12879210, Uber chronicles
Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Aug-13-15 12:58 PM
The good... GIRLS, lots of GIRLS...

the bad... nothing so far besides the Chicago dude who knew a faster route that wasn't faster than the route I used. I hate back seat drivers.

The hilarious... 2 white girls on their way to the JCole concert who edited out nigga when I turned around fast as shit right before the word to see if they would say it. They did a naaaaaaaeeeeeooooo....


I will post the money and details in Damalis thread at the end of this week. Prolly won't be as much since I'm in Charlotte but concerts are the money maker. I will drop off before but nah... I'm not picking up after it lets out.

I also won't do the club crowd after 2AM.

I work a full time gig as well.
12879214, How long did your background check take?
Posted by Musa, Thu Aug-13-15 01:00 PM
I signed up.
12879239, it took around 3 weeks. I think they are being more cautious

due to a few people slipping the thru the cracks. I also moved a lot in the last 7 years.

I found that emailing then sped up the process.
12879728, No doubt will email them thanks.

12879224, How much of a hassle is it?
Posted by Paps_Smear, Thu Aug-13-15 01:12 PM
If any.

I mean if you work a full work week, and you do this after work or just on the weekends? You do a certain amount of hours at night or what?

Find yourself having less "you" time since you've been doing this?
or does the money make up for that?
12879259, it definitely cuts into my time but I can walk off the job whenever i want
Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Aug-13-15 01:43 PM


and show up the next day without getting yelled at for leaving early.

I dropped these GIRLS off at a spot and almost turned my app off to chill cause that place looked fun as shit.

only problem is I can't drink because it wouldn't be a good look.

but I need to cut back on beers so it's a win win.

I'm still new to this so I'm trying to find out how to finess the schedule to make the most while driving less.

Feels like the best time would be Friday and Saturday nights where you could make the most amount of money in a short amount of time.

I'm curious about this though.
Mostly because I'm not doing much on the weekends.

Funny you say you almost turned it off and went to the party. I could see myself doing that and saying I'm just working lol.
12879294, i did that last friday
Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Aug-13-15 01:58 PM
I stopped working at 11:30 and went to the bar and had a beer. My wife gave me a "really nigga" look when I told her.

Friday and Sat are the best nights but I'm not sure about that late crowd. I may try it once this weekend to see if it's worth it.

I also heard Saturday mornings are good because people are out shopping and running errands but I have a class on Sat.
12879263, no hassle for me but...

this. :( i over-value my own me-time. I be like "Me, I really wanna hang out w/you but that means i'd have to spend money when i could be making it. Girl, bye"

so then i spend Friday night driving instead of hanging out at Brooklyn Bowl lol

>or does the money make up for that?

sometimes, yes. sometimes, no.

d
12879282, I'm finding that I'm scheduling better since i have less me time
Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Aug-13-15 01:54 PM
but I definitely need to find a schedule and try to stick to it.

it's hard tho cause when I'm not driving in thinking about how much money I'm missing out on.

I'm tryin to chill so I may need this lol

>>or does the money make up for that?

Figured its hit or miss especially with so many people getting into this. I'm curious as to how many people in my area already do it and would it be worth it.

I live very close to an airport so maybe that makes a difference too. Uber drivers interest the hell out of me, I have so many questions lol.
12879249, i had a uber driver knock on my door to let me know he was outside.
Posted by Kwesi, Thu Aug-13-15 01:38 PM
im bullshitin.

that's some funny shit, though.
12879264, creeping is at an all time high thanks to uber.
Posted by Kwesi, Thu Aug-13-15 01:46 PM
drivers are destroying relationships by taking people back and forth to illegitimate pussy and dick in the middle of the night.
12879266, nah post you stats here. i'm too busy driving to make new posts :)
Posted by Damali, Thu Aug-13-15 01:46 PM
like i actually forgot about it this week 3...
12879271, get money!

12879309, What's your rating look like? And how many rides so far?
Posted by Atillah Moor, Thu Aug-13-15 02:10 PM
If you don't mind my asking.
12879588, 5 stars
Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Aug-13-15 06:04 PM
26 rides
12879718, Nice!
Posted by Atillah Moor, Thu Aug-13-15 09:11 PM
12879570, do you know when a rider is receiving a special deal?
Posted by Kwesi, Thu Aug-13-15 05:34 PM
like a free ride or twenty dollars off

is the fare affected on your side?

do you get less?

or the only affected fares you have are surge pricing?
12879589, drivers never know if someone is using it for the first time
Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Aug-13-15 06:07 PM
but we get paid regardless

12879574, I took it last night, the driver acted like he wasn't paying us any attention
Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Thu Aug-13-15 05:39 PM
til we started talking about the strip club, and the girl said "wait, you actually ate the wings inside the strip club?" and he tried to catch his laugh, and then just let it out
12879738, Well...did you?
