That I agree with you 100% .. Most partners are not hands on.. Most can't even maintain their own car ,let alone cars for uber.. A lot of these partners just want the driver to start money right away... And that why a lot of them give up or by stay by the fence...

Drivers have their own fault too .. First of all I maintain all my cars . The maintainence is 100% done by me either small or big .. So I had one driver ,that drives for me . The first few weeks things were ok and than out of no where he was constantly going to my mechanic.. It now became a situation that we were fixing the same issue over and over again.. So my mechanic called me and he Oga , can you give me permission to talk to the driver .. I said why , he said this your driver dey use this motor enter bad road too much .. He said even if na highlander self go get this issue coz the way the driver dey drive .. So he spoke to the driver . And I spoke to the driver, and the driver stated that uber blocked him . And for him to meet up ,he had to do taxify.. And he can't reject request other wise he will not meet.. So after that incident he has been doing ok .. And also he sign up for Ocar.
Another driver that I met here early Feb . I gave him the car in good condition. He test drove the car to make sure no issues at all . He came back happy and I introduced him to my mechanic.. My mechanic address his concerns and he fix them.. So first day on the Job, driver called and said somebody hit him . And that he will take the car to my mechanic. Since he is aware that I do 100% of repairs and maintenance.. I said no and he should drive the car home. When I looked at the car ,you can tell he was at fault.. So I told him he can go home and I will him later. It cost me 60k naira to fix the car , so driver started calling me and mechanic. He wanted to know when the car will be ready. I just ignored him and he called my mechanic tired. Until he finally got the picture.. I was so upset and angry . And he came back on nairaland looking for rental . I just kept shut and I figure whoever gives him car will regret it .. He was on nairaland for months looking for a car ..

My point is that we have to hold partners and drivers to a standard.. We can't just blame partners all the time . Drivers too need to be held accountable too .

Half bread is better than no bread. Just be patient and hopefully Ocar will sort themselves out.. At least they are shaking things up ...

Freshprince91:
Dokyoloye, the general term 'Oga' can be an hallmark of respect among contemporary Nigerians but its different with these Olosho girls especially with their tone .
You need to walk a mile in our shoes to understand what we go through .
One just ruined my day as i am typing this. When i got her request at Lekki , i put a call through to ask for destination and she flared up, so i tried to explain that I've been dodging VIO officers for sometime due to my broken tail light, that i have been extorted on this job enough, so i'd like to keep away from their troubles (12pm -3pm) even though i knew i will be at fault, if they apprehend me but ain't gat the money to buy a new brake light, she hissed throughout the call and later VGC.
Midway through our journey, i perceived some foul smell, i had to open the window for fresh air but the odour didn't go away, Damn!
When we got to ikate, i told her i need to pull over to check what's smelling, only for me to discover that this girlie don shit for body inside my chacha leather seats Ford Mondeo
It was nauseating and before i could utter a word, she vomited. I had to rush to get her water to clean up.
My car is messed up already and the only word she mutter was i will give you 500 naira to clean your car at a car wash.
I felt like slapping this skele and after i managed to take her to her destination, rudely, she said she does not have any money on her, that the person she came to see is not picking her calls .
She didn't even give me the pleasure of an apology. This was someone who lashed out at me for not putting on my AC before i drove to her street, hissed at me because my car charger didn't recognize her iPhone cord.
What would you do in that situation?

Cooladex:
And if you reciprocate by calling them madam. They flare up

Luxurydriverng:
Well I cant exactly give advice which of the vehicles to go for it all comes down to your personality, I personally prefer a feel of luxury especially interior and the Honda offers leather interior and a more executive feel.

Olahevan:
Check whatever is making your Vechile consume fuel. Maybe Catalyst or anything else.
V6 fuel consumption is not bad for a car that is yours

chillex8:
He is may be saying the truth. Especially if he bought a Dead car.
Don't ever believe what you see on the dashboard.
Myself, I netted over #217,000 on uber in one week last Christmas. Till date, I don't know how that money vanished.

