The Uber Driver app says I completed 3 trips today I made a little over $60.00. It has got to do I think with me getting up at 10:00 AM now instead of 8:00 AM has got something to do with me making so little now. I am pretty sure this coming week Ruby is going to go over 500K miles. I’m going to record it and post it here.
The Uber driver app says I completed 3 trips today. I earned a little over $80.00. Saturday’s have historically been really good, I made a mistake around 4PM that cost me about $30.00. When driving Rideshare a single mistake can cost a lot. Everything is in where you choose to do pickups, and exactly which rides you decide to take, and which kind of vehicle you choose to drive Rideshare in. So driving Rideshare is very High Risk but very low income. If you make a mistake, things can get very bad, very quickly too. Also today, Uber did an update that removed the ability to text riders. I need that ability to send out my rules in advance of their trip, and that have arrived and there was only a phone icon there.
This is the 6th time they have done that to me.
That message (currently is on the miscellaneous tab) I send out to the rider’s before I get to them is very polite, but assertive and right then and there they can and some have Canceled (I didn’t really notice a difference when I started using it like 8 months after I started driving) most riders don’t read it, and I can not help that. If they are breaking any of my rules in that message, or Uber’s rules. I just cancel that trip without discussion and go on to the next trip. A big rule that they usually break of mine is they have a drink, I cancel immediately as soon as I see it. Not nearly as much now though because of trip radar and upfront pricing. The two biggest rules that are broken by riders both a lot are, no more than 4 riders (In addition to the driver) in an Uber X, and no car seat for an infant. If that child can’t walk alone, I need to see a car seat. The over 4 passenger rule you can really only determine by stopping. The no car seat thing, I determine from the car as soon as I see the child. In Florida the law says any child under 6 years old needs a car seat. Since I am a parent and pretty observant, I usually can tell right away. I just cancel, and move on to the next ride. A canceled trip either by the rider or the driver can not be rated. It’s the only way to protect my vehicle (which I use to make my living with) and my rating.
The Uber driver app says I took 2 trips today, and I earned a little over $85.00. It was an Oil Change Friday. In Manatee County Spring Break started last week on the 13th and just today I picked up this young dude named will
and he said “his Spring Break started as soon as his last class was over today” lmao.
As far as staff, it starts on 03/20/2023 and goes through a single 5 day week and ends on Friday 03/24/2023. Spring Break is the best driving week ever.
The Uber driver app says I completed 3 trips today, I earned a little under $95.00. I met a really cool couple today they were from Massachusetts. I knew they we’re going to be a cool ride because we talked about my favorite subject, well actually it is right behind my favorite topic which is food lmao! We spoke about marijuana and about how it is now, contrasted with how it used to be. Kevon made the request on SPB and we went to Bradenton.
It was a good ride as I predicted. Kevon is also a fellow Uber driver.
The Uber driver app Says I completed 3 trips today. I earned just over $65.00. I knowingly left Pinellas county at 4:30 PM that cost me around $25.00 at least. I saw a request that was headed to Ellenton and was paying like $32.00 so I took it, and went offline, then home. I got home at like 6:15 PM. Sunset now that Stupid time change. So we should just leave here now.
The Uber driver app says I took 4 trips today.
I made a little over $100.00. Saturday’s at night was always the best night of the week for me. Thankfully Sunday Daytime is even better driving than Saturday Nights used to be. I am talking about volume of rides. You need to decline a lot of trips to find a good one now anyway. It used to be way different. The driver did not know the destination until the rider was in the car and the driver started the trip. Just stop reading right now and think about that. I drove the majority of my 10,000 trips like that. So a driver would drive for several miles and the rider would be going just a few blocks. Lots of those kind of trips every day. I used to drive 7 days a week too. So tomorrow is usually the best non-holiday week. I have had a bad day every day of the week. The best days for driving for Uber are the last two weeks in March every year.

I forgot to blog last night, that is a side effect of not blogging as soon as I get home. I try not to forget, but I do. I just fell asleep soon after I ate. The Uber app says I completed 3 trips yesterday and I earned a little over $100.00. It rained in St. Petersburg yesterday and my wipers worked on all speeds which is a good thing because my mechanic didn’t have time to do anything last time but replace the brake actuator which is a pretty big job
It UPS arrived with the new/used head (342.40 shipped) unit for my car. It worked perfectly! I watched a couple videos again, went out there, took out the Map disk from the old unit first (2019) (62.04 shipped) using what I just learned on YouTube, took out the old unit, put in the new unit and everything works perfectly! I put in the new unit and then came in and rode the Peloton and tomorrow I will go driving with that new unit, the Aux cable works again! So does everything else. I can tell which road I am currently driving on and CD’s play again too! So awesome!
The Uber driver app says I took a single trip today, I made just over $60.00. Waze also told me that there were $4.00 in SunPass tolls. I am trying to cut down an the miles on Ruby so I don’t leave home until like noon time. Tonight I got home at exactly 8:01 PM. The immediate pay for Uber though is freedom. That is immediate though. You really need to have already like $50K per year. Or you will be old and broke like me. I am blogging right now and literally rolling over to sleep.
