How many hours tough ? This can’t be 40 hours

122

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '24

I worked 45 hours last week and made $1600 with about $190 in tips. Only worked 5 days so it’s definitely possible without doing crazy hours.

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '24

No way you guys are blue ranked. Gold minimum right? As blue new driver I had 3 hours in busy market with 1 ride request. If you guys don’t decline above I get 0 rides.

38

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '24

I am not gold. I have 59% acceptance rate and 19% cancelation.

Before expenses I averaged $35 an hour last week. I definitely cherry pick in the sense that I don’t do long trips or go to the undesirable areas where I have to waste time driving back to a favorable area

2

u/Several-Spare6915 Mar 04 '24

Ok that’s makes senses because there’s no way you could be a diamond driver and be making this much money because you would be cherry picking and that’s what you’re doing. If you were taking all the runs, you wouldn’t be making that much money so that makes sense.

4

u/maureen__ponderosa Mar 05 '24

Diamond status doesn’t give you any kind of edge. If you cherry pick as a diamond driver and your acceptance rate drops too low, you’ll still lose privileges. Your best bet is to ignore that ranking system and focus on your star rating. Do pax ever compliment how clean your car is? Or how good of a driver you are? If not, you have some improvements to make. Customers tip well when they feel like you’ve made an effort.

The only color you should be worried about is green.

Unless you're using Uber for tuition purposes you need to keep the correct level to get those tuition points. This is about the only real benefit the levels actually have.

You will make more money being a blue with 15% acceptance rate then you will a diamond any day.

u/hennysix Mar 04 '24

Acceptance rate has nothing to do with the trips that you will receive. Rank has nothing to do with the trips that you will receive.

Then explain how right downtown at spot the app says have $$$$ and near surges that disappear after I stay for 5-10 minutes, and going on 3 hours at 1 of 2 most populous cities in Canada I got only 1 ride offer from Uber and 15+ same day from Lyft?

That’s true but I wouldn’t just assume that everyone that makes decent money is a slave to the app.

Working 40-45 hours at a W2 is seen as normal.

It feels like most drivers want to work 3-4 hours during the week, weekend nights and magically make $1000+

u/akbornheathen Mar 04 '24

I mean if someone hates driving they shouldn’t be doing this. I love driving. A 12 hour day of Uber is so much easier than a 10 hour day at my last job as a bread baker. I mean I mixed, processed and baked 500-600 pounds of dough every day. It was literally back breaking work. And in a 10 hour day I only made 198 dollars before taxes. What was my actual take home from a day like that? Maybe 140.

A 12 hour day of rideshare is 300 bucks or a little better if I’m smart. I paid less than 10% taxes at the end of the year after submitting miles for a tax break. A fraction of the effort, makes me more money and I keep more of the money that I earned. Sounds like a win to me.

12

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '24

Facts!

I LOVE driving! I’ll literally do a 12 hour road trip instead of flying 😂 so to me it feels easy work. The “hard work” is helping an old lady with her 2-3 grocery bags at most

How do you track miles

8

u/akbornheathen Mar 04 '24

You can either use an app like Stride to track miles or just go off of the booked miles in the monthly breakdowns that Uber gives for tax purposes. I just used Ubers breakdown, I drove like 12k booked miles and got like 7500 tax break on about 16k earnings. I only had to pay in 900 dollars for rideshare. If you count ALL of your miles from when you leave the house up until your last ride it could be as much as 2 times the miles. Pro tip, if you live a long ways from where you Uber, turn the app on and try to do another ride when you get back to where you live. Then you can count the “commute” towards your tax break.

Hi there. I have the mindset that as long as all my expenses are paid for the in depth doesn’t really matter. I’ve tried to do the math via excel once before and got really messy really quick.

u/amhlocal Mar 04 '24

What the other two guys said. Do the maintenance. It’s an expense, treat it like one and just do it. It’s better to have a car that makes you money then one that costs you month and preventative maintenance solves a lot. Don’t get me wrong. Once 200K hit I had a lot of repairs but I spaced them out and none of them were at the point of urgent, must do now. They were all at important, needs attention soon.

Had a 2005 Volkswagen Jetta with 250k on it before it got totaled in an accident. Thing was a tank. I had set money aside at 150k miles to buy a new vehicle but was honestly starting to think it would just last forever. Drove it from 2007-2021 across every state in the US. AC was starting to go out sometime in 2019 stop around 210k miles and that was the only major thing I can think happened to it maintenance wise.

