I don’t care how long or how much a driver makes. How many times do you want me to repeat myself.
My own narrative is my drivers will be on a 70/30 EARN AS YOU GO and not some current market pricing weekly block payment, that way everyone is on checkmate.

Yes I am entitled to protect my investment and if you see it as an obsession so be it. I did not come to beg money from you.
When you Nigerians don’t have any sensible way to argue your case, you start the name calling....greedy and envious hahahahaha, same archaic emotional blackmail you id#ots throw around. Same way Nigerian girls call you broke ass stingy nig#a when they are not able to milk you, does that sound familiar to you now.

Now run and go get your 1m ready.

Now you sound stewpeed. You can blame your ancestors all you want, whether you like it or not, you're a Nigerian. Get it down your thin spine

GAZZUZZ:
I just remembered a case of a fraudulent driver, he signed up for an impossible target,
and guess what he did? He wakes up 5am, drives till 10pm and hands over the keys to his unemployed friend who drives from 10pm- 5am and pays a daily fee to him for use of the vehicle. Basically car never stopped working.

driver paid weekly payments with ease, owner was happy until........



You can fill in the blanks.

Car became unhappy

jpworld:
I thought your screen shot would have say, 5k in 14hours.

With 17k in 14hours you can still pay 50k. If you remove the amount of wait time, I see no stress in this job.

Will you wish it for your (unborn) children then? Let them make cool cash without stress

Ifeanyimark:
What if the driver does more of offline trips? And why will u and ogunvic ask a partner to collect a HP car from a driver? That aint fair

They did the same thing to me despite having spoken on the phone with me and even met me with the owner and discussed how to "put me through". He kept disturbing my ex-partner to give him the car while it was still in my care. Big boss didn't give him anyway so i just looked away

Riders can only rate you if you start the trip, so if you just cancelled then your poor rating is definitely not from that particular rider

lekanlaniyan:
Good day all, I was in the filling station from 3am to 7:30am before I could buy fuel.

I got a request around 8:30am( sleep still dey eye).

I went to pick the rider going to Airport from Katampe extension estate(Abuja). The cost was #3,000.00. I humbly Begged we do the trip offline and we bargained for #4,500.00.

I explained y we should do it offline. 1. I can't pick a rider from airport. 2. The fee is too small 3. The stress of sleeping in the filling station to buy fuel.

She agreed and we cancelled the trip. When I check my rating, she gave me 3 star .


Always pray to meet riders with good heart.

entparrot:
Whatever GAZZUZZ want to charge for talking to clients on the phone is not my problem.

I only gave advise that work for me regarding air condition.

I have once called GAZZUZZ regarding a problem, all he told me is 10k diagnosis, I declined and check with the other mechanic, and that work for me, and much cheaper to compare what he is charging.

We all know that ipekere and plantain chips are the same but we choose to pay more for plantain chips because of the packaging. It's a matter of choice

Crystal clear right from the start

Carshopper:
I like that u seeing it clear now ..

Hmmm you only know what you know, what you don't, you don't

Carshopper:
It's good if u have conquered .. Let me borrow your own words 'I shouldn't drive a month before I know what is obtainable, cus it's already conquered'

Carshopper:
We have done it over n over... we don't need to come here n make noise. And I don't need to show the driver what is obtainable

At last you got my point, driver is not asking you to show him what is obtainable. Just give him your terms & conditions and if he agrees he takes the job. But driving for few days to duduce what is obtainable in a month is just.. laughable

Lol whatever you think sir, but how can you be scared of what you've already conquered

Carshopper:
Lol... that driving within lagos is scary for u

Hmmm then work smart for a month first and show your driver what is obtainable. It's always easier said than done

Carshopper:
You are not supposed to drive all the time ... working smart doesn't mean driving all the time ... it means taking advantage of peak times and not driving up and down like kabu kabu

From where experience is gotten

Carshopper:
Experience from?

ndizzle:
From the samples on display, its safe to say Uber is more rider friendly than driver while taxify is more driver friendly than rider.
The taxify pickup location my have an unseen boost. U never can tell.

Wait till you have an issue with your fare, that's when you will know your true friend. From experience, one will abandon you while one will be there for you

You cannot drive in your spare time when your energy level is green and use it to determine what is consistently obtainable.

Carshopper:
I still maintain it .. Fleet managers don't have to drive on the system .. Gazzuz drove to know what is OBTAINABLE

Don't argue blindly with carshopper ... I manage with proven facts ... 2years running (one vehicle break down, 4 still on point, same Driver for the past 1year)

I manage with facts ...

