Hmmmm, thank God for you.
Me I am always fortunately fortunate, maybe because I am always at alert and on full time Ac.
Last one was two days ago, was descending from TMB towards Ikoyi exit there was traffic. They maintained the two lane I did like I was going straight and bullied one car to join the lane and was about climbing only to see lasma men plenty there.
One immediately jump in front of my car with that their chuku chuku I moved faster and he ran away because he thought I was gonna hit him, I now did zig zag from one lane to the other and they gave up. For my mind chaii, na so I for enter am. Wetin person eye dey see no be small

I did exactly this at that same spot, traffic was moving slower so there was no way I could have escaped so immediately I noticed one lastma guy recording my car with his phone and the other went to the middle Lane I just pulled back to the main express and went to pass onikan. You need to see the disappointing expression on the face of the one that was recording, in his mind.. Eran lo

joetem:
Hellooo, is this biz still profitable, I intend to drive myself, pls help advise ooo.
By the way, where is ogunvic?

You must have read through the early pages for you to know about ogunvic and you must have read through the latest ones to know he's no longer active here. It's highly unlikely that you will skip just the few pages containing the last days of ogunvic on this thread so come out clean. Are you a CID? SARS? EFCC? VIGILANTE? or a Victim looking for revenge

By the way, the business is still profitable.. depends on your definition of "profitable"

GAZZUZZ:
Let's do quick business, when you find it i give you 1m for it.

OmoOshodi:

dru23:
If you can rise around 1.3m ,buy a tokunbo 04 to 05 civic ...since you are the owner, you will enjoy it and save money on fuel. Do regular oil change with full synethic.... Take care of it and it will serve you well...

Ps. My civic is driven by a lady on the uber platform ... she loves it and she tells me the car the swim for water during raining season...

Bros this is the 1 millionth time you're saying this we haff hear

timilehing:
how many of 2011 Corolla do we have on Uber? Stop comparing those 03-07 cars to 2010 & above models. They were made of different things entirely

Mention a Toyota car that is not durable

timilehing:
Being driving it occasionally since 2017. Bought it outrightly last month

Drive it consistently for a year before you compare it with Corolla and camry that are used for Uber without major complaints

GAZZUZZ:
This @ 40mpg can attempt it in traffic conditions

This one is hybrid na

mrjaydee:
P.S Corrolla is the best car for this job.. forget about the hype.. the car is a LEGEND!

A Corolla with 1k fuel will take you from ikeja to sangoteado to and fro ..( even tho it's not advisable cos you might end up stressing the fuel pump) but which other brand can do that?

No, mba, rara I no gree. Even Yaris will hardly do that

dru23:
Before going into uber ..optima 07 was my first choice, until I was discourage not to use it.. I was new into the business at that time .... The optima looked more study and cooperate looking

I don't understand pls

timilehing:
I use Kia Optima 2011 & I can tell you both Corolla and Camry of the same year can not stand beside it either in luxury or performance

How long have you been using it? Use it for a year at least before you conclude

kingscare1:
Ok Boss.
Can I be your friend? Guard me so that when I start uber work full-time, we go dey shutdown bars together.
I based in lekki n am working at a German Company that sales business cars and trucks now.

Start first

tojahh:
I think its the other way... You should hustle hard so you don't become a driver to people smooching another Man's wife.

� savagery
By the way na money be Koko, if I make more money being a driver than the banker that smooches someone's wife in my car then I'll choose driving over and over again

NYCnextStop:
na normal thing my guy so long as they no do the do inside the car

I’ve lost count of people kissing and smooching in my car

The last one na even between married woman and the ex (got to know from their convo)

My guy hustle hard o make dem no go dey smooch ur wife inside Uber

Wife that will be smooched will be smooched whether husband hustle hard or not

jpworld:
You are just the most stupid person, I have seen in this forum, everybody congratulate the guy even eherbal shows maturity.

But envy won't allow you, now you're here talking about L200, you have set up nothing. The money you use to buy L300 will buy you a corolla clean one.

Or you don't want to own corolla. Continue deceiving yourself. Just don't like stupid people.

Don't be biased, I don't support any of them but I noticed when jesusson threw the first punch you chose to look away

Tyche:
When you have kids, it will become normal to you.

