Driving For Uber, Sleeping In Her Car (HBO )

- čas přidán 18. 12. 2016
- On Wednesday at 2:30 AM, Uber driver Terri White left her home in Stockton, California, and drove 83 miles to San Francisco for work. She wouldn’t be home until Friday afternoon. White naps in her car between rush hours and heats up her lunch at a local gas station. She says one in five Uber drivers she meets sleeps in their car.
“I love people, I love being able to breathe the air, I’m not confined to a desk, and I can do what I want,” White told VICE News correspondent Nellie Bowles. “I don’t have to wait for someone to relieve me for a break or a lunch, I just do it.” Uber’s biggest competitor, Lyft, locks drivers out of the platform after they’ve worked 14 hours in a day. Uber does not.
Watch what its like to be an Uber driver in a city you can't afford to live in.

CZcams comments were a mistake. it's nothing but trash.
This has to be one of your saddest pieces, it shows the state in which this country is going in
TRUMP WILL SAVE US
MizTerri don't need saving by NOBODY !!
Lol, I hope this is irony. Otherwise..you poor blind fool.
I HAD THAT LADY AS A UBER DRIVER TOO
dang she was really nice too
Hey Boy ... Dang, 'hope you gave her a "really nice" tip!🤣
Go back and tip her some more
C Mac I tipped her around 25 dollars
@@vic-cb1dp #respect💯
She was banned for doing another interview a few weeks ago against Ubers rules. Good riddance to her. Shouldn’t have broke the rules dummy. More rides for me.
That shell manager is the real VIP heating up her meal for her and letting them sleep in the parking lot.
Shelly York if I were the shell manager I would allow them to sleep there only long enough for them to get a real job lol
Yes and you would think that Walmart would give this luxury back to the working truck driver who spends between 3 and 5 hours waiting for Walmart to load or unload their trailers. Instead drivers are now told to leave and are being treated like BUMS!!!
@@yodambomb4974 that is a real job. You think your safe with you 9-5 u can lose that job nothing is promised 2 U. Exp i work in bank bern there for years everyone just got pin slip branch closing. Had nothing to do with me or my co-workers. Just business your replaceable bomb..your no better than ths woman a job is a job no matter what type. You puy in the work and hours to mame money.
lady o you’re also forgetting or to stupid to realize this woman’s already lost her job at Uber as sleeping in your vehicle is 100% against company policy. If you don’t have a residence Uber will fire you and if they find out you’re sleeping in your car multiple days a month you will be fired. Glad you think you can manipulate a company and not follow any policies and do whatever you want but that’s not how the world works.
@@joshlarochelle1298 No one cares
Well, this wasn't as depressing as I thought was gonna be after reading the title. Sounds like she's happy doing what she's doing, kudos to her.
Jared Banks Same !
True, but what kind of life is that? She can't possibly be that happy with it
This is pretty naive. She cannot be satisfied with her living doing this. It's a shame that so many people have to resort to doing something like this just to survive.
As for people in the world are..
She's very polite but I can guarantee you she's not happy doing that.
God bless her and her family. Mom's will stop at nothing to feed their family.
scott sanger Not only single mothers it’s Absent Dads who refuse to take care of their kids as well.
Amen to that, nothing stops mother's, most of fathers will
My husband work now and then. Therefor, he helped babysit and l went out and made the 💰💵.it worked out fine. God Bless him.
Rocío Celeste Quiroga thanks. I could always a 5th grade health class lesson.
Damn right ❤️💯
This lady has such good work ethic I wish nothing but the best for her.
Ellow this job will kill your health ex uber driver. Now a real estate agent.
working for uber is not ethical.
Rivera juiceBar What?? How can your health be killed by being a damn "uber driver"? Imbecile.
I’d give her a fifty dollar tip, because I’m sorry that job schedule of hers deserves more money.
Nothing to do with her ethic. It is pathetic that a woman like her has to do this. What a waste for society
I bet she gives the best hugs.
Eric Cheese She has beautiful energy.
You're disgusting. She's a hard working woman who provides for her family.
Lemons19902010 Eric is tight, she's in the top 5 when it comes to quality!
Heavy Heavy blessing to you for navigating a way to take care of your love ones. Respect!
Yeah I couldn't do this job I am a grumpy and pessimistic person she seems very upbeat and friendly like literally nothing could ruin her day.
-title makes it seem like shes homeless
VlogsbyMe lmfao
Still accurate
Saibal Ghosh there are many things you are not taking into account, if you take everything into account 50/hour isn’t amazing, not that it’s that bad though
50 an hour..... I’d sleep in my car too.
yellow guerrillas right😂😂😂
@@anthonysmith7787 you can tell youre not realistic and will be hurt when you see a pay stub lmao
srthellcat707 she drives a Toyota reliability and all that so nah you tripping bro
@srthellcat707 no way is this lady gonna end up paying taxes. I've been doing independent contractor work for years and by the time you deduct expenses you aren't taxed. Way better then working for the man for nothing. I'll never take a regular job again.
@Guess Who and regular jobs don't do that? Come to Michigan and talk to some GM workers.
She honestly seems like such a nice lady :)
Nicest
Think so too
Ooo yes hared worker
Yes, she does!
She probably is, what a crappy world we live in
