ppl were not paid50k sir, 43k or there about..... Oga u need to drive 15HRS to pay rent of 50k..... Say u make 120k in a week.. Cost of fuel....Car wash/data/credit..... Rentals...... 30k.... 10k... 50k... That leaves u with 30k for ursef....I didt even add Uber commission.... On 120k Uber takes 25%....a driver who delivers 50k weekly should be able to make 50k for himself ,u don't risk ur health and life for peanuts.... Forget all that rubbish of whoever told u driving is fun.... Yes in some states like abuja and ilorin with no traffic, but in Lagos, driving is hell......oga the game has changed...... I do only taxify and My highest earning was 160k a week, the next week both the car and I were admitted in different hospitals, thank God say I no bash oga car.... All cos I was on 45k weekly and still maintaining a 2008 Camry muscle

jpworld:


Fuel to accomplish 100k weekly if corolla is less than 25k(3x7-21k), 9mobile 1200 for 1.5 gig.. aboki charge 2500 for car wash monthly.

Your family is your personal problem, the owner wont say because you have a large family then dont want to make income. or better still if you have a large family dont drive uber, go and apply for Chevron work.

@ the end of the week, after personal expense, the minimum you are going home with weekly is 20k, sometimes it could be more.

chinchunchu:
Mr your calculation is absolutely wrong...with this...its really shows you haven't been on the road driving on uber or taxify for sec...50k is slavery even with 40k ur car will be the one to suffer for it cos it will definitely going to be on the road day and nite for driver to meet up...I noticed only greedy partners come here to complain of driver running off with thier money...and most driver takes off stupid deals out of despiration...its possible for u to get 50k but believe me...out of 4 weeks in a month...u won't get remittance more than twice..the rest will be stories or your spending most of the weeks at the mechanic workshop...stop been greedy.... E hailing is not a ponzi...

ameristu:


You need at least 100 hours on the road a week to hit the 100k target.

About 14-15 hours on the road for 7 days.

jpworld:



Are you trying to tell me what's good for my business , Business I have been doing for couple of years

If only you know the meaning of slavery.

Face ur driving

THIS IS FROM A GUY THAT DRIVES PART TIME.

Let's change the narrative. To all drivers that are complaining that request is low. To all drivers that want their rental reduced coz of so called low request. To all fleet managers that are reducing rental for drivers. Let's change the narrative. Let us train these drivers on how to make use of their time more efficient. Let's change the narrative.

vulpeslopez:
oga dru, u Don join the narratives team or u wan do the remix

It was nice talking to you today. You are very correct. Uber is more than driving. Everything in life is planning. I just feel that only a few drivers are complaining. But that few can spoil the rest or discourage people. Thanks

I am neither a car owner nor driver on any e-hailing platform and have no intentions of being either.
All this driver must have take home that's greater than what he remits to car owner or fleet manager is greed.
How many people here who work for companies/organizations (whether big or small) can confidently say their monthly income is greater than 50% of what they make for their employers?
The only reason people are thinking and coming out to say the driver should earn more money than car owner is because he has total access all resources in the business.
In every situation I know or have heard of, investor/ employer/business owner makes more money than any employee.
Every driver that wants to take the same amount of money home with car owner is directly setting himself up for failure because that means he has to make atleast three times the amount he remits; with each third going into car running/maintenance, car owner ROI and driver income.
Example: Weekly delivery of 25k, shared maintenance or repair clause and driver wants to earn atleast 25k too means.
Weekly remit =25k
Car running/ maintenance contribution= 25k
Driver take home =25k+X
Total = 75k+X
After 3 months max one of car or driver or both will be unavailable for a greater part of a week and driver won't be able to meet up for with that week's payment and this will be commencement of problem because owner thinks his remit his small and he shouldn't have any complain, driver will think owner is inconsiderate due to his sense of entitlement which in the first place led him to believe he should earn more than car owner.
Driver will eventually suffer greatest loss because he will lose car - source of income, which will lead him to signing a worse contract on next offer.
Vehicle owner still has his car, in a worst case scenerio of car total loss he gets compensation, if driver dies he may still be the one to get claim for driver's life and pass whatever he wants on to driver's family.

Any driver who thinks the value on his life his greater than the cost price of vehicle invested by car owner should claim he has terminal disease or was kidnapped for his family members and see how much they will raise within a week if it is more than the cost of the car take it and go and buy car, then become a driver partner. If not, be humble and contented with a reasonable amount that you can easily replicate monthly.

I am not jollof, I can't make everyone happy.

But a driver is not an employee in that sense... A driver is the active partner in the business while the car owner is the passive partner

This is getting interesting. I think drivers should be grateful that someone is willing to put 2m Naira down to employ his service so he could feed his family.

You should go and see how that man made that 2m Naira before running your mouth. Stop been ungrateful in this period of recession.
I have never heard of an employee making more money than his/her employer, it doesn’t matter whether it’s e-hailing business.

The sharing formula should be 70/30 after Uber fee, fuel, data, car wash and miscellaneous.

Investor takes 70%, driver takes 30%.

Investor puts 50% aside to recoup his capital and car maintenance.
Investor takes 20% profit for his upkeep.

If investor decides to fix his money in any bank instruments, he is assured of his initial capital at the end of the year. People go into business so they can recoup their capital and even re-capitalize with a higher margin.

By the way why are partners not opting for percentage, that way everyone will share the burden of downtime, more like EARN AS YOU GO.

Driving a car 15 hours everyday is different from working in an office 9 - 5. Never compare d two. Ur 1.8m Corolla is not worth more than my life. If there’s life, there’s hope
