- Crazy gouging that only conversions can help with.
Without the support of those that BELIEVE that this channel gives you vital information to their true success (and not a level FAKE app-success in real life), I'd be driving more and spending time editing these videos much less! Thank you for believing in me and the way we're doing logistics and contracting!

Took a Lyft passenger to San Francisco airport for $29 which is much better than normal with some surge. Passenger paid $67. Lyft took 57% of the fare. I turned the passengers on to signing up for the Yride app that just started in San Francisco area this weekend. It is similar to HUM but you don't need the livery insurance (not available in CA). The price to the airport on Yride was $36. They are signing up. I am just waiting for my car to be approved. Uber/Lyft have gouged themselves out of the market and they are going to pay now. 500 drivers signed up in the first few days.
Please let me know how YRides goes! Let's go!! Get out there and make it happen, brotha. I'm glad you're talking to the riders, as you are helping the community from these crooks at the Big 2 apps. We are the last line of defense against corporate America. We the 300, and we don't back down. STAY UP, brotha!
I got at $27 surge Friday night. The ride was 2 to pick up then 28 miles to Old Town,$40, wtf? I took it. Asked the rider what they paid, he said $107. We settled on $80 Zelle and his buddy handed me a $20. I did 15 rides that night, $300. Bye Uber!!
LMAOOOOOOO! Yeah, they out here thinking WE getting all that money. TALK TO YOUR RIDERS, folks! Right here is the way to go!
That's how you do it. They trying to keep 60% for providing a customer lead. That's BS.
@TEAMWRIGHTEOUS finders fees shouldn't be no more than 15%. Then bill us for insurance without marking it up. That's fair. But these shady ass companies will find a way to rip off drivers and riders both.
@@MicDropBBQ $40 for 30 miles with a $27 surge doesn’t surprise me any longer(it’s absurd none the less) but that’s a great scenario to convert because you know the rider is getting hosed. I’m selecting the lowest Quest because I can find 20-25 decent rides on fri & sat. Dude, I didn’t even burn half a tank and grabbed $300 on Friday and it’s slowing down big time, way too many drivers out there for the demand even with the two stadium concerts. Gonna be a rough summer for the pigeons.
@@MicDropBBQ right... Like when I flipped that 2.5 hour ride the other day from $150 to $250... Why does Lyft need $100 for me doing everything? They should get $25 and let me get the rest. $25 should be the cap on fees.
This country has been totally subverted. Half of the gig workers I interact with don’t speak a full sentence of English. Amazing that the government is just letting this happen.
Yup. The Replacement Theory and the transition of wealth AWAY from Americans to other countries is what's going on right now. And this administration is getting paid under the table to let it all happen.
I am talking with a person running for congress in my district and exposing what Uber is doing to its drivers in front of him. The biggest thing for him is that Uber is stealing 40-70% of the fare.
Nice!!! Glad you're talking to people who actually listen. Let's see if they are like Mass and call these apps out for racketeering!
The Uber surge changes every six minutes, if you can’t make it within 6 minutes save your fuel. Great video Jeff, look forward to the next one 💯💯💰💰
Yup! The chase doesn't always make sense! Timing is everything!
it literally stayed on the screen and then went to 25$ but never got put on my screen
If you click the big dollar amount you want to go to, it'll stay longer. I've got 2 phones and have watched it change on the one that's off while I'm still going to one.
As soon as I end the GPS trip, it'll update and remove it. So I just turn x back on and let it start sending me rides until I get the one I want.
Only thing is, you never know when you've gotten the big one if you don't start getting pings.
Not Jared from Subway, haha😂😂😢😂
LMAOOOOOOOO! Man, these folks be having some names. LOL!
@@MicDropBBQI'll never forget the time I got a ride request from "Uber Support." You would think Uber would have stopped fake names on the app right then! That was over 3 years ago in Vegas!
