Thais why you need a dash-cam! £60 will take away all this risk

I had a customer which was very rude to me and I asked him nicely to get off my car because of his attitude which I am not willing to accept.
Guess what?
He said to Uber in my car was smelling like marijuana, I was driving careless, speeding.....so on.
Uber got me de-activated and had to wait to wait for them to listen to my side of the story while me not being able to make money to provide for my family!!!
Uber Client always first and then the driver....
Be careful with strange customers, they can always make a serious allegation against you and by the time Uber will realise its all lies, you will lose days of work-we have no protection in this situations!

how cool, even more people trying to make money on our backs you can find all those info here mate for free

How the fok is possible to work for one of the biggest company in the world and you can not contact them guys??
I mean, we are the supply power , we should have priority!!!
I think Tesco will be very stressed if they cant communicate with the milk supplier, right?
 
They say , we are doing everything we can to make things better for you but you can not call me, if you have a problem, wait for us to discover it

The Uber thing worked because it was cheaper and, initially, it was more pleasant than the typical taxi. So that’s why it worked. But people don’t have loyalty to Uber, not even the drivers .
“Instead of just focusing on being a good taxi company for the digital age… it’s blowing all sots of money [on] self driving-cars and China and now India. The company just so much reflects the megalomania of Travis Kalanick and whatever he thinks he’s doing.”
One of the biggest issues that has left Uber’s business model hanging in the balance is its resistance to classifying its drivers—there are reportedly 600,000 in the U.S.—as employees, not contractors. If Uber is a house of cards, this is a key part of the foundation that, once removed, would demolish the structure.
 
"It’s Bad At The Company Too
It’s not just Uber drivers who feel downtrodden. A widely-circulated essay published last week by a former engineer described a series of incidents that painted the company’s headquarters as a space that fostered repeated, systemic sexual harassment."
At the rate it’s going, Uber could crash and burn through its stockpile of cash by the end of the decade.
Maybe Kalanick knows something we all don’t. Maybe Uber has a secret team of genius scientists who’ll surpass all expectations of driverless cars and, somehow, have a fully-automated fleet of vehicles for the company to use everywhere within a few years. Maybe billionaire investors are actually fine with propping up a money-losing venture into perpetuity.
  But until Uber can prove it has found a sustainable model—or, perhaps, stop the investor leaks of its financials—there’s little to suggest it has the bandwidth to survive. Whether it’s sold, drastically shrinks its market footprint, or just outright shutters, it’s untenable for Uber to exist long term as the tech juggernaut it is today.

These days you get E class for £1,20/mile, people using them for X.
The balance is gone

40% from those latest 60k drivers will not be full time or not even on the platform any-more, many of them they quit uber after they realised your actual profit is around 50% from what you make...

I did consider it but at £880 a month it seems silly.
Putting a money aside each month for maintenance/tyres still seems me well under half that cost. 
 
Just need to clarify how it works 

Wow, so for a 10 mile job:
Before 10m x 2.40 = 24
Now   10m x 1.80 = 18
For average 100miles average per day from £240 to £180.....£60 loss
For 2000 miles average per month  from £4,800 to £3,600...£1200 loss omg
 

I realised why they took so many exec drivers, is going to happen just like with X. 
They will cut the fares, already in thr suburbs is £7 minim fare where it use to be £10 like everywhere. 
£ 1.80/ mile 
Brace yourself for even less money guys

Uber is losing $2 billion a year, new report says, with passengers paying for only 41% of each ride
Maybe the reason of losing money is because they are building a fleet of driverless cars???

Apologies if this infringes any rules but I could not find a contact for the forum.
 
I want to alert all drivers to a sale we are having on our products, the main one of interest being a dual mobile and or sat nav holder which secure fixes with no suckers on a windscreen, sticky pads or air vent installs and allows 360degree rotation and multiple angles.

We trialled this product with the cab and taxi drivers around Croydon and every single person wished to buy and keep the item a week later!

DO NOT let Uber know you are requesting jobs for you driver account using your rider account, according to them is a breach in privacy policy and will get you deactivated!!!!
Do not test if you can receive jobs with your rider account, use your wife's account for example.....

I've tried a few of their sample papers and the basic concept it the same.  Once you get your head around the layout of this test, it should be quiet easy to pass the actual test as it will be the same layout just different subject.
I will try and make a video this week, where I will go through the sample test paper.

Last week i finished with 4.96 after 2 months of constant drop, is not just me, all my colleagues same thing- perfect rating-
Makes you think how trusty this rating system it is - not - dodgy dodgy all the way or maybe is just to make us feel good with Christmas coming
What a joke 

looks like ramadan is becoming a fountain of requests for non muslim drivers
I am going to work v hard until ramadan is over, there is a real chance to save some good money guys, go for it!!!

Untrained people from Uber office are refunding costumers and they don't show it in the weekly statement.
SO, i had a customer who didn't arrived after 5 minutes and 1 phone call .
Like any other normal driver who doesn't have time to waste, i cancel the trip by selecting no show and get the £7 .
 
But wait, uber will make you think you got £7 but in reality if the customer complains like all do, they will refund those £7 and you will get just 6 minutes waiting time and plus another minim 5 to get to the location, 11 minutes from your time uber is stealing x 5 days = 55 minutes every week / --200 /month--2000/ year
 
Go to trip invoices and check every job for fare adjustment !!!!!!
 
Shame!!!
 

I thinks this guy is a cheeky greedy monki ) he wants to drive without insurance as well
 
SO a rust bucket without insurance and maybe sun flower oil instead of diesel )) :D

There's a place on Gloucester Road, south of the Cromwell Road. 
 
Will need to find a parking spot and pay, unless you park in the Sainsbury's and walk a few minutes to get there. 

If you think you have an ugly pic ( not face :rolleyes: ) then you can change it from your Uber Phone:
 
FIRST GO OFFLINE
 
Press the button left up-corner
 
Go to Support, then Account, then update my profile photo. It allows you to send Uber a pic right from your phone. Immediately I got an email saying they changed it.
 
Cool?
