The Reality of Being an Uber Eats Driver Right Now

Uber eats is so rough right now...

[imdurmac]

I don’t accept any offers where the mileage is more than the money and I definitely don’t accept any offers where the total time is more than 25 mins. If drivers band together to stop this madness from delivery apps.

Thanks for giving an honest review and not inflating the numbers like all the others..

If you are not a full time UE deliverer or if you do not depend on UE for living, I would suggest skipping the bad orders...you would rather save gas by ignoring the bad orders. My personal rule of thumb is I would only accept orders on which the pay is at least twice the mileage

2022: $100 to $150
2023: $70
Now : $30

Those orders are terrible.
Its better to not even take those and get a 9 to 5

When are people going to realize these companies are running game on the drivers and everything is done to benefit them not the drivers

[ChiSoxEdits]

The issue isn’t even the non tippers, it’s the fact that Ubereats and DoorDash are so expensive.

5 McChickens and a coke in person cost around 23 dollars. With Ubereats or dash you’re getting charged 10-18 dollars including tip.

I swear apartment buildings in the US are horrible. Are those building numbers and range of apartment numbers for said building EVER lit up properly at night? You would think the builders could afford to light up some numbers on

[damonesiem]

This is why things will never change because people like this taking these two dollar offers

[ABIGDNKY]

those pay rates are TERRIBLE....a buy accepting them... YOUR DRIVING THE MARKET DOWN AND 20$FOR 16 MILES IS RIDICULOUS

Yea, a year or 2 ago it was really good, now so many people doing it now. And i think cause people be making these videos saying how easy it is and how much money they were making. Now everyone and they brother, uncle, sister's cousins friend is doing gig work lol plus everything so expensive. Pay like $30 just for a burger meal to be delivered. To much saturation and high price killed gig work

7:00 I like to tie the two handles of plastic bags together instead of leaving them loose. I just feel like it gives the impression of the delivery being more secure.

I did Uber Eats back in 2017 and now I'm back to it, after losing a job. It has become a lot worse. Is not just that the orders pay less now (and gas prices went up) but the app's GPS is lagging and freezing all the time. Sometimes it makes me drive a couple of blocks in the wrong direction before it corrects itself and tells me to make a U-turn. Sometimes it tells me to turn when I already passed the spot. It makes you waste a lot of time.

Well done this is an honest video imho, most people make up fairytales about this ish and mislead people perhaps, but this is really sort of on average what it is sort of like perhaps. Props for being honest man.

It’s either feast or famine depending on who you talk to. Some are saying how food delivery sucks now and how you’ll only make below minimum wage…while others are saying they make $2, 000 a week. I think it depends on the person & where they live.

[scottysblog]

I hate delivering to apartment complexes. Especially the ones where I have to walk up to the 3rd or 4th floor. They are confusing and frustrating.

[justianfox]

My problem with Uber eats is arguably worse where you see what I call reverse orders were you see something like $5 for 10 whole miles or $4 for 6miles

[TheOutsider]

0:56 Ah, bro that shi is the worst lmao. I always avoid putting the food right in front of the screen/security door. As someone who both drives and orders alot, not being able to open the door without knocking over the food is the worst. Even lost a drink one time because of it.

I noticed a lot of drivers do this and I just assume they don't order that much themselves because they never see what happens when the customer tries to retrieve it lmao.

Personally, when I deliver leave at door orders, I try to leave it on the side of the screen/security door with the handle so that all they have to do is crack the door to retrieve it.

[queenjerz]

This is why i only like to deliver around 6pm cause most ppl are home and you only droppin off at houses/apartments but apartments are the worse when you live on the 3rd floor

[brennenhalbert]

I've been experimenting and started taking subpar orders usually less than a $1 mile and uber will add on a second order that's usually better than the one I have like 60 to 70% of the time. uber has been adding orders all throughout the trip this past month, they didn't used to do it once you left the restaurant. He's right about the food being ready