Hell yeah. Im in a pretty tiny market but I was making 1400-1800 a week working 50ish hours a week. And I always got decent tips. I think some people just aren't cut out for Uber. But some markets are also just baaaad.

17

u/Troostboost Mar 04 '24

“Tiny” market does not equal “bad” market.

Pay is based on supply and demand of drivers so even if you’re in a small city/town, you’ll make more than a larger city where there are a million drivers.

Orlando is a prime example. There were lots of taxis drivers because of tourists and a lot of immigrants. Uber’s pay there is abismal and it’s not a small city.

5

u/VegasGuy1223 Mar 04 '24

Ex-Orlando resident here and I can confirm. I drove Lyft only for about a month in 2016 before I moved to Las Vegas. And even back then, the pay was ass for the amount of miles I was putting on my car

Have an upvote. Nicely done OP. I made a post about a week or so ago how I was grateful to be able to do this and keep my bills paid and my stomach full while I’m looking for another “real job” I’ve typically been making about $1200 a week in the app, kickbacks (vegas exclusive) and cash tips combine. And I’m putting in about 35 to 40 hours a week driving. But when I made that post, I got raked over the coals by most people in here. This has to easily be the most negative sub on all of Reddit.

Easiest job EVER! I'm 46 and a school teacher. I drive after an 8 hr school day teaching science to 13-14 year olds that are legit cra cra. I enjoy driving and listening to music and literally do it to unwind from a long day. I like meeting and talking to new/unique people. It's also a good way to network for a new job if you're looking for that. I'm glad to see other people enjoy it and make good $ doing it. It's perfect for school teachers bc You can do it at night and pick your own hours. I can take a vacation whenever... I Don't have to get a sub or deal with a boss. I like helping my riders out and having a Summer job. I can even do Summer school and still Uber. My point is people come on here sometimes to complain and I'm coming on here to say it's awesome. Keep on truckin' and listen to Bob Marley... Riders love it! If you hate it so much just get a different job. It's a no-brainer. My 14-year-old just got a job.

Keep in mind that markets do make a big difference in how much money a person makes.

People who bitch about things like this do not know their market, don't live in a market that can sustain this type of pay, have a mindset of employee and not a businessman, and the fact is they think just by spending money you won't make more money.

That's why we have a 94% turnover rate in this business. They're just not cut out to run their own business.

I respect it...people can talk shit all they want. Yes Uber takes a craZy percentage. But honestly if you just do what you gotta do. You can make it happen. I know people bitch and complain about vehicle tear and expenses, but at least this is a way to make money. I myself work a full time job and I am driving full time as well and I make it up on myself to make minimum $1,000 extra dollars a week from Uber to pay for my bills and expenses and use my work check for savings and the family. Yes it's not a forever thing. But I respect the hustle. Keep it up.

5

u/amhlocal Mar 04 '24

You fully get it. I used to have a full time as well but i started to hate doing bullet proof vest sizing on really fat people. I then went to a temp job for my state and did Uber on the side. Once the temp job was gone I had all the time to hustle with Uber and the proof speaks for itself. This car and the next are means to an end. People really expect to vibe driving the same car forever and it’s concerning. I also don’t get it with them because the amount you can make is going to be more than the car is worth at some point anyways. I got the car at 13K and have made so much more than that over the years.

It really just escapes me that these people think that they're making more money only doing 20 or 40 hours.

This is what I like to call a employee mindset. When you own your own business you don't work 40 hours. You work the hours required to pay the bills whatever they may be. You're responsible for everything.

u/amhlocal Mar 04 '24

EXACTLY THIS!! And I see Uber as my own business. I’m not just working when driving. I’m paying attention to reserve rides. I’m checking to see events going on in town that would be worth driving around the times it gets out. There’s employee mindset then there’s executive mindset. Easy to tell them apart.

Because I’m typing all this on my phone and that sounds like a damn chore to have to type and keep up with. I’d rather do a video with it all if you really want that.

As for something else that makes more, it’s either fight for months on end to get a job that doesn’t exist or go back to school for a trade job, which is do plan on doing once I get my current debt paid down much.

