Lyft and Uber are In Hot Water AGAIN [ ShowMeTheMoneyClub | ridexserve | aacreation911

00:00:02:05 – 00:00:32:17

#therideshareguy YouTube

All right. All right, we’re left. Sergio. Well, yes, sir. Well, we’re back on. Show me the Money Club. Another episode with wonderful guests today. Today, we’re we’re we’re really honored to have David Seligman, Ben Valdez, Nicole Moore and Rachel Dempsey. And all those are the plaintiffs on the latest antitrust lawsuit that they have the Taliban and Rachel Dempsey are accountable for.

 

00:00:32:17 – 00:01:04:02

#therideshareguy YouTube

And Nicole Moore, an old friend from four years or 44 years ago, she she’s the head of Art of You right here. Drivers United, a local based group with our guys, up to 15,000 members. Nicole, 20 K 20 K There we go. Okay. So, you know, today we’re all here to discuss more than discuss actually to get information on this latest lawsuit, the antitrust lawsuit against Uber and Lyft.

 

00:01:05:08 – 00:01:26:25

#therideshareguy YouTube

And what I’m going to do is I’m going to go around the clock. Actually, first of all, did the legal counsel introduce themselves and then Ben and Nicole, a short introduction, and then we’ll get into to hearing what they have to say. So David and Rachel, go ahead. Introduce yourselves. Hi. Thanks so much for having us here. You’re on, Chris.

 

00:01:26:25 – 00:01:54:08

#therideshareguy YouTube

I’m David Seligman. I’m an attorney and the executive director of Towards Justice. We’re a nonprofit legal organization that litigate on behalf of workers. And I am Rachel Dempsey. I’m a staff attorney also at Towards Justice. Wonderful. And Ben and Nicole, go ahead. So I’m Ben Valdez. I’m a truck driver for both Uber and Lyft, just over 10,000 rides.

 

00:01:54:08 – 00:02:22:09

#therideshareguy YouTube

And I’ve been driving since 2015. Right. I’m Nicole more I’m a part time driver and I’m one of the founders of Rideshare Drivers United and currently the president. And I’m hoping to be a class in this lawsuit at some point. Yes. Well, we Chris has put, I think, the link on the show notes as far as who has information or can join when this becomes a class.

 

00:02:23:06 – 00:03:02:12

#therideshareguy YouTube

But before that, let’s. David, can you explain what the suit is about? Sure. Thanks. Thanks, Sergio. So we are representing three drivers, including Ben, and bringing a proposed class action lawsuit in in California. And those drivers are seeking to represent a class of all drivers in California who opted out or endless arbitration clauses. So to Nicole’s point about being a hoping to be a class member here, we’ll talk more, Rachel.

 

00:03:02:12 – 00:03:25:12

#therideshareguy YouTube

We’ll talk a little bit more about what people’s rights are and what they should know if they think that they are a potential class member, if the case proceeds and proceeds of the class action. But just to give a brief overview of what the case is and what it’s about, the core of this case is the argument that Uber and Lyft can’t have it both ways.

 

00:03:25:13 – 00:04:08:20

#therideshareguy YouTube

So on the one, they can’t, on the one hand deny their their workers the benefits of employee status, like minimum wage and all the other protections, without also giving them the economy and independence that the antitrust laws require to be extended to independent contractors. So, you know, for example, it is her say a legal, we allege under California law for Uber and Lyft to fix prices that are charged to two riders across the platforms to deny their drivers the flexibility and autonomy to set prices for themselves.

 

00:04:08:21 – 00:05:00:03

#therideshareguy YouTube

That that is, we allege, a violation of the antitrust laws in California antitrust law. In addition, we allege that various of Uber’s endless practices are illegal under as as being unfair and and deceptive. So, for example, we allege that that Uber and Lyft failure to provide drivers with information about the destination of rides, information that’s not conditioned on a certain minimum acceptance rate, for example, but their failure to provide information about the destination of rides in advance of accepting a ride is that is illegal.

 

00:05:00:25 – 00:05:32:22

#therideshareguy YouTube

We allege that that their practice of extending secret bonuses and payments to some drivers and not to others is illegal. With respect to many of these practices, of course, the companies would be permitted to engage in them, perhaps if their drivers were were employees. Right, too. So a company can say, for example, what prices must be charged to customers by employees.

 

00:05:32:22 – 00:06:01:19

#therideshareguy YouTube

That’s that’s that’s something the companies do all the time. They deny their employees the autonomy and independence to set prices for themselves. But we say the companies can’t, on the one hand, deny their drivers the benefits of employee status, while at the same time not providing to them the independence and flexibility to make those kinds of decisions on their own.

 

00:06:01:23 – 00:06:24:25

#therideshareguy YouTube

Great. Rachel, do you have anything to add to that? No, I think David summed it up pretty well. Okay. So, Nicole, I’ve known you for a while, right. And we’ve I’ve done a few pieces, actually, on the radio. I’ve even gone to a couple of your demonstrations, actually. Well, I mean, they were they were awesome. And then the pandemic came, obviously, Rachel kind of, you know, went away.

 

00:06:25:09 – 00:06:46:28

#therideshareguy YouTube

But now it’s back in full force again. Right. So but I know to use Starting Point with a couple hundred people and now you just said, you know, you guys are up to 20,000, our own 20,000 members, drivers, by the way, or like delivery drivers and rideshare drivers. Yeah. I mean, the majority of us are rideshare drivers. I will say that a lot of people stopped driving during the pandemic.

 

00:06:46:28 – 00:07:16:26

#therideshareguy YouTube

Right, because the risk was too high and their beginning when they sat down, there were no rides to pick up. So that’s kind of, you know, so 20,000, those people are people who at least have driven since you and I met Sergio. And there’s a lot of new drivers coming in right now, you know, just kind of flooding the streets and brand new because the economy sucks and everybody’s having a hard time pay for groceries.

 

00:07:16:26 – 00:07:37:00

#therideshareguy YouTube

So people are like trying to pick up some extra hours with driving. And so we know that in order for us to change the conditions that drivers are working under, we have to be the majority of drivers. And so, you know, we’re always working to pull new people into the organization. Yeah, I mean, I agree with you on that.

 

00:07:37:21 – 00:08:05:15

#therideshareguy YouTube

So I know what you stand for. But can you tell me a little bit more about what are the your members are thinking about this flexibility and freedom rhetoric, which I wrote about actually, ironically, it got published yesterday. And, you know, flexibility and freedom is something that I honestly I’m not buying. But then, you know, a lot of people are saying, look, you know, whenever you can turn the app on and off, that gives you you enough flexibility and freedom.

 

00:08:05:15 – 00:08:21:19

#therideshareguy YouTube

But, you know, if I do it at three in the morning, I’m not going to make any money. But if I am, I’m going to make $40 an hour. So to me, it’s like, who cares about flexibility and freedom if I turn it, you know, they make it sound like, you know, turn the app on and go and it’s flexible and it’s freedom.

 

00:08:21:19 – 00:08:44:06

#therideshareguy YouTube

While I you know, my last sentence of the article was there is nothing flexible or free in Uber land, but let me hear what you thinking about that, Nico, about the flexibility and freedom aspect and what your members are thinking about it? Yeah, I mean, I think drivers, we need flexibility whether it’s to pick up our kids, whether it’s to try to figure out how to work with another job, which is what I do.

 

00:08:45:02 – 00:09:01:27

#therideshareguy YouTube

And, you know, to be able to, you know, take off a day or work a day or whatever. And, you know, that’s the only aspect of flexibility that we have right now. I mean, most of us like Sergio, when you and I met four years ago, we could work half the hours. We work today to make a payment.

 

00:09:02:16 – 00:09:27:29

#therideshareguy YouTube

So when I think about flexibility and the company saying, oh, we really want flexible, well, I feel like they’re saying is they want the flexibility to pay us less and less money and they’re figuring out a lot of business strategies to do that. You know, and I think, you know, Prop 22 has been really hard on us because it basically sat the floor of what they can pay us to below the basement.

 

00:09:28:13 – 00:09:58:15

#therideshareguy YouTube

And, you know, we it’s really hard. And and, you know, many drivers, you know, said, oh, well, good because it’s ability. But what I found out was that we actually lost flexibility after Prop 22 passed. You know, none of us want to be employees. Employee sounds horrible, but the labor rights that come with employment would actually end up paying us more money.

 

00:09:58:17 – 00:10:22:29

#therideshareguy YouTube

Right. And what I’ve learned over the last couple of years is that actually there’s nothing in employment law, in labor law that says we can’t pick up when we need to. The company knows how in how to incentivize us to work. You know, like you said, you know, if you work Friday, you know, evening, you’re going to make a whole lot more money than 3 a.m. on Tuesday.

 

00:10:23:09 – 00:10:45:05

#therideshareguy YouTube

So you work when they’re incentivizing you to work with bonuses and whatever else, you know that that wouldn’t change under labor law. There’s no requirement for that to change. So we’re at I want flexibility. We all need flexibility. We don’t really have it when you have to work 60 or 70 hours a week just to pay the rent.

