The ideal way is for drivers to pay rental on Day 1 of the week. And renew subsequently.

But most e-hailing cars are dead and nonsense.

For instance a driver pays rental and few days later, car develops an issue, its his loss..

All these car owners shouting #assurance, don't have #assured cars. Yes I said it. Your cars are dead. Quote me.

I will pay rental on day1 and renew subsequently for any tokunbo car in pristine condition.

But a Nigerian used car, previously driven on Uber/taxify, I will pass over.

Driver-partners, ensure to test the car like u are buying a car, before you pay #assurance.

Ask them why the previous driver dropped the car, even request for the ex-drivers number to ascertain what you are jumping into.

Most of these car-owners are liars. Quote me.

In, all, there are very few good men "car-owners, and partner-drivers alike"

P.S, I have ZERO tolerance for driver default.

So called bad drivers can fixed. Except those who are not bleeping willing to improve.

Late of 1 month or a few days?

My best driver paid today (even before uber and Taxify alert) the others will pay tomorrow. Late payment is Thursday and there's a penalty attached plus you have to start counting again from 0 - 8 weeks for free 1 week payment bonus.

And guys, there's a difference between an inexperienced driver and a bad one. An inexperienced driver makes genuine mistakes or doesn't meet up with his obligations due to naivety.
A bad driver will make 150,000 a week and still not deliver, a bad driver is undisciplined. A bad driver wants to cheat. We need these kind of guys out of the system. The inexperienced ones, with a little bit of understanding and patience from car owners, will eventually become good

Desperation to just get going doing something. Most drivers in that situation think they can manage and edge, as they do their work day after day. That was possible when everything was buoyant, when a driver could gross #30,000 cash in one working day
Not now, though. But still, most drivers are hopeful things will work out for them eventually

Despite the urgency to start doing something, if you do vehicle inspection, you are supposed to enlighten the car owner or make your observations about the car known upfront.

If you take a car that would affect your performance, except the driver has a great personality, believe me he would be labeled a bad driver and wouldn’t be able to defend himself because he never make known any observations before collecting the car keys.

If you observed anything during car inspection, make it known and have the car owner fixed it (if it can be fixed) before you sign Agreement and collecting car key. If you don’t make your observations known during car inspection and you now start giving stories when you’re supposed to deliver your weekly rental, I think that is a little too late.

I picked up one of those riders yesterday; Bamidele Eletu Way to Airport. Dude told me I was too slow, as we went through Lekki - Osborne Road. I kept quiet, I told myself I will show this man pepper today. In my mind I was just praying for 3rd Mainland bridge to be free.
Then we entered third mainland bridge, and to God be the glory, it was free.

I just shifted my pedal to 120km/hr, then moved to the lane closest to the sea. "Take it easy, take it easy" was what I was hearing from him. I didn't answer him. Shebi I'm slow ni


This is really funny .

I won't lie .

Bad human (Drivers, Fleet Managers & Car Owners) cannot be fixed especially if they see nothing wrong in there attitude and actions.

For us to have a good system, transparency is required.

Without transparency and openness, we will all be victims.

There is a thin line between inexperienced and bad?

If inexperienced (Car Owner or Driver) choose not to learn what it takes to be successful in this business, he or she would be termed “Bad”.

A greedy human (Car Owner or Driver) would think he/she is smart but greediness would ruin anyone in this business.

And preference for tokunbo is personal.

To see a Nigerian used Uber car in Good condition is like Ogunvic managing Dru3 fleet of cars. grin
