I started traveling again for work couple of weeks ago. My dad is an Uber driver and I want him to get the M / Thurs $$ I spend on ubers. Even when I request a ride and both of our phones are close by, sometimes the request goes to another driver far way.

Anyone have tips on making sure he gets the ride request? I wish Uber had an option to type in someone’s driver ID directly.

Why not just get him to setup a service himself and write you a receipt or get a square?

He said his dad is an Uber driver. Technically if you’re driving yourself or having a significant other, you should use the mileage reimbursement. But if your dad is an Uber driver, just take a screenshot of the pricing at time of ride and pay that way. I see no issue.

I would think the Uber to the airport would be fine since you’re both at home, but I think you’ll need to leave the airport to match with him. There are so many Ubers waiting around airports it could go to anyone.

Yeah even when we left the airport, it was still tough. Someone recommend Square below so will look into that. Thank you!!

I did this when my husband was a driver. If you cancel and rerequest (sometimes multiple times) it will eventually get to your dad. However, you could also schedule the ride and he could pick that up. As for airport, wait till you are in the car and driving away. As long as you are near the airport he will get the airport rates.

I recently had an interview with the hiring manager and they did 95% of the talking. It was the weirdest interview I’ve ever had. I didn’t know whether to interrupt and get a question and some comments in or stay quiet and listen. I couldn’t even gauge how it went. Has this happened to you.?
Also on average how many jobs do people typically interview for before they get an offer?