 

00:10:45:24 – 00:11:01:24

#therideshareguy YouTube

Yeah, I mean, I agree with that. But, you know, the other thing is, you know, with Prop 22, they’re never supposed to come within a lot of protections against, you know, on just the activations and things like that. But that’s not the space for it now. I think Prop 22 failed completely, to be honest with you. I agree with you.

 

00:11:01:24 – 00:11:24:25

#therideshareguy YouTube

I don’t know if your members agree with that. Are not. So, Ben, question for you. Why did you want to bring this case forward? Basically, I’ve been a driver for the last seven years now and every single year without fail, there’s always been something that’s changed. And, you know, and it always amounts to drivers making less or having to work more.

 

00:11:25:09 – 00:11:51:17

#therideshareguy YouTube

So for that very reason, I just I just feel that a lot of drivers like myself are unable to talk or are unable to, you know, fight for their own rights. And I think it’s, you know, enough and not enough is enough. And it’s time to kind of press them for fair wages and basically, if they’re going to treat us like independent contractors, they need to treat us like independent contractors and not like employees and having hidden algorithms and whatnot.

 

00:11:52:02 – 00:12:06:18

#therideshareguy YouTube

Yeah, I mean, I said that the other day, you remember Chris, you know, and I became like a viral video actually we just released a couple of days ago is, you know, these companies want to have the cake and eat it, too. Yeah. You can’t do that. I mean, you just can’t do that. And to me, it seems like this lawsuit is all about that.

 

00:12:06:18 – 00:12:18:22

#therideshareguy YouTube

You can have the cake and eat it too, but you just got to do one or the other big your pain. Call me one or the other, but treat me exactly like what you’re calling me as opposed to one day you’re treating me like I see the next day you treat me like an employee. Next day you treat me like this.

 

00:12:19:02 – 00:12:34:26

#therideshareguy YouTube

You just got to come to a resolution and then just, you know, let me know what to expect as opposed to every day I get something else, you know, I get punished for doing this as an employee. But then the next day you say, Oh, you’re an icon. Now you have to do you can’t cancel too many rides or this or that.

 

00:12:34:26 – 00:12:52:03

#therideshareguy YouTube

So to me, it’s like, enough is enough. What do you think about that, Nicole? I mean, you know, these people want to have the cake and needed to all from the first day. Right. And but then, you know, when you to talk to a lot of drivers which we do, they don’t want to be employees. That’s a fact.

 

00:12:52:04 – 00:13:11:20

#therideshareguy YouTube

Right. That’s how they passed Prop 22. They did these surveys, this and that. And truly, when I talked to 100 drivers, 70% of them literally say, I don’t want to be an employee, but I want to have certain rights. And and, you know, what’s happening in Washington state of Washington, right? In Seattle, the rates have gone up and there are certain protections coming in Australia.

 

00:13:11:20 – 00:13:30:10

#therideshareguy YouTube

The same thing is happening in England, the same thing is happening. New York, you know, they have their own set of rules. Do you think that’s what we need, Nicole? I mean, like, did we need like, let’s say state of Washington kind of legislature or laws to come in to protect drivers? I don’t know if you know much about what they passed or which is going to come into play January 1st now.

 

00:13:30:10 – 00:13:54:19

#therideshareguy YouTube

But what do you think about that? Yeah, yeah. I mean, let’s be clear that the model in Washington is Washington state is completely different than the model in New York because yeah, I might add on it. Yeah. What they did in Washington is it was it was like three or four years ago that their City Council of Seattle fought for the base pay a dollars.

 

00:13:54:25 – 00:14:23:08

#therideshareguy YouTube

You know, I think it’s a dollar $20.30 per mile. And they fight for you know, that the city council passed an ordinance that, you know, that the companies couldn’t operate there unless they paid people that. Right. That’s violation. That’s good regulation that I think all of this could see. You know, I mean, we even fought for that here in L.A. We got the city council to vote for us to have $30 an hour minimum.

 

00:14:23:15 – 00:15:03:13

#therideshareguy YouTube

You know, but but what happened in in in in Washington was that they took this good rate that Seattle City Council had already negotiated. And they said, well, we’re going to we’re going to make those rates for the whole state. So they did expand it. I mean, the only real market is, you know, Seattle-Tacoma Air, right? We’re going to trade that for your labor rights so that you no longer have a right to get an unemployment insurance worker’s compensation.

 

00:15:03:13 – 00:15:35:22

#therideshareguy YouTube

You don’t have the right to form a union. But will, we’re going to pay this union a passenger tax to take care of your, you know, the activations, right? I mean I mean, so so my thing is, I don’t think it’s really the kind of situation where drivers are equal at the table with something else. Right. Right. Rachel, I want to do a completely different.

 

00:15:36:13 – 00:15:55:24

#therideshareguy YouTube

Yeah, but you know, you’re doing in New York, New York, New York has a TLC. So they have they’ve been different from the get go. But but I’m thinking, you know, even with the rates that they have offered right back 20 mile and 35 $0.40 I minute they’re double L.A. rates $0.60 a mile and $0.21 a minute. That’s where we are.

 

00:15:55:24 – 00:16:13:10

#therideshareguy YouTube

But pathetic. I mean, the IRS deduction is 62 and a half cents, for God’s sakes. You know, how do you how does any driver do math and figure out they’re profitable when the IRS deduction is higher than what you’re getting paid per mile? I’m not sure how that works with them. But for Rachel, let’s get you involved for a second.

 

00:16:14:09 – 00:16:37:08

#therideshareguy YouTube

How do drivers get involved in this or what can they do? Can you talk a little bit about opting out or how they contact you or your, you know, your outfit? So how do we how do we spread this information for other drivers, even with the important information to get in touch with you? Just to start with? Sure.

 

00:16:37:09 – 00:17:00:09

#therideshareguy YouTube

Thank you. Thank you for having us on the show. And I just want to say that we’re really proud of Ben and Todd and Stephanie, the plaintiffs in this case, for seeking to stand up and let the couple, David, mention this. And Sergio, you said something like this earlier, too, but the impetus behind this case is really that Uber and Lyft can’t have it both ways.

 

00:17:00:09 – 00:17:23:28

#therideshareguy YouTube

They’ve been seeking to have it both ways for a time, and they’ve been taking in some ways, you know, treating drivers as employees when it’s convenient, as independent contractors. What you get and what it really comes down to is that there are laws that regulate whether someone is a driver or an actor or lady, and they have to follow one or the other.

 

00:17:24:00 – 00:17:52:04

#therideshareguy YouTube

They can’t just ignore the and it’s just not how it it can’t work that way. So in terms of what we’re trying to do with this case, it’s a class action. And what that means is that it’s brought on behalf of the Fed. And Todd and Stephanie, who are the plaintiffs, are the plaintiffs in the case, but they’re representing the interests of all drivers in California who have opted out.

 

00:17:52:04 – 00:18:17:01

#therideshareguy YouTube

And so right now, the most recent thing to happen in the case is that Uber removed the case from state court. So we brought the case under state laws. Uber has made the argument that it’s necessary to decide federal issues, to decide the case. We don’t think that’s accurate and we expect and hope to go back to state court regardless.

 

00:18:17:01 – 00:18:48:08

#therideshareguy YouTube

The next step in the case is a preliminary motion practice discovery, which means getting information from Uber and Lyft about policies and practices, and then getting information from us, and then will ultimately seek to certify the class. And what that means is that the judge basically gives us permission to move forward with with the plaintiffs. So we’ve been charged, Stephanie, representing the entire class.

 

00:18:48:08 – 00:19:18:19

#therideshareguy YouTube

It’s sort of a legal conclusion that there are enough issues in common for all drivers that it’s most efficient to litigate the pixel. But once that happens, it’s sort of an automatic process, everybody who is in the class definition. So in this case, drivers in California within four years prior to complete who have opted out of arbitration would all be in the class.

 

00:19:18:20 – 00:19:50:25

#therideshareguy YouTube

They don’t have to do anything additional. As you noted, the class only consists of people who have opted out of the arbitration agreement and it only consists of drivers in order to opt out of the arbitration agreement. In every sort of update and every contract for Bush, there is an arbitration agreement and there’s procedures that are very deep in that that explain how object description and I think you actually knows more about this.

 

00:19:50:25 – 00:20:13:23

#therideshareguy YouTube

But I think that already you as information on how to opt out online if you find sort of guidance for how to opt out of arbitration online, that’s something expressed interested in. And even if you haven’t opted out of arbitration, even if you’re not a California driver, we’re still interested in hearing from you. You’re not going to be a part of this specific case.

 

00:20:14:23 – 00:20:41:19

#therideshareguy YouTube

But we would like to hear from you here, what your experiences are and I just think that you, Sergio, have a link in the description where you can click to case. Okay, great. Yeah. Chris, I saw you put the link. Just put it up one more time for people who are just joining the stream. David, I’ll give you the last word.

 

00:20:42:12 – 00:21:01:15

#therideshareguy YouTube

Do you have anything to add to it? Do you? You know, I wish you guys the best. Obviously, you know, I’m a drivers advocate first. You know, I still drive and I know what’s going on out there firsthand, you know? But if you have anything to add, David, you go ahead and I’ll give you the last word. No, thanks.

