I'll give you a tip concerning knowing your destination. Always ensure your GMAP is opened at all times, once you input the name of the street, road, close or drive you aren't familiar with on GMAP, it'll show you the location.

For instance, if you input Kusenla road, it'll let you know your destination is Lekki, or Olu Holloway in Ikoyi etc. That'll help you make your decision to embark or disembark on such trip.

SamuelTaiw0:


Yeah. I was supposed to do that but then my map was just malfunctioning yesterday. It kept restarting. I believe it was my phone. I should have asked them where they were going before I moved away from where I was parked.

ReadaDream:
I get your point bro. Not like I miss his trolling, my comment is just out if concern.

I mean he's not been on Nairaland since then, at least if he ignores this thread it's understandable but going awol. Well I hope he's ok.

Hmmm... I was not even been able to come on this thread for more than twice last week.

Last week was my first week driving and it was full of events, learning and adjustments.

I had car issues (my car is not a Tokunbo car) so I spent a large portion of time at the mechanic's place. Car is in good condition now. I also had several bashes in traffic because of my brakes. Brakes are in perfect condition now.

Last Monday, I used rida app because my bolt and Indriver were not yet active. That rida, their prices are too cheap. And pickup distances are too far. Imagine driving 1hr 30mins to pickup a 10mins trip and the app won't tell you 1hr 30mins to pick up it will tell you 10mins. It's when you open the map you will know. At like Ikeja are still better but still, it's shitty app, I had to ditch the it.

Tuesday I drove to bolt office at Lekki to rectify my bolt account. It was as if they won't open the account.

I found a way on Wednesday. Drove to VI and did short short trips. At a point, around 8pm I was tired and hungry, somehow, I had been doing card trips so no cash. I parked the car on Muri Okunola street. Trekked and look for GTB withdrew and ate indomie. Trekked back, was still tired feeling sleepy. I started the car it won't start. I just slept in it overnight. The next morning I discovered I had transmission on D not P after I turned off the engine, I put it on P and started engine, it responded at once. My tired was really tired the previous day.

Thursday and Friday, I didn't work. Car was at the mechanic's to fix brakes and some others. I was with them till late at night on the two days.

Yesterday, Saturday was when I now really drove but I got arrested by taskforce at Festac.

Left mechanic's shop around 1pm to start hustle.

First ride took me from Ojodu to Surulere, did many short trips within Surulere and then a trip to Festac.

Had to cough out 50k to have the car released at night. I had already made about 10k between 1pm when I left the mechanic's shop and around 5pm when I was arrested for using one way (ABC Transport Road on Festac) I didn't know that road was one way. ( Me that I've said I won't go on any trip that takes me to Festac. My plan was to drop the riders, go offline and find my way out of there ASAP)

I've realised nothing is in that Festac for me. Na wahala full there.

My partner paid 30k of it. I raised the rest. One Danfo bashed me again at obalende yesterday night.

For me, I see it as paying my dues on the road. I will continue and payback all the money I owe. I strictly need to limit the areas I visit to areas I'm familiar with. In all, I thank God.

I don't think there's anyone here doing the hustle that hasn't faced LASTMA or Taskforce. It's part of the Job.

Good day everyone,

Just wanted to share my own opinion about this hustle. I only work Saturday and Sunday and I must confess this hustle make sense to a large extent,I do net more than 50k for the 2days. One rider asked me how much can I give my car out on rentals,I said I can't, except if u re ready to pay me 100k per week,I can't imagine using the car everyday and u will pay me 3ok per week and still do use same money for maintenance.
Let ask ourselves we owner or even drivers, if u re to give ur car out,how much re u expecting.

Though I understand all this problem during the week,task force and other vampire that may take out of ur income,but to be sincere setting a target of 10k per day is very simple and easy to achieve.

I took the car on HP September 2020 and was able to pay the 2m around July 2021, after then I bought a land of 400k in d bush of agbowa to be precise and right now I can boost of 1m plus savings and I targeted 1.5m by December ending, though doubt if I can achieve that,bcs this year I did naming ceremony and I spent 200k plus.

Note I work with Lagos state but my salary is nothing to be sincere but just concerned about the future of the work,the money I spend per week on food is more than my salary in a month,so don't even mention my salary as an added advantage.

In conclusion,this hustle can still go a long way for a serious minded person,cut unnecessary spending and be focused,thou I still believe God is on my side,bcs hummmm a day out there can make u run into total Lost,but mind u life itself is full of risk.

desmondDessi:


Those two days you work. Daily how much fuel do you use?

abefeabebi:


Don't forget I said net not gross, my gross was 90k, for 50k gross on Sunday I use like 6k fuel and Saturday Even with 6k fuel I gros like 40k. Plus and minus fuel and commission I will have like 50k left,mind u indriver make the net higher

Blackbishop:


I thought dru23 was the moderator in disguise?

Conner44:


Dru23 is okay. Stop worrying about him. Whenever he’s ready to start engaging guys here he will.

Conner44:


I was expecting to see my prik today

I know you’re a well known regular commenter here lol

But wait first let me ask, why are you like this? Why do you feel you can just come and start laying false accusations against people anyhow? What do you plan to achieve or accomplish?

What did cheerfulgiver do to you? Did he steal your wife?

Your case is not only sad but very funny
