Uber Driver Part 2

...

As a driver I have had to restart the phone a few times on both apps in the middle of a trip cause it just froze or lost connection. There programs always auto save the trip right where the connection is lost. After the phone comes back on line either app will refresh itself and I have been able to end the trip as I would have normally.

However when your a new driver no one tells you this, so your first thought is the trip is lost and your not going to get paid. Generally its just a few bucks anyway and not worth getting all excited about it. Especially going over the top like he did.

I had this happen Monday in Bev Hills on a 1.5 surge. But what happened was a security update auto downloaded and ended the trip 12-14 miles b4 I got to LAX, even though after dropping them off the app seemed work correctly when I ended the trip. Well after the second email uber paid up. Although 2 or 3 dollars short. So I just decided good enough cause it's so not worth trying to fight them over a couple of dollars.

As a driver / rider the key is, do not ever contact there support unless you absolutely have to. Because support is the absolute worse of any bodies. Lyft is a bit better but not by much.

Oh and 8) pick a driver who has 3 or 4 star ratings, and has made over 500 rides at least !

Drivers are suppose to get deactivated if there rating falls below 4.6

As a consequence, as a rider if your rating falls below 4.7-4.6 There is good chance your not going to be pick up by a veteran driver as we know better.

It also is a signal that you never tip your driver either. And your not a 5 star rider to begin with. So if your rating sucks it would be wise to start tipping your driver.

Uber is much more responsive when their reputation is getting burned at the stake via social media posts of trips gone wrong, particularly if caught on tape.
