Actually my name is Larry. Thanks for the opportunity to share my experiences with your audience. I look forward to more great advice from your channel and contributing again in the future.
@@itguru3654we got the name right on the interview, not sure who came up with Chuck
Prop 22 stands, but it’s not the end. Municipalities and the state can adopt ordinances and laws that are worker-friendly like in Boston.
The drivers just need to lobby.
Same
I went from $2600 a week, to $1800 a week, to $1200 a week. Currently at $800 a week and about to start a new job. Screw Uber.
Congratulations
I think alot are leaving, as am I for part time, I noticed that demand is up, and it's been surging alot more lately, received a 30 dollar surge on a short ride and the customer cancelled twice bc I got it again lol and it wasn't a busy time or place it was 10:15 am on a Thursday when normally no surge and it went from 18 to 30 I have made almost 100$ surge out of 285 so in Cleveland area drivers must be getting verified for fakes or leaving
That's why I became a professional chaffeur driving high end clients in luxury SUVs and limos.
I found the new job done
Me Too!!!
I’ve been driving in Atlanta since 2016 and I can confirm that a full time driver is losing about $75-$80 a day since upfront pay.
He must be working 14+ hours a day to make $1500 a week. In Los Angeles we can barely make $800 a week.
Working his life away sad!
I drove twice in Los Angeles the fare is so ship. I’m from Fresno so since 9 yrs ago I drove all the way 2 to 3 weekends to San Francisco Bay Area because it is high in demand so any area you drive it is a warranty you continue getting Raites
I have noticed that my income per hour has dropped by 10$ each hour in Nashville. It’s not right that they are charging the customer more and paying the drivers less.
Yes I feel you on this one and they say it's you know up to you if you want to take the trip or not but if you don't accept the trip they try to use it against you with a cancellation rate
Take it or leave it when the pay is all at leave at price is not a choice to take it or leave it
It's Uber greed not inflation.
It's SHAREHOLDER expectations: Executives (C-suite) serves the board of directors who, in turn, serve shareholders
Correct
Remember you should always be checking with your passenger before leaving to see how much Uber is charging them.
I took a ride one time from San Jose to San Francisco.
Rider was charged $120.
Uber paid me 30 bucks.
Fthat. That was the point that changed me and I started asking. Especially on long trips.
This is why I only accept trips that are profitable to me. As long as I'm being paid appropriately for a trip I don't really worry about what Uber is charging the rider.
Wow that's criminal.
@@Klaista2kwhat do you call it what Uber is doing?
@@roshawonpruitt7810pretty sure he was talking about Uber.
@@roshawonpruitt7810criminal
I wouldn't wear an Uber shirt if you gave it to me with $1,000. There's no way I would advertise for any of those companies
Do you want to do an interview and tell everyone how you really feel about these companies?
sergio@therideshareguy.com
I’ve gone from working seven days a week making 2700 to working seven days a week and making $1700. This is a bunch of horseshit.
thats a good market that you are because some markets cant even make half if that no matter how many hours you stay out I m back in uber testing and is not looking very good so the acceptance rate counts of how many rides you get ? i
Horse
In 2024, if you drive Uber in Dallas, and make $1500 a week, I tell you that you are extremely very very lucky, there are times in a day I make as little as $90. I know of a guy who left his regular job for Uber full time when he saw he was making almost $300 a day, but now the guy is looking for a job badly because his Uber income has dropped by 60%
I went from Lubbock to DFW area during the slow summer season. Even trying only logging in in deep ellum area. I didn't hit 100 from 6-10. We're Lubbock I used to hit little over 100... last year. This year no longer 200 or 160 daily now work more hot 100
@@lostboyvall
6 months ago, I make around $200 between 4am to 11am from 3 to 4 Reservation trips, there are some Reservation trip of 40 miles to either DFW, or Lovefield for $80, which is less than an hour drive, and at 4,5am the Riders give very good tips of $10 upwards, but now reservation trips are now so useless, and annoying, I am shocked to see $9 reservation ride, some even make reservations 3 days ahead of $5, just 2 mile trip..who does that, anyways I no longer accept reservation trips because they are no longer worth it.
Recently I’m barely making a grand. Sometimes less. 6-7 days a week. I refuse to do .50¢ per mile trips.
I hear you. My acceptance rate has gone from 90% to below 50%. Now's the time to look for other revenue streams but hang in there because I'm hopeful that as Uber and Lyft face competition from other rideshare companies things will get better.
Sergio, thanks for the opportunity to share my experiences with the rideshare community. If it helps just one driver it's worth it but I'm sure it will be many more. Thanks for all you do to help us drivers fight back and continue to make a decent living. Talk to you soon.
Thanks Larry, much appreciated
We finally fixed the name in the pinned comment 😂
Sergio is on point when he said 5-6 yesr old car .... fully paid off n deprecated.... No point driving a 30+k for these garbage $3 trip
Can we organize the protest against Uber because this is ridiculous 😢
We do have a lot expenses and they take 60%
I am constantly offered 15 miles for less than 4$. That’s less than 5$ an hour with traffic not including gas and maintenance. There is rarely any money made in Uber eats and delivery.
Im at a 26% acceptance rating. They are just another corporate monarchy shoving our noses in sheet like dogs. FK Dana!!
Same here. I was making between 2500 to 3200 dollars over 70 hours a week before the upfront fees here in Las Vegas. Now, if you're lucky. I'm making 1900 to 2200 a week for the same hours, and I noticed that Uber is taking in 50 to 70 percent per trip. It's totally ridiculous and greedy.
Funny how all the glitches work in Ubers favor 😆
Most of the time they do but there have been a few times where the glitch worked in my favor.
That's how developers keep their jobs
Used to be able to make $1,200-$1,500 driving 3 days (~25-30 hours) a week. 10-12 hours Friday night, 10-12 hours Saturday night, & 4-6 hours Sunday evening. Now, driving those same shifts is at max $700-$800 (on-app). Maybe a couple hundred more if it's a holiday weekend or some major event is in town. Currently, weekday day driving absolutely sucks donkey balls. (Tampa Bay, FL market)
Since summer started I have gone from 150- 200 a day to maybe 100 because we are over saturated in San Antonio Texas
Same for florida 😢 I made $70 day
same in Austin/Kyle Texas
Hey Sergio what about, being able to set minimums in the app?
I don't take rides less than $10.00. If drivers just stopped accepting $3 rides we wouldn't get them anymore.
This is true. I have been consistently declining rides under $5 and my average trip fare is now $9 to $13 per trip on any given day.
@@itguru3654 that's right now everyone who drives for Uber just needs to start turning down the low fares.
It has to be an all-or-nothing kind of deal though unfortunately.
And this is how we get change.
My small $5 trips give me the biggest tips and I don’t mind a shorter beach ride from time to time. I received a $100 tip on a $5 ride once! 😊
There’s a way to take screenshots without using two hands. On an iPhone:
Toggle on Assistive Touch
Add “Screenshot” if it doesn’t default
OR
Assign “Screenshot” to the double tap section for the Assistive Touch function.
This will place a disc on your phone. The opacity can be adjusted. The location of the disc can be moved to a less obtrusive location.
I hope this helps!
From 2500 to 800 😢 LOS ANGELES MARKET
This force me to go back to college get a degree and leave the ride share alone
💯💯💪
Don't go into debt over college and don't choose a bullsh*t degree.
Fool
Thanks for info I did 25799 rides just making living 4.98 rate working at night time I believe driver for long time we deserve more hope things get better for the professional drivers
1.8 years ago started with Lyft $32 hr, two months ago $20 hr, latest is around $16, no more Lyfting , however at a beach town where I reside there is a summer surcharge on Ubee till Sept 16th , it has been great !!! Keeping head above water. Upfront pricing = Upfront SLICING
Excellent interview! All the best Larry
Thanks

