You're competing against buses, trams, and DARTS, plus e-scooters during the day and retired gentlemen drivers.

If it's a bit quiet the only ones being offered jobs are the ambassadors.Freenow say it themselves that ambassadors earn 30% more.

When I'm cruising around looking for jobs it's usually the stickered up lads right beside me who are changing direction to go back and get an app job.My app is on just like theirs and it doesn't even flash or beep for a second.There are a a lot of ambassadors in the fleet now.It's bound to make a difference.

Does uber have a lick arse program as well? I do see cars driving around with uber stickers splattered everywhere.  There must be some advantage to having them. But I thought I read somewhere that nearest driver gets the job with uber so why would you be a lick arse and sticker up?

They do pay for stickers.I've suspected for a while that stickered up drivers are getting slight edge on the rest of us but it's hard to prove.They might just be hungry cunts and faster on the app.

Uber seem to send the job out to a few near drivers at the same time to keep us keen and make us feel like we're missing out when we miss a job.

They pay for stickers? How much is defacing your car worth? 20 quid a week? 50? 100?
