Thanks for these business nuggets and tuts of wisdom. We appreciate.

You made of mention of you NEVER venturing into hire purchase for your cars again. It came as a shock to me, as i would have thought that hire purchase is the perfect model for this business as it demands more commitment from the driver partner and absolves you of repair hassle, which is a big relief for me.

Could you be kind enough to highlight the advantages Rental has over Hire Purchase, from your wealth of experience?

Thanks bro

Boss he's not a partner driver, and what he's saying is so right, driving drains mentally... I'm not saying one shouldn't work hard, but it's necessary to watch your health, especially with the kind of traffic we have lately. I only drove 4 days last week and still achieve sometin reasonable, I think that's enough for me. It's kind of crazy I may go 6 days dis week, these people keep enticing me with bonus, what can a man do? The bonus don't come everyday

other points to note
choice of car- 1.6 or max 1.8 litres engine capacity will save operator fuel cost. good Nigeria use corolla can be gotten for 1.2m vs 1.8m on direct tokumbo.
Driver selection- a very key success factor. experience shows that drivers who were once mechanics or involved in repairs manage vehicle better. they easily diagnose faults and are not cheated by mechanics. Ensure that driver you intend to engage does not have large family else your delivery will end up for family upkeep. So many good driver start to default as family and responsibility increases. Ensure you do not engage drunk or addicts otherwise delivery will be used to fund addiction.

Good Health can never be under rated. Recently people have been complaining about my look and how lean I’ve been become. Recall that fews week ago I did a vehicle delivery for my friend in Abeokuta, when he saw he me, first thing he asked me was ‘guy shey you sick’? I had to cancel my plan of stopping at my moms place before coming back to Lagos. That woman will ground me

Two weeks ago that’s how I jam my mama for my sister’s place ....you know the rest.


Errm how far the babe matter, you don light am?

You've been in this business for years, are you not really putting in the work? Cuz I know you're not making close to 10 million naira per year.

Its only in Nigeria that foools will engage in fraud and come online to discuss it.

Inferiority complex coupled with poverty syndrome has really eaten deep into the brain cranial vortex of most drivers on this thread.

Thats the reason why someone will drive around Lagos like a mad man without a mission a life, make peanuts while passing through hell on Lagos roads and then come online to flaunt the peanuts he made as if he is one commando. O Yes... What you are making is peanuts.

Don't flare up yet. Go to LinkedIn and see what small boys you are far older than are achieving with their lives. You will see a small boy of 20 years taking home 10 million per annum as a software developer with Qiuckteller or Paystack and will not come online to post his earnings. You will only know his earnings from company website and tax forms.

But a driver that earns less than 10 dollars daily as net on bolt will not let people hear word.

Same mentally rettarded drivers will come online to discuss how they are outsmarting bolt to beat "The Hours". Same thing the morrons think they just discovered is a format veterans in this racket have used as far back as 2016 to survive and earn more. Yet... None came online to discuss it. But just imagine what kids now come online to do.

If Bolt should wake up tomorrow and say that the hours will now be "during active trips" and no longer "idle online" hours, same nematodes will start screaming "Slave Master Slave Master Slave Master".

Intead of learning and taking corrections, the really Belligerent and Bellicose ones among them will soon open their stinking pugnacious bucal cavity and vituperate a plethora of disgusting vocal vermins.

This was same way Hushpuppi was engaging in fraud and had the effonterry to flaunt it online.

O Ye Black Man... When will thou have sense?

The Last Uber Driver who drove me said that Uber will soon upgrade Car Requirements to 2016 in Nigeria.
He said he has recently registered a 2018 car in preparation for this.
Pleae House, is this true?

peeps4u:
I hope the drivers consent to posting their names and pictures online?

Do we even know at times, it is unethical to post a private chat with someone online like that?

Have a blessed day.

My person long time. I will need this oil now. Someone will contact ur person here . He has been patronizing u but u didnt know i was the one that connected him to u .

This driver earn 21k from uber, he does more of Bolt.

I have already received his weekly rental of 27k, Sunday/night.

He is the first to pay his weekly rental.

When i compare the km driven on my tracker App, he does more KM than the one 85k earning is showing.

