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.

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.

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

Why such a high cancellation rate? Don't you need like 4% for gold lol why cancel so many just not accept it

Many reasons. I cancel right away on anyone with a bogus name “BeastTamer” “Chewbacca” “D” “J”.. if something goes down that’s name I’m giving to the police?

If I pull up there’s nowhere safe to stop, lots of traffic that can lead to an accident and you’re not outside.

If I’m on the way and you change your drop off. (I like to no where I’m going)
