Uber Auto Cancelled My Trip & Gave It To Someone Else

@Eddiesolds did you used to work for Uber?

@uikakarotuevegeta No i haven't..i did think about doing it for.a.side thing . I needed to get out of my routine. I was sick of it. I thought that maybe it would help.also.. They want me to get my truck inspected. I dont have time for that.I dont want to.pay the bill for that neither..
I just dropped the idea

@Eddiesolds yeah you need a more recent vehicle, valid insurance (whatever that means), and also pay for driver history and background check; for me, i only need to "pay" for background check as i deliver by bike (as in Uber takes some earnings to cover for it twice a year)

@uikakarotuevegeta only do that work if you are desperate. they will cheat you constantly even as a contractor.

@StygianKohlrabi yeah my cancellation rate these past few days kept spiking up, and yeah I'm desperate

Ironically it'll be easy for me to get a job now that I have one

@Monalisasmith86 what are you talking about? Cancellation rate is how many times I cancelled out of the total deliveries I successfully completed. Higher % is worse to the algorithms and to customers. each area has its own rate which results in account deactivation. Sadly I'm not in such an area, as I have the unfair 20% rate when that happens; some places don't even have such a cap, so you can cancel as much and get away with it.

It does "reset" after every 100 deliveries (same with acceptance rate), but it acts as a rotating wheel rather than a complete new slate.

@uikakarotuevegeta oh ok never mind

@Jokersswild yeah i guess my honeymoon phase with Uber is ending
