Uber lies to get people to drive their own personal vehicle for them as taxies incurring all the expenses other taxi companies pay to provide the same services. You will not be reimbursed for fuel, maintenance, wear and tare depreciation of your vehicle and any other expenses to drive for Uber. They say you will make $45.00 an hour. This statement is false. After taxes, fees, fuel, vehicle expenses, tolls you will be lucky if you take home minimum wage. Then you start to realize you are being lied to about special offers to provide services on a specific date for a set amount of time for which you will be paid a large flat amount of 30- 40- 50 dollars an hour and you do provide the required services but uber refuses to pay claiming you didn't meet one of their set criteria's even though you had. You begin to realize Uber is unjustly enriching them selves at your hard work and expense. After I had agreed twice on two separate occasions to drive during a requested period for which I would receive hourly compensation unless I earned above the amount, both times I didn't get the pay. The reason changed three different times after I could provide evidence that I did in fact meet the obligation. The final reason stated that I would not receive the pay due to my failing to maintain a high enough rating from those I served. The rating system is computer controlled by Uber who can change the rating to appear as though you failed to provide a good enough service and therefore not pay for the services received. This is outright fraud. So after I complained the first time I all of a sudden received a suspension from Uber who stated I had a complaint that I appeared to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol. I was suspended from driving for three days before I was allowed to drive again which cost me a loss of earnings. The claim which was made by a rider who was upset that I went to the wrong apartment complex even though I stopped the meter half way through the trip upon realizing the error and adjusted the overall cost by entering the correct beginning address and ending address which calculates the correct fee for the ride. The rider stated she shouldn't be charged anything and was going to report me to uber. As I stated to uber and the only reason I was reinstated was because I had completed numerous trips before the report and no other riders had stated I appeared to be under the influence. The exact same thing happened two months later in a another city, I was suspended because a rider claimed I appeared to be under the influence again. This occurred after my filing the second complaint for money not paid to me. This time like the first I had many riders before the complaint and as such no other complaints but I was still not allowed to drive for almost a week. After driving for more than 5 months in two major cities and two small rural town and completing over 1, 000 trips I have no moving violations and the two tickets I received, one for parking in a taxi designated area when the city ordinance declared I was to be considered a Taxi, and second was for failure to obey a traffic control device when I entered a road closed to get to a gas station as I was running out of gas. Both were dismissed by the courts. However Uber has given me a permanent suspension claiming my driving has been reported numerous times as being unsafe.. Just like the rating system there is no way to verify the information and I must take ubers word for it. I question the numerous times claim because no one ever notified me that I was receiving these reports and if it was happening surly the 4.41 rating out of a possible 5 when averaged over 1000 riders and 4 months does not reflect numerous complaints. So beware if you want to drive for uber thinking you will make a lot of money. Take it from an expert you will barley make minimum wage and with all the hassles it really isn't worth it. And if you get terminated you cant even file for unemployment.