Excellent interview Larry and Sergio!! This was really helpful!
Allie thanks for watching and for the feedback. I'm glad to hear you found this helpful. All the best to you in your rideshare business.
Thank you Larry and Sergio! Great interview and information. I'm new to Uber in the Miami metro... like you Larry, I was an IT exec/consultant before retiring earlier this year. The extra money is great of course, but I need to get out and be with people... going to try this for a while.
Thanks
Hey Steven. Larry here. All the best to you. It took a lot of courage to breakout of a salaried position but here I am 2 years later and am glad I did it. It has been very beneficial to my health and well-being.
Uber and Lyft need up the pay or put an end to this 5-minute wait because these people take the whole 5 minutes before they come out if you do 12 jobs a day that's over a hour that you lose what you do not get paid
Here in Indy it is always the pot smokers who take the total 7 minutes. I quit waiting. Once the the clock hits the two minute and hits charging I am off. Not only does it cost me money to wait. I loose on tips because my car stinks of pot when those asses get in. Can’t get rid of the smell.
That's never been a surprise, actually that's old news. Every time a market that switches from the regular model to upfront fares the driver loses money its been tested and proved so in my personal case in my New Jersey we are with the old model and we prefer to keep it that way
I make over 100k per year. I only drive Uber for the mileage claim. I make about 2k annually and deduct 40k in mileage and only pay 1% in taxes. I also track all mileage. I use Uber only to pay less in taxes... Be smart use it to pay less in taxes only
Do you want to do an interview? sergio@therideshareguy.com
That's a good move. I do the same with my full time rideshare business and my tax liability is greatly reduced.
Sounds to me like the IRS will eventually audit you. 40,000 miles a year only making 2K doing rideshare? Is that 2K per month?