Doing uber biz is stressful but manageable if u hv the right car, u must be available and willing to source ur parts and give to ur mechanic , not just any mechanic.Ladipo market will be ur second home as buying direct from there reduces ur cost.These may apply if u are running fleet of cars . 2. Good drivers can never be taking for granted but never trust them as they are all there with u to make ends meet. Ur eyes should be opened and never take any flimsy excuse from them or else ur weekly rental will be played with . 3 . Never be afraid to fire any driver with excess baggage of long story. Use uber market place to source for ur drivers . Nairaland drivers , hummm. Just stay clear of them
4. Never joke with maintenance and using good oils. Depending on the oil , u can change at 7000miles upwards,right timing helps to avoid clogs in engine
5 .insurance is optional. U can use axamansard insurance as they are the rave in my own time
7. Tracker is very essential and inspect car monthly to checkmate driver . And most importantly most drivers will give u wrong address , find out by tracking ur car consistently every night to know car location. The address seen the first 2-3weeks is the drivers home , pls jot its down should incase u need it.
8. Its not a bad business, its good depending on how available u are to take care of ur biz but I believe u will learn fast as soon as u start .
9. Sound car is very very importanter . Tokunbo most preferred.

Exactly my brother, a driver told me one certain time that why they discourage other drivers from posting their dashboard is to make it look less lucrative for newbies, so they are discouraged to join(thereby increasing the number of drivers on the road, more competition)

toomush:
Best reply, those drivers would have probably moved onto better things, I dont know that some people are planning on driving for years. God forbid I do that to myself. I'm exiting soon

deedee44:
Are they complaining to you?

nwizu042:
Oga allow them to complain in peace.

jpworld:
They will attack and shut you up immediately.

Posting earnings will invite criminals, government spies, bla bla bla.

Gentlelife50 post earning of 28k to mislead the public. You want people to believe uber driving job is terrible, but you have been driving uber for more than 2 years 6months. You feed ur family with it, u pay house rent.

Nobody force anybody into uber, if u feel the job is bad quit and go use ur certificate to earn a living

AngryIgboDon:
To get 100k on bolt even before Covid 20was not realisable. Even if realisable, the car will suffer and die quickly. The max right now from my analysis is between 50-80 k gross on average. Thats with extra suffering and serious hard work due to hellish traffic. Remember, I said gross and not net. If drivers are doing offlines, I can't really analyse it because I don't have access to that data.

But For anybody to post figures of 100k in a week, fuel of at least 20 to 25 Thousand is needed to gross that. (Putting in mind scarcity of riders that makes you drive around and look for trips)[/b]

That leaves 75000.

75,000 minus bolt 20% will leave the money at 60,000.

You pay car owner (if on rentals) 25,000. That leaves the money at 35,000.

You pay at least 5k on tolls.That leaves the money at 30k.

I don't want to add other expenses like data, calls, car wash, police harassment levy, lastma levy if caught, food etc. That one is personal. Because should a wicked Lastma or Police catch you, you may vomit money you made in 2 weeks to them.

Let me not even enumerate the danger such amount poses to car. Because for you to gross that amount means you don't reject trips and virtually go everywhere. Which is a very very dangerous thing to do in this business.

If you think this analysis is a lie, how many drivers have made it in life driving Uber Bolt? Why are most drivers on rentals always broke and can't get by?

trump has a very solid support base from the people that actually matters in American Politics - THE WHITE SUPREMACISTS.


he will have a landslide victory in this election and will try to change the American constitution to accommodate his third term.

jaymejate:
That never too sharp

toomush:
If Government agencies or spies want information, I doubt if they will come to nairaland to look for it, all they have to do is take a trip on either platform and ask the driver lots of questions (riders do as alot of questions about the hustle, any of them could be a spy )

Or better still enter one of the numerous telegram/WhatsApp groups. Many drivers I have meet on the road don't even know that this thread exist.

I have been posting my earnings so that people like you will react, the other day someone jumped on oga gentlelife50 for posting he's dashboard

The screenshot below is for you, I made that during the sallah week ( offline not included )

Disclaimer: the earnings posted below was a one time thing ( since then I have been struggling to make half of that)
