Uber Navigation | Crucial Tips For More Money (ACTIONABLE) 

My first day was yesterday! I made ten trips. I did everything you instructed. I provided water, candy, mints, and tissue. Checked smells and temperature. made $100 and I checked my rating. It's 5 Star bro. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Don’t listen to the critics here about the way you present the material, like too long whatever. Be the way you are now because you are an expert at being you and what draws me to your channel is your personality. If you try to be different you won’t do it as well and be second guessing yourself. You talk fast so you get a lot more information packed into the video even if you repeat some things and by repeating some things it helps you to pull all the information out of your brain that you want to get across. People will be patient to hear everything you have to say when they realize you have and are giving away very valuable info! However, I don’t need patient to listen to you, because you are a joy to listen to. Keep up the good work! I am interested in getting started as an Uber driver. I am retired and am up all night, so I would probably start there, which maybe slower in generating money, but that’s ok, as long as I am learning all the technology and how to use it, which will be great when I’m doing the rush hours. I am a driver. I’ve always been a driver and I might as well make money doing it. I know all the traffic laws, and how to bend them. I take advantage of every driver who fails to take the right away - if they going to give it away, I’ll take it!

Thank You ! Calvin you saved my ratings and helped my income. I been driving for two weeks and made alot of mistakes which affected my ratings. Today I used your advise, I double my income and drove with confidence using Waze. Once again thank you !

It's not how hard you work it's how well you work !

I don't care how long vids is.... ALOT of GOOD INFO

Why do these rideshare companies allow customers to force drivers to be "perfect" on every pickup for a lousy $10 or even less per hour. Do McDonald's customers get to rate their servers? Do taxi companies make customers rate their drivers? No, they don't cause I drove a cab for 5 years in LA county. Uber should completely scrap this stupid rating system. Either that or use a realistic system. In a standard bell curve setup, 3 would be average, 4 above average and 5 superior. In reality, a 5 star rating should be very rare. And why should a customer expect a free bottle of water for a $6 ride? That's positively insane. We're not driving limos, we driving normal everyday vehicles for very little money. And by the way, limos charge for their amenities. Uber may want their drivers to act like private chauffeurs to the rich, but in reality, they are nothing more than private taxis and expectations shouldn't be any different than taking a taxi, especially because it is cheaper. It's not reasonable to expect better treatment when you pay less. If I get the customer to his destination safely in a reasonable amount of time, that is ALL he/she should expect, and all the company should expect. You want more raise the freakin' prices!!

Waze is great but always good to learn your city or town. Waze has let me down several times because they are late to update traffic. The best way to make more money with rideshare is to upgrade your vehicle, and most importantly, keep it clean! I upgraded my vehicle 6 months ago and have been making $2,000 more per month. Safe driving people, good luck

I love Waze! Especially as a Uber driver. I was notified of a major accident with standstill traffic. I was then able to pull up alternate routes, discuss with my riders and then continue on. They had a flight to catch and I certainly did not want them stuck in traffic! I received a 5 star review and a badge. 😎

I am on my second year with Uber. Because of your video I am going to try Waze and how you use it. I never liked Waze because I thought the "bubble with wheels" seemed childish and it was for teenagers of today.

Solid. Absolutely solid. Some of the best advice I've ever seen. Thanks for making this video man.

Hi Calvin, I love how passionately you articulate the WAZE app and it's benefits for Uber drivers. Thank you for the info!

Calvin, thanks for providing the most sensible and best tips for Uber drivers that I have seen so far on RU-vid. You have a new subscriber. I'm looking forward to many more useful tips that I expect you will provide.

Thank you for being generous enough to post all this valuable information.

I rather use Google maps it's better for me

Calvin, I have watched a few of your videos and I have got to say that you are an amazing, insightful teacher. You have literally made me money before I even started driving. Plus, I like the way you deliver your posts. You've got conviction, great knowledge and you don't talk to people like they are novices. So thank you brother for all of your videos....

Man Calvin I tell you what I just signed up to become an Uber driver here in Wilmington, NC and your videos have been very influential and informative. I've watched some others and at first glance they can really turn you off from even wanting to leap out on faith with Uber. THANK YOU FOR THE BLESSING of all the inside scoop my brother. May God continue to bless you with your businesses!

Calvin thanks a lot ...just started doing Uber and your videos are in the money. Keep it up bro.