I visited SF early last year and Terri was one of my drivers, so strange to see her on here! Honestly, she was even nicer and friendlier than she comes across in this piece.
You can shower at truck stops. Can non truckers shower for a small fee. A lot of eople sleep in their vehicles all the time.
STFU u lying out yo ass
Anyone can shower at truck stops, but finding one in the bay area with showers will be near impossible with her schedule. Probably a few hour drive.
When I slept in my car, I took showers at the local gym after working out. There are ways around not having the convenience of a bathtub.
texan903 I dont think she works out at the local gym
I had her as an Uber driver, she was extremely nice
I would advise her to get some window shades and to also lock her car and windows before taking naps
Definitely tint her windows. Safety.
That was just for the camera 😁
u sure do know alot about sleeping in cars. Hmm....
Kamrul08 yea because that’s unsafe
You actually think she doesn't lock the car?
Providing for her family by being a hard worker nothing but respect for her
Katie Lynn that’s how my mom was a good mom will hustle like this for there fam and have a smile
no respect to the system that makes it necessary
respect for this woman, making money for the family
Midnight Hour Gaming good woman
Not anymore Uber decided to ban her for making this video and changed their policies. you are no longer allowed to sleep in you car.
BewareTheIdes wtf did they really ban her? So she's not driving anymore??????
+Robbie Hernandez Yup, they sure did. And frankly, I see no problem with it. It made Uber look bad. She also violated Uber's policies, she needed to get permission to do this documentary while working. Uber would have likely said no.
First off you have no proof she was banned. Second you are not an expert on Uber's policies. Third you have no idea what Uber would sat about the documentary, they might have enjoyed it.
Bruuuh when she pulled out the bonnet thoo 💀
Ikr! Lol
😂😂😂
We do not play when it comes to wrapping our hair!
come on, you know a sista is gonna put on a bonnet.
@@GregKeane why??
OMGGG she was my uber!!! She's super sweet and i could talk to her for hours :)
When she took the bonnet out that’s when I knew she wasn’t playing!
Lmao
Dangerouskoala 🤣
Right lol
🤣⚰
Exactly
The title made me think she was homeless or something. She's having just naps.
IglooDweller she is in a way. She has nowhere else to lay her head in that town
gospelevans yeah but she has a place that she rents so technically she isnt.
Same lol. They got me.
But she stays there for a couple days before going home again I think, so the fact she's just napping makes it worse imo.. No real sleep for a couple days, just naps in the car and work, work, work, then home for a break, then back at it again.
Worse than homelessness? lol
If I ever win millions of dollars I will find this lady so she can retire.
I hope that God blesses you so that you can bless others.
Claim it!🙌🏽
Sure.
@@gigiotopogigio8931likewise. Thank you.
Amela Okanovic are u Serbian
This lady has such good spirits, she genuine with a will to feed her family. God bless
When she brought the hair bonnet out I knew she meant business lol
Cocó I hollered at your comment
Word
🤣 Hahahahahaha
Is that to stop her hair messing up at the back as she sleeps. Does it really work? Cuz I need something, even a nap and my hair is frazzled back there
Lol 😂🤣
My utmost respect to this hard working lady.
Do you realize she could work instead at McDonald's and make more per hour (around $10) than with this ripoff Uber company?! Yes ripoff, they pay you so little that by the time you factor in the cost of the car, gas, maintenance, food, etc. you're left with peanuts!
Bill A if she works at mcdonalds she will only get about half her wage with taxes
Trihard working
What happened to working SMARTER not harder???! She is NOT going about this in a logical or safe manner! She drives 83 miles? How much gas is that? And WHAT iss she doing about hygiene and bathing and brushing her teeth for several days??? It is not safe to be sleeping in your car especially in SF and being a FEMALE!! It also does not appear she is getting enough exercize. She is probably at risk for diabetes and high blood pressure. What is she doing about eat nutritionally correct for food?? And she does not have a regular sleep cycle. SURELY there is smarter, safer way for her to get a job. I get she does not want to sit at a desk...but stilll..
@Bina Walburn Exactly! None of this makes any sense. At this rate she will work herself into an early grave, either by getting into an accident from working without sufficient rest, picking up strange people and sleeping in her damn car in public. She bought into the Uber propaganda about being autonomous in her work environment while still earning a good wage. She needs to realize that it isn't worth working for Uber. She was better off working in the call center. I think the people who applaud her are mistaking being hard working for being desperate.
When she said I do this for my family, my eyes is full of tears. What a great mom who did everything for her family.
She's not homeless! This is misleading.
It didn't say homeless. That's how clickbait titles work. As misleading as possible without being a lie.
Shes not homosexual!
The title is absolutely accurate. It's just ambiguous as well
I hope everything works out for her she seems like a great person.
ethical people dont' drive illegal taxi.
Wow, wow, wow. Such a compassionate, strong woman for her and her family.
Jonathon Dunn I live in a third world country and I get paid only 150$ per month I work 7 days per week without rest day as a waitress and I am always in my feet for 8 hours and 30 min so stop whining what she is doing over there is my life goal

