Talking for myself. I join Taxify to driver at my own timing.

If I am to be driving someone else's car on rentals. I still wont stress my self after meeting that week remittance and same amount for myself to save..

High numbers of drivers relax the moment they met up and had some more cash for themselves. And that's when the driver will be so bold to reject some request anyhow.

Taxify introduce the all hour bonus to motivate drivers to keep working even after meeting up remittance, if not.. U know naw
this happens only when the app is online and the car on move. Which means the driver is yet to park the car to chill..
Ultimately, it's still telling on the same mileage you think lower remittance demands will prevent or reduce.

Tgiirl:

you've stated another strong reason for the driver to be tempted to go back to the road even after meeting remittance targets.. which will still tell on the mileage.

Basically, You sort of consented to the fact that lower remittance demands doesn't change the driver's resolve to stretch the car's mileage Readings in a bid to pocket extra cash. There is nothing like 2much money for an ambitious driver and to get that money(whether for the car owner or himself), the car must be on the move.

U speaking for all drivers? Many drivers rest when the meet up a week remittance or target set for themselves. And that doesn't mean that[b] 'they are insane[/b]'
you have someone's car with you to deliver 35k weekly..by Thursday, you've doubled your target leaving you with atleast 35k for yourself; will you leave the car to chill for the rest of the week since there's no more target to meet?

If your answer is NO..don't bother to quote me

If it's YES. just be rest assured you av a VIP reservation in hell.

Cos they work morning and night. Some guys no dey sleep. On your Taxify riders app and see cars all over Lagos. So u can't compare such drivers with those that work 5:30am to 9pm.

Either way. U ll get your 40k weekly while your car is doing the work telling on its mileage.


Yet its the same car owner that will shout that driver over use their cars or sub-lease to other drivers to earn more and meet up without issues.

So the choice is urs. Some drivers can do 50k / 60k per week if u allow them to use the car without limitations in ur agreement papers
give the driver for 2k weekly remittance..he will stil use that car same way he is gonna do if you tell him 35k weekly.
No sane driver will meet double his remittance target by Wednesday and park your car to rest for the next 5days.

TheCar:
UBER/TAXIFY = The Platform

Car Owners/Drivers = The Vendors

Riders = The Customers.

The platform (Uber/Taxify) need vehicles. Most people who have vehicles don't have the time to drive. Hence they create a marketplace - a pool of registered cars and certified drivers - for Drivers to connect with car owners. Uber doesn't get themselves involved in drivers/car owners transactions. All they need is a good car with someone to drive it.

Their platform focus on matching riders with cars.

Slavery in the context means working for car owners not serving people. Serving people is not slavery dear, you get paid for me!!...no complex iss here
u seem to av got off your high horse. You introduced that slave word here 3pages back. You don't just come on forums with careless talks, respected individuals are here who you would av loved respect u too. You made drivers and partners feel like slaves with your opening comments on this issue, praising your bakery and pure water business so highly to the denigration of e-hailing biz. I've seen people who failed at what you say do and rather do sumtin else. That gives me no justification to call your business a waste of time, or its investors slaves. Each man to his own. The best you can do is make points and perspectives known to who it might be of help to, without being so egotistical or condescending.

luxy44:

Be proud of what you do, pls baba
If this had been so obvious to u ab initio, you wont av kicked off with an egotistical impression without really saying anything worthy of note business-wise.

Ok I understand your point... but u said your highest salary earner earns something like 60k a month ..what can that do for a person.. Uber is a tough business no doubt ...but most uber driver will make that 60k your highest earner makes in a week, if the uber owns the car easily... but if he does not own the car, am sure very sure he will take home more than 60k a month..
My experience with uber business, personal experience is that a lot of the drivers are greedy, not all of them ..and also managing coy or manager themselves are greedy or very conning ,from personal experience.. Now the smart drivers that were patient enough and experience enough ,were able to save enough money, saw a good deal and bought themselves a good car ..trust me from experience, u can see a good deal or lucky deal in terms of buying a good car ..I even offered to help person buy a car 04 civic landing cost for 1m tokunbo.. So at the end of it all , " in the mist of chaous, there is always an opportunity". It is up to you to make the most of that opportunity... all from personal experience... there is no need for me to explain how I gave a person great opportunity and the person blew... no need to go into details .. My point is that a lot of uber drivers can easily make more than your highest earner.. And aslo those slaves ,sorry I meant labourers working for you in the hot sun.. What is their goal in the nxt five years? Do they want to continue making bread for you for ever ? Or do they want to be carrying your pure water up and down for the nxt five years ? Uber drivers also do have the opportunity to network on their job o ...I am not too sure about your bread seller or pure water seller...
Nothing has ever been more touche in your clapbacks grin.