The message that says "such as commercial insurance" is the "booking fee." Riders pay the booking fee and that goes direct to Uber/Lyft first. Commercial insurance is MANDATED BY THE STATES. This is NOT part of drivers' "earnings." Drivers do not "earn" a booking fee, which INCLUDES AMOUNT FOR MANDATED COMMERCIAL INSURANCE. See the deception? Drivers EARN their income from distance/time on trip plus tips and any bonuses apps give drivers for playing their games. Like being in side a video game.
Yup. They are saying we EARNED money by paying for a mandatory insurance fee that's MARKED UP by whatever the apps choose to sell it for that ride.
We live in a sad time where people default to these apps. Literally I tell customers "here's my card if you'd like to retain my service. If you have a driver that you prefer, lives closer, whatever the situation maybe please get their card too or convince them to print out their cards." So many people they take your card, they put it in their phone, but when they need a ride they're hardwired to Uber first Lyft second or vise versa
Those are the same people that think you're an "on call" driver who will go, "...hey, can you come pick me and my friends up?" at like 230am when it's surging like crazy - and you're 30mins away. They want you to drive to them so they don't have to pay $60 to go 10 miles, but they're willing to pay you $30. LOL!
I tell my clients to let me know if they are going out so I can be in that area when the bars close. If the bars close and they're stuck paying a high fare because I'm far away, I hope they find a driver willing to negotiate. Most people are not business people and the internet taught people to be "last minute" and very entitled to get what they want WHEN they want it.
@@MicDropBBQ chances are strong I'm already out and my 2am-4:30am policy is "what's it worth to ya" lol I drove taxi and we closed at exactly 2am I know the way by ❤️. These Uber here drop off around 1:30am Friday and Saturday and around 11pm every other night so I know when i gotta be competitive and when i got them at my mercy. Lyft is a city app. People come here for college or whatever and use it for a little while and quickly learn there really are no Lyft drivers here.
Yeah, I recently had to actually block somebody who treated me like an on-call person and had me waiting outside of weird places…. Private passengers should be somebody that you have a schedule with basically or at least at the decency to give you notice….. it should be a lot extra if you’re already home in your pajamas if you go out in the middle of the night and get somebody that should be a lot extra
@@ElleArthur A. I'm in a large town and not a city B. I'm in an infancy stage. As I grow i plan to phase out people like that. I'm thinking of going totally legit and getting registered with the state. After I do, I'm going to setup on Google map and get some custom car magnets. Just need to get caught up on the bills first and of course come up with the $. If that doesn't increase $ enough Im looking into taxi apps, but I think that's an expensive way to go for me. Kids today 18-35 sadly are timid and lazy and they don't want to deal with people to get rides setup. Looking at cheap ways to breakthrough that barrier. I'm optimistic though, college is out and I'm staying afloat so I think when school starts I'll be a really good place
Brother what you need to do is start to set up a co-op where you got a number of other drivers that will give you the ability to service your customers even when you're not available or nearby them. I'm going to support what you're doing by never ever using Uber Lyft or any of those services that take advantage of the people that are actually providing the service. I find it absolutely disgusting that doordash would charge $12-15 dollars to deliver something and give the driver $2 and expect them to hope for a decent tip to compensate for their greed.
We kinda got that going on, but it's more like a team we have that's always willing to step up for each other. Yup. I agree with everything you said. You're on the front edge or getting off the plantation. It's gonna take some effort to get teams willing to handle a region together.
The Scams Just Keep Coming:
-accepted a ride for $8, 13 to pickup, 3 to dropoff
-instantly changes to $7, 15 to pickup, 5 to dropoff
i didnt agree to those terms!
These apps are quick to pull fast ones!!
Just sit and screenshot your offer that you accepted first and the info that comes with the offer. After you arrive at destination, screen shot the results before completing the ride and show your rider the results. Sometimes you can't TELL THEM... you have to SHOW THEM! Then give them your business card. People today are looking for honesty and people they can trust. These apps have been dividing people and destroying trust for a long time. Time to put Unity back in CommUnity!
Remind the riders that the apps don't care about either driver or rider, so that's why we have to care about each other!