 

00:21:01:17 – 00:21:23:01

#therideshareguy YouTube

Thanks very much for having us. It was it was great to speak to both of you. Oh, thank you. Thank you, everybody. Nicole, David, Ben, Rachel, thank you for coming on. We’ll follow this closely. We’ll give updates to our viewers. And best of luck. And, you know, I say it all the time, you can’t have the cake and eat it, too.

 

00:21:23:07 – 00:21:40:15

#therideshareguy YouTube

This is what it’s all about. You just got to figure it out, man. Well, you got to call me one and treat me like one or the other. You just can’t do both when you want. Right? But that’s what that’s what I’ve been saying forever. So maybe this is this is the case that’s going to prove that. But again, thank you for coming on, guys.

 

00:21:40:15 – 00:22:11:07

#therideshareguy YouTube

We appreciate it. Thank you. Thanks a lot, Sergio. Good seeing you. Go. See you later. All right. All right. So thank you guys for coming on for we just had a couple of people that are probably coming in late and like, what are they talking about? So what it is essentially a the beginning of a class action suit basically in the state of California.

 

00:22:11:13 – 00:22:38:04

#therideshareguy YouTube

Again, check the link that was just posted. It’s also in the description below. You get more information. You can even go to the Web site. Hold on. Let me pull that up towards justice dot org. And it will give you a couple more tidbits of information if you go through the site and look it out. So we thought we’d have them on share the experiences when it comes to, you know, the whole independent contractor versus employee debacle.

 

00:22:38:11 – 00:23:06:04

#therideshareguy YouTube

And Sergio, I think you and I have very similar, you know, outlook when it comes to this whole ICI versus employee aspect when it comes to being within the gig economy, not just Uber and Lyft, but overall, some some platforms are much better at it. Some platforms take advantage of it. And I think the worlds or the world is kind of been shut between some blind eyes for some people.

 

00:23:06:27 – 00:23:27:21

#therideshareguy YouTube

So, you know, they tell you one thing, believe it. But in reality, if you actually did a little bit more research or, you know, put a little thought into it behind everything, you’re going to start seeing more and more. And I think, you know, on the surface, maybe people and drivers who are, you know, just going on to make extra money or just doing what they want to do.

 

00:23:27:21 – 00:23:50:16

#therideshareguy YouTube

They might look at it and say, look, I’m happy with, you know, going on when I can, going off when I can. But again, as as I forget who said that and alluded earlier, you the freedom and flexibility is not really you. It’s it’s them and you know, they’re they’re going back and forth when it’s when it’s inconvenient for them.

 

00:23:51:10 – 00:24:11:08

#therideshareguy YouTube

So, yeah, there’s there’s a lot of things there when it comes down to it. I, I mean, we could have a whole conversation based on, you know, back and forth and everybody who’s watching and listening, I’m sure you could chime in to what your thoughts are, but when it comes to employees, when it comes to independent contractor, all that good stuff.

 

00:24:11:18 – 00:24:30:02

#therideshareguy YouTube

Yeah, we should run a we should run a survey on our RSG, you know. Do you consider yourself I see our employee two questions. Just click one or the other. I don’t know. That would be an interesting poll, you know. I mean, like I don’t know honestly which one would would win or not win, but who I would choose as white.

 

00:24:31:09 – 00:24:58:16

#therideshareguy YouTube

But I think I think yeah. I mean, I definitely 100% do not consider myself an independent contractor. I don’t as a driver or a delivery driver. Now, Roger says, I see. There you go. And a lot of people say, I see I filing a 1099 versus the way you get treated has nothing to do with being an I see you know but yeah yeah we should run the poll I think that would be an interesting poll.

 

00:25:00:00 – 00:25:23:24

#therideshareguy YouTube

Okay, cool. So what else we got? Oh, you know what? I saw a comment. I think that just kind of kind of because we do deal with this law firm, right. And about background checks. Right. I’m hearing a lot from drivers that this background checks are absolutely getting like messed up. I mean, you know, checker now is finding things that they haven’t found for the last three years.

 

00:25:23:24 – 00:25:46:06

#therideshareguy YouTube

You’ve been a driver and then now they’re finding it and you’re getting deactivated. So but I think. Yeah, you know, maybe we’ll have that. What’s his name? Larry. What’s his name? Larry. Larry. Yep, I’m Larry on on an episode just to explain about this, how they’re going about it, because it’s becoming a really big issue. I’m hearing this constantly now that background checks are ending people’s, you know, being a driver.

 

00:25:46:06 – 00:26:08:16

#therideshareguy YouTube

I mean, you know, I’ve even found that they found out that even people who got hacked or their identity has been stolen. Now it’s showing up on the check, her background checks and then they’re just getting deactivated right and left. Yeah, I agree with you. I just posted a video recently on that, too. Yeah. But you know, if pretty good who’s watching for background checks?

 

00:26:09:08 – 00:26:28:15

#therideshareguy YouTube

One of the things you can contact is Larry. It’s he works with law or he he’s with a law firm that we work with when it comes to these background checks and the issues there. So you can go to protecting consumer rights. Let me put a link to for people who want to check that out. And this is something again.

 

00:26:28:15 – 00:26:48:01

#therideshareguy YouTube

So if you have issues with background checks or deactivation from it, he can you can look at it and see if they can help out. It’s definitely something we would recommend not going to some other services that are fly by night and type of things. We’ve worked with them before. You’ve probably seen them in a couple of the videos.

 

00:26:48:18 – 00:27:07:06

#therideshareguy YouTube

I think he did one or two podcasts with Harry already, so yeah. All right. So let’s we want to get right into the show with them because they were here for a limited time. Yeah. So the other thing is, by the way, you know, people are going to complain now. They didn’t say anything to them that, look, there is an ongoing lawsuit, right?

 

00:27:07:20 – 00:27:26:13

#therideshareguy YouTube

The lawyers are like, I going to say, as little as possible with the potential that Obama may be watching this former legal team or whatever. It’s pretty obvious. You know, we’re kind of muted. We can say whatever we want, we can say what we want. We know those are our thoughts and, you know, whatever they are. But the lawyers are not going to get into the details of what it is.

 

00:27:26:13 – 00:27:48:08

#therideshareguy YouTube

But if you guys are interested, go to the website that we put up and literally 33 pages of the complaint is in there. If you’re interested, read it. I read it. You know, I mean, they’re they’re up against it, man. You know what their lawyers write, but you never know. You know, it has to start somewhere at some point, you know, they got to call and get called out.

 

00:27:48:08 – 00:28:04:10

#therideshareguy YouTube

I mean, you can’t you can’t just have the cake and eat it, too. And to me, you can’t go both ways, you know, I mean, the whole thing is it’s like, oh, I want to I mean, first off, I want to go back to what you just said with with the lawyers not being able to speak. I mean, think of it this way.

 

00:28:04:16 – 00:28:22:23

#therideshareguy YouTube

You know, football starting very soon, pre-season is going on. The teams that are going against each other aren’t sharing the plays that they’re doing. They you know, they call the plays in the huddle or even at the line. If they see something, what the defense call the audible, they have a certain game plan that they have going forward into the thing.

 

00:28:22:23 – 00:28:48:29

#therideshareguy YouTube

You know, that’s the same thing when it comes to a court case. So it’s in the pre, you know, the preliminary, the earliest parts of it. So yeah, they have a game plan that they’re doing. You know, you can’t give away those plays until you’re ready, until you’re playing the game. So there is a lot there. But you know, like Sergio said, go check out the website for information for justice dot com.

 

00:28:50:02 – 00:29:18:13

#therideshareguy YouTube

So you know, the other thing is dot org sorry. And the other thing is, you know, we did talk about this previously. I’m sure there’s going to be a new toss terms of service pushed on you pretty soon. You know, you have to sign it or agree to it to go online and make a living. But in the back of it, where it says arbitration, where it says opt out, there is a link and there is a way that you guys can opt out and continue driving.

 

00:29:18:13 – 00:29:41:08

#therideshareguy YouTube

I’ve done it for the last six years. As soon as you sign it to go online to earn some bread, go ahead and opt out. It is an easy, easy procedure if you do not opt out and even if you’re not in California, anywhere in the country, and if there is a class action, you will not be part of it if you have not opted out, because once you don’t if you don’t opt out, you know that you’re forced into arbitration.

 

00:29:41:08 – 00:30:00:08

#therideshareguy YouTube

And that’s a disaster. You don’t want to get into any of that, although, yes, everybody will say, yeah, lawyers make all the money, this and that. But hey, you know, the case just settled in California for eight and a half million dollars. And a lot of drivers I heard not a lot, but, you know, at least more than 100 drivers are getting 40 to $50000 settlement.

 

00:30:01:13 – 00:30:19:13

#therideshareguy YouTube

Those were the those were the ones that opted out. So please do opt out of every test that you signed to get back online. So there is a language barrier on purpose because they don’t want you seen it. But honestly, I mean, if you scroll all the way to the last page, it’s usually on the last page or the second last page.

 

00:30:20:08 – 00:30:42:00

#therideshareguy YouTube

So it’s got a little process there and that’s that’s again, anywhere you can do that. Like I said, we wanted to get right into it, so we didn’t even do our insurer or anything because they had limited time coming on. So we just want to get Chris 1/2. 1/2. There is this quite like a Salvador Chavez sign. And he says, I was driving for over more than seven years.

