They win. I quit. Hopefully this will be my last month as a full time driver. I worked 14 hours yesterday and made $290 with tips and a Lyft Challenge bonus. Absolutely ridiculous. 14 hours should net twice that much. They have reduced us to $20 an hour workers.
The rideshare companies don’t and can’t set the prices. The Biden administration that allows tens of millions of il legals in drives your pay down to peanuts.
@@007josiah also, I don’t want to do this job for $20-$25 an hour. I used to make around $40 an hour. It’s just not worth it with everything going up due to inflation.
If you drive rideshare fulltime, and you want to keep driving people around to earn your income, the smart move is to get your private driver credentials. Find out what's required in your market (licenses, permits, ins., etc.) and do it. uber/lyft are routinely taking 40%-70%. You can turn that into 0%.
Up until November 2023 my minimum during a weekday was $250 maxes around 600 on any given weekday. My minimum on weekends was 4:50 and I could max out any given weekend for no reason at all at 7:00 or 800 bucks and I had six days over $1,000. Now during the week I struggle to make 200 max3 and on weekends I struggle to make 300 max 350. And it's not just summer slow months this started actually in November 2023. Uber has made significant changes to surge pricing. They reduce the max surge from $30 to $20 in my market. Instead of running surge prices they'll ask drivers from as far as 30 mi away to come and do a pickup at an event in downtown. I was offered $4 to drive 15 miles to downtown and do a 1 mi ride. My acceptance rate is below 7% on Uber and below 1% on Lyft.
Jay, you did about as good of a job as anyone could at this point in time, but even your fine effort can't make up for the reality that earnings have plummeted so far that I can't imagine how anyone can eek out a living doing this work these days. It's not like it was easy to achieve before or during the pandemic, but you could do it. Now, even if someone coul apply every single one of your tips -- and every single strategy ever provided by the Rideshare Guy channel for that matter -- the money simply isn't out there any more.
Work the hours others don’t want. Overnight is busy for me. Work until you get kicked off app for break. Never heard somebody working the whole 84 hours not making money. Always the ones working 5 hours then quitting cause it’s not busy complaining how Uber Lyft fcking them over
@@billestep6804 I am not complaining about making money. I know a trade and know better then to expect gig work to get anyone ahead. You dont have to be a communist to understand that working 84 hours a week aint healthy
