desmondDessi:


Thanks Man. What would you advice.
The job I had was paying about 70k, Mondays to Fridays. 8am to 6pm. Is it worth it?

emmancecute:
gas leak from a pipe could look like smoke, calm down brother

Generally, it's low. It's kind of good that you had the weekend for yourself. Most jobs in Lagos deprive one of the weekend.
Be sure of the solution to the car. Estimate cost of repair. If you have access to loan, get it and fix the car to the best. You will get your money back. You will surely get your money back.

If the bugdet is high even with loan—I don't want to suggest selling it off to get another because expenses can gulp the money from the sale and end up with not enough money to buy another one. So don't sell it. Repair

which area are you base?

Compressor is not bad but the coil is burnt, I had same issue on Saturday. Relax your mind just take it to a good AC technician, they will bring out the compressor and fix it. You would have noticed the compressor bearings wobbling before.

desmondDessi:

I'm in Abuja

desmondDessi:

Noticed when I was driving home yesterday after he finished fixing it. I thought it was what he put, he said the thing will make it stop working and start again. Like fridge, forgotten the name.

desmondDessi:

I don't know how I said Friday, its actually Saturday.

Omo I'm just tired, now that I think bolt will help me sort out things especially time for myself. Air condition dey bring him own

jaymejate:

Don't beat yourself bro. Repair it. You will make your money.
Thank goodness it's your car. That's a big flex.
What if you are delivering to someone?
I envy you small o.

The Abuja market for ehailing is constricted. It's not as robust as that of Lagos. Infact, there's no place within the Abuja metropolis that can fetch you ₦10,000 on a single trip.
Meanwhile in Lagos, Berger to Awoyaya, you are already closing to 10k.

northbird:


Where in Abuja are you based?
The deed is done already .. In the absence of AC, if your work starts 8am. You can still pull in 3k before 8am. if you start by 5am doing drops NOT Bolt or Uber. Then pull another 1.5-2k between 6-8.pm. You carry four people heading back your way in the evening.

That way you can still make 100k apart from your salary. Then you rest on Sunday.

desmondDessi:
Guys I quit my job, my corolla AC was not working. Worked on the compressor through out yesterday, spent 32k. Today my first trip, AC stopped working. Smoke begins comot from car.

Right now, I'm broken. I don't want to regret quiting my job

@Jaymejeta just me in my normal look and laff mood. If you ask me tho, you are a soul and have right to your space, but I feel focus is better. You see that scam that calls everyone boss if you observe he barely have time to post again, I hope he is doing fine wherever he his now. He is a pure example of focus that careless about the noise or error at the market square.

I pipe low because of observation and when we air out, it feels like one don't want other people to survive. Nope! The sky is big enough for all bird to fly, but first you must learn the process of spreading your wings. I was reading SamuelTaiwo post the other day and I just laff. Like he put a car at D and slept off? going by all the post here, he no suppose be him, but reality struck. Time, process and focus can never be replaced. Unless in exceptional cases.

Best always boss

northbird:
If you are about to be blocked or blocked on Bolt and you are new on Indriver, and you are kind of overwhelmed by the price and all.

My advice is.

1. Calm down, have your own modus operandi and stick to it.
You must have areas where you are going to and areas you are not interested in. You don't need to bid for all rides.

Personally I don't go beyond V. I., worst case, phase 1 all that Chevron, vgc side Ajah and Co, is just laden with unnecessary traffic.

On the mainland, I can be shuttling within Maryland, Ogba, ikeja, Yaba and Unilag axis. and I still get to match up with someone who suffered to go to Ajah.
On Saturday, I didn't go beyond Yaba, bounced and skipped Island trips like kilode, and what I made on Indriver was quite substantial,... I mean very substantial, Funny thing is when I was going home, I wasn't tired, because I made sure I avoided trips that will keep me in traffic.

2. Positioning, this is one of the trade secrets, there are areas where trips are a sure banker.

3. Mental maths. Km vs time. You need to be able to cross match these two variables. In just 3 trips of around 5km each, you can hit more than someone that runs a long trip to the island under the same time.

desmondDessi:

I live in Lugbe. So you think I should not quit the job

I didn't know he is in Abuja.
What would you suggest?

I sincerely hope and pray it doesn't lead to regrets.

I don't want to sound judgmental, but I must say monthly salary regardless the amount is a security. You should have waited till you are sure you can bear loss without feeling it too much.

When we talk they don’t listen. Pearl1910 na you don make this guy quit his job. Better send him money for compressor.

Barbiturate:
Una push person...sotey him go quit job. Now motor dey get issue, una still dey tell am say him go make 100k if him do drop! God Abeg o!

"As good as a car may sound, it may still take money from you when you least expect" Pope 2022

Tokunbo car wey never complete 2 years, I don spend pieces on repairs!

Pearl1910 go come post his 600k monthly dashboard.

Nobody shares the losses/expenses behind those dashboard. How I fell for this scam still dey surprise me.
I saw 1m dashboard I couldn’t sleep till I jump enter e hailing. Thank God say I no quit my job.

And lastly I wish we will understand there's nothing new in this hustle again once you have a good car and master routes. The only prison left is your strength and time. Right now, gone are those days driver sleep for hours waiting for trips or keep positioning endlessly. Once you can do 5am to 11pm and don't drive yourself into unnecessary traffics. You will be fine when the day is said and done.

Download inDriver man, I’ve given up on them unless there’s 1.6x-1.9x surge and I only do destination trip until I can boost the driver score back up.

Pearl1910:


U scammed yourself for thinking u will not spend some money to keep your car in shape for the Hussle.
Ur story line don change from "u can't make 600k/month" to "there are expenses and loses" abi.
Thank God u didn't quite ur job, just continue your job and be available to give advise to newbies. It's still good we hear your experience too so they can make an informed decision.

Lol boss my storyline never change o. 600k monthly is what bolt themselves use to deceive the gullible.

Sooner or later reality will show up like this dude wey just quit his job.

I’ll keep preaching that this hustle is at best a side gig. Don’t go and piss on your boss’s head like BAZOO will say and jump into e-hailing full time.