Working in a call center will make you want to do ANYTHING else.
Not me, I like it 🤷🏼♀️
I used to like people, then I started working in a call center.
Ain't that the truth.
wanda you crazy - 17 years? you must be a great wife, you put up with crap for years
@@firstnamenicole Call center is honestly okay work, especially when you get into the higher positions. But starting out is a pain in the ass most of the time.
I'm a uber driver and I rarely sleep in my car, but this documentary does accurately depict the utter exhaustion that uber drivers do face

PLEASE DONT FORGET TO TIP YOUR UBER DRIVERS.
Jamie Alycee Davis And not $1.00 either!!!!!!
Jamie Alycee Davis sometimes it’s really hard for me to tip. Especially more than one dollar.
@@Ang3lBag3l Then don't use the service if you can't even afford a tip
dokidokiheart why do I HAVE to tip??
dokidokiheart exactly why I don’t tip most of the time. People like you EXPECT them.
wtf would be embarassing about that? that's called hustle. you see cabbies doing it all the time if you're from a major city
TRUE.
/ there is nothing to be embarrassed bought this
Exactly she has a home. The hustle is real...
that's that, I'm an independent IT guy, when I had to build new business from scratch my whole last year looked like sleeping 3 hours constantly or working 2 days in a row with 5 hours of sleep... lots of people have no idea about hustle that's why they never build big things or make big money x) they are simply too lazy / weak to experience that kind of productiveness
Exactly
Hustle hard mama!!!
No she's hustling backwards.

