mouth.
This works for me on my Android in Sacramento - CA market
+Albert Shevchuk Nice!
I'm starting to think uber sucks as far as fares since new year with what seems like reduced fare, I can make more money with Lyft. But that's just my 2cents
Fast forward in time FOUR years. It's now called ScrUber and Gryft.
Uber man always looking forward to watching ur new and old videos