seriously, it's not rocket science. keep your car clean. ask them how their day was. the horror stories i hear about other driver's cars amazes how it's not common sense to do the minimum needed. take pride in your ride...
Totally agree with you GeeWee. When a rider gets in my car and says it looks really clean and smells good I could do that trip without saying another word to them and still get 5 stars. All because the car is clean, smells good and I'm a reasonably safe driver. Also riders like it when you use your turn signals for every turn or lane change as it gives them a heads up on if you are going the right way to their destination.
I went from around $2000 to anywhere from $800 to $1100. I worked 5 days and now most weeks I work 7 days now
Do you want to do an interview and talk about it? sergio@therideshareguy.com
Now I'm making half of what I used to make. Uber has cut the rate so much that it's like 5 an hours now
Lyft in Oklahoma doesn't hsve enough volume or consistency as Uber. Figured Lyft would be popular since Denzel Washington in Punisher
Sometimes Lyft is more popular in my area but depends on the time of day.
When you're driving private clients, there is zero chance you'll ever have to waste several hours with uber/lyft chatbot support trying to chase down the $2 or $3 uber/lyft owes you for something. If you drive fulltime, getting your private driver credentials is worth it.
Of course the are paying less. When you know your market. You see it in every ride
Yes Jurry that is key to any business. To know your market. Great point!
300 mile every day let say every month 8000 miles how did you put 40000 miles in your car. Ok every day 300 miles for 1 year is 96000 miles every years. What you talking about
I don't work everyday plus I take about a month or so off every year for vacation.
$1500 A week, which now is 100 hours of working time when you will drop Uber will send you a penny...
Thanks for the interview Larry is professional i will ask everyone to ask customers what they laid
Thanks
Thanks. I'm glad you found it informative.
No longer worth driving with the overhead at all.
That's why I bought a used hybrid vehicle. It instantly cut my biggest expense (fuel) in half.
I don't get tips since I reached diamond I provide a five-star service if there's anything I can do for you while you're on your ride to make you more comfortable feel free to let me know if it's changed on the radio or rolling out the windows to fill the AC
Why become diamond
Because my kids where kidnapped 4 years ago and nobody's helping @@sergioSMTMC1
We need to get pay by miles and times

