Meet Jasim – A driver with over 20,000 trips

We’ve caught up with Jasim, a partner-driver with over 20,000 trips and counting. He’s been telling us why he loves partnering with Uber and offering up some advice.

Thank you, I’m very very happy.

I celebrated with my family. Also, the GLH staff in Reading. They are very nice people, so I made them a cake! I put the word Uber in the middle and we took a picture. I gave them the cake to say thank you.

Exactly 3 years now. Maybe 3 years and 5 days…

I was a decorator before but I wanted to change job. I like driving and being around people. This is why this is the best business for me. I love it really.

It’s not just something to support my family, it’s more than just work to me. I love it, I enjoy it. I say to riders “of-course I like money, but money isn’t everything. I like my job, liking my job comes before money.” You might think that’s crazy but I love it.

I start after 11 in the morning usually. Usually, I do 9 – 10 hours every day. I don’t like to start early in the morning.

Not really. Everyone is nice to me and I’m nice to them. I enjoy it in general.

Be friendly and be nice to people. Riders can complain if you’re in a bad mood. If I’m having a bad day I tend to stay in the house! If you’re having a bad day, stay with your wife or kids. I never drive in a bad mood.