$50 an hour isn’t bad until you realize you have to pay for car maintenance, gas, bills, etc.
Shes been doing it for years, so it must be worth it for her.
Exactly. The miles are gonna pile up on her car very quick.
She has a Prius those miles are not that much
50$ an hour maybe before 2016. They've since altered the pay and take 45% of the Fare. Maybe in certain cities like SF at specific TIMES. But mostly Noone is getting 50 an hour.
Being a partner at a law firm isn’t bad until you realize you have to buy suits, a nice car, get your haircut frequently, etc. See how that makes no sense? Find me a job that pays well that doesn’t involve paying for things. Tradesmen buy tools, which is just one thing but someone like you seems like you wouldn’t understand how much those cost. Mechanics usually end up paying for about 40-60K in tools while making 35-45K in their first year of their careers. Uber is not the most expensive job one has to use their own money to pay for their tools, and $50 an hour is not bad at all.
Actually, this lady is very smart and making decent money. Not low class at all she just saves more by sleeping in the car while she's away from home.
Rachel Smith How are you able to judge whether she's making good money or not? I didn't hear anything about how much she makes; just $50/hr. during rush hours. How much is she making at other times? What are her vehicle costs? The IRS mileage allotment for 2018 is $0.545/mile. I don't believe she's making much money; else she wouldn't live in Stockton, while driving in SF. If she made decent money she could at least afford to live closer.
Pheckphul All I know from my dad being an Uber driver is that they make good money.
Pheckphul she isn't living in San Fran because its expensive and its san fran. If I was a billionaire I wouldn't live there either.
With respect to your comment about what your dad makes as an Uber driver, that is irrelevant, and has no bearing on what this person is making. Where is he a driver, and what does he consider "good money?" If person were making "good money" she could afford to live closer to SF (go re-read my comment, I said "live closer," not IN SF); she wouldn't be spending the weekdays away from her children and sleep/live in her car. If she were making "good money," she could afford to live at least in the East Bay and be an easy commute from SF.
As for not living in SF were you a "billionaire;" SF has indeed seen better days, and gentrification is a problem for low-income individuals. And again, your statement is subjective, and has no bearing on this unfortunate mother who is no doubt spending so much time away from her family because of her income. However, I'd be interested to know where you live in order to compare how living in SF as a billionaire would compare. Additionally, what experience do you have with SF that gives you this opinion?
Maybe she DOESNT want to move to SF? It doesn't sound like she's complaining she seems like she enjoys what she does. And obviously works in that areas because that's where she makes more money. Kids or not, she's a hard worker nothing wrong with sleeping in your car for a few days. She ain't going hungry? She ain't cold? And after a few days away she goes back home and has a break. I thought that was normal 🤷🏽♀️ I see normal cab drivers sleep in their cars outside their cab station waiting for customers all the time 😂 she also decides when she wants to nap. When she wants to eat. When she wants to work. Everybody just wanna be a lazy House wife . Go get your hands dirty 🤷🏽♀️
Get some tinted windows, you'll sleep easier and have more privacy. Get a windshield folding screen for added protection.
Rumpa Stiltskin thanks
As you can see, she parks her car in some of the safest areas in SF, that is not the hood. But you never know..... I do agree if she sleeps in there she should get tinted windows for privacy, I wouldn't want some random people to be looking at me while I sleep lol.
Rumpa Stiltskin or make your own tinted windows*cough cough*
Even going to the laundry mat I will recline and rest for a while. Once I closed my eyes for like two minutes i res and when I opened them some creeper was staring down at me. The look on my face let him know I wasn't very happy on having some strange dude watch me relax. It's happened to me three times. People veg out in their cars sometimes. Leave us alone!
Unless You always want to get stop by the cops and/or get a ticket then I don’t think that’s a good idea
For those who are in the back of the room ................. she’s not homeless, she travels to SF to work, and she take naps in her car while working.
She has gorgeous teeth! Odd thing to pint out, but she seems like such a sweet soul. Good for her❤️ wish her every blessing in life.
My teeth aren't bad but they aren't the best so I notice nice teeth also.
Terry voice is so calming. . like Asmr. I wish her nothing but positive vibes
LIVE from St. Louis it not a asmr
I know right! Angelic
She does have very warming voice... i hope a good company in stockton would watch this and hire her as a permanent postion with benefits so she quits that uber scam!
I slept in the back of my store for 2 and a half years. I saved a little over $100,000 and put that down on a beautiful new home. Smartest thing I've ever done! Good for you Terri!

Respect she doesn’t even complain
Brianna Johnson why would you its a job
She's really ingenious. Rent is ridiculously high in San Fran, so they pay workers accordingly. She's taking advantage of the high cost of living without having to live there.
She’s such a wholesome person, I’m so happy that this is working out for her.
Truckers do it all the time...many times they actually will have to pull over and sleep or they could get in trouble for driving for too long.
and Uber drivers feel they deserve the same pay
@@europeanamerican4253 uber drivers would be completely and utterly fucked if satellites went down and their GPS didn't work lol. Truckers know their way across the country better than most uber drivers know their way around a town.