🙏🇺🇸🙏🌎
Some guys take that trash 🗑️
I try to imagine a scenario where it's better for them somehow.
In my market, lyft is INSANE greedy during high surge events. lyft will offer drivers an extra $2 or $3 or maybe $10-$15 on a longer trip... meanwhile they're charging the rider an extra $100-$150+
🎯 🎯 🎯 🎯 that's why we know surge ain't for the drivers. It's all a mind game. We see pink and $5 and the riders get charged 3x what they would normally pay. We get a few bucks more, as the surge becomes part of the fare. It's almost never "extra".
I found something out you mayy want to share, when a pax cancels on lyft after the alotted time lyft does not pay you, but when you go to the trip and hit the fare review it will correct it and then pay you, they are scamming millions of dollars by drivers not following up because it should be automatic
I think you're right. They do this shit a lot. They'll cancel and there will be $0.00 payment to me. Been happening for years, man. They always say "trip not eligible for cancellation fee" or some shit. Never fails. That's why I have no problem converting rides. I'm done being played by tech. We're transportation. The war is on.
@@MicDropBBQ yeh but when you go and click to have it reviewed or what ever instantly says you qualify and gives you the 2 bucks, but no one ever does, scammers
From my experience, Lyft Black is different. I hit 7 % cancellation rate and was suspended. I am back on now.
I was on XL all night. I don't decline Black rides.
This last weekend I was declining so much trash left and right. Uber kept sending me $7 or less rides. I accidently accepted one of them ($6.14 to drive 4 miles and 18 minutes), but I didn't want to get out of my chair at home. Rider calls me asking why I am not moving after waiting 5 minutes, I asked him how many riders, he said 3 and I told him I can't take 3 ppl in my Acura for $6. The rider got all mad when I told them they can take the bus for $2/per rider and Uber charging them $14 for me to take them to where they needed to go. I cancelled and got penalized. Then Uber has the audacity to ping me that same rider after cancelling them, this time the same ride was offered at $5.70!! WTF?
LMAOOOOOOOOO!!! Riders will pay more in FEES than they'll pay for a ride. That's how stupid this shit is. Imagine going to the grocery store to buy $20 worth of food, but the store charges you $40, saying HALF is fees for buying the groceries. That's how rideshare is becoming and people can't even see that they're being TAXED and they're calling this tax, "fees". Who the hell paying over 100% in taxes on a transaction? If you buy something for $6 and you're taxed at 8%, then you pay $6.48 for it. But these folks buying rides for $6, but paying $14 for them...and got the nerve to ask us WHY we're not doing it for the $6 price? LOL! Doubt it! Pay me the $14 and we'll talk.
Jeff my homeboy. I always enjoy your energy hard work earned
Thank you, Ms Jimmy Lau! I'm ramping up for an AMAZING livestream coming up tomorrow or Wednesday. This is gonna be GOOD! I am actually hyped for it!
i went up to a 23$ surge once rushing to get there and the damn app didn’t even give it to me even though it stayed red it was like a fake surge
Seen that happen before...yup! I think you should be able to send a screen shot in and get the surge as an adjustment!
@@MicDropBBQ i should of done that next time i will cause they made it 25$ and still never showed
Uber suspended my account because i got a ticket for parking in the wrong direction on a one way street. It was my only moving violation in the past 9 years. Sad thing is, I haven't gone to court for the ticket yet.
That sounds preposterous
Parking is a non-moving violation. You're parked.
How does Uber even know you got a ticket if you haven't been found guilty yet?
Maybe cities with populations in the millions are different, but if you're population is less than a 100,000 sun-wed should be private clients only. I still go out on them a bit just to spread cards, but I never expect any fruit from them
When you least expect it, cards work! Keep the faith because riders are catching on! Pray! 🙏
@@AbbeyTwynn i try not to mix $ with YHWH. I do fail sometimes
@@Fred63205 We don't worship money. But YHWH knows what we need in this temporary world we live in, and the LORD provides! Romans 8:28
Thanks!
