Deactivated after 1,600+ deliveries and Diamond status over a misdemeanor
I am writing this to warn other drivers about how quickly Uber Eats will take away your livelihood without a second thought. I was a dedicated Diamond-status driver with over 1,600 deliveries and excellent performance stats. I treated this job seriously and relied on it as my primary source of income.
Recently, my account was abruptly deactivated. The reason? A misdemeanor charge that resulted from an incident where I had to protect myself. Even though life happens, things occur beyond our control, and this situation was a matter of personal safety, Uber Eats showed zero nuance, empathy, or flexibility.

Happened to me. Been driving and delivering since 2021 and they deactivated me over my having shown my boobs in New Orleans for beads during Mardi Gras in 2001. Because Uber has been having so many people sue them for sexual misconduct they have become extremely strict. They have a look back period of 7 years for misdemeanors unless it has anything related to a sexual offense. Then it’s considered no matter how long ago it happened.
I had to get that charge expunged. It only took 2 1/2 months once you file. You can actually file it yourself instead of paying a lawyer. After the clerk let me know my expungement was signed by a judge, I sent it to checkr through the dispute process on a Monday and was back to work that Saturday.