 

00:30:42:00 – 00:30:59:23

#therideshareguy YouTube

They just deactivated me two weeks ago because they say I have new charges on my background. Yeah. You want to put Larry’s email address or something like that? You know, I don’t have his email. Yeah, we’ll we’ll add it on the show notes. Right. Because I honestly, I’m becoming like an epidemic. This is the next this is a driver pandemic.

 

00:30:59:23 – 00:31:22:26

#therideshareguy YouTube

Now, you know, they’re the checker. Checker, by the way, is a I’m not going to say Uber founded company, but they’re backed by Uber. So and it’s a long story. Let’s not get into that at the moment. But this is the earlier you can make background checks. So if you’re this is Larry like I said this who we’re working with.

 

00:31:22:26 – 00:31:40:24

#therideshareguy YouTube

So right there, if you want to scroll up in the live chat, you can and then we’ll add the link after the show’s over. Now, before we get out. Sorry. One more, one more. So, you know, one day we’re going to do a Q&A, just you and Sergio. Didn’t you opt out but Uber claim you didn’t? Yes, they did.

 

00:31:40:24 – 00:32:00:15

#therideshareguy YouTube

But then Uber does not know or did not know that I keep screenshots from 2016 and on this one I have all the email trace. I sent it in and I’m in the class. So when you do opt out, please take screenshots. Please, please, please. And look, these things are all done digitally these days. There’s no paper trail.

 

00:32:00:27 – 00:32:24:27

#therideshareguy YouTube

And when you’re doing digital stuff, there’s always a trail. You do a search in your email with Uber opt out or whatever the headline of the email was. It’s going to pop out and mine was clear as day. I opted out exactly on time. So but the best thing to do, guys, gals, everybody who was watching or was going to watch this later on, immediately do it because then you forget and then you have 30 days to opt out.

 

00:32:24:27 – 00:32:42:05

#therideshareguy YouTube

By the way, it’s not like forever that after like six months you go, Oh, I want to be part of the class, opt out, then you’re dead. So it’s not the biggest thing to is not retroactive. So if you opt out like let’s say a new one comes out right now, if you opt out, you know, it doesn’t go back to it before.

 

00:32:42:05 – 00:33:02:23

#therideshareguy YouTube

So if there’s lawsuits that form like class action lawsuits like this one that are within a certain time frame, then yeah, you might not be able to do that kind of like how Sergio with, with what had happened. But yeah, that’s the other thing. Make sure you, you not only screenshot everything but you know, just keep it in a safe area too.

 

00:33:02:23 – 00:33:35:24

#therideshareguy YouTube

So when something like that happens, you might not need it, but if you do, you have it and there you go. All right. Now we’re going to get into love, right? So. All right, first off, first order of business. Show me. The Money Club is now an audio podcast. So like audio podcasts better than video or you know, if you’re just like going around listening, you know, if you want to listen while you’re driving instead of watching or anything like that, you will be able to get Show Me The Money Club on an audio podcast.

 

00:33:36:09 – 00:33:59:09

#therideshareguy YouTube

We are on all major platforms except for Pandora right now because they take a while to approve it for some reason. But other than that, you can get it on Apple, Spotify, Google, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, all of them that are there available. All of the podcasts that we’ve done already or all of the shows that we’ve done already are already uploaded in.

 

00:33:59:09 – 00:34:25:07

#therideshareguy YouTube

Then this live show or any live show going forward after it’s over will download the audio and post it either later that day or following morning of the next day. So yeah, if you want to enjoy the audio podcast again, just search. Show me the Money Club and should pop up somewhere. So we may choose which one of us is Joe Rogan?

 

00:34:25:07 – 00:34:48:21

#therideshareguy YouTube

Joe Rogan, we’re coming after you. Joe Rogan, our hero. You know what? We should try to get a little background or something so you got a copy of Joe Rogan, the background from his you know, that that may not be. And the other thing is, I I’m getting tired of waiting right here ago. So, guys, we’re thinking of having our own stuff like merch.

 

00:34:48:21 – 00:35:09:20

#therideshareguy YouTube

I mean, that is not about to make money, but it’s like, you know, I want to wear my stuff now. So as opposed to the rideshare guy. But we’ll talk about that at a later, later time. My friend pricing model I thought provided all the info on rides offered. However, it is not showing rides that have stops. Oh, yeah.

 

00:35:09:20 – 00:35:27:17

#therideshareguy YouTube

There you go. Oh, thank you, Alex. While the other problem, by the way, is happening that I got an email from a now I get emails from strangers, from drivers all over the country, you know, I’m like that. So he brought something or he brought something up that was very valid. So he goes, I’m on a trip, right?

 

00:35:28:05 – 00:35:57:09

#therideshareguy YouTube

He goes, The next one shows up, they ping me with the next one, right? Uber’s up front price is not from the next pickup point is from where you are. By the way, I was like, What kind of bullshit is that? So, so. Okay, so you’re doing a trip, right? Yeah. And you have, let’s say, 2.8 miles to go to drop your current passenger off right.

 

00:35:57:09 – 00:36:20:12

#therideshareguy YouTube

Uber pings you with the next one, which they do quite often. Right sector. I did that one on that trip it shows the pickup address. Right and the drop off and upfront fare just like it should. Right. But it doesn’t calculate the upfront fare from where you are. It calculates the upfront fare from where you’re going to pick up the passenger.

 

00:36:20:12 – 00:36:38:07

#therideshareguy YouTube

I’m going to like why you are there. If you are not if you did not have a passenger in the car. Right, it would be from where you are. It would figure out the upfront fare from where you are. So I’m like, okay, what if what if the pickup is like two miles away and you have another 2.8 miles to go?

 

00:36:38:07 – 00:36:57:28

#therideshareguy YouTube

So what what’s happening to that 0.8 miles? I’m like, who’s going to eat that? Right. Most likely to driver. That’s what’s going to happen. But I’m going to look into that. I’m going to look into that. That’s kind of fishy under the stop issue. Another fishy issue. You know what I mean? I mean, you know, you know how these stops work after they come in and then the guy goes, yeah, I’ll be 2 minutes and then 15 minutes later.

 

00:36:57:28 – 00:37:19:08

#therideshareguy YouTube

Right. So, so what is what is everybody’s level zero when it comes to a stop? How long do you wait? And three minute. 3 minutes. Okay. Solid 3 minutes. Maybe that’s the rule. How long before they get out of the car? I even tell them. Take your shit before you get out of the car, because in 3 minutes I will not be here because most of them trap you.

 

00:37:19:08 – 00:37:38:00

#therideshareguy YouTube

You know, don’t leave work. They leave their phone behind or they leave like their purse behind. There’s some stuff I’m not going to pick. Yeah. They trap you? Yeah. Or another passenger. If they’re double, they leave the other passenger. And, you know, I have to kick that one out. So I go like, no. While you have solitary minutes, I the rule 3 minutes, I’m gone.

 

00:37:38:20 – 00:37:54:24

#therideshareguy YouTube

You want to downgrade me, do whatever the heck you need to do. But I don’t care because my rating does not get affected by your one star. But your rating with my one star is definitely going to get affected by very, very enthusiastic of the forum. Like a lot. Thank you, sir. Do you want another Sergio? Of course.

 

00:37:55:04 – 00:38:20:13

#therideshareguy YouTube

Oh, yeah. I mean, come on, man. Yeah. You know, we got to do a Q&A show one day, Chris. We’re going to have to. But a lot of people are talking about upfront earnings. So you’re going to be happy to know in two weeks we’re going to do an entire show based on upfront earnings. There’s a couple of things that Sergio and I want to do to kind of look with upfront earnings of California and Buffalo, New York are completely different because of Prop 22.

 

00:38:20:28 – 00:38:39:11

#therideshareguy YouTube

We lost on this one. We losers. California is the loser. We still have five out of ten while the rest of the country is willy nilly rejecting rides. Man, we know again. So we’re going to be we’re going to be putting together a whole upfront earnings show in two weeks. So make sure subscribed ring the bell for that.

 

00:38:39:11 – 00:38:58:08

#therideshareguy YouTube

So you’re notified when we do go live. If you forget, two weeks from now is going to be different. But yeah, we are going to be doing a whole upfront earnings. So if there’s anything that you have questions on, we might not be able to figure it out depending on how and depending on how complex that actually is, or we just might not ever be able to know.

 

00:38:58:27 – 00:39:26:05

#therideshareguy YouTube

But yeah, if there’s anything you guys are trying to figure out or want to know, we’re going to try to deep dove into it a little bit more so we can see exactly what is going to be best for drivers. So I want to know where is that tipping point? You know, the whole rate rebalancing, where is that tipping point that after I go a certain distance or time that it actually is going to cost me money because it’s not the same rate as it was prior to the upfront earnings before that.

 

00:39:26:16 – 00:39:49:25

#therideshareguy YouTube

Hey, I’m happy because I’m going to be making more that whole teeter totter. So where’s that pivot? I want to know on that back resume. Thank you for the for the super job. But how do you handle the tip? Personally speaking, I’m going to give you my personal you know, me resume. So once I accept the right man, you know, like let’s say somebody I pick up downtown L.A., they’re going to, I don’t know, USC, and then they change their mind.

