Thanks bro.. ..I also mentioned on previous post that some partners are very careless ..it goes both ways....
It's a very tough business, the last driver owes me over 100k naira... he didn't pay 30k naira for his December 2019 payment.. I let it go ,I was told he has three kids and small baby..etc .. So I gave him time and he was taking advantage of my kindness.. Last ,last I collected the car from him.
So imagine if I let all the drivers owe me , you think that is fair ? The other drivers are doing ok and this is why I take my time hiring drivers....

You are doing well bro.

They are unrealistic numbers that are not sustainable.

....drivers that once claimed such figures and painted everybody as lazy...are nowhere to be found today again.

Your 21k is your lucky day.

Bro, 21k for a rookie like you is wonderful but don't go about hoping for that money every day. There are days, you'll toil from morning till dusk and not gross 5k. It happens.
Just take it as that and chin up.
Have you found a car to drive after returning your friend's car? I might have a deal for you but its not certain yet.

Majority works 24/7

my woman drove one from the international airport to lekki, behind shoprite early hour of today. He slept from the airport road to lekki tollgate. When they got to my place I have to cease his car key, gave him a place to sleep then advice him to end the trip when he wakes up.

He remits 30k weekly and does 10k repairs.
isn't this wickedness?
Isn't this slavery?

I started this business 2 years ago. Today I have 8 cars. You have been a blessing to me and I have learnt a lot from you. This is supposed to be business, no sentiments at all. Most drivers are heartless. Give a driver a brand new mint car not tokunbo o and tell him to remit 10k weekly, some drivers will still default. Doing business in the country is tough. The hardest part of doing business in Nigeria is getting honest employees. Dru keep doing what your're doing. Most drivers here will hate you for saying the truth.

Ogataxi:

Wow! Thanks boss @ bolded
I really appreciate! I'm still driving the car for now though. I'm hoping on gathering reasonable down payment b4 next weekend so I can get a good deal. When I'm ready for a ride I go spam this thread with my requests morning till night till person gv me moto drive

Once again thanks boss. I[b] do hope your offer is still available then[/b].

mrjaydee:


Tojahh.. bad guy.

That's how we roll bro.. na wetin I dey always talk back in the days when I was still driving full time. I hardly get disrespected from the slay mamas, oloshos, yahooboys etc. Cos if you self see me in front of you, I reiterate if you see me.. you wont even think of it.

adeniyiHansome:
Yes. For Indriver and Ocar too. Good alternative to Uncle Coro.

Very sensible statement! Imagine asking folks to help him recover N300, how ridiculous,

A friend has a really sweet Elantra that he intends to drive himself but doesn't know if the car can handle the stress associated with the business..

Very sensible advice, it’s very easy to get burnt out in this job, take time off, holidays or go partying, or the job will start to disgust you.

Its why its a beautiful world...we disagree to agree.

Was on my way back from the Niger Delta today with one of the popular public transport system with lots of years in the business. Guess what? The driver was sleeping seriously while on steering. I was at the front seat and was also very tired and dosing off as well because I couldn't bear it, I noticed the slightly zigzag and eractic movement so I'd to sit up and then engaged him in discussion... He said it him self he was sleeping!.

No imagine the risk this driver is putting his life and that of his passengers and other people at even including his company and their property.

Now, the last aircraft crash that happened, was it last or there about. There was lot of report it was due to inexperience by the pilot. All lies.

The truth is, most employers dont provide the enablung2 environment for their workers rather are just after their business and profit.

Most or even all of these public transport companies don't have rooms for their drivers to rest after a long trip not to talk of even a bathing room or a toilet or even self a HMO should they or their family members fall sick along the line of duty. Go to their park every night you'll see them sleeping inside their car/bus the once that the day was good for them spend the night in either their concubine's house or with a sex worker with few hours sleep in the night and the next morning they're on the road driving putting people's life and property at risk.

Can we boldly call a 20yrs old boy a grown up man in nigeria? @Dru23 that boy is still a child oh this is not United State of American where a child of 20 is regarded as a man oh... Over here in Nigeria we still have men in their 40s still living under their parwnts roof they still chop and say "mama thank you ma". So that child is still a boy.
I won't allow my child of 20 take a driving job, it's high to him.

You need to the way these children drive on the road. Esp these coro boys, doing 80kmph on a busy road. It is that madness? The annoying one is they will never allow you enter their front but the way they will enter your enh!

Felicity0001:

Chia!! So sad.
A 20 yrs old boy. God have mercy!

Bro, tell that guy to go submit his CV to workforce group ,Whytecleon, Dragnet (contract banking jobs, instrumentation Engr jobs etc) are available and should help keep his body and souls together till a better offer surface. I understand that they don't pay much but with his course & grade, 50-65k after all deductions is far better than toiling all day under hot sun to remit 30k to partners.
He should also be on the lookout for Graduate trainee roles, he will surely get invited for test and if he knows his onions with a dint of luck, he would get a job.

You reminded me of my earlydays in this business, 2017. I was paying 40k to my partner and was doing servicing of the car with synthetic oil of 20k bimonthly and I was handling all the repairs myself. It was hell for me. I knew nothing about the biZ before signing Agreement. At a time I felt my partner took advantage of me. When he noticed am a novice. But all these things made me who I am today. To say am over successful in this ehailing biz is an under statement. Looking back 2years ago to now, my account is a very fat one. It has always been the yardstick i measure my success. Thank God. In every mess there is a message.

Felicity0001:

Sir you're right with every of your point but this is not the subject.
You've been into the business for two years, good and congratulations to your advancement and progress but what would you do to that your beat renter who has been paying you for lets say 12months without any stories with good maintenance of your business and one day he say boss I'm taking 1 or 2 week off to rest and maybe pay attention to my health because I feel somehow so for some reason he either returns the car to you or parks it idle in his garage then travels. Would you say because it's business and you can't afford to loose a 1 week or 2 you then say to him, No! Before you return the car must have been given out to some one else? Or you would ask him not to go on his vacation?
