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…
Mike Schonenberger: Friends Don’t Let Friends Ride With Strangers

Dear Uber: Why are you hiring felons to drive us around? Dino Formosa [UPDATED]
Previously: Bad Uber Driver Dino Formosa on immigrants Indians & Tipping! Dear Uber: (Update @ Bottom) We put our trust and faith in you – that when we open our Uber App, someone who is background checked and verified will be here to pick us up, and take us safely to our destination. So, we must ask, how is someone with these charges getting past your background checks? In a recent article about some hateful quotes from Nashville Driver Dino Formosa, we happened upon his criminal background charges. Here is…

Uber: Why Passenger Rating Matters – Are Drivers Refusing Your Ride? – Jonathan Russell
Just because they CAN, doesn’t mean they SHOULD. We’re talking about Uber & Lyft drivers cancelling or not accepting a ride request, just because a passenger has a ‘low rating’. Passenger Ratings should not have any effect on whether your ride request is accepted or cancelled, because as we’ve seen – there are any Uber Nashville and Lyft Nashville drivers in town that Give out 1-Star ratings for passengers just because they won’t buy the driver pizza, or want to go through a drive-thru, or don’t take a trip long…
Bob Benckert – Another Disgruntled Uber/Lyft 1-Star Giving Driver? Rude UberXpert?
We have to wonder what is with rude Uber & Lyft drivers this holiday season. We started off with the Rude Uber Driver reports a few weeks ago – starting with the Uber driver that gave passengers 1-Star ratings for random reasons, and for not tipping him or taking longer rides and increasing his profits, and then there was the Lyft Driver that dumped his passengers for not buying him pizza. Is there anyone sane left in the Nashville rideshare industry? Let’s look at our most recent idiot Uber Driver…
UPDATED (Oprah Responds!): Uber Driver James Cherry Suspended for “Handing out 1-Stars like Oprah”
UPDATED: James Victor Cherry responds, below:. Earlier today, we relayed the information we were given by a local Uber management partner, that the idiot driver who thought he was Oprah, had been suspended – And, of course, King James says he was not suspended at all, only ‘punished’. While we’re not sure what ‘punishment’ a 10-99 contractual arrangement (aka Uber) could enforce other than a suspension (maybe James is calling it a vacation?), we’ll simply let you decide who to believe. And James, here is our response to you! It…