To begin with, it's N60/km and not N55
Then where did u hide the N200 base fare and N11/min.
Using your 100km case study, some assumptions must be included so the calculation should look like...
60*100 = 6000
11*300 = 3300 (assuming it takes 5 hrs to complete 100km)
200*7 = 1400 (assuming it takes 7 trips to cover 100km)
Therefore gross = 10700
Net = gross - fuel (in the absence of other expenses)
.: net = (0.75 * 10700) - 2100 = 5925
Still a very low return on investment IMO

abilityC:
Guys im trying to figure profitability or not please help me out.
55naira per Km
Car counsumes 14L per 100km
assuming fuel price is at 150

Hence 14 * 150 = 2100 (Fuel cost)
55 * 100 = 5500 (Gross earnings)
0.25 * 5500 = 1375 (Uber commission)

2100 + 1375 = 3475 (Assumed total cost)

5500-3475 = 2025 (Profit or assumed Net Earnings)
Does that mean to get 20,250 Naira profit i need to drive 1000 KM?

GAZZUZZ:
I neva forgive you, face ur lane.

Oh! I see. Thanks

OFFIC3R:
Thanks to Oga Carshopper for the help & effort put in to land my Rio, thanks to Oga Gazzuzz for his touches on the ride to make it Uber ready, thanks to madam Taiwo for my insurance cover! Now my Rio is good to go. Flying for road with confidence. Very soon I go dey follow Oga them dey meet up targets

Well.. that's the hardest part of the puzzle

GAZZUZZ:
the guy DE free style, I do it all the time,
I don't make any money, but I kill boredom.

I could pick you up in an LX570 if you lucky

You are a part-time uber driver? That's weird, u be big boss sir.. the type that plays golf to kill boredom

slamstanlee:
noo i did that with my uncle's golf 3 back den

Lol i see

slamstanlee:
i love driving manual on personal travel/trips... Not for these jagajaga road on uber.

Meanwhile if you can't drive manual strick, don't even think about Ferrari, Lamborghini and the likes... Na their manual plenty pass and naim sweet to drive.... Nitro, turbo, roarrrrr!

Hmmm experience from car race game?

ogunvic41:
Any PROFESSIONAL driver that cant drive Manual transmission is the lazy type... I dislike AUTO.

That's not my point sir, I actually meant the extra stress that goes with manual. You body complains quicker than when driving auto. There shd be a little compensation for that
Besides.. in my driving history of about 15 years, 80% of the vehicles I've driven so far are manual

Carshopper:
Your mates dey do 50k ooo

They are not my mate ooo, they are my SENIORS. I know my limit

Carshopper:
Let me try my luck again ...

2005 Peugeot 407 (lion) Manual Drive

Weekly rental 38k

Shared Maintenance / repairs

Manual for 38k plus shared maintenance/repairs?

timifakay:
Safe place as defined by the driver or the passenger?
Why didn't he take her back to the pick up location?
Would he have done the same thing to a passenger whom he's sure could overpower him in a fight?

He is suing after breaching contract, taking to an unknown location (his house) against her will - after which she removed key from ignition, touching her without her consent - after which she used the pepper spray on him.
As much as I pity the guy, he took too many wrong moves.

IMO, you're not a driver, and if you are then you don't drive at night. You need to be in the guy's shoes to understand the difficult decisions he made

Romeo3:
There are many lies being peddeled on this thread.

Ask yourself why a guy who works night and day, and who was paying 55k weekly will just drive a car into water. Does that make sense?

There will be a day the truth will be revealed. For now, let everyone believe what they want to.

Maybe he dozed off, nature is a b*tch

Coolbenzino:
My brother I understand how you feel, sorry about all this. But I will advise you quit your job and drive your car yourself if it is that important to you. Besides you didn't consult us before venturing into this business. I expect to see scores of weekly incomes here to motivate other driver partners not your sorry ass. Sorry though but some of us quited our jobs to do this. Do same that's my advise otherwise take your sorry ass some where and stop consuming my data.

Quietly going through the comments makes much more sense sometimes. Don't worry if you don't have anything positive to contribute nairaland won't ban you for just reading others' great contributions instead of forcing yourself to post rubbish.

Okay, but have you ever carried a witch or wizard that will just for no reasonable reason decide to start downloading because it's free (awoof)

Daveonoja:
Ladies be like whao are you kidding me? In nigeria, is it really working? Lol the extra tips and freebees i'hav gotten because of the wifi really is more than enuf to pay for the data for a month....so practically the the free wifi definitly would pay for data by itself

Monthly. That's much compared to my 4k. You'll make more money though

Daveonoja:

As in... You can NEVER be wrong?

ogunvic41:
Smiles . I always know what am saying, I don't talk rubbish... I reserve my comments

Setting destination doesn't guarantee a long trip, and acceptance rate has nothing to do with trip distance as well, to target when movement is high towards a certain direction can work to an extent but overall it's down to luck

ogunvic41:
Destination trips, target when the movement is towards a certain direction and your acceptance rate....
