i understand bro. It has not been easy bro. The first 3 weeks for me on the hustle, I was just making money for lastma police and task force people. They were always catching me for one offence or the other sotey I thought I was cursed. But I guess I learned. We just dey push am bro. Everywhere go good. The hustle and the many challenges almost demotivated me. I dey even dey try pay to bolt now sef, but the money no dey reflect, it keeps getting reversed to my account

BAZ001:


By the time your own the car both you and the car would have grown old (older at least 3yrs to your age and car ) then you start fixing spare parts and your body too.

I don’t know how veterans did it or ehailing is not just for me.
How can you drive upandan Lagos 3yrs+ and not grow grey hair

HP and rental na long thing... same trenches

cooleo:
Hi guys, i reactivated my bolt account after i stopped driving for like 2 years. I have uploaded drivers license and vehicle inspection report but app keeps notifying me to get a new car to activate account whenever I try to go online. I have even tried reaching out to them via the app but they keep telling me they are forwarding the matter to the relevant team. Has anyone experienced this before? How did you solve it?

Glithronix:

For where?
You don quickly forget say this is Just my 3rd month of joining and driving as a bolt driver?
Abi you no dey when I started?
No whine me, abeg.

@glithronix.

Dead Zones are places we don't wish to go. Not places we drive out empty.

Ikorodu, Apapa, Ojo, ejigbo, Ikotun, abulegba, Iju, Akute, ibafo, Ipaja, ayobo, Igando, Lakowe, Epe......

These are major dead zones a smart driver don't wish to take a trip to.
But if you eventually take a trip to any of those places, no need to drive out empty, cos 60% of the trips you'll get there are surely trips to better areas.

Why drive empty from Ikorodu to Ikosi when your next trip could be to Ikeja?
Why drive empty from Oshodi to Maryland when your next trip could be to Lekki?

Oshodi to Maryland is about 20mins drive, but you can get a trip inside Oshodi in less than 5mins; and 80% of the times, the trip will take you out of Oshodi.

What if you drive from Apapa to Maryland empty and your next trip from Maryland is taking you back to Apapa?
What if you drive from Egbeda to Ikeja and your next trip is taking you to Ayobo?

When you find yourself in one of those places that you've marked on red, the best thing is to look for a better place around there, park and wait for a trip. You will most likely get a trip to a better area.
If you get a trip that's going within same area or worse, reject it, arrive and cancel, tell rider to Cancel. If bad trips keeps coming in repeatedly, set destination from there to the island or island-to-mainland and wait a while.

Again: the best time to use Indriver are times you find yourself in those dead zones, cos you can easily cherry pick rides to better parts.

Sha do what works for you bro. You'll surely get better with time. I did worse when I got in newly. I always drove down to surulere anytime I took a ride to VI, Ikoyi & Lagos Island. Cos of my fear of lastma and CBD.
I will share them here one day. Don't have the time yet.
I'm trying to host my project and create a good portfolio at the moment.

Glithronix:

I've also paid 10k to those uniform men for taking one-way which was a very funny one-way arrest. Come see as dem catch plenty cars that day, we come line up like say we be presidential escorts. Those people made money that day.
I dey pass there after that and I go just dey smile. Cos the DO NOT ENTER board is always there.
The hustle no easy, my brother. For one to be excited working as an e-hailing hustler, you gats to be the one who enjoys driving.
It is well, boss. Please no get discouraged, you own your car and that's a big hit for you, cos your earnings na your money.
On the reversed money you were paying to bolt, maybe na network issues be that. You fit give it time before trying to pay again.
Much respect, boss.

GiggsTk:


How about those in a full time job, who work 5 or more years, and can hardly afford their yearly rent, no savings, and too little income to be able to establish any side business or investment?

Driving definitely is hard work, but with proper planning, if a person does that for 2 years(during which they are still able to meet their daily needs-rent, feeding, clothing etc., from proceeds from this venture)and owns their own vehicle, that can easily become a source of income to them. Even if they don't want to drive again at that point, they could give it out for rental.

I wouldn't call it slavery

Duplik8t77:
lol....aah I dont own the car o. Na rent.

SamuelTaiw0:


Bro, I still dey find ride o. Waiting on one deal. Don't know if it will work out. Like this ehn I don get disappointment for rides like four times.

There was one elantra I almost had last month, owner had to repaint and do some repairs before he handed over to me on rental... His mechanic spoilt the gear after painting again just two days to the day we agreed that I'm going to pick the car up, and i had been waiting for almost two months. Owner just became discouraged. He said he won't give it out on rental again, he also had over heating issues after painting before gear go spoil. He just had difficult mechanics and they were chopping his money. As it was a rental deal and I don't have it yet, there was little I could do to advise him. That was how I lost that one.

If you have any connect, a beg reason me o.