 

00:39:49:25 – 00:40:06:10

#therideshareguy YouTube

They want to go to Palm Springs, which I didn’t, 50 miles east. I’ll politely go, right. If it’s like 20 miles, no problem. But if it’s like anything above 20 miles, that’s my break point, because I still know, even if I go 20 miles from east, west, south, north, from downtown, I’m okay. But anything outside that I’m dead.

 

00:40:06:18 – 00:40:26:09

#therideshareguy YouTube

So now I’ll go look at the new address. If it’s anything 20 miles, I’ll shut up and do it because you’re already in my car. But see, those are the days that I missed the multiplier. You would hope that a passenger changes 250 miles away with a3x. You know what I mean? Those are gone. So how do you handle it?

 

00:40:26:09 – 00:40:38:11

#therideshareguy YouTube

That’s how I handle it. Was I go 20 miles is my break up breakdown. I go like I have an appointment. I have to pick up my kid at school. You know, I do this part time. I appreciate it. I can take you as far as 20 miles. I’ll drop you off or I can drop you off at your destination.

 

00:40:38:11 – 00:40:56:24

#therideshareguy YouTube

You can call another Uber and, you know, kind of de-escalate things and say, Get the heck out of my car. That’s it. That’s how I do it. So, all right, she shops. How do you stop minors that go to high school from coming in your car? Easy. If doors locked before you get in the car, it should be like all the time.

 

00:40:56:25 – 00:41:16:15

#therideshareguy YouTube

Doesn’t matter who’s coming in your car. Keep your doors locked. Roll down the window, verify the person. If it’s somebody, look 18, don’t get the ride and don’t be shy asking ID. Hey, man, the cops pull you over to ask you I.D.. You know, this is a this is not a stop and I.D. state, by the way. I found that out the hard way the other day.

 

00:41:17:27 – 00:41:40:03

#therideshareguy YouTube

That’s another story I had to break. I drove right out. KALITA Go read my article, the Whac-A-Mole article. I’m like, Yeah, maybe I’m late to the show. Well, it starts at 3 p.m. every Tuesday, easy. So next time you learn your lesson from the replay and there is now a podcast, if you if you didn’t hear that one, then we’re big now we’re made it to the big time trying.

 

00:41:40:03 – 00:41:58:03

#therideshareguy YouTube

Couldn’t they reported over. Yeah, they can report you to Google but then you take action right away. That’s what you do. You pull the car over immediately before they can even do it. Go to your app because they’re not going to do it as fast as you on your app. There are choices like underage. That’s why I’m canceling report and then if not, call over support right away.

 

00:41:58:11 – 00:42:14:24

#therideshareguy YouTube

You have to hit and you have to take the first punch when it comes to these, if you if you wait until the end of your shift to do it, they complained you’re screwed. Don’t do it. Don’t wait. Don’t wait. I’m saying. Okay, here we go. Yes. Hey, the Tony is here and driven, ma’am. Yes, always. Door’s locked.

 

00:42:14:24 – 00:42:34:21

#therideshareguy YouTube

Even if it’s noon. Do not. And have passenger window halfway down. Confirm before you let anybody in your car. All right. What are we doing this time? I might say beyond that is if you’re actually on the phone with them and kind of guiding them to your car. So like like I said, I like driving at night. It’s just the way I like to drive.

 

00:42:34:21 – 00:42:54:04

#therideshareguy YouTube

So let’s traffic, let’s headache when it comes to that because I hate traffic. But yes, you are dealing with, you know, drunk hours and bars and bar districts. So, you know, there’s a couple of spots in my area that I just I automatically go depending on where the pickup is because you can’t park on the street. You know, the cops are standing right there.

 

00:42:54:11 – 00:43:09:23

#therideshareguy YouTube

They will pull you over, they’ll stick at you or they’ll tell you to get the hell out of there. So I have a couple of spots that I just go to and then I’ll call up the people and say, Hey, look, this is where I’m at. Come, come get me or come find me. It’s going to be easier and safer for you guys.

 

00:43:09:27 – 00:43:30:18

#therideshareguy YouTube

Then, you know, it’s usually right near the bar, within walking distance. Most of the time they’re very happy to do that. And then you can see who’s coming to your car. And, you know, so like if you have a group of like eight people, most people right off there say, oh, I’m sorry, too many people, you got to call in Excel, hang up, canceled the right move on a few people and then you’re good to go.

 

00:43:30:18 – 00:43:48:00

#therideshareguy YouTube

You know, that’s the people getting in. That’s the only other time I might say. You don’t necessarily have to have the doors locked, but keep them locked until they’re literally coming up to the door. So you’re not you know, again, because if you’re have busy bar districts and, you know, I’m on the road next to it, I’m near one of the bars.

 

00:43:48:13 – 00:44:13:21

#therideshareguy YouTube

And again, you don’t necessarily know who else might be around. So one other thing that I’m going to recommend when it comes to that, you know, as a driver, you’re looking this way, you’re looking at your passenger side even maybe in the back as they’re getting in. But you’re not necessarily looking at your driver’s side door. One of the best things to do if you have auto locks or I mean, when you’re unlocking, keep your arm on lock on the driver’s side.

 

00:44:14:07 – 00:44:38:04

#therideshareguy YouTube

And if your car is or, you know, if depending on how your car actually is, whatever it is is, try to keep your door, your door locked at all times. So nobody can come around, try pulling you out. That’s one thing I continue to forget to say, but I want to say it. So just be aware of that in that event, I think this is going to turn into a question and enter a cheeky Chuck.

 

00:44:38:07 – 00:44:58:28

#therideshareguy YouTube

Listen, good jobs. I like the name, by the way. So here’s the deal. You get scary or scared about rejecting miners. Chickie Jobs. Let me tell you something. Okay, let’s let’s look at the upside and the downside of having a minor in your car. Okay? They go, yeah, you didn’t pick them up because you’re under age and they’re going to report shows racist.

 

00:44:58:28 – 00:45:14:21

#therideshareguy YouTube

They’re going to deactivate you. Okay, you’re deactivated. You got to lift. You got to do something else. How the other situation, you put them in your car, you get in a crash, you’re a dead man for the rest of your life. Number two, you put them you put them in your car and they go, Oh, he touched my leg.

 

00:45:15:00 – 00:45:38:04

#therideshareguy YouTube

You’re a super dead man in jail on top of everything else. Look at the upside downside. Okay, so do you get jobs? Do not do not ever, ever, ever minors in your car. It’s not worth $6 school trip. It’s just not worth it. Not worth it. Don’t ever do the chicken chops. I don’t know how long you’ve been driving or not, but one of the things is you want to follow all laws and you want to follow to us.

 

00:45:38:19 – 00:46:01:15

#therideshareguy YouTube

It’s there for your protection from liability. So if you let’s say your car seats four, if you have five people coming in your car, six people, whatever it is, if you take them all, the liability is on you 100% because insurance companies will find that information out. Your history. Oh, there was six people in your car. Your car only has four seatbelts.

 

00:46:01:16 – 00:46:22:28

#therideshareguy YouTube

They ordered an X. That was what the ride was for you and two extra people. We’re not paying a dime for this. The lawsuit will come towards you. You’ll be named in the lawsuit. It’s same thing with a kid without a car seat. Same thing with unaccompanied minors. Follow the law and follow that to us because it’s not worth it.

 

00:46:23:03 – 00:46:45:08

#therideshareguy YouTube

In the event something does happen, chances are nothing’s going to happen. But you don’t want to take that risk. To me, that’s not worth it. So here’s the thing. You can cancel rights. There’s nothing wrong with canceling rights. So if you’re you’re not worried about that or if you’re worried about that, just know you don’t have to. And if some idiot is going to call you names and that you know what?

 

00:46:45:26 – 00:47:08:25

#therideshareguy YouTube

All you got to do, report them to Uber or Lyft or whatever platform you’re on. Let them deal with it. You move on to the next one, try to shake it off. If you need some time off, go offline for a little bit. Sometimes that happens. You might have to take a little time off, you know, just kind of recollect yourself, go grab a coffee, grab something to eat, whatever it is, listen to a song, listen to a podcast, listen.

 

00:47:09:01 – 00:47:26:18

#therideshareguy YouTube

Listen to a video that’s going to get you into a good mood, whatever it is, then go back out there. But don’t worry about what people are going to say because they’re just pissed off because, you know, they’re trying to game the system and they got caught. It’s it’s them. It’s a direct reflection of them. So no more about six bucks is not worth any of that.

 

00:47:26:29 – 00:47:50:02

#therideshareguy YouTube

We zoom for the second super chat and he got he got hacked I think can you find out one so anyway but yeah. Any drivers rethinking their shoes. Yeah. Yeah I think I think that’s going to happen more and more now. So somebody either hacked or tried to hack and went in there and changed his email address. It was freaking out.

 

00:47:50:02 – 00:48:12:05

#therideshareguy YouTube

I condemned. I don’t think it was freaking out. He’s cool as a cucumber. So he’s like, Yeah, yeah, he’s okay. I’m like, okay, whatever. I write points in your password for your email and for your Uber. Lyft. Yeah, you got to have like a 16 digit password with all kinds of numbers and uppercase lowercase and make sure it’s not your birthday.

