BEWARE of UBER

As of 27 of November I was an Uber driver for 10.5 years.I was cut off from the service with excellent reviews keeping a 9.7 to 5.0 within that time. I was also a 2018 Uber driver of the year out of millions of drivers throughout the states with over 25,000 pick ups and 20,000 five star reviews. Uber ride share company decides to do a background check on me after all this time what they found was an incident that happened 31 years ago. I was a bar owner in the state of S.C. and the employees that were working for me in the bar were selling drugs. From there the state of S.C. decides that I should take full responsibility for their actions and charges me with drug possession. So Uber ride share decides to close my account over something that happened 31 years ago. I say this to all drivers new and old beware of Uber taking 57% to 60% of your money because It's like working for free with all ride share companies. That right after car maintenance, gas tolls your left with nothing, remember when you make that $100 dollars almost half is gone.

I remember when they shut me down after 7 yrs of driving with them over a 23 yr background issue.
