terry Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 What do you think Uber will look like in 10 years from now? How will the money making model be different than what it is today? What can we do as drivers to grow with the company? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Plenty of new -fresh -no experience -meat for Uber, good old experienced drivers they will leave if the income is dropping like is hot :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUED Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Drivers who want to get on, don't stay and "grow" with the company. They get themsevles an operator's licence and start up a company themselves. They can use Uber for extra work, when they are quiet with their own jobs. fullpower 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullpower Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Ut how do you get work when you have your own operator licence? DO YOU CONTRACT WITH A HOTEL? advertise your business? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUED Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Generally through word of mouth, especially amongst one-man band chauffeur-operators. You're also get asked to do other jobs from Uber passengers if they like you, and ask you if you can do extra work for them, also had a few wanting me to work as a driver for them full-time. If you're good, then you don't need to advertise. Work comes to you. I drive for a client and their family almost full time anyway. I just use Uber, and if I'm able to do other work for other chauffeur operators, when I'm free (if they're on holiday, or only needed for a half-day/morning etc). Besides if you add up over the course of a year the amount of commission Uber takes from you, and instead you found the work yourself, that commission Uber got, will easily pay for your operator's licence, and necessary advertising (in the form of business card, leaflets, website etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