A driver using your car to hustle will not waste 5yrs before climbing the success ladder plus networking opportunities while on d job.
But a 60k bakery labourer has lesser chances of that, even zero. How much from 60k does he wanna save to build a bakery in the foreseeable future.
The rider who took me home yesternite, partnered with a corolla '09 car owner, saved up and got the matrix he drove me in lastnite.
The chances of that happening to that guy's bakery slave is a stone-throw from impossible.

Too bad we have to resort to berate vocations of ppl just to make a point..but the haughty business mogul called luxy44 set the unhealthy precedent on this one.

It happened in Alade market Ikeja.
I needed to buy some dollars, one guy came and said he can get it for me cheap. He asked me to wait for him, he collected my money and gave me his own bundle of money as "Assurance" that he'll not run with my money which was like 5x the amount I gave him. A few minutes later, he returned saying the owner of the dollar is requesting that I add more money that hes no longer selling at the agreed rate, so I refused and asked him to give me back my money which he brought out, counted and recounted b4 handing it back to me and I also returned his.

When I now got to one of the offices where I usually buy, the Mallam say my money no complete...that dude half my money...azzin he took half and gave me half. I wan mad!

...and nah company money, not mine.
I don't think I saw the part where u counted b4 u left the scene of the incident.

Okay Sir.

But you still missed the point.

He wasn't in bondage because of weekly remittance. He was because of the clauses inside the contract agreement he signed.

Drivers should be careful when signing agreement.

According to him

He delivered 35k weekly without stress to his previous partner and now delivered 30k weekly to his new partner. Some drivers are on 20k weekly whereas some are on 25k weekly and some are on 35k weekly. It all depends on your negotiation with your partner.

Cheers

Baba the issued wasn't about his weekly rental payment.

He didn't claim he has unable to deliver.

Car Owners differs and everything about weekly rental payment depends majorly on your negotiation skills as a driver before signing the agreement.

All car owners cannot categorically say they really receive payment on the same day or same time except the for card trips payment credited directly by Uber on Tuesday. Even Uber payment isn't consistent. Upper week the paid around 12pm but last week the paid around 4pm. Some weeks payment are delayed till Wednesday by Uber.

Our discussion was about his previous partner (Car Owner) who exploit him due his desperation to start quickly.

Cheers
well understood sir, which is why I simply put in my OP u quoted strictly on the issue of disbursement..
It's the impression the msg gives that is taken as the msg, regardless of its intended meaning.

It was one of those contracts you go into out of desperation.
Owner said he will handle only engine and gear box repairs while I took care of every other repairs. For 1 year and 3 months, there was no engine issue neither was there any gear box issues.
I remitted 35k/week.
I was in bondage.

Luckily, robbers rescued me from that contract.
I am now on a 30k/week contract with a 2010 corolla. NO ASSURANCE DEPOSIT demanded from the car owner and we are having a wonderful relationship. I even pay him on Sundays at times before taxify and uber settles.
There are still reasonable persons here on nairaland
as regards the emboldened, if u often pay up 30k remittance 2-3days b4 the due day. Then, 35k a week wasn't bondage in any way for u strictly on the issue of disbursement.
Statements like this are real suicidal, it can give the car owner 2nd tots on d weekly remittance. If u knw, you know.

A rider's rating shows you what to expect from the rider. There was time I got a rider with 3.5, the rider actually behaved badly.
I dropped the rider's rating lower for the next driver to use his initiative on how to relate with him

If you don’t tell me your destination, forget it, I’m not coming. If u like report to Uber. I don’t care. If I call u myself and u are sounding rude already, I’m canceling immediately. Life is too shor for stress. The real rich riders are never rude. The poverty stricken Olosho girls are the worst. I once parked and ordered one to get out of my car with a smiling face cos she called me fool for not increasing d AC. She thought I was joking because I was smiling and demanding her exit from my car. I ended the trip, gave her a star and told Taxify she’s rude and disrespectful. Case closed
am curious..to what end does taxify/uber require u rate a rider?
Any incentives to it.?