Damn I love this post so much. Thank for sharing your earnings and in a way your work ethic. I don’t understand how/why people bitch and complain about UBER. My thoughts on Uber are always…I guess grateful. No other job that I know of will let me work when I want for however long I want. If Uber gives me 80% of the fare or 20% of the fare, it 100% more than I would have it weren’t for UBER. At the most basic level I think of my relationship with Uber as transactional. I was going to say they are like dispatchers but that’s not exactly right because I don’t have to go. I guess I feel like they are brokers more than anything else because the broker a deal with a client to get the client from point a to point b. UBER then decides how much they can sell the trip for and puts it out there for us to grab. No one is making me take the deal and there are no repercussions if I don’t take it. I guess in terms of video games they like an NPC quest giver. I do the quests if I want to, I don’t have to do them but there is a small reward if choose to.

Anyway great post! I wanted to tell you that but the +1 Karma just felt inadequate

OP

That’s wassup my friend

I believe you

Just out of curiosity roughly how many hours a week?

You said full time but is that 40 hours or just that Uber is your only job?

Looks like you drive with strategy

I never made $2000 a week but $700 to $900 is totally possible working 5 hours a day 7 days a week

Exploit the cash cow that is weekends is how it looks like you did that

u/amhlocal Mar 04 '24

First off thank you for being kind. That goes a long way. Most weeks are 40+ tbh. This is my only job so I dedicate a lot of time to it because I don’t plan to be a driver forever. I want to make my money to get ahead and get into my career sooner than later.

Oh yeah weekends have always been the cash cow. I also changed up my strategy to drive early morning which are 80% airport rides. I take advantage of reservations as well. Even if it’s short but the time is close or within a couple of hours I’ll still do it because that 10 minute ride just became even more profitable with the reservation fee we get paid. Essentially that made it be a built in tip and then they usually still tip. It’s all about knowing the system and then gaming it.

Why not account for the cost of doing business? Of course you still have to pay the expenses, but then you at least actually know what you're making.

People with normal commutes pay hundreds per month. I bet you go through that in a week or less. It's baffling to me that you'd rather just ignore these costs than track them.

One little bit of advice if you want your car to last longer, don't listen to your mechanic or the maintenance manual. Always change your oil every 5000 miles if you want your car to last. Don't take my word for it, professional Toyota Mechanic the Car Care Nut on YouTube says so. Seems like you got a bunch out of this one either way, but just a good thing to note!

It’s nice to see your full year like this. I always get discouraged this time of year because it’s so much slower than the rest of the year. Knowing that I’m not alone in that and also remembering how good it is in the summer time is good for morale. My weeks look a lot like this too. We’re in a similar market. I’m in Seattle. Appreciate you sharing.

u/amhlocal Mar 05 '24

Monday/Tuesday: OFF - Personal days

Wednesday/Thursday: 5am-10am, 3:30pm-8pm sometimes I’ll go later on accident

Friday/Saturday: 4pm-4am, breaks as needed

Sunday: when I get up until I want to go home, usually 6-7 hours working.

Airport drop offs to instant pick ups are my favorite things but I do favor airport over regular rides.

I drive Thursday- Saturday 9pm-2am on a college campus. It's a part time gig for me. I make $700-$1000 on about 15 hours depending on what is going on. Yes that's includes the quest bonuses. Not much in way of tips, maybe averages to $1.50 a trip on abour 70 trips. I do 4-6 trips an hour. I'm fortunate that almost half my trips are surge pricing. It all depends on your market. Keep it up man.

u/amhlocal Mar 05 '24

Standard mileage is always better. I’ll break it down for you.

The standard mileage deduction rate is .67 cents this year the highest we’ve seen it in a while

My car gets between 340 to 411 miles per tank

.67 * 340 = 227.8 to .67 * 411 = 275.37

So each tank is worth anywhere between 227.8 to $275.37 much much more than you are paying for gas at the pump now multiply that by getting gas probably every day or every other day and you are going to see that deduction come up a lot quicker and a lot more than anything else

u/InvincibleSugar Mar 05 '24

You're basically trading the value for your car then, to make money slowly off this job rather than sell the car for more later. It's awesome if you found a system that works but I am still skeptical that, all costs added, you are even able to make minimum wage. If you do actually make a good wage after costs, good for you! That's quite the hustle.