@sftaxi7245 exactly also the couriers
Instead of asking tell me what you like and dislike, the question should be tell me what you dislike, and tell me what you hate!!!
I am having trouble making over 1,000.00 we need to go on strike like mass is getting 32.50 an hour and I don't get the money for the medical stripe because of my insurance
Thanks for sharing Larry.
You can set your cell phone to take photos by waving or possible finger tap for safety. Also Maximo can screenshot incoming request
You're welcome. Yes I'm now looking into the best way to take screenshots. Thanks for those suggestions.
I cant even express how disappointed I am with uber. I've gone from 1500 a week to work longer hours just to make 500 a week. It seems that approximately 90% of my rides no longer give tips or uber is keeping the tips. Not to mention they expect you to drive 30 miles for $5 delivery fees. I'm wondering when driver are going to have had enough and revolt.
I bet if you accept every ride that comes in you’ll make over $2000. If I’m online I’m accepting every ride unless it’s in the hood or the person has a terrible rating. Which is maybe 2-5 rides a day at most
Let's do an interview, email me sergio@therideshareguy.com
What rating do you consider terrible? Due to being a. Female I set my minimum rating I accept to 4.8… and at night.. 4.9..do people with 4.7… and below tip? Are they decent people? Genuinely asking..
They are giving alot more $4 rides in Atlanta I blame the people that accept those
Exactly
Tips thru the app will replace money you already earn. I'm in a earning leach, it's doesn't matter how many Tips I get they will turn it to base hourly wages. The only way you will actually see the increase from a tip is to get the rider to tip you outside the app. Then they have to give you more of the actually fares to give you your hourly wages leach.
@@jerylseward5517 There lies the tragedy of driving Uber. That’s how Uber is stealing from drivers. They literally steal ALL the tips. Uber wants you to be on their time and a slave to their algorithm. Confiscating your tips is how they keep you on the hamster wheel to achieve that goal.
Uber has never confiscated my tips or reduced a fare after the fact because a rider tipped me. That's not to say it doesn't happen because Sergio has presented cases where that has happened but it's not a common occurrence.
I can’t help myself. It’s the taxi driver again. I just scrolled down on all the comments and it said it’s just a matter of time before you figure out driving for Uber it’s a waste of time. That’s what I’ve been telling you people for years to quit to put them out of business. Remember, that’s one of your own drivers not taxi driver a rideshare driver
Drive safe, Larry!!
Thanks William and you as well. Driving safely and obeying all traffic laws equals happy riders and more tips.

Perfect car is sienna hybrid or camry hybrid. Corrola is too small and does not qualify for comfort. But also, more comfortabl and roomy cars will get more tips.
Ricky good point. In fact I'm thinking my next car will be a Sienna or Camry hybrid but I'm currently doing pretty well with the Corolla hybrid.
Facts I don’t know why everyone complaining like find what doing good for you when not come with another strategy.
Upfront pricing is a lot lower than if you get minutes and miles. With a minute and miles we can see how much wait time and per mile. But up front pricing, we don’t see any of that so we are getting robbed
With upfront pricing I add up the distance to pickup and to destination. If it's less than $1.00 per mile I will decline the trip.
Serge is funny: he always gives reasons NOT to drive for Uber...
To each their own
You guys have finally figured out that they've been shaving our money and making us do more work for free over the last five years. 😂😂😂
$1,500 x 52 weeks. $78k. Not too bad before taxes & expenses.
And if you keep track of the mileage or use the car exclusively for the business you can write off all the miles you drove at 65 cents a mile.

If you're trying to make money by driving Uber, it's only a matter of time until you find out what everyone else knows. You do not even make minimum wage. You're on the hook for the car, fuel, insurance, repairs, depreciation, and god forbid you get sued and then lose your home. It would be more profitable to work at a restaurant. Sad but true.
If you treat it like a business and operate under an LLC you can do well.

I would take that play Octopus tablet when he goes to drive limo too.if I was him
That's a good thought but the Octopus tablet knows when you are on a trip for Uber/Lyft so it will only give you points if it is used in the context of an Uber or Lyft trip.
@itguru3654 That's true too... I've taken that from trips, from south carolina to new york lol Told family have fun and play with it... And I did earn some pointslol

You think upfront fares were bad wait for advantage mode I'm in week 2 it's horrible earnings went down 50% working longer more miles less pay. I couldn't only imagine standard mode 😢
What's advantage mode?
um whuut
When drivers are in Advantage Mode, they will receive more exclusive ride requests³ sent directly to them and earn 5% more⁴ on UberX and other non-premium ride types, including Trip Radar matches, than they would in Standard Mode.Jun 25, 2024
thanks for the heads up I hate surprises I just researched this
I used to make 2000 and now I make 1200 😢😢😢
Yep me too. That's why I got a hybrid car. If they are going to reduce fares than I look at my business and see if there are ways to reduce my costs on other things to help offset the reduction.
yeah I'd be sure to tell out passengers to watch out for people wearing Uber logos and Uber lights and Uber signs on their dashboard because none of that stuff actually comes from Uber it's all fake and that means that those drivers could be fake drivers and instead they should look for official federal regulated paperwork from the airports or something more official because even the Uber stickers are not trademarked
I find that wearing the Uber shirt does impress riders and conveys a level of professionlism that results in higher ratings and more tips.

