Last year we told you that Postmates would be removing the schedules/priority shifts for its workforce, and today the announcement was made official via this announcement to couriers: Here’s some of our previous coverage, read the full article here: Postmates: Courier Schedules Going Away Previously we told you about some of the shakeups and controversy happening over at deliver-anything-to-your-doorstep ‘Postmates’, and their couriers, which many of us here in East Nashville have learned to rely on religiously, to snag anything from groceries, to dinner, to some emergency Plan B…

Uber Driver Cedric Burns Still Raging About “Privileged, Entitled Millennials” Not Tipping for UberEats; Drivers like Michael DeArmond still refusing to deliver to door
In November, we told you about Nashville Uber Driver Cedric Burns, who was going on rants and tirades about customers not tipping him for UberEats deliveries, despite Uber telling customers that tipping is not expected or required for this service. In the previous story we told you about drivers who were simply keeping the food of customers who would not tip them, because they were only delivering to the curbside and refusing to bring it to the customer’s door – which is also a directive of how to deliver, by…
Uber Driver James Henneberg is “bothered” by the “transgender thing”; Refuses to be Paired with Gay Couple in Future; Admits to Lying
Uber Driver James Henneberg isn’t having a good week, as we have received multiple tips from other drivers about him. Generally when this happens we assume it’s just someone with a grudge and we have to work harder to verify the source; however in this case we’ve received the same information from multiple sources each time. We are learning more about the character of James Henneberg, in reference to an incident that happened a few days before Christmas. Despite all we’ve learned in the past few days, Henneberg continues to…
Uber Driver James Henneberg Uses Military Service/Disability Status to Solicit Tips
After seeing our story about Uber driver James Henneberg’s distracted driving yesterday, an alert driver sent us a tip with the sign that Henneberg has in his car that he uses to solicit tips from passengers. While Uber drivers are allowed to accept/solicit tips, having a sign with this much explanation and, in our opinion, outright “begging” goes beyond the standard of what we’ve seen in any Uber or Lyft vehicle before. The sign explains (in way too may words) about the Drivers rating system (Tip: Passengers don’t want to…
Nashville Uber/Lyft Drivers Refuse Fast Food Stops
Previously, we’ve told you about the Uber Driver who refused to stop at Krystal’s for a rider, UberEATS drivers that keep food for themselves, and a Lyft Driver who ABANDONED their passenger for not buying him pizza during a fast food stop. It’s been a year since those stories, so we wondered if things had changed. Were drivers still denying passengers stops for food? We know that both ride-share companies tell their passengers that these stops are perfectly normal, and they even compensate the drivers for the time spent waiting…
Uber Driver James Henneberg – Driving Distracted?
Nashville Uber Driver James Henneberg often posts “live” video streams to his social media.. and while this is a grey area of the law if the phone is in a cradle and being operated hands-free – once the phone is in your hand and you are using functions on the screen and reading the screen and interacting with viewers, it is almost always as situation that law enforcement would consider “distracted driving”.. in fact, very recently some agencies, such as the THP have started to use the distracted driving law…