The best advice ever! =)

Literally just starting Uber. Haven’t even drove yet cause I’m doing my research. Bro...this is dope! I will retain & use this knowledge!!! 🙏🙏🙏

I am brand new the Uber driver business. All the information you have provided in what few videos I have watched has been so very eye opening and very helpful for me when I get myself up and running. Thank you so much for making these videos Calvin.

Tremendous value on your channel. The info about using the favorites was my most useful take-away. This information transfers easily for me doing LYFT in the NC Triangle & Triad Markets. Thanks Bro!

I knew about some of waze, but thank you! Another Uber driver. =)

Thank you Calvin! You have offered more important information on how to make additional money than any other Uber driver!! I am considering this and will continue to watch your videos!!

Thank you. Good tips. Especially the favorites and the scheduled trips. Have been using Waze since I started in January.

i just want to say do your thang bro, you are by far on top of your game and your willingness to share is awesome, pay no mind to the haters, you know how there is always gonna be 3 kind of people its the nature of the beast, i love your style and delivery, keep doing what you do ,dont change a single thing

I have no interest in being an Uber driver but stumbled across your video. So engaging and great tips! Smart guy, you'll do well!

Dude, I'm just about to start driving for Uber in August or so and I just found your channel and I gotta say this is some QUALITY information. Boss level. Can't wait to watch the rest of your stuff

Thank you so much for this! I’ve been using WAZE for about 2 years now. I update, report, and all. And now since I’ve just signed up for Uber this is gold. We live near Newark airport NJ. One of the busiest airports in the country. And to top that i know my way a little around Newark. I’ll be heading there later! Thanks brother!!

i always had qualms about waze but u explained it perfectly. thinking of being an uber driver & this is definitely the gps i would use. one question though how do i switch over from my uber info to waze?

using waze but there are couple issues with that app in Chicago. 1st most common issue ...it will take you to the alley behind the street you are suppose to pick up pax 50% of the time. With lots of one way streets in the city ...that's an issue. 2 ...it will drag you through every speed bump/stop sign infested little street because it calculated that it is maybe one minute faster than main road .....but it's not considering crawl pace you are moving from one speed bump to another ....not even sure if it is aware of stop signs ....3 issue, related to 2nd. Data is delayed and it often sees heavy traffic where clearly there is non ....

I just got approved to be a driver for Uber and your videos have inspired me. Had no clue what or how to do this driving thing, now I know I'm driving with a purpose. Thank you sooooo much for your great advice. Will binge watch all your videos❤️❤️❤️

thank you at first I was scared to go out and drive but with your comment you'll become a better business person and a better driver encouraged me to go out thanks again

I switched to Waze to tonight working in Washington DC. I don't even know why I started to use Uber one first Lol.Awesome Tips. Love your first video man treat it like a business. My first week driving like any business I started off mistakes but I'm getting hang of it now. I am I the only one? UBER would get more out are Partnership with more information before getting started.

Thanks for the Tips! I really enjoy your videos. Is there a way to not accept uber pool rides without getting a bad rating?

Thanks, Calvin! New to driving for Uber and this make me feel better! You're wise and generous. Keep makin' that money ☆☆☆☆☆

I downloaded Waze this morning and I'm using it now. It works great and I get a compliment on it from a rider. Thanks for the videos!

damn very helpful brother. keep up the vids. not many uber drivers give away their tips and tricks for free.

Great ideas thank you

Thanks for the advice, I'm in the Fayetteville area which a much smaller market than atlanta, but your tips are very helpful.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Calvin. Very informative. With all the traffic in Los Angeles and All the events 24/7 I needed this . Thank you.

I'm averaging 32/hr here in Boston...the uber navi is just useless, I use waze 100% of the time

UberEats driver here. I love your tip about saving favourites destinations, but Google Maps has all the features you mentioned, including real-time traffic information. Right?

I've used this app mostly for traveling to Texas for personal use but I used it yesterday I used it to help me get a passenger to the airport on time. It was a great tool to know about and my passenger appreciated my efforts with a generous tip.

