So, at the end of each work week, you consumed 8000naira worth of food, 1000 naira airtime & 2GB worth of data (1200 naira), what account would you record it?
Felicity has given you a correct breakdown of how to calculate your earnings (Gross) & Net (income minus all expenditures incurred on the job).

I said as for me. Every other thing I spend on are things I still spend on when I'm not working. These things are just around N300 daily so I overlook them

Felicity001:
How about food(sweet mouth), data, call card and other monies spent during the course of duty nko? Are they not supposed to be subtracted from gross earning?

Your real Net= Gross- (Commission + fuel + +airtime(data + call) + food + miscellaneous)

Miscelleneous: can include, gauging of your tires, buying of wiper, money given to beggars, securities, police, area boys, lasma, among others.

At the end of every week I carry out a rough calculation of all of these after paying my weekly rent to know how much I made for the week. But I stopped this like a month ago after my partner saw my record booklet inside my pegean hole that my weekly net was about 20k-30k alternatively, 2weeks after guy man called for increase in rent me I just dropped his car for am straight no time.

This is a car I drove for straight 2-3months without him carrying out a single expenses on the car oh apart from buying 1 tire. Some partners can be very funny shall.

I don't calculate minor expenses like data and call credit. They're insignificant.
I can't remember the last time I guaged my tyres, so it's not a regular thing.
Food seriously? bros that one no follow cuz even days wey you no work you still dey chop

BAZ001:
net no be wetin u take home or net na wetin u see on your dashboard after app deduction?
Pls house what’s the definition of net with 5k fuel ?
1. Is it App Net (Net showing on Dashboard after App deduction )
or
2. Money in your pocket (after you minus fuel money from dashboard net )
Like I ve been saying what I see on dashboard is never in my account. It’s better for me to know how much I’m taking home as profit, rather than dashboard

As for me, I use 3 terms to define my earnings
1. Gross income - Total money made
2. Net income - Total money minus app commissions
3. Profit - Total money minus commission and fuel

Some guys are just pvssies. Got a very good trip, called rider and proceeded to destination, a fuel station.

On arrival, I called rider and she told me she was coming out. As she was about entering the vehicle, she saw one dunce she knew buying fuel. The guy came down and they exchanged pleasantries. Asked where she was going and she told him. Na so the guy offer to drop her o. The lady was even telling him she has ordered a ride already only for this dunce to tell her to cancel that afterall the ride is yet to start.

Na so rider con tell me say sorry o, she will have to cancel. The thing pain me enter body. Now I'm here at the filling station waiting for another trip wey no gree come

I just dey vex

I can relate bro. That was how I picked one girl from agungi going to egbeda, 10 mins drive to my house I just praised God. From our conversation I realized she came to visit her bf and they had a misunderstanding that's why she left.
When we were about to climb ikoyi link bridge her bf called her apologizing, next thing I heard have you gone far? The girl didn't know anywhere and asked me "where are we pls"
Me: We're about to climb third mainland bridge

That was how I didn't lose my destination trip that day lol

Dear Copilots I need your sincere advice.

I lost my contract bank job 2 and half years ago, though I was earning less than 80k.

6 months later I was able to gather funds, personal savings, Loans from family and friends (Non interest) and I got a Matrix 04, I have since paid back all these loans.

I have been driving on uber/bolt for 2 years and its wonderful. I net above 100k in a month when I work fully, but the fatigue and stress has been taking a toll on my health since last year( I started looing weight and now I'm down some other ailments, but getting better) I started active driving 2 years ago, may be im not the strong type tho.

Recently I got a job offer of a little above 100k(net) outside lagos(Ilesa, i am from the area also) which means I have to relocate. It comes with an accommodation.

My car is in perfect condition but I don't have the will to continue this ehailing job.
Pls is it a good advice to take up the offer or I just continue my ehailing job, may be just weekend hustle?

Note: The job is just a managerial job and not too much stress in it.

Take the job and keep your car in good condition as plan B

hello house. I've been a follower of the group for some time now and I've learnt a lot from here .

I drive for bolt in Benin city and I make some cool Cash. People often say there's more money driving in lagos. how true is that

below is a screenshot of my dashboard for the past three months and I don't drive full time

Just say you wan show off to we wey be novice
You're doing well bro, stay in your comfort zone and continue making your cool raba. It's better than coming to lagos where you're not familiar with and start making money for hoodlums in uniform

pope191:
There's no such thing as full time, what you have is grace and day... in the morning, dia is rush and during noon u may choose to take 5 hours break, come back Ard 5 to 10pm and hit hard than someone that have been out dia all day. Time set to work and positioning matter...


With ur dashboard, look at deedee44 as example my ink is failing me, so I'll stop here

Hmmm God that did kanuisagoat own can still do mine too

pope191:
u no go kee urself, at least u better pass P Diddy

Motivate me with 100k challenge na

donfortune48:
Please comrades.
Am I lazy with this my own dashboard or useless?