 

00:48:12:16 – 00:48:33:23

#therideshareguy YouTube

Nifty 50 is like say is my destination from this have been so f up lately. Well if you have an iOS son that’s why you have the problem. I have an android. We can talk about that privately. They go from point. Yeah. Talk to wisdom about the destination filter. He’s still crying about it. Okay, so here’s one right here.

 

00:48:34:00 – 00:48:52:03

#therideshareguy YouTube

Like windows all. And we have the pandemic going on my window. All four of my windows are down. I’m going to start complaining that it’s messing up your hair in the morning before you go to work. Because of the pandemic, I like windows down. I mean, look, now it’s like 103 degrees in L.A. So I have the air up just so I don’t sweat.

 

00:48:52:03 – 00:49:15:19

#therideshareguy YouTube

I don’t think about the passenger you want air on is to toss you another 20 bucks. Yeah, that’s right. Yeah, we got. No, no, no. We don’t like your windows because. Guess what, Brandon? I don’t know if you’re in California or not, but in California, pot’s legal up to a certain limit. And you know that when when a pot smoker or a guy that’s carrying pot on himself gets in your car, that car smells pot the rest of the day.

 

00:49:16:02 – 00:49:35:18

#therideshareguy YouTube

So you have your windows down, you know, or I mean, to me, it’s like that’s another no win situation. You know, the guy had just smoked pot, walks in your car and the car smells pot. Next passenger gets in, says this guy had just smoked pot in his car. And I’m like, I’m deactivated, you know? So New York’s law, that’s the law everywhere I think.

 

00:49:35:18 – 00:50:06:04

#therideshareguy YouTube

Go look at this guy, this comments. He was Uber rented a vehicle Scott that had cut seatbelts and the assistant manager told him just to tie it in a knot. I would love to see that conversation, but holy crap. Yeah, yeah. I mean, if you have a file, email it to me and Darren Porter Avis you know, you say on the next interview, Chris will send it to apply that tape to Dara.

 

00:50:06:04 – 00:50:28:29

#therideshareguy YouTube

I was like, What do you think about this? Or, you know, your agents are telling us to drive with tie knots on our seatbelts, much like, I don’t know, video or was awesome. There we go. Yes, museum all the way. Oh, come on, man. I’m just trying to make 20 bucks. Come on. It’s like too much. Too much work anyway.

 

00:50:29:10 – 00:50:51:28

#therideshareguy YouTube

Yeah. And the other thing too, I had driven Dad said something back a little bit when it came to minors and stuff like that. One of the things is this is another reason why I want to have dash camera, because dash cameras record everything, whether you’re in the right or the wrong, it’s going to record everything. It doesn’t care how you feel, how you look, doesn’t care about your passengers.

 

00:50:51:28 – 00:51:16:16

#therideshareguy YouTube

It just records what’s happening. So it’s definitely recommended to have something with audio, with interior video, something where you know everything is going to be recorded. The entire interaction. Now, the only thing is if you live in a two party consent state, just make sure you follow any laws there. If he had to post something on it, on your car or anything like that, just make sure you follow those laws again.

 

00:51:16:17 – 00:51:43:14

#therideshareguy YouTube

Follow all laws and go from there. All right, Chris, we’ve got to get into shop downhill money wise. What are you all. Hey, did you did you watch the video that we put up, like, what, the four days ago? Worst earnings in L.A., 2019. Yes, anywhere. But I mean, but, you know, things are changing. Things may be changing.

 

00:51:43:14 – 00:52:14:23

#therideshareguy YouTube

But here’s the thing for for a couple of weeks now. So Friday nights are Saturday nights in downtown Buffalo lit up like a frigging Christmas tree. It hasn’t been for a few weeks, though. There’s been very little. And, you know, you hit you’d hit from about 10 p.m. through you know, 430 ish timeframe because bars close at four with in the whole downtown Buffalo area just home and it really has been like that for for, you know, about a month or so now.

 

00:52:15:27 – 00:52:39:04

#therideshareguy YouTube

But, you know, college is now back in session, opening up. Schools are starting again. So things are starting to get better. So, you know, more surge, you’re seeing less drivers on the road. Demand is still there. Actually, demand is growing in college cities. We have a couple of colleges in our area, so it’s working out well. Yeah, the city is getting lit up again.

 

00:52:39:09 – 00:52:55:23

#therideshareguy YouTube

John, I yeah it’s no it’s not going downhill. I mean, it depends what city you’re in. You know, I’m in L.A., I don’t know what city are you in, but if you’re in a major city, things are picking up. This is this is the dollar signs last weekend, Friday, Saturday night, solid surge for like four or 5 hours.

 

00:52:56:03 – 00:53:22:12

#therideshareguy YouTube

And I’m not talking like pennies. We’re talking double digits. Okay. So but I can’t do it because Uber now decided the Uber decided that I’m a delivery and now and I’m like, I wrote about it. I go, screw your flexibility and freedom and I’m like, why? Why am I why am I just delivery driver? I can do whatever the heck I want, right?

 

00:53:23:17 – 00:53:42:18

#therideshareguy YouTube

Yeah. That’s what they’re coming January to wear to Washington State, not to California. You know, if you’re in Washington, Donald emailed me, I want to have you on the show. I want you to explain to all the drivers how you guys ended up with buck 25, a mile and $0.40 a minute, because that’s double what we have and we would love to have that down here.

 

00:53:42:18 – 00:54:03:09

#therideshareguy YouTube

But yeah, we assume that that that disclaimer. I think I think I’m just going to send it to you. Okay. That’s it’s just you can do the review about that. Okay. All right. So I wrote this article came out one yesterday, right? Yesterday. Yeah, yesterday. So it’s freedom and flexibility, inclusion and the gig economy. Well, you know what?

 

00:54:03:25 – 00:54:28:27

#therideshareguy YouTube

Yeah, I think it is because after six years of being, you know, Tony is going to chime in here and say, oh, don’t worry about it after four weeks. I don’t want to wait four weeks. Tony, let me tell you something about this weekend. My neighborhood, which never started just charging 15, 20 bucks a pop. And I’m like, well, if I had a request, maybe, you know, I just or a CRB or some sort of boost or whatever, I’d be out there driving.

 

00:54:29:10 – 00:54:53:14

#therideshareguy YouTube

So now I have to drive like at least a month, according to Tony Driven Dad from Denver, to get back into the good graces of the frickin algorithm. That’s my there’s your freedom and flexibility algorithm is your bosses people. So so this is the this is the email after two weeks because I want to write an article about delivery versus rideshare.

 

00:54:54:12 – 00:55:18:28

#therideshareguy YouTube

I did like two weeks of delivery and he goes, Hey, Sergio, most of your chips in the past two weeks have been deliveries with over eight. So hello. And, and, and then he goes so narrow it says you’re going to get agreed to promotions instead of promotions. Drive. Promotions. Why what I he goes like military. I do five trips rideshare and ten trips food.

 

00:55:19:13 – 00:55:35:27

#therideshareguy YouTube

I get what I get. Now, if you’re going to cut me off altogether, don’t sugarcoat it like this. Just say, hey, man, you know, I we’re not going to give you the cost because you’re taking the rideshare cost, applying it to Uber eats and we’re losing our ass. That’s why we’re not giving you the Rideshare Quest. How about that?

 

00:55:36:09 – 00:55:54:24

#therideshareguy YouTube

Talk to me about that, which I agree, by the way, because the margins on ubereats, I check my receipts are stupid, low, I mean, ridiculous, like $0.50 a buck and a half, $2. And I’m like, I don’t care. So what I did of course, was I had rideshare costs and applied it to Uber eats and Uber lost money.

 

00:55:54:24 – 00:56:19:12

#therideshareguy YouTube

And then but Uber says it like this. It goes, Yeah, we’ll reassess your preferred trip type. I don’t have a preferred trip type. I wanted to offer you have the next screenshot, but the one with all the preferences that I have in my. Oh no, you don’t have that one. Okay. So you know, everybody knows one that is like on the lower left hand corner next to the go button, there is like two, two horizontal lines or whatever they are asterisk.

 

00:56:19:27 – 00:56:40:07

#therideshareguy YouTube

If you click on that, that’s your preference. I have five things in there. Five, I can choose anything any time I want. According to you Uber and Lyft, forget Lyft. I don’t know what I’m talking about. So Uber, you gave me those five choices. If you didn’t, why do I do? I do I have the preferences? It’s my preference this week.

 

00:56:40:07 – 00:57:00:22

#therideshareguy YouTube

I do. Uber eats next week I do right here. But that doesn’t mean some algorithm somewhere is going to decide that I’m not going to get the money. So to me, it’s like what freedom and flexibility algorithm is. My boss is or she or she is an algorithm. He or she. Because, you know, we’re big in pronouns these days.

 

00:57:01:02 – 00:57:23:08

#therideshareguy YouTube

I think myself his third year, he him, I’m like, I don’t even understand that. I think it’s an it okay it is watching me and Weezy delivery is juicy. My men are not. Lady I apologize. Delivery is wonderful. They don’t throw up in your car. They don’t slam your door. They don’t ask for oxcart. Go read my article coming out.