Glithronix:

Boss, anybody wey wan copy you is on a long thing oooh. Heheheheeee.
You are a car owner, me I dey on rental. The difference will always be there, cos the way you hustle go dey different from mine.
If I own a car, boss, I know how much target I go give myself daily and I go meet am up.
Person gats to apply sense ooh. This Lagos roads no good and maintenance for the car owner should be put in consideration.
Yesterday own na 4 trips, yeah. I have done countless single trips that ended 5k-6k-7k well well. So, no be say I no know wetin you dey yarn ooh, boss.
Weekends, I dey gross 35k-40k wella, which I know the net already.
Shey e no good like that, boss?
4 trips of yesterday na short trips which I was happy about cos I just wanted to hustle for expensive meal money, that's all.
I got a trip from Maryland to Island that yesterday evening, I declined straight, cos I was not interesting in hustling yesterday, na just small hustle to get myself some elite dinner.
I understand your point, boss.
Don't forget, set destination can only be done twice in a day, but I wasn't in the mood for hustle yesterday.
No vex for your boy oooh.
Much respect, my boss.

donbrowser:
Sallah PROMO!!!

Buy a car from me and get the attached car camera for free. In addition, you also get car scratch cleaner kits!!!

Sounds good right?

Nothing is ever free even in Free Town.

The difference as been added to the cost of the car

Simple!
Let's deal now!!

Duplik8t77:
I agree with you boss. Most of the roads in the inner streets in this Lagos can be terrible especially after rain omo. I went to ikotun powerline road, the bad road almost comot bumper

Pearl1910:


Delete the car and Add New Car afresh. Preferably through the driver portal. This should work.
Except u just got that car and previous owner used it on Bolt and car is still on that person's account then send Bolt a mail.

Felicity001:


You still have a lot to learn bro...
















































I use up to 4 a day if I choose to just know your card well, study the client and put up a smile or a straight some times. Indriver is also a good one if your DS is dropping so I don't see any sense in that excuse you're trying to make blowing empty across 3MB... Do you know how much that is?

From island to mainland empty??!!
When I'm not mad even if na so le 3h from phase1 to oworo thatbwill cover for my fuel I go carry.

Stop saying you blowing empty just to protect partners car... Shey na free him dey give you the motor ni? Abi e get where no get bad road for Lagos?? Haven't you been to alpha Beach road, baale street, or all those interlocking road in phase1 b4? Or don't you know those tiles does more damage to your shaft than the bad gallopy roads on the mainland?

No pressure my guy, keep doing your thing. Everybody sabi wetin dey work for them, as time goes on you will get the hang of the whole thing.

GiggsTk:
I have a question please, who here is using a manual car for e-hailiing.

I haven't driven a manual car in years and had to do that for the past two weeks. My legs suffered a lot.

So how do you cope especially with traffic?

BAZ001:


The job you described above is better than driving HP
IF.... capital if ?
IF it’s a job with experience and growth not cleaner or shawama seller. Cause we like comparing driver to gala seller or cleaners.
Why because number of years of experience matters ?
I started a job after Nysc earning 37k , after 3yrs I moved to another job 220k and promoted to 550k. I’m still quoting my years of experience with referrals till today. I have professional certificate to back them.

So compare that to a young fresh Graduate that picked a car for HP , 3yrs + 2yrs moving Lagos upandan?

Let’s not forget I’m referring to snrman1, asking about HP
I will advise he picks a job of 50k and get job experience / growth than to drive HP for 3years.
Work 3years, do certifications/exams and jappa. Cause abroad will value your years of experience.

The only people that should be driving are people that
1. Just lost their job and needs to feed and clean up before next job or business.
2. Fresh graduate seriously applying for jobs but tired of seating at home
3. car owners who need extra source of income. Side hustle.

If you like keep adding to your fleets of cars every December with the rate of inflation , increase in car parts and shitty fare by bolt, Na same hand to mouth.

Make una no allow people crucify me for here ooh

YeyeGbami:


In summary

donfortune48:


Baba no buy any car below 2013 again oh!

Clearing of cars from year 2000 to 2013 are 100% same now.
So no need buying cars below 2013.

Glithronix:

Thank you, boss.
Na this kind soft motivation we need, abeg.
Felicity and other legends just dey go hard on person.
Much respect, sir.

Glithronix:

Boss, as I said, anyone wey want copy you must be from the same planet as you.
You wey if dem block your account today, you know your way around to build another one. Na you I go want copy? I'm on a long thing be that.
You even know how to do destination setting 4 times as against the 2 times given by bolt. I need to learn this ASAP. bolt self go dey fear you by now.
But surely, your knowledge in this hustle is motivating and encouraging which learning from you is a of a dream come true but your hoodlomism aspect dey fear person pikin.
Indriver no work with my spirit yet, I just abandoned it for now.
As per the car I'm protecting, boss you know say wetin you protect na him dey serve you for long. You own your ride, you no fit compare your own hustling target with mine as I am a rentee.
If na my ride, boss, I know wetin I go dey make on daily.
I drive carefully to keep the car in good state so as to serve me enough and the owner too to see it was not a mistake given it to me.
Don't forget, I had no prior bolt driving experience when I collected it - and you know what it must have taken the person to drop such ride to a newbie.
So, I know why I am being careful with the ride, boss.
Make una no vex say I'm not making enough as I am supposed to, make I dey grow gradually till I get there, abeg.
Much respect, chief hoodlum.