83 miles for work?? The struggle is real out there! Give this woman a 30 min documentary
83 miles for work isn’t that long

She doesn’t have to drive all that way she can uber wherever she wants she lives in Cali
83 miles = 166 round trip. That could be a lot during rush hour!

I wish for the best for this woman. She seems some likable and sweet, really family-devoted person.
First off I don’t like how they are trying to make this depressing. She clearly loves what she does! And is happy. I take naps in my car on my lunch breaks at work all the time. What’s the difference? Kudos to anyone that can break the normality society has us following! You go girl! ❤️❤️
Why would she be embarrassed man, this woman is amazing she should get an award for this. Being embarrassed to sleep in her car between working 15 hours a day? Nah girl you keep your head up HIGH you're taking care of your whole family and working hard af you're an amazing woman!
Nobody feels like driving back in forth to san Francisco
i hear that
we all has to do what we must to take care are own.

Cozmic Romance she’s not playing 😩🤣😂
I think the title of the video wanted to attract disdain for people to be up in arms when in reality after watching I feel nothing but praise and prayers for this awesome woman and all other drivers out there trying to do the best for themselves and their families. This woman is a real life entrepreneur that shows you you dont have to be tied down anywhere to make it in life. She took the resources she has and is making it work for her and her family. Like she stated she now has even the ability that when her family needs her she doesnt have to make the heartwrenching decision to be fearful to lose her job, or be there for them. God bless girl!
She's probably making the most you can make driving for Uber. In SF the prices are the highest in the country, and she's driving during peak hours, and using a hybrid vehicle. She's an Uber MVP. I think if Uber allowed tips, she'd probably be able to cut significant hours off her shifts.
No tipping is the best part bout Uber to me. I hate feeling obligated to tip. They doing their job nd I'm already paying for the service.
yuriydee No one says you're obligated. There's a new ride app in NYC called "Juno"; when your rate your driver the max 5 stars, it asks, "How about a tip?".. No harm in that. But the obligatory tipping at bars and restaurants is kinda lame, I agree.
Cam F Not sure why, kinda unfair especially when they're making so little.
Wow, minimum wage makes your more money? That's insane, especially when you consider the extra money and effort to keep up with the car. Why the heck don't they have a tip option?! At least!
I know. Gas is the worst. People like to show you their earnings before tax, and before they deduct the gas money from it too. I guess you could make ok, money like some have said. Living in a very busy city at weekends. But again. Gas is a nightmare unless you have the right car and wait about A LOT.
And of course the sorry ass 'reporter' had to put the drivers on blast about sleeping in their cars to an administrator. Hope the company doesn't impose a policy that screws the drivers out of their hours now.
mikeal jeffries I was saying the same thing! Why did she have to report these instances to Uber in a public televised piece? Now Uber will do what Lyft does and restrict her from working more than 8-12hrs at a time to limit their liability in an accident due to sleep deprivation.
mikeal jeffries EXACTLY my thoughts!!!
mikeal jeffries tbh i get the feeling that the company already knew but just didnt care. its more labor and money in their pockets :/
John Doe yeah which is what they should do, or would you rather a sleep deprived uber driver cross the divider and hit a bus full of kids or cross the line in front of a 18 wheeler on highway, when they nodded off because uber doesn't limit the driving hours, like every other self respecting company does to their drivers on the road. Or maybe just crash into a retaining wall and kill the passengers.
To graphic? We solved this major issue once with logs for long haul drivers. If people can't honestly see this becoming a issue because these are smaller cars, that's a super dense thought process.
In NYC every driver I have already has Uber, lyft, and 1/2 more always running. A time restraint on uber would not even be a issue, they would just run them staggered like that are already doing and literately drive all night. Even Yellow cab drivers are also running lyft/uber on the side.
mikeal jeffries
They just did..

