They give you the substitute teacher treatment if you're lucky, sometimes it's even worse.ĭoing their food delivery is just as bad. Meanwhile you have entitled passengers who get upset over the smallest of things such as it took an extra five minutes to arrive because of traffic. The potential to be instantly deactivated is there with no forewarning. Their 3rd party support hotline doesn't care about you, they have thick accents which makes it hard to understand, and at the end of the day you're fending for yourself. In a typical day you're going to drive 100+ miles in any direction, never knowing where you're going because Uber hides as much information as possible from you. Occasionally you get a free meal if you can't reach a customer for delivery. It's up to you when you want to work, for how long, and how you make it work for you. You wake up when you want and work when you want. You don't have a boss calling you at 4am asking you to come in early. When Uber was my only job, I'd be clocking thousands of miles per month onto my vehicle just to pay bills and put food on the table. Pay is abysmal in poor delivery areas, and barely enough in richer areas. The app's lack of function is a lose-lose situation. Message support, and they'll tell you there is nothing they can do about it.

Call support and you'll be on hold for 40 minutes. You're completely on your own, and if something in the app doesn't work, there's nothing you can do about it.

It gets very old after a while, but you also get better at it and get to know your delivery area better the more you drive around.ĬONS: The app has some serious issues, such as not being able to scan a valid registration sticker on a new vehicle, and support for drivers is critically lacking. At times between my regular jobs, it would be all I had going for me to pay the bills, sometimes for months at a time. I've been working on and off for Uber Eats delivery driving for several years now.
