  • In my time doing SMTMC, I have met several amazing drivers and Donnie is one of those amazing drivers. He has a 100% acceptance rate and 0% cancellation rate. I might not agree with Donnie's tactics but he makes it work for him and for this I tip my hat to you Donnie.

Don't get me wrong, accepting 100% is no easy feat, but let's put this in perspective, he's not doing it on the X platform where you can find yourself actually losing money on many rides.

    Yeah I’d appreciate if I could get some consistent tips. It’s got a few college students in the area I’m like but yeah if they’re shopping they’re working like throw me a couple extra dollars. I did a large Uber eats tonight. I had a car full with three orders and I’m believing they’re gonna be generous and tip because I saved them the Christmas shopping rushand had to unload all the food and place it on their dang porch. I remember people who tip and don’t. I’m less likely to accept a ride from them again if they don’t tip and show some appreciation.

    I had a zero cancellation and UBER put one in there. Not the first time. They told me they're aware of the problem and "thank you for your patience". They wouldn't correct it. This happened the first summer I drove for them. They had me in two different places at the same time. They didn't fix that cancellation either. It might have happened more than once that summer - all the same week.

    Uber tho i refuse to accept everything. I started on uber and it was fantastic. It had streaks, big bonuses, you name it. I was working just on uber and making just as much as lyft.
    Now no🤣 you make pennies and the wait time is hilarious. Yet lyft is filled with money.
    I have a friend who is a veteran driver. He approached me last week furious about uber. He said hes never waited this long for rides. He only make 80 dollars for 10 rides that day and had enough. I was like dude sign up to lyft. Uber doesn't care anymore.

    0:18 I accept all rides. I have 99% acceptance rate a 1% cancellation rate a 4.96star rating.
    Apparently I’m the top driver in St. Louis Missouri. Uber has actually called me and asked me how I’m doing it. How I’m made it to the top of the pack in my area. I take all rides everyone else doesn’t want. I do go into bad areas and I don’t mind. I’m not going to treat anybody any different than anyone else.
    Anyway I have a question? Does anyone know an attorney that would sue valvoline for me and with me. I took my Jeep Grand Cherokee there for a oil change and literally 4 hours later, I’m sitting at the airport needing a new motor. My jeep has 138 thousand miles on it and valvoline refuses to fix it because they are saying I’m an extreme driver because I drive for Uber. I’ve had my oil changed every 8-10 thousand miles, exactly what the dealer says I should do. Valvoline still refuses to fix it unless I can get a mechanic to say on paper that they caused it to do what happened to it. There’s no mechanic that would do that because they can’t prove that they caused the breakdown. They can tell me what happened to it but they can’t prove that valvoline caused it. So I really need an attorney who can help me sue them for not fixing my ride.

Is hard to agree with this strategy when we have already tried and tested both sides, doing everything to keep dimond benefits (wich are worthless) and picking up the best fare posible out there. He just know one way and he thinks is the best way because it works for him, I won't argue that, but he is truly missing out, leaving thousands on the table and he is not aware because he never tried the cherry strategy, declining garbage.

      ⁠@jftrucker2609Uber is a tech company. People who work for Uber include programmers who write apps, marketers who convince customers to use the apps, indian call center employees, among others. Uber doesn’t provide transportation.
      Assuming you’re an Uber driver, that means you are a small business owner who has entered into an agreement with Uber to provide you with passengers. Essentially you are running a car service, and Uber is drumming up business for you. It’s a partnership. They offer you contracts to accept or decline. That’s it.