You took this straight out of my mouth, my second boy doesn't sit, the moment he enters the car he stands on the back seat with his dirty shoes. Wetin I go do, I don shout tire but the boy dey claim say na him papa property

[quote author=MoonlightDrive post=81905905][/quote]I only say thanks after a long cash trip or if a rider tips me

tojahh:
As school resumes. I got an offline to drop 3kids that lives in my compound off their school and back. 7:30/4pm.
Parents say they'd pay 40k monthly. But deal doesn't sound well with me for the following reason.

1. It will disturb my 5am morning runs.
2. What about when I'm not closed to their vicinity after close hour?
3. The mum said she'll go with them a few days because one of the kid is still very young. (1/5mnths). This means I'll bring her back before going my way.
4. The mum might want to stop stop and buy buy on the way as we journey to/from school.
5. 40k is not a big pay for such duty because the children school bus, they were paying 68k per child when it was just two of the kids in the school tho.
6. Uber/Bolt distance for the trip is 800. Hence to and fro for one month is 32k.


Now I don't know how to handle this. I haven't responded to their deal yet. Told them I'll get back to them.
How una see am? Because like this.... Local man cannot can.

Don't take the deal, it will disorganize you and affect your online earnings massively plus you'll burn more fuel driving empty to pick them up. Overall this type of commitment will frustrate you in the end except the location of their school is a hot spot

MoonlightDrive:
When you don't joke with your 5 stars, such little details do count!

Look guys riders, giving out this money is not easy on their part, so let us try to go the extra mile to give them that 5 star treatment.

Who will rate you low will rate you low no matter how much you please them, you heard someone here who rider told she rates all drivers 3 stars.

What money are they giving out that is not easy? The token we are collecting compared to the service we are rendering that is not easy. You should know how much they were paying for the same services before arrival of ehailing

Cooladex:
I don't know if this is called laziness or tiredness . I set out like 11am this
mrng to find requests(I stay around ilupeju) and for more than one hour no gbagaun. I just drove inside spar ilupeju, got myself a nice meal and headed home.

It may be tiredness if it's just a one off, but if it happens repeatedly it is the other one

Ogbunigwe2018:
If partner-drivers are advising car owners against investing, how do drivers intend to stay in business

It's a selfless advice, drivers should not be in business to the detriment of car owners

tol8u:
Lmao- it wasn’t me - but I go like run this run ooo- I drive a Civic - Iyana Oworo to toll gate lets up the stake to 50k �

Your Civic will certainly get injured if you try to match a Corolla

Crvrider:
Haven't experienced any of that with my car. Only, radu recommended it after the diagnostics. Why it was recommended I really don't know but I think its for a good reason.

Okay

Crvrider:
Suspensions (linkages, bushings..)
Fuel tank servicing
Speed sensors
....

Is it vomiting? That's the ailment mine is suffering from

dapotemi:
But it's no scam. Took me 5 days to do 15 trips due to busy schedule and now am no longer motivated. I did jus two trip today, two long trip and I jus go rest, moral dey low. So wetin be d solution nah.

Forget this week's bonus and be hopeful for next week's

dapotemi:
Abeg o, I don do 16 trips on Uber and yet no 3%.
I don message them dis morning and yet no response. Wetin dey happen? Had no issue on all my 16 trips. All on 5 star.

It's not a matter of low rating, it's a matter of high number of short trips

QuitNotice:
Hmmmmmmmn, you don turn me on like dis. How you take de do am? Was on that before, but had to drop it to 10k, which i still struggle to meet on some days. Tell me something, bro, what's your definition of a full day?

northbird:
Oga DeeDee, pls wats ur definition of a full day as regards time frames. 5am - 5pm 6am- 6pm.or till you hit 15k

5am till I net 15k, it's usually around 12 hours

QuitNotice:
Are you still netting 15k, bro?

Yes the last time I did full day.. 3 weeks ago. More of offline trips since then

fabiano09:
how much is spent on fuel and toll in that amount ? or that's your profit ? Cuz me I net like 15k too daily and I use only uber ,fuel takes about 5k so profit of 10k

4k on fuel, I don't pay attention to tolls. The idea is to have 10k profit after expenses too that's why I set 15k net as my target

ofime123:
I hope uber will not tell me nonsense again today have been on a trip now for two hours. I pick the man from kaffi street to luth and he said I should wait I waited for 15 minute he came out said we should go. then we got to ojuelegba he said we should go back to luth second wait now going to 2 hours.i just hope uber will not come and speak grammar for me today again.

Tell your riders to always update destination whenever they're going somewhere else
