Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi claims drivers earn $32 per active hour on the platform. But is that figure realistic?
In this week's "Driver Diary," RSG Senior Contributor Sergio Avedian goes out on a fact-finding mission.
With ~40 minutes of uncut, unedited footage from his vehicle, Sergio accepts both rideshare and delivery requests to see if the $32/hour benchmark holds up.
Sergio also discusses strategies delivery drivers can use to maximize earnings in certain markets. In California, where Proposition 22 ensures a 125% pay guarantee, optimizing for deliveries can improve income.
Tune in as one driver puts Uber's touted hourly rate to the real-world test. Will the numbers add up? Get an unfiltered look at one shift on the road and decide for yourself if $32 is attainable.

They did a hiring freeze during the pandemic. 70-80% of drivers went on unemployment. I drove during the entire pandemic full time. I was lucky. Never got sick. Was always busy. I know it’s wishful thinking, but doing another freeze to prevent drivers from entering poverty could be wise.

Hell yea. They ingeniously played the long game well on us. At first there were surges, quest, and higher base fares all together. We were making bank. Our friends thought it was too good to be true and we were miscalculating long term costs. Then base fares started to slowly creep down but it didnt matter because we were still making bank with surges and quests. Then the surges started going away slowly at first then altogether. But it was ok because base fares were going down but still ok at other times. Just keep working a little more. It will be ok. And by the time surges went away completely with grey clouds we noticed the quest were getting lower and lower every week to almost nothing. But it will be ok. We were expecting this as quest were only brought on to encourage more new drivers when the app was new and when pandenmic recover period happened. It was all ok because as long you worked enough hours cherry picked the best rides you were ok. You could still use your experience to make more than new drivers. Then finally quest either went away some weeks or are complete garbage quest. And you thought well it might be ok except now base fares seem to suck too. Then finally just no hiding it. Ping rates per hour have gone to almost nothing even on what used to be the busiest nights and hours. Base fares are simply insulting. The offered quest is completely worthless. Its been a slow boil and all of us frogs failed to ask ourselves, should we get out the fkn pot.

On the bottom of the app I noticed that "you're online" never flipped over to "finding trips". It's supposed to go back n forth. This happens frequently to me in my market so if I see it hasn't flipped in a minute or so I back completely out of the app and then back in. Then it flips to "finding trips" and I get a request rather quickly. If that doesn't work I walk around with phone in hand and sometimes that will trigger the flip and then an incoming request.

Intresting. I was starting to notice and was about to eperiment that it seems like when I am stationary the app simply slows down and gives me nothing. But the moment I put my book down and start to move the car it seems like thats when i get a ping. So was wondering if it really is intentional or all in my head. Like they want us aimlessly in motion in a way to have more coverage instead of just parked reading.

Don’t forget that if you make enough with regular Uber rideshare to cover prop 22 pay and extra, that extra amount will go toward your proper 22 Uber eats pay also, and you’ll end up with no extra pay for your Uber eats. It just takes one long Uber ride that pays extra well, and then you’ll end up with no extra pay for your Uber eats prop 22. You’re basically paying yourself your own prop 22 pay, very annoying. This applies if you are using a single account for both Uber rideshare and Uber eats.

Seating and waiting for trips is not your biggest issue as it helps you rest. The issue is when a trip comes Uber grabs the most money. I remember a few years ago, I could wait for 45 minutes at times and at the end the day still make good money. Today I could drive for 12 hours straight I still make less than back when I used to wait for 20 to 45 minutes for trips. Ridesharing is a scam now.

I’ve learned a couple new realities this week. One, I accept absolutely no rides that pay under $2.35/mi. (Know your breakeven number) AND I no longer accept rides with STOPS (they are often likely drug dealers taking you into BAD neighborhoods and endangering your safety and/or life). I know now from my very recent experience. I was unknowingly put into this situation and you can’t escape it if the dealer is in your car with a loaded gun he had concealed and doesn’t get out, and then just hands the “goods/drugs” to his “cousin” outside the window. You’re trapped and can’t do much about it. What are you going to do, get out of your car to run through a dark neighborhood you’re not familiar with late at night?? NOT. Also, DO NOT SHARE ANY personal information or permit any photos with a rider who you suspect as suspicious or questionable. P.S. UBER did NOT share (or even indicate) a specific stop location upon asking me to accept and provide a ride.