🙏 thank you brotha! Appreciate that my man!!!
They do that sht to me all the time, send me back to where i was sitting, as soon as i leave that area they send me back lol
It's a game they play to make sure we use a lot of fuel. They want us to go broke, so they find small ways to make it very inconvenient for us to stack profits. They put surge far from activity - so we drive to get the surge - then they send us back to where the rides are....which is right where we couldn't get a ping for like 15mins of sitting. LOL! Using fuel, hoping the surge offsets it over time.
I say convert the rides and the apps get pissed because they make $0 and we get more than what they were gonna pay us, even with surge added. They'll stop playing the games when they see riders and drivers talking about the game and developing a plan to fight against the game.
@@MicDropBBQ you hit the nail on the head, also making drivers burn up the cars and gas helps them push that ev bs
@@MicDropBBQ i made 29 bucks yeterday, from 3am to 5am i got one trip for 7 bucks, dude was to hammered to work a deal, ive had the app on the last 2 hours and not one ping, the migrants are out by the 1000’s and they keep adding more
55-45%
Uber X would probably be 35-65%
Hell with your learning center, Iam learning on the 300 ..lol
LMAOOOOOOOOOO!!
What up brother Jeff
Youngstown is west of Westgate
Never knew. I've been there, apparently. Hahaha! Thanks! This is why ridealongs are good. I learn more from drivers just commenting on what I'm saying. Haha
Saturday Uber app was screwing up on me. Anybody notice anything weird? 10:07 don't get surges that high here, but if we did rest assured if I got that surge they'd send me 30 miles away to pickup for a $4 ride 😂 it's sad but true
They're notorious for that: won't have any rides where you are, but you get surge from a region and they send you RIGHT BACK to where you were! Just to keep you driving and burning gas!
@@MicDropBBQthey never learned to route, but most people that drive have never been routed. Uber/Lyft loseout money, but why would they care? No fuel, no miles, no tires, and no brakes. They only care about the big institution investors the common Joe retail investor isn't in their thoughts at all
44 percent they took
Yeah, when they claim to take 25% to 30%.
the app moves turtle speed so you say fk it and give up, thats why they burry the info
When surge prices hit. driver gets profits.. riders get D TBH
The drivers get hosed when it surges. If you notice how much more riders pay versus what YOU get paid, you'll see that the surge isn't for you. It's to justify the apps ripping people off. These folks are paying TWICE what they normally pay, and you're getting $4-10 more than when it's not surging.
Wassssss upppp brother
Sup brotha! Out here doing Jeep work today! Suspension work.
Got the surge but no good rides brotha
Surge ain't even a guarantee no more. They sending me rides PAST Casa Grande for like $30 🤣😅😅😆
You should really look into deliveries at night. Depending on the market Uber will get desperate and jack the price to insane pay. I took a trip the other night... 3 miles $33 to deliver basically a mcchicken. Insane that driving food pays more than driving people in my market right now.
🔥 🔥 🔥 don't tempt me!!! Hahaha
@@MicDropBBQ it's true! Got one the other night for $72, 20 miles. Took 58 minutes. 3 Fish Tacos + Beans and a steamed Oat Milk XD. It's absurd.
get this... tip was only $4. UBER paid $68! They definitely are LOSING money on these orders
@@sallywalker666 That meal HAD to be subsidized! Ain't nobody on Earth nor Mars nor Pluto about to pay $72 for some OAT MILK! hhahahahaha! You got a banging order outta that! That's probably some aliens ordered that. hahahaha!
@@MicDropBBQ That's interesting... never thought of that. Do you think Uber would know / maybe had an obligation to fulfill the order if it's paid for by government assistance
💪🏾

@@MicDropBBQ lmao
So let me get this straight...