Sergio, what hours do you drive on the weekdays? What about weekends?
Early mornings during the week, all hours on the weekends
How comes I still don't have upfront fares here in new york??? And new jersey ???
How comes????
I never seen upfront fares before here.
Just as we were talking about in the video the county where I live doesn't have UFFs but the counties to the west and east of me do. I'm sure it's because Uber believes it would not be to their advantage to have UFFs in my area.

How much does he factor in for vehicle depreciation per mile? If financed how much has he had to pay for interest?
Thanks
Depends on the car you're driving, the older the car the less depreciation
Something is not making sense here! This guy goes from a profession requiring skill and a college education that can pay in the 80k to 100k per year range. To earn a living doing an UNSKILLED job that doesn't even require a high school education to do it, at a fraction of his prior salary! It dont add up!
Some things are more important than money. Plus it does take skill, talent and a disciplined work ethic to do this job properly and to run the business behind it and make it profitable.
When will be your interview with criminal Dara?
He won't come in
It's all completely ridiculous. I don't even know how people in places like California or why you guys even drive. $5 gallon gas and they're going to pay you $3.12 on a trip? All of it is b*******. I don't even know why people do it anymore. It's much more profitable to park your car and go work at Chick-fil-A or in and out
Offer stands, come on and talk about it sergio@therideshareguy.com
Uber and lyft isnt the problem. Its the drivers. Everytime you decline a ride the ride is sent to another deiver at a higher pay out. In other words if your not getting what you want for that ride its cause you excepted the ride to early. The total amount lyft and uber are charging the pax is around $2.°° per mile.
That’s not true lmao
Here in Connecticut i had a ride pick up a package to drive 2:30 hours for only $35 ,😂is this for real? Common Uber personal
That is a ride that I would've rejected even with a hybrid car. That's only $14 an hour gross.
When you guys say the word milage do actually mean miles or are you talking in kilometres?
Miles
Upfront fares cut my airport rides by 25% to 40%. That was the last straw. I made biz cards and took UBER reservations every morning to LAX 60 mile ride for me and would try to flip em private for the return trip with great success. Or I would sit on my couch and set a DF filter to LAX and wait for that 1 ride from my neighborhood to LAX and flip em. I went from $25 an hr on UBER to $50 to $100 an hr now private. I hit $400 a day at least 3 days a week now. I charge $3 a mile. So no matter what I make $1.50 a mile if I don't get any return trips on UBER. 1k miles= minimum $1.5k.
I drive a 10 yr old 2014 Toyota Avalon Hybrid and a 2015 Toyota Sienna Limited with pristine interiors and exteriors and ALL of my private clients compliment me on how nice my car is. I average $125 per ride with these cars. I wear shorts, collared polo shirt and flip flops. lol and yes almost everyone rebooks with me again. lol Why do you need to wear a suite to drive some asshole billionaire around. I sure don't. That is the beauty of doing this for yourself. Imagine being able to wear flip flops and shorts amd make $200 in an hr!?
I flip at least 70% of my rides I can easily pull up and look at them and see if they're a possibility if there's some crazy foreign looking person I keep it moving because more than likely I'm not going to be able to flip the ride because you're not going to be able to speak the language good enough how many college area younger people are more likely to do it also people that are like picking up trucks and buses and things that they built around here always looking for a deal people from up North New York New Jersey they can respect the hustle for sure have no problem with it
@thomashudson3694 Would you pickup Ahmed? 😆 🤣 love you Ahmed!
I have over 30,000 rides and over 6500 deliveries. Rideshare guy. If you can give me an email I want to send you some rides that were offered to me in New Jersey that would make you freaking sick Charlie in New Jersey.
sergio@therideshareguy.com do you want to do an interview
1:17 - 1:28 : I've been using 11+ year old cars with 120k plus miles, except for the car that I already owned when I first got into rideshare (9 years old).
This is, quite literally, the only way that I haven't yet lost my shirt in this business.
Good comment
I started with a car I owned for 9 years that already had 80k miles on it. If not for a drunk driver totaling it last year I would probably still be driving it today.
I am a new driver. Where can I get the octopus tablet?

