Will employees be given company vehicles to drive or will they continue to use their own, often unsafe vehicles that lack maintenance?

What are you talking about

Uber checks the vehicle status annually, must be 4 door, 7 or less years old, no salvage vehicles, no visible damage.

reminds drivers about renewal of driving license, car insurance and annual inspection.

Random checks of driver, selfie matches DL photo, checks has home computer password, does complete 3 page security check

Think about it...if you drive a crappy car will get poor customer reviews...and get terminated by Uber

Spokeshave who drives 5000 miles a month for Uber.

What are you taking about? It’s a known fact when the companies operate owner operator the maintenance is on the RO and always suffers. It’s why they they operate their biz this way to avoid all the maintenance issues and lay it on the RO drivers. When the drivers wear out their own vehicles spinning up the odometer, ya think the company gives a rats azz?

When the company has employee drivers and company vehicles, guess who’s liable? The company$$. And that’s exactly why companies maintain their vehicles way better than any owner operator uber hack who’s barely making ends meet.

So every two years you’re putting on 120,000 miles and ya need a new vehicle. And now add in all the miles ya drive when your not trolling for passengers...Are you buying/leasing a new car every two years driving for uber?

Factoring on all that, + insurance, maintenance, fuel etc, if that’s the case, the company is getting their mileage out of you big league. It’s why they don’t want employee drivers. They cost WAY too much for the company not to mention the sky high liability.