You're on the Lyft app, a rider cancels and reports to Lyft that rider had a bad experience, but you didn't even pick the rider up. So Lyft suspends your account, taking your car out of the SUPPLY of vehicles for those riders demanding drivers, which then creates a SURGE in the Uber app BECAUSE if the riders are comparing prices between Uber and Lyft, Lyft just lost a car (You) for 15 minutes, so that Lyft and/or Uber could increase the fares for riders IN BOTH APPS!!
Riders, just keep complaining and cancelling and YOU WILL PAY MORE!
Is this the apps NEW GAME? How can drivers blame the rider for canceling when, according to "Super Pumped" Season 1, the people writing the codes for the apps can make the drivers and riders see something that is not really there!!
Keep exposing them, Jeff! For all we know, you may be the next star of Season 2... if Billionaire Bill doesn't get the part for exposing tip stealing in his x post to Dara! 😂🤣🤣
The riders that you never pick up don’t say a thing. It’s lie. It’s Lyft, They send me that message every time I cancel 2-3 rides in a night. Especially if I cancel after making contact with the rider (cause they have a good idea that I converted it to private). Oh well, that’s how I make enough to make it worth my while.
Exactly! We make it worth our while. Damn straight. Why else are we out here doing TRANSPORTION? So we can pay for the TECH that's getting rid of us? Only pigeons doing that: hustling backwards. Hustling themselves out of an industry.
Yeah, Abbey. They out here creating a weird setup for drivers, as if they want me on Uber and not on Lyft, because I've got a Black SUV and won't drive Uber as much. So, Lyft kicks me off and forces me to drive UberX and XL and COMFORT - and all I do is convert or get surge. LOL! No matter what, they don't realize who they're messing with. We're not idiots out here getting pigeon-pay. They're messing with the 300!
wtf is your lyft still off? Oh i see they do a timer lol
Yup! LOL! They put me in the corner for eating paste during arts and crafts. LOL! TIMEOUT!
@@MicDropBBQ lolol they have threatened me many times, never made it to the corner though lol
@@MicDropBBQ crushed it today 4.5 hours 21 dollars woo hoo
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO! $21? Man, you better convert all them $10 rides to $18 rides. They'll give you $20 just for helping!
@@MicDropBBQ lol Im screwed lol
Today I took an Uber from the Vegas Aria Hotel to the airport. the driver told me he would be paid only $4.70, I told him that Uber charged me $13. and I asked him why he took the ride if you lost money??/ he did not answer. this made me angry so I did not tip him. I do not understand why you take a ride to lose money.
We are independent contractors and these rides are just OFFERS. That's what riders don't understand. We are not employees. We have a RIGHT to state our price, as independent contractors do. Customers who use the apps are LEADS for business, not employment agreements. If we accept a lead, we have a right to negotiate the proposal. If you want to leave the transaction on the app and pay Uber and not care about what the contractor gets, you run the risk of being left standing on the curb.
You didn't tip cause you don't want to stop making excuses.
@vibesaddickentertainment9777 LMAO! I know. People come up with all kinds of excuses to not show appreciation for service. What is an employer was like, "...we didn't give you a paycheck because you didn't answer why you hated your parking spot." LOL! Folks be coming up with ALL kinds of lame reasons to not pay for something. Man, pure comedy. But again, this account could be an Uber employee just talking shit. That's how I see it.
The rider could have said, "...damn. I paid $13 for this. How about I just give you $10 because corporate is an asshole for this type of gouging."
Yet, the mfka just said, "...I'd rather pay $8 in FEES for a $4 ride and look like an idiot for not helping a person trying to earn money for their family." That's like paying 120% tax on something and being happy about it. LOL!
@@MicDropBBQ right ser me I tip good as hell most time I just sit their in total silence lol
@vibesaddickentertainment9777 You're gonna see a lot of app employees on videos regarding independent contractors. They are on the brink of losing their jobs when the slaves leave the plantation . Be ready for a lotta comments like this, which is why I have the membership group. They won't be in there. We got work to do. We got money to make.
So you deactivated from Lyft now?
24 min suspension only lasts 24mins. 🤣😅😆😅🤣
