re: Guess uber doesn't vet their drivers very well

Dude, I know nothing about uber. I know it's a hot topic on here just by the number of threads daily. I was told a story by someone in a "guess what happened to us this weekend" kinda way. I thought the OT would find it interesting. I posted. The end. Not trying to hurt your stock options, geez

Meet me somewhere and lets settle this

I can tell you, if somebody had even 1 DWI at any point within the last 10-15 years they will not get hired

I know someone who got a DWI 8 years ago and she drives for Uber.

When I was in Vegas in November, I got to talking to the taxi cab driver. He was telling me about the "business". He was saying that whatever the driver makes on each shift, the taxi cab company gets half of what they bring in plus $1 for each person they drive. In other words, if he drives 5 people on a shift and brings in $100. He owes the cab company $50 plus $5 then they have to pay to fill up the cab, which they purchase from the cab company.

Anyway, Uber came up and he was telling us how Vegas banned the service. Something happened and basically the cab unions was able to use it to get Uber banned. But from what I understand, Uber is like a franchise. Anyone can start an Uber franchise and the person who starts their own franchise is responsible for the drivers they have working under them. Uber doesn't really much of a screening in terms of who can drive for them.

wow, I would have asked the officer to complete the fair. lol

I hope she at least took a few stars off for that.

You coming pick me up or what? Frickin uber drivers, I swear

We had an old uber driver in birmingham a few months ago. Dude couldn't follow the gps to get us back to our house. So my roommate would up driving us home in the uber car.