Recommendation: Drivers should seriously consider, with Sergio coordinating the effort, calling for a Nationwide Strike. The way to send an impactful message to Uber we all need a raise of rates to at least guarantee a minimum of $8 on EVERY trip. To do this, ALL drivers MUST work together. How? Turn off the UBER APP at an agreed specified hour nationwide. (i.e. - at 4:30 pm on Wednesday Jan 10) ALL drivers cooperatively agree to shut down for two hours. This would get UBER’s attention and make them realize that more pay is needed now. UBER is taking over 60% on Miami based rides in my experience. WTF ! Also I don’t think riders would stop using the app as they value the UBER service and need it when traveling as it is cheaper than a cab or renting a car.

I have a friend that has a airport transportation company and he usually gives me rides that are worth a 100 dollars for each ride. The only thing is that I am currently driving a hertz rent a car so I don't have commercial insurance so I have to go out and buy myself a vehicle and put commercial insurance on it so that I am not taking any risk.

9am on a saturday. Maybe by 930 945am it might oickup for those needing to be to work ar 10am. 10am to 2pm would probably be semi steady. But your market may be flooded with drivers. I dont believe its ever often for 32 an hour for that long. I did a 30an hour today saturday for 6.5hours straight. It is true you have to work the hours the MARKET needs you. So no it shouldnt. If there is no market we lyft and uber would tell you to go home. Like they do in every other employee.

@sergioSMTMC1 it slow because of the number of drivers online. Theres hundreds near you. Its slow because of the amount of people who cant find other jobs but you can always lyft and uber. Thats a pitfall of a free and open market. But you want us to pay you a dedicated wage just to be online when theres not enough customers for everyone. You want a closed market that only allows the drivers to fill the market. That then gets to define when it needs or doesnt need you to drive. I prefer an open market and i moved to a market that could support me in these troubled times. I didnt go blaming the creators of a free and open market because they allow everyone in and theres too many of you online. But yes thats kool aid...

@sergioSMTMC1 It's tricky cus we have the option to reject rides/deliveries while logged in. So maybe there needs to be some sort of compensation or incentive to accept more rides per hour or per time logged on?? I know most will say " yes it's pay" but maybe there is an amount uber can add to those who accept more so we're compensated for taking on more trash jobs?????? I don't know \_0_/

Does Uber guarantee Prop 22 minimum wage per ride/delivery or do they calculate your pay over some time period (day, week, two weeks) and figure out your dollars per hour over that timespan? Is waiting time counted? Is pickup time counted? Is waiting time after arrival counted? Or is just the ride time counted?

@doinitwell67 6 ай бұрын

It is calculated by your active time. From the miles to get to your destination for pick up, then pick up to delivery. They accumulate all hours and mileage and that's your amount you'll be paid every two weeks.

@JohnSendrey 6 ай бұрын

@@doinitwell67 I think I still don't understand. If I make $3 below Prop 22 wage on one ride and make $3 above Prop 22 wage on the next ride, do the two cancel, or do I make Prop 22 wage on one ride becaues they top it off and then make $3 above Prop 22 wage on the next ride? It just seems that if you get some rides above and others below, then they end up canceling or averaging out, and you don't necessarily get paid extra for any single ride.

Uber Pay focuses on time-driven. if it's not busy. Uber pays the driver ~ $22-20. Rush time you can get around $32. For a 20-minute ride, uber will offer something close to $7-5 and keep increasing the pay until a driver accepts it.

I ignore the $$$ as well. As it says, 'historical' data within the last 28 days. Drivers in my town seem to flock to them. I just drive away from them if they are near me. Those $$$ don't mean anything to me. I just started driving & use the Uber app to see where the other cars are as well. Figured that on my own before I started following this page. Common sense. But it's not bad, usually 8 cars out during the day (small town here) and about 3 cars around midnight & from 1am to 6am, usually just one car parked somewhere. Nothing is open from 1am on.

Not really for free, the tax payers paid for the food because it was one of the typical delivery scams with a fraudulent customer or driver and it winds up going down as a loss in everyone’s ledger that ultimately circumvents tax code.
