If you get Drew Lankford as your Uber driver in Nashville, you will be listening to christian religious music on the radio – and you will like it – or he may just stop the ride and put you out on the side of the road – that according to his own words, earlier this week. When asked what kind of music he plays in his care, Drew Lankford replied with ‘KLOVE’, which is a christian radio station, and gave the following explanation: “don’t know about your beliefs but I…

Woman Urinates in Nashville Uber – Driver Gets $80 for His Troubles
Travis Clark was just starting his night of driving for Uber Friday night in Nashville, when around 7PM his first ride was a nice female rider in her fifties, on a ride that lasted about 40 minutes. Clark even says there was great conversation along the way. Everything was going well until she got out of his car at her destination. His passenger seat was covered in urine. Not a drip. Not a drop. Not a dribble. Saturated in Urine. And as she separated herself from the seat, the smell…
How Many Hours is your Uber/Lyft Driver Driving?
What if you could make $300 a day, would you work any number of hours to get to that goal? What if you were responsible for a passenger in your car, and that job was driving? That’s exactly what’s happening in Nashville with the Uber and Lyft drivers. We’ve found drivers working over 15 hours in a day behind the wheel. How would you feel knowing your Uber/Lyft driver was working 15 hours behind the wheel? Would you feel that was safe for them to drive you to your destination?…
Nashville Uber/Lyft Driver Found Parked in Traffic, Asleep at Wheel, Arrested for DUI
Nashville Uber/Lyft Driver Christopher Redman has an upcoming court date on June 29th, to answer to charges that occurred a few weeks ago, on 02/23. Those charges include DUI & Implied Consent. He continues to drive and carry passengers, despite the charge, and continues to drink at bars and post about it on social media.

Uber Driver Jerimy Chittom will take “those people (immigrants)” to INS Office instead of requested destination
On Wednesday, there was an immigration vigil in Nashville, and notably there were many more people using Lyft than Uber to get to the event, mainly due to each companies response to the President’s actions this week, and the massive #DeleteUber movement – and the ride share drivers, who often drive for both companies in Nashville, took quick notice. One driver that uses both apps posted about the surge in Lyft Riders, and the lack of Uber riders going to the same place: Nashville Uber driver Jerimy Chittom was quick…
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 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…
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…

While an estimated 150K people showed up for the festivities on New Year’s Even in Nashville Thursday night, those depending on a ride-share service like Uber or Lyft, woke up on Friday morning with more than a headache – bills for hundreds of dollars, for rides that lasted only a few minutes and went only a few miles. We’ve seen receipts for rides nearing $700 sent to us the past two days. Â New Year’s Eve in Nashville: The Rideshare Surge, $600+ Uber/Lyft rides? We asked our tipsters in the ride-share…
Nashville Lyft Driver Jarrod Romine Refuses ride to Rider with Service Animal
The law is very clear on one thing, if you have a service animal you cannot be refused service for any normal service that anyone else in the general public is provided – including Lyft & Uber rides. Every reasonable accommodation must be made, and this is federal law, called the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), for those that want to play dumb. So what if the Lyft (or Uber or even taxi) driver is “allergic” to dogs? The law still stipulates that every reasonable accommodation must be made. In…