 

00:57:23:08 – 00:57:42:21

#therideshareguy YouTube

Weezy delivery is wonderful as long as you’re productive half the time you’re sitting on your butt in your car watching YouTube. So yeah, there is no freedom, there’s no flexibility, and they cut me off. I’m in jail. But you know what? I don’t give a rat’s ass, Chris, because when the city is surging 15, 20 bucks a pop, I don’t care about that.

 

00:57:42:29 – 00:58:05:23

#therideshareguy YouTube

What is the quest now? 74 for 100 bucks. I don’t care about the dollar. There you go. Look at it. Oh, yeah, they go here. Serge, this is your this is your uber eats or whatever. But promo it goes. Boost your earnings by driving. Look at the one on the left, Chris. You know all that green area right?

 

00:58:05:23 – 00:58:24:00

#therideshareguy YouTube

That’s that’s part that’s like the mountains. I go like there’s no restaurant up there. Uber eats. They give me a boost for four my uber eats between 9 p.m. and I’m like, no, thank you. The next one, the next one is in the middle of the city. Okay? I’m not going to be there at that hour anyway, because if I was in there, I’m not going to do Uber Eats.

 

00:58:24:00 – 00:58:45:04

#therideshareguy YouTube

I’m going to rideshare and kill it. It says between 12 a.m. and 4 a.m. So this is what they downgraded me down to, one point, one boost, one point to boost. And between 12 a.m. and four, you shove it Uber there you go. That’s so you’re only getting boost plus but it could apply. Doesn’t that apply for both rideshare and delivery?

 

00:58:45:04 – 00:59:10:09

#therideshareguy YouTube

Yeah, well, I’m point one. What is that. I mean 1.1 is not isn’t it. And you would still I mean, instead of $0.60 a mile, you’re what, 63 or 66 mile. 66 and but guess what, my I’m going to start driving more rideshare because it’s surging like hell now. It’s like the morning rush hour is their afternoon rush hour.

 

00:59:10:10 – 00:59:32:28

#therideshareguy YouTube

Their weekends are led up from like I don’t know, the thing that comes down to the whole freedom and flexibility thing. So if you drive full time, you don’t have freedom of flexibility because you’re online all the time. You have to if you want to drive and make money and, you know, be selective. If you’re driving part time like Sergio myself, you’re trying to stack the bonuses when you can.

 

00:59:33:23 – 00:59:53:00

#therideshareguy YouTube

So again, you see on those on those screenshots, they’re only doing it at certain times. They’re not doing it at other times. I’m like, I’m going to use only when you’re going to go on, this is where you’re going to go on. And there you go. And then there’s the, you know, the weekend driver or the people who are just doing it for extra.

 

00:59:53:00 – 01:00:10:11

#therideshareguy YouTube

So they might be watching. They might not. But yeah, there’s there’s not too much freedom and flexibility there. Nope. They force me they force me to do this. Either you do this or you do that. I’m like, no, no, that’s not how it works. That’s exactly why are you guys getting sued? You can’t have the cake and eat it, too.

 

01:00:10:12 – 01:00:33:27

#therideshareguy YouTube

There you go. Suck it. Anyway, I what he’s doing, by the way, I’m doing the article on we zoom just specifically on him how the guy this is a guy with a plan B okay. Now see and he’s busting it. But you know, God bless him. He’s a hard worker. Yeah. That buck 50 boost. Yeah. Yeah. That, that 1.1 boost I have, I really care about that over.

 

01:00:34:00 – 01:01:03:11

#therideshareguy YouTube

No, I care about like $16 virgin. I want to do a shorty with 20 bucks for 5 minutes. Thank you. But it is. Donald Trump says under the new law, drivers will also have access to paid sick time down the road. Again, Donald, we got it. We got to talk. If you’re if you’re in the state of Washington, Seattle-Tacoma, wherever you are, email me Sergio at the Rocio Garcon, I have to have you with a New York driver on a town hall because you two cities, you two states, you know drivers are swimming in cash.

 

01:01:03:11 – 01:01:22:22

#therideshareguy YouTube

Unlike us, we’re just fighting over peanuts. So, yeah. Donald So you can talk all about this on the show, buddy. Okay. Donald French Email me. Sergio at the rideshare guy dot com I never heard anyone throw out Weezy it’s only it’s a matter of time if you drive drunk hours. I look at the thought Weezy you also have to email me.

 

01:01:23:03 – 01:01:52:19

#therideshareguy YouTube

You know, I’m telling you, you’re going to see my article. The numbers I’m pulling down. I’m doing food delivery now. No tip, no trip, people. Oh, by the way, you know, you know all these gig tours with like 800 members. You’re part of that. What are what is driven that? Tony, where are you? If you’re still on, they’re all into a throwing a fit at each other now because, you know, Pedro, Pedro, our buddy who was on the last couple of weeks ago, he said, you know, he calls people who don’t keep the customers clowns.

 

01:01:52:19 – 01:02:25:02

#therideshareguy YouTube

Okay. Just finally. And he also calls people who take minimum orders with no tips, like $2.75 DoorDash order going for miles. He calls also the drivers clowns, right? Justifiably so. I’m in his camp, so to recall him and. Clowns. Clowns. I like. Clowns. Yeah. A red nose with a big red nose. Yeah, I like the clown. So. So to me now there is this dude in Vegas says that you have to be an ant because then DoorDash is going to give you a lot of the good orders if you’re an end.

 

01:02:25:27 – 01:02:46:22

#therideshareguy YouTube

He says, I have the metadata and I’ve cracked the algorithm. I’m like, Son, you haven’t cracked anything. If anybody cracked the algorithm, I cracked the algorithm. But it’s I didn’t do any of that yet. So my thing is, Tony, now is putting himself through torture driven dad in Denver to become a top usher to see if it’s really going to work.

 

01:02:46:25 – 01:03:11:01

#therideshareguy YouTube

No, Tony is not going to work. Okay. The reason it’s not going to work is because, look, the ants versus the cherry pickers fight has been going on in rideshare for like 12 years. Okay. It’s quality over quantity. It is never about quantity. Okay. If if DoorDash is saying, oh, become a top usher, I’m going to send you bigger orders with more tips.

 

01:03:11:15 – 01:03:41:28

#therideshareguy YouTube

Bullshit. It’s just luck. It just happens to be in the right time, at the right place. They’re not going to do it. They’re just messing with you guys. So, yeah, be a cherry picker and and be a definitely cherry picker for rideshare. I mean, that’s that’s number one. So yeah. There you go. So no flexibility, no freedom. BOTTOMLEY Well, going on, has anyone seen this Uber yearbook or uber uber yearbook class?

 

01:03:42:15 – 01:04:06:29

#therideshareguy YouTube

I do. I figured did I make it? I didn’t make it right. I don’t know. You made it. I made it. Oh. Oh, that one. Yeah. There you are. You see this girl? This is the hilarious part of the whole thing. You want her only like the big thing is because you just transition to doing eats and delivery.

 

01:04:07:12 – 01:04:28:20

#therideshareguy YouTube

I’m wondering if either just takes like the percentage, the amount of rides you’ve done with the amount of compliments you’ve gotten. So you have like a base minimum and you just like nicked it at the right time. Or is this based on rideshare? But because of your delivery preference being delivery at this point, according to the algorithm, then is that why you switched over?

 

01:04:29:15 – 01:04:58:13

#therideshareguy YouTube

Yeah. No. Well, first all my rideshare rating. 6000 plus rides, 496. Okay, solid. Really, super solid. But so I did rides, what do you call delivery for two weeks, right? 103 total trips. Okay. Three. I mean that’s a lot. So, so it was algorithm figured maybe I got like 50 thumbs up or something or. I don’t know. I don’t even know how the ratings work here.

 

01:04:58:26 – 01:05:26:24

#therideshareguy YouTube

Come to the party here we had we always go late. That’s why we need overtime. That’s that’s another thing that you see that, you know, we don’t have overtime protection here where I see Sergio it says Uber sends me this. It goes, Sergio, congrats. According to your customer feedback, you’re in the top 10% most highly praised delivery drivers, the U.S. this is not over this some algorithm they sent me this email saying like, yeah, Ira, get pumped up.

 

01:05:27:02 – 01:05:44:28

#therideshareguy YouTube

Look at Sergio. They’re just in the top ten. Brian They did 100 deliveries. The next one could get me deactivated because the food is going to be called delete. Okay. Because I’m sucking on Prop 22 money, I’m like, I don’t know. Sergio takes a lot to impress customers. I’m like, Yeah, I’ve done 6000 chips. I’ve never gotten anything like this.

 

01:05:44:28 – 01:06:07:06

#therideshareguy YouTube

But after 100 deliveries, I’m a top 10% driver in the country, let alone will forever. Ha ha ha. Yeah. So, yeah. How about that, Chris? You’re impressed. I’m impressed. Good job. But again, I like it. I want to I want to know how where they came up with the numbers. I’m just curious, did you get it like at the right time?

 

01:06:07:06 – 01:06:31:26

#therideshareguy YouTube

And because they’re taking all of the delivery rides is taken divided up by, you know, the compliments or whatever that you got or was it based on all the rides that you’ve done? And just because your delivery preference was was more this is only on delivery, it says congrats according to your customer feedback. You’re one of the top ten most highly praised delivery drivers, not human delivery, food delivery.