I went from 2200/wk and now I barely break $1000/wk. I’m at 4.99 rating with 15k trips. Explain that to me please?
Philadelphia is the worst. You gotta put in seventy to ninety hours to put six hundred dollars a week
my Uber account just got hacked for $700.00
Ouch, sorry to hear that, do you want to do an interview sergio@therideshareguy.com
That happened to me my second month doing it.. about 6 months ago.. I cried so hard.. I lost $800.. never again will that happen..
Does anyone know why sunday in NYC had such high demand? My friend made over $700 with Uber this past sundsy, and he was allowed to work over 11 hours of passenger time. He did 27 trips in total.
Because he's not locked out?
@@sergioSMTMC1 but $700?
Possibly because a lot of drivers take Sunday off.
@@Klaista2k I worked there from 2015 2023. Always worked Sundays, $400 was the avg. Thats a good day, let alone $700
Sunday has always been a good day to drive. Relatively less traffic and a lot of people travel long distance for family visits, events, etc…also a lot of drivers rest on Sunday.
Uber is terrible company they Charge the customer lots of money for instance Uber electric for $45 and Uber giving you $15 dollars that's bad and FUCKING terrible.
Was that 40,000 miles in a year? That's nothing. Doing UberX almost exclusively (a couple other gig apps a few times) I have put 70,000+ miles on my car since I got her in July of last year.
Please share this video with everyone you know!
I dont get how this companies still exist they are shitty and less and less people are using them also they dont pay good
The rates uber pay us well be driving around In rickshaws soon !
Facts brother
Use the apps to get customers then ones you get there asking if they willing to pay cash or through cash app,zelle or any other app to do the money transaction or else they'll have to wait on another driver to come and pick them up. Uber is not playing fair so why should we.
need to add they have too many drivers and not enough people to pick up for the drivers I have. It’s an epidemic. I think it’s in all markets now even in my market, but you need to talk to me about opportunities in reserve ride price shaving we used to get $22-$29 for each opportunity and reserve rides. I’ve seen them as low as $10 some as low as nine that would make a great story, can you believe it? Give me a call
I wait 2 min MAX then canx ride.
I'm the same way. Lol
Same
Bide-Inflation takes hold! Las Vegas is real slow; I haven't seen this before, in the six years I've been driving here!
It'll get better! Don't get discouraged, the "Calvary" is coming in November/January.
(Oh yeah! I lost 20% a week with upfront fares!)
50 percent less. Than last year in Sacramento. Slow
Tell me your slow without telling me your slow
@@titojackson278there’s only one slow person in this thread. It ain’t OP.
Yes I'm hopeful things will improve in 2025. Please get out and vote for the candidate who has already proven they can grow the economy, create good paying jobs, keep inflation low, control our border, and keep our adversaries overseas in check. You know who I'm talking about 😉
Wow you have no clue who Donald is. He lied about Atlantic City being better than Vegas that NV won't allow that liar to have a gaming license. What exactly is bad about this current economy? I didn't forget about covid and it happened under Trump's watch. Trump did jack CA CA. Vegas doesn't have the same type of customers like CA. It would appear CA people tip. Vegas people and tourist don't.
For you to say the economy was better with trump is wrong. He created a bad mess and Biden did what he could to make it better. You want a 100 percent and for you to complain that you're not making money in Vegas is so laughable. You lack hustle. Self employment is what it is. You just suck at business.
It’s called “deadheading “ not “deadmiling”
Sorry, different lingo

Shady company fuck uber/ lyft. you better off to drive cab better pay
I thought the prop 22 was the big savior of California gig workers it's not my fault you live in a place where a house that I paid $92,000 in North Carolina it's not worth like 3:20 California it's a million dollar house
California has a bad habit of putting ballot measures up for vote by the people (like Prop 22) and using deceptive names and descriptions about them on the ballot so as to confuse the voter and make them think they are voting on something good for them when it actually is not.
@@itguru3654 you can blame the legal profession for that. Not much good comes out of the legal profession just redistribution of wealth to the liars, I mean lawyers.

Australians don't tip
I did not know that. Is it ingrained in the culture there not to tip for good service?