You pump me up!!!! Loved watching your video and I'm sure going to put these principles into practice. Thanks.!!! Keep up the good work...and p.s. great photo shoots you've got there

I love your channel!

you are generous man

5 star presentation by a 5 star Uber driver. Thanks for the tips. I'm only doing Uber delivery, but this will save me money. First day is tomorrow :)

Awesome vid man. Something to add - while the Waze app might be the best for predicting traffic patterns and saving you precious time, I don't like how it doesn't automatically show your saved favorites on the map. For example, if I just dropped someone off and am unfamiliar with the part of town I'm in (I drive in Philly), there's a good chance that one of my "favorites" could be just a few blocks away from me and I might not even know it. What I do is take all my favorites and save them in Waze AND google maps, because google maps is the only navigation app I know of that permanently displays your "saved" (favorited) locations as gold stars on the map - even when you're not navigating to them. So when I drop someone off I can just quickly open the google maps app and see the closest gold star (favorite) next to me, and then navigate to it in waze.

Fantastic video with some great info.

thanks a bunch.....awesome info

Thanks for the great vid again, I've just uploaded waze with the madea voice and im loving it. Now to sync it with the uber emails. Great advice thanks. I've been doing this for a while and never thought about it quite that way.

Thanks for the video. Very well-done! I've used Waze for a few months but you touched on a few features I never used. Your video was concise and easy to follow. I'm new to ridesharing. Thanks again.

I started driving Uber last week and watched this video last night. By the time the video was over, I was convinced and installed Waze last night. I used it for my first trip tonight and had to cancel the pick up because Waze was driving me in circles. I have never cancelled a pick up before and was disappointed to have to do it tonight. The second ride of the night Waze 'kinda' got me there, but thank God my passenger was going home and was able to navigate me there. It has been wrong on 3.5 out of 4 trips!! Uninstalling immediately!!

Thank you man! You are fantastic, serious about what you do and entertaining!

Everything from 14 minutes on is gold! Big ups!

Just stumbled on your videos and wanted to thank you. Lost my job a few weeks ago here in Atlanta and Uber has saved me. Switching to Waze finally today now because of this great selling point. Appreciate you!

Nothing better than Google Map @GoogleMap only will be always become first choice

Thank you, your video was very helpful

today was my first day, drove 239 miles, 5 fairs and 1 spoof wild goose chase.I an going to watch ALL your videos on this subject. Thank you.Fix, oh VA

That was really good info.. In your video i was able to : 1. Change my uber app to open waze on regular rides and pool 2. I was able to add favorite places ( genious) 3. Use the drop down waze to see what the next stop is. etc. Thanks ur the man!

Just signed up on UBER using your referral. Hope you get your bonus

The biggest feature I love about Waze is that when it directs you, it would take in the consideration the certain times on specific streets that you can't turn and so it would take you on the closest permitted turn to avoid getting a violation and it would save you time as well. I don't know if google maps could do that, can anybody confirm? Thanks

About to start driving here soon. I had no idea what to do. This man just helped me so much. I’m glad I watched the whole 21 minutes holy shit

Calvin, this Alvin in Nashville, TN.. Bruh you just changed my Uber life. I have been driving using the Uber navigation 👎🏾 thinking I had no other alternative. This video has given me priceless information that I will put to work immediately. Thank you

To simple driver: Google maps also gives you the distance and eta towards your destination, plus it recalculates fastest route automatically and shows the driver. These have been in place before waze was even created. Granted, you don't have the social function but Google maps shows you traffic jams through the color of the route...dark red means heavy jam. Google maps also show you route preview and is available in all countries. Even though waze has the social function, it's not practical for drivers to be texting while driving, plus most of the time, their phones are attached to the car mount so it's not going to be easy to text with two hands or take pictures. While waze's social function is cool, I find the app less stable than Google maps. Sometimes the loading of the app can have glitches. Getting passengers to wait even half a minute is not going to get you five stars mates.

I just move to Austell GA from Virginia and just signed up for uber earlier this week. I'm still waiting for it to get approved so I can start. I'm hoping atl make good money

It's my FIRST time on your page... I'm a oklahoma City Uber driver... Just want to say thanks for sharing your knowledge to help others

Calvin, thanks so much for what you are offering to us newbies and the pros alike. I just got my UBER "ticket" and am planning my first ride tomorrow. I'm in Atlanta as well, Grant Park. I think I have done all my preparation and am ready. Actually I might start out in Lawrenceville, my old stomping grounds, to get my feet wet before I take on ATL.

thanks for the tutorial, but I wish you would have gotten to the point z little sooner. ijs

I'm confused why u don't use Google Maps. That basically has the same features as this Waze app. Favorites, route preview, etc. Or does iPhones not have Google maps?

you're a natural in front of the camera, not easy to do, you also have some of the best info I have seen yet. Thank you for all you are doing. You have saved me hours and months of learning.