 

01:06:32:07 – 01:06:49:18

#therideshareguy YouTube

So I’m like, Yeah, I was like hundred trips. I got a bunch of times. I, by the way is hey yeah we zoom. Did you get one of these? Did you get one of these resume? You didn’t. I bet you didn’t get one of these, did you, with your customer model. Why? Why why didn’t you get top ten accolades like I did?

 

01:06:49:19 – 01:07:14:29

#therideshareguy YouTube

Oh, no, no. That’s that’s top 1%. That’s the upper echelon right there. Tesla. But no, but I was like, I want Toyota’s hydrogen fuel cell. Don’t fall for any other stuff, okay? It’s just some algorithm, some code written to deactivate you somewhere, some code written for this little thumbs up or whatever, you know? I do. You know, Chris, I don’t even know how the ratings thing was work and delivery.

 

01:07:14:29 – 01:07:35:15

#therideshareguy YouTube

I mean, does it going to your overall rating or is. Oh, just thumbs up? Thumbs down as far as I know. Unlike one star to five star. Yeah, it’s just thumbs up. Thumbs down as far as I know. Oh, shit. Why don’t they do that for wanted? That would be great idea. Instead of having utter screw the rating through screw the star system.

 

01:07:35:22 – 01:07:54:18

#therideshareguy YouTube

Yeah. All right, so that’s so crap. Anyways. Oh, by the way, by the way, I got a couple of emails from delivery drivers. Guess what Uber started to do in their cities? You know, the five out of ten we have to see up front destination and they’re doing it for eats now. Three out of ten. Really? Where is that?

 

01:07:55:24 – 01:08:16:17

#therideshareguy YouTube

That’s California. Is that another area? Florida. And the other one was, I think D.C., LA was like now they have a counter for eats. I got the if you guys do the counted on eats bro I’m quitting eats altogether so you can take that reward and shove it you know? I mean, how to bring hot water just started watching houses burn.

 

01:08:16:17 – 01:08:45:00

#therideshareguy YouTube

Hot water. They’re getting sued, buddy. Another massive lawsuit coming their way. This one is an antitrust lawsuit. You have to rewatch the start of the show and the first 20 minutes show shows that. So you can either watch the replay or the audio podcast will be available either later or tomorrow morning on that’s on all major platforms. So we had the legal team on who had the plaintiff on and we had the head of our deal, Nicole Moore on.

 

01:08:45:00 – 01:09:02:27

#therideshareguy YouTube

So they talked their piece and got out of there so we can get on with our fun show. Yeah. So I’ve also gotten a lot of thumbs up. So I’m a top 10% driver and we zoom is crying because he does more than I do and he goes, I don’t know how you got this, but you know, you’re jealous what he’s doing.

 

01:09:02:27 – 01:09:24:26

#therideshareguy YouTube

What’s happening, huh? I think it’s because he went pee in the restaurant restroom and they got mad. So they give him a thumbs down, maybe. I don’t know, because his Tesla is not fast enough to get the food. They’re hot. That’s why you get. I don’t know. But either way. Well, good show. Awesome. Thanks for securing that that lawsuit.

 

01:09:24:26 – 01:09:54:05

#therideshareguy YouTube

And again, for anybody who come on later, go back check the replay is it is kind of by there in hot water among you know 550 women suing drivers will probably be suing for the same allegations. Just just a lot of things are going on when it comes down to it. Australia not Australia. No, it was Australia just settled a lawsuit with Uber about options to.

 

01:09:54:13 – 01:10:13:02

#therideshareguy YouTube

Oh yeah, Tony. Yeah. Did you see that flexibility in freedom up here? You know what? But Harry, is Harry still here? Harry, are you still here? You’re here. What? The thumbs up or thumbs down? How much money did Jay got out of that lawsuit that over just settled for eight and a half million? Did he get his couple hundred K?

 

01:10:13:19 – 01:10:31:21

#therideshareguy YouTube

Do you know? You won’t say even if you know probably Harry here. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, you’re here. Did Jay get like a 5000 k check for the settlement? Come on, Harry, we don’t have all day. You got to go. No, actually, we don’t have to go until you answer. I’m not sure you can say. I mean. Yes. Okay, that’s awesome.

That’s why he’s doing it. Allegedly. That’s why he’s doing the stock trading. Tell him not to lose all that money. Okay. Because pullbacks to buy every pullback as a suckers game. But that’s okay. Let’s go down of these what isn’t being sued. True but these are these are actually some bigger lawsuits. Now this could be massive, actually. Yeah.

 

01:10:54:04 – 01:11:17:15

#therideshareguy YouTube

And you know, the other thing, too, is one of the things is this was started in California, but it could potentially hit something on a national level. So something like this could potentially, you know, reach many more people. You know, it’s just kind of early days. It’s essentially the Wild West know when you think about it because, you know, everything’s, you know, came around.

 

01:11:18:00 – 01:11:38:23

#therideshareguy YouTube

You didn’t really know what was going on. You know, these companies are trying to find, you know, every crack crevice that they can go into when it comes to, you know, trying to, you know, do what they can right now, not pay drivers to charge more a lot more beyond that. But, you know, they’re trying to do what they can.

 

01:11:38:29 – 01:11:56:29

#therideshareguy YouTube

Laws are trying to catch up. So we’ll see what happens. But either way. But the big law said, you know what, the big lawsuit is going to be. The other lawsuit that the one that the driver’s side of the class action with the sexual assaults, you know what I mean? 5050, remember? So the passengers, the women are going up first and then the next one.

 

01:11:56:29 – 01:12:16:08

#therideshareguy YouTube

That’s going to be a big one. Cheeky chops. What city are you in and what kind of quest did you lock in? Please say like 54, 20 or something. Ridiculous garbage. Okay, please. Let’s end the show on a high note because it was 5420. Just log off, okay? Please. Come on. We don’t have all day. Let’s go. What?

 

01:12:16:14 – 01:12:42:16

You know, so are next week we’re going to be doing on our upfront earnings episode the following week.

 

01:12:42:16 – 01:13:01:18

#therideshareguy YouTube

So pretty much everything that we can think of with upfront earnings, both Uber, Lyft is, you know, Lyft is doing their their wild thing when it comes down to it. You know, you’ve been I know you’ve been running Tony’s numbers. Remember the one you video you did or short you did you know this driver is making 33 an hour and 30.

 

01:13:01:18 – 01:13:20:12

#therideshareguy YouTube

Now He’s doing his own thing, but he’s also driving now, and he’s very active on Twitter and Instagram and he’s an amazing man. So we’re going to have him on probably for the whole hour because.

 

01:13:20:12 – 01:13:48:09

#therideshareguy YouTube

We’re going to shit our pants from laughing. He’s funny. He’s funny. Dirty chip for $35. Yeah, I’ll see 33 for $35. You must be in Buffalo, right? I mean, I know garbage are you know, it’s funny because the promos have started going down, but I don’t know, they kind of flatlined their bottom two right now. So mine is anywhere from from 55 to 75.

 

01:13:48:09 – 01:14:14:26

#therideshareguy YouTube

So 40 trips for 55 bucks, ten more trips for $10 and 60 trips for 70 plus ten for another five. So a dollar. Yeah, not much. Yeah. Yeah. Chili shops in L.A., you know, in 2000, that’s for this weekend. They are 22. It was 325 with a $5 drop a mile for Uber X. There you go. That goes the spammer.

 

01:14:16:14 – 01:14:36:02

#therideshareguy YouTube

So make sure you just search. You can do that. Show me the money club. You know, Pop up. Oh, we’re available on all. Yeah, nobody. Nobody’s been shown the money. Look at this. Mandy says 15 bucks for 30 rides. The other one goes 30 for 40. I’m like, Oh, my God, I got garbage. I feel for you. $0.50.

 

01:15:35:08 – 01:16:03:09

#therideshareguy YouTube

Yeah. So, I mean, the good thing is this should be the surge is back. Yes. Let’s go. Yeah, this should be the bat, the bottom. And for some reason, it always kind of lags a little bit because when they do the promotions, they’re basing it on historical data. So they’re basing on last year’s data the year before last week’s data, and then they’re just trying to like the algorithm is it is algorithm.

 

01:16:03:09 – 01:16:26:22

#therideshareguy YouTube

Los Angeles 2420 I want you know, I don’t even get it. So I shouldn’t be talking about forget about your cost. 2420. Are you kidding me?

 

01:17:08:03 – 01:17:33:03

01:18:19:09 – 01:18:44:21

#therideshareguy YouTube

Did you see that one? I follow him on Twitter in a while. Him and his two kids on a bike in front of Dairy Queen window, not in the car standing. Wait a minute. He didn’t get that Uber eats delivered. Think about that. Think about that. He’s not using his own product. How shameful. Right. So well, you know, they ordered it and went to go pick it up because he’s not a tipper.

 

01:18:44:21 – 01:18:59:21

#therideshareguy YouTube

That’s why. Yeah. No tip, no trip for you. There. There you go. Nothing. I mean, nothing is working, but yeah, he was out there in the in the, you know, in the wash in the wild. He was out in the wild. And no, the Uber driver pulled over and then punched the crap out of him. So maybe he doesn’t have it.