Lexit:
Elders in the house please reason my case. I participated in the 6500 campaign by bolt on Friday/Saturday. I ended my 26th trip by 8.58 pm on Sat. I met all other requirements. Mins later I checked my app and saw the bonus added to my money. I was really happy. Fast forward to Sunday morning. I checked again, the bonus is no longer there. My trips also reduced by 1. All efforts to reach Bolt since then not working. All the messages I sent to them are not reflecting. Any way out?

Sopcla:
Bro just here for survey to know the regulated HP payment terms to feedback my company and I’m not the only staff doing survey, this thread is basically for Uber drivers so a lot of people here already have cars they are driving so i know interest will be low here, do you think it’s easy to buy a 2M tokunbo car and give it out on 2.5M HP, a lot of people are out there looking for this offer so I’m not here to look for drivers, in fact we already have over 50 potential drivers trying to have a grab, and Iv even gotten more than 20 calls from interested people who read my post on this thread

Sopcla:

He was on mufti, as my boss took one side of his car, I took d other and his statement from the tinted car was very irritating "Take my number and call, let's settle this", like! Who does that? Who are you? Oga come down from dis car jhoor, we keep blabbing, until I peep thro d back sit and saw his uniform... I just call my Oga to one side, Oga dis man is an army man o... He look at me with calm voice and soh? las las I have to handle the matter in a mature way and turn it to explanation for him to reason our plight and put himself in our position. My boss wasn't ready to talk to him again, he got angry and left, but I push on with the case, after 2 days, he send 10k.

Actually, when you don't like begging, you don't go beyond your boundary or do what you can't handle.
When you see a man who no get mind for debt, e no go do beyond his financial capacity.

tojahh:

We were on the queue in one of the UBA branch in my school and this guy just jump queue go front. Na so I buy the matter like Lasma o.

Babadee1900:
I think if I want to be fair on my car, I will only do Island trips, anything I make, I'm cool with it. Mainland trip will be filtered. If Bolt like they should block me, I will go and complete my uber onboarding.

Babadee1900:
Another ZEROED route

kodred:
Imagine you just run one stinky winky and the ac cold. Ride come in and rider is just 100m from you

Welcome to Tojahh Inc. where we have ‘chilled mess’ on the menu.

Babadee1900:
My right leg is killing me, chai. The traffic on the Island today was crazy. Looks like I will be needing massage everyday.

I used 5000 naira fuel to make 11160Net on Bolt and 2300Net on OCar. Total of 13460. Car Used: 2004 Ho da Accord.

PS: How do you politely tell a rider to keep quiet, she's trying to hold a conversation and I don't have interest.?

Prince3:
Thanks and please who else concurs with this ?

tojahh:
Sorry man. But next time once you sight them afar and no one is allowing you join the lane. Baba just continue straight there must be another route that leads to your house.

Abdomox:
Good day. Plese need advise on if 2007 Mazda 5 (Pix below) will be accepted as Uber or Bolt car. Thanks.

Lush100:
sir, it depends oh
if its back tyre that is flat, he may have to step out . you wouldn't need to tell him sef.
you may offer a shade for him if available otherwise two of you should come to an agreement.
things happen

ndubuis:
And you think riders cannot plant stuffs in your car? Let's assume that was a proper police check: You get down to open the trunk while leaving a rider in the car, rider is having a weapon or a banned substance, gets nervous knowing that the police may search him as well when they are done with the booth, drops the substance in the car, maybe on the driver's side. Police comes to search the car and finds what rider dropped. Rider denies knowing about it. Tell me who will be held? This scenario would have played out in real life. You should never let your guard down. Everyone is a suspect, police, rider, etc. Na naija we still dey oo.

ndubuis:
I will get out with the driver if that's what he wants. So long as he's polite about it. Some people here are not getting the point. I am not against going out to open my booth for security check, I have done that for police a couple of times before. Point is, I cannot leave strangers I met in less than a minute to remain in my car while I'm out, not when I have valuables there.

radautoworks:
I'm not sure if there wasn't some sarcasm here lol. Soon as they arrive I'm keeping aside 50 for NLers.

tojahh:
Served down. Too many ehailing driver hailing them already but I trust the Chinese.... They'll make up.

mrjaydee:
Really? I still dey wait for more than 3hrs