Thanks for your knowledge. I am a new Uber driver while I am looking for a job. I was doing the complete opposite of what you teach in your videos. You are on point and very honest and generous for sharing valuable info.

I understand WAZE is good, I just think it is to distracting while driving.How safe is it really trying to drive and seeing all the updates?

where do you get that Uber shirt? Looks nice!

I am not an Uber driver but I enjoyed your video which helped me with good waze tips. Your a good speaker too! Thank you.

Great tips!! Thank you so much, I'm guilty of driving around aimlessly after a drop off, well not anymore now that I know how to save locations to my favorites!!

waze is so buggy for me. It is always like 10 seconds behind my actual location.

This was an ad for Waze. This vid also doesn't work in 2019.

That was excellent! And, its not about playing with the app. Its about being ready, prepared when you hit the street! Thank you so much for this video!

This man here is dailed in x 5 with the caring and sharing to boost your Uber driving everyone. This is goal for you !

Sir, you are wasting your time with this, you have both the drive and the ability to be your own business owner.... may i suggest starting a local taxi company? you already know the area better than anyone, you can suggest places for a good time too. Or you could have an app, or maybe a website may be better. for your local area made that helps people decide where to go, based on your research, with ads being your revenue source, ( subtle header and footer ads, no popups)

Your information is cool but you take so long to make a point. Plus you say the same thing for 5 minutes before even explaining what you're trying to get to.

I have been using waze for a while, it is the best. I have just started with uber and I am happy to view your video to get some inside tips on earing money. I have subscribe to your channel and I will be viewing your video often. You have given me some great tips to do. I am new in the state of Nevada, Las Vegas. I have visited Vegas for many years the strip and downtown, but the rest of the town, I don't know well. So your tips are really good for me to follow. Keep up the good work and you are a five star with me.

it's Aug 2018 and I can't THANK YOU enough for this video! Mega love from your new Australian sub! thank you again & God Bless You my bro xo

you could have handled this in much less time. People tend to look at Videos that are high in content but much shorter.

non of things you said will make you Xtra. you can use Google map and getting better result. Your video is just waste of time

Thank You for all your Help I am starting this weekend and wanting to be on top of everything. I have watched a few of your videos and they are all really informative. Thanks again.

The info starting around the 18-minute mark to navigate out of neighborhoods is very valuable. Thank you.

Excellent info.!! My first night was yesterday and I was trying to use the ridiculous Uber navigation. If it hadn't been for my car navigation I would have been lost most of the night.. I am going to try Waze.. Thank you!!

BRILLIANT! THANKS FOR THE TIPS & TAKING TIME TO EXPLAIN. BEST TIP - 'FAVORITES'

As a new driver that doesn't have a lot of time, I appreciate the information that can save me time, build professionalism as well as maximize income. Thanks for doing what you do.

Calvin, stellar video. New Uber X driver in Rhode Island. Hoping to catch special events surges in Providence and Newport. Your tips are making me feel more confident! Thank you!

Thank you so much man. Just starting out this week and I'm really glad I watched this before I started! Great information sir!! 👍👍👍👍

super informative man i appreciate it. Just got approved today and I've been watching tip videos nonstop and yours are super clear and easy to understand. you earned yourself a sub brother

hey man great video this is what I do since I start doing Uber this really works with Waze sometimes during the trip I press navigation again and it will tell me new route with less traffic during the same trip...

This is definitely the best navigation system to use! All these social updates do help you advert traffic and keep your clients very, very happy. Always receive a high rating when this saves my client time!

Great video. I appreciated the long video. I had heard of Waze before but just figured it was no different than any other navigation. Now I feel like I am going into this app with a little bit of knowledge. Thanks

Use Waze all the time for my commute including favorites and planned trips, but I LOOOOVE the tip for key destinations in unfamiliar areas and arriving early to events. Just got cleared yesterday to drive in DFW and hoping to make some $$$ this holiday weekend!

Key word...water hole. I got it! I'm going to check my surrounding counties and locate the shopping plazas, concert arenas, & airports. I'm in Northern VA. Thank you!

Great videos man just decided to join the UBER team and you as my mentor, I also do videos on RU-vid and have a Facebook page already setup, hope to make you proud and UBER UP!!!