Going to watch the full episode but my biggest concern is her health. Sitting in a car for the amount of time is not going to be good, I hope she at least get out and stretch every hour for 5 min.
apoun79 exactly
apoun79 I'm a part-time Uber driver but I used to be full-time. what I notice especially when I was full-time was my weight and health, my body was basically changing because I was forever sitting in my car and not in a good way. Sitting down for long periods of time also weighs on your bottom which is very uncomfortable after a while.
apoun79 Not to mention unhealthy eating at gas stations.
1Drummer Did you pay attention to the video? She prepares meals at home and heats them up at gas stations. She doesn't buy food from gas stations.
andrxw microwaves are not safe as well. any job sitting for that long is damaging to your health.
She has such a good spirit you can just feel it.
She looks really nice. hope everythnings go well for her
Stay safe sweet lady!♡

give it to me baby
Why did I just shed a tear? Gotta respect her. Working hard to survive. No excuses
This Terri Lady seems so nice and polite someone i’d love to be friends with! :)
Truly amazing work ethic. Humble, polite, and doesn't have the time or desire to complain, just doing what's best for her family I'm sure great things will come her way.
this isn't Uber fault this is San Fran and its cost of living
What a lovely person. Respect and best wishes
I absolutely love her. She is so tender and seems like such an incredibly great person!!
As much as I love this woman, her work ethic, and her kindness, I would love a follow up of this piece. I see clips of this lady all the time, but Uber and all the gig economy stuff kept lowering pay. About a year after the pandemic hit, it just never paid that well. I personally stopped even using these apps as aide hustles a few montjs ago because it just stopped paying well enough for me to try.
Same
When she pulled out that bonnet! 👏🏽👏🏽😭 Terri is me, I am Terri. lmao
BAHAHAHAHA! RIGHT?!
Just reading the title of this video- I’m typing this...
Lord please keep her safe and bless her so that she only does Uber if she really desires too ...
Valarie Cole omg stfu
@@katiebayliss9887 you're being very mean and disrespectful. Valerie Cole is praying for this woman and you're telling her to stfu. She knows the danger of sleeping in a car. She's not condeming this lady job but just asking the Lord for his protection over her. Lighten up. It's not that serious!
How are you doing good looking😘
Michael Harley and you're a 9 year old.
Jo Ragl oh I'm so mean oof.
This is heartbreaking she seems like a great person
This was LITERALLY my life in 2016 doing Uber, living in my car and commuting to the city to drive, but in NYC/NJ/Philly, except that there was no apartment for me 83 miles away. LOL My car was the apartment.
Uber should help have discounts on hotels
Well usually people don't drive over 80 miles to drive/work. But that area has a lot of customers. $50 an hour... shiiit I would.
eh truck drivers do this all the time, you'd be surprised what people would be willing to put up with for a decent paycheck
mario barrera great idea, and Uber should make your suggestion ideal, like make it happen, and Uber should pay for the hotels, because if she isn’t making so much money, (but they must be, and don’t care how many hours she drives, wanting to compete, and maybe wanting to be the best competitor, who is winning financially,) and she is using her car, and has to care for the maintenance on it. People need to share more of the wealth.
The whole point of the “gig economy” is labor without regulations or benefits. That’s why they advertise it as a “side hustle” and not a tangible occupation.
mario barrera yess Uber should have a hub for drivers to rest, heat food, watch tv, chill etc. but Uber is too greedy of a company to consider that smh
I also worked in a call center and was micro managed down to every second. I don’t work for Uber like her, but now I’m self-employed and have crazy hours that total well more than 40/week. But I agree with her: it beats having someone breathe down your back every minute.
Agree!! I worked in two different call centers it's the worst!! Lol
Yes Call Centers will make you hate work completely. Its maybe the easiest but the most micro managed and irritating.
God bless honest living and there's nothing wrong with that is admirable
Please, film a follow up on Terri!!! She is inspiring!! 🙏🏾💐🙌🏾👏🏾💜
@Brett, lol, the irony....you are replying to 1 in a billion stranger . Why do you care what an internet stranger wants?!
she reminds me of my mother kind and hardworking
Same as my mother
Guhhh i died when she put that bonnet on 🤣
Vernadria Davis Right
She ain't playing!
Vernadria Davis lol, getting her sleep on
I swear
Why did she do that? Her hair was shit to begin with. Maybe she wanted keep it like shit hoping she get more tips? I mean it was bad even for a blacky.
People complain about their jobs.. this lady provides for her family and goes beyond what a lot of people would do. Wish her the best and should make people thankful for jobs they have.
Great work ethic and great personality. Hope she has a great life.