Useless for where, what will you now call this one

Npala:
Having your own car and still driving around lagos everyday of the week, grossing above 500k monthly, in my own opinion is suicidal.

Even if you are building a new house from your earnings and need to make a minimum amount daily, body no be wood. You will have more downtime than the average driver.

BIG THANKS to the car owners that will meet their target by 3pm and head home so that the drivers on rental can pay their partners.

Hahaha I just read this paragraph well well. Funny bro

He's not planning to do it for forever. He said he's hanging his booth by December which means it's for a limited time only. I can only envy him and wish I had that strength/tactics/luck

The Rider sef know say I try, immediately I said I can't go any further she say okay that's fine, I will drop here, thank you. I don't think any other driver has carried her that far inside without complaining.

Good day house.My ac only chills when I’m moving fast and blows hot air in traffic. Took the car to a tech to check if i’m low on gas or probably a leakage. The guy poured water on my compressor and it started boiling. He said my compressor is bad. The ac chills at night tho. Has anyone experienced this Biko. Big daddy compressor is abt 60k

It means your compressor has thrown in the towel. E don tire

Another Emailing company joing the market tomorrow

Beakmeride

Promised 5k bonus after completing first 5 rides.

Check @beakmeapp on Instagram for full gist.

Market is about to be saturated meaning price completion .....Great for riders, fair for drivers .

They've not started and they said drivers already make 25k daily on their app. They're confusing somebody

Ernesttoby30:
Good day all. Please i really need your advice. I want to take a loan from my friend with interest to buy a car for transportation business. The loan is almost ready.

But the problem now is that I'm confused between buying a car for Uber business or buying Sienna car for inter state transportation. I've been having sleepless night these few days because of this. I want to drive it myself.

Please if you are into transport business or have any idea on transportation business, please kindly advise me. Thanks in anticipation

If I were you I would get a car for uber business. You can still do interstate with it (park or offline) so that's like killing 2 birds with a stone

godsonn97:
Good evening guys, I have some challenges registering with Bolt. I googled the location of their office and it took me to their LekkiOffice. Unfortunately I didn't meet them there.

Pls who knows another bolt office location in Lagos? Thanks

The last known address is Professor Gabriel Olusanya St, you will enter from petrocam. Ignore if that's where you went to initially

Cooladex:
The job isn't meant to be done for soo long. Respect to the drivers on ehailing for the last 3 years. Its almost my 2 years and I developed some serious ailments. Moving onto greater things now sha.
#Peace

Is it an experience you can share? So others can learn to prevent it if possible. Thanks

TUBLEZ:
My ac cools so well in the morning and at night but small sun like dis it won't cool , I hv been wondering what could be the cause....my ogas in the house

When you're in the sun and your AC is not cooling as it should, rev the car for like 10 secs. If it cools then your compressor is probably weak and not pumping well.

Thats the only one I know.. from my own experience

BAZ001:
So you think in all my active years of driving I wouldn’t have experienced such a rider or even was scenario ? Trust me I have met 99% of different manner of riders in Lagos.
I will even say the hustle is better now with ride request. Request full everywhere during the week and anytime of the day, there was a Thursday I was getting request back to back like weekends.
There is no time I put on Uber and bolt that I won’t get request in 10mins unlike before that you wait. Even d last time I went to ikorodu I got two request back to Lagos before I drop off rider.
I didn’t drive this week doesn’t mean I have less experience.

Ikorodu people no dey like hear this thing wey you talk o hahaha. You mean ikorodu is not in lagos?

kanuisagoat:
She still would not have been able to do anything. Most of those their staff no get any level

She would have done something. Don't try messing with bolt staff

Blackbishop:
Baba make we just muve cuz the tori no go finish. In fact as a guy if we die and reach heaven dem no suppose judge again, first hell was been born in Naija 2nd reason na bcuz we marry naija woman which is another hell in hell. So baba God just pity us we don double suffer make we just enter heaven and relax abeg na beg I beg in advance.

This is one cloth you shouldn't have spread outside bro. Some mumu that enjoy hitting below the belt will someday use it against you.

emmancecute:
I've picked a rider with 1.0 ratings before, funny thing is, ride was very smooth with good convo. No issues at all.

Same with this one too, I almost cancelled. But it was a very smooth ride and I began to wonder how she managed to get that bad rating

The lowest rating I've seen.
Very biased bolt

Olagadget:
Good evening my bosses!

Chazleeray:

After 2months of waiting, i finally got my temporary license yesterday (10th of March) and surprisingly (11th of March) is my birthday. Today i celebrate myself and my wonderful twins sister, Cheer's to our new age, God bless us all.

Happy birthday. God bless

[quote author=Monacokyle post=99773525][/quote]I've not driven this car before but I heard it consumes fuel

Pearl1910:
No Sir, if u didn't complete the trip, they can't rate u. I will never go back to a trip I have cancelled,

Except if we agree to run it offline
