Thanks bro...you think it's not possible! well that's how you see it!
The problem most pilot have is them been desperate to drive with any prize/condition given to them by partners. At the same time partners also want to make money while most of them want quick money to buy another car withing a short period which I see it as a long term relationship business between the two parties pilots/partners but I blame no one but the app companies who give false hope of returns to partners... everything is business! This i Am telling you will only be understood by the experienced pilots, sometime pilots gain but brother i tell you he/she's gain is saved to keep the car in good shape except for the greedy pilots who careless! I have had one or two experience with partners but all i see is that all they talk about is their money, forgotten the risk and bad side of the business which pilots face everyday. I work hard the best way i can to please my partners but they refused to listen to we pilots advise better still they listen to their friends who tell them the business is rosy and their pilots are paying them regularly while pilots are different from one another and it's the pressure some have from partners that makes them work to the extreme tirelessly in order to meet up the demands and in the end they end up having accidents and so much more. Brother there are partners out there who would like to give out their good cars at that price to a good trust worthy pilots or even less (don't be surprised) but lies have filled the air about pilots some partners are also desperate about money and some listen outside the box.
for now the business competition is not what it used be anymore. I believe you know all these and i hope you understand my few reasons and for my kind, I don't work under pressure because life is very important to and when a pilot dies he/she is gone while insurance repairs the car and it's back on the road with this pilots will want to be safe at all times that's the reason why pressure given by partners to their pilots leads to pilots dropping their cars... most pilots don't know what they want too it's when they are in they start seeing things themselves .(no doubt there are good and bad pilots).
The truth is all these will keep going on like that only if pilots would think of themselves and the business with the partner been supportive in every way. I know of a partner as at October 2015 he has been collecting remittance of 30k on his cars of Toyota corolla 2012 and as of now he has given the car to the pilots who had driven it... here is understanding between the two parties...With my experience I already know my capacity.
If there is understanding and lesser greed in this business pilots and partners will always be happy with one another. Brother once more thanks for the good luck... (It's possible)
No problem my brother.. Like u said some are giving out their cars for 25k .. And at the same time some are doing narrative for 20k and below... sooner or later narrative go end and na matter of time before partners go throw in the tower.
And no matter how much drivers deliver.. At the end of the day it is the owner that deals with repairs and also will deal with huge debt.....
And to all the partners giving out their cars to fleet coy... I wish you the best of luck. Don't just sit down and just wait for money to start rolling in.. Get involved in the business and ask questions. Anytime repairs are been made, verify it before signing off with your money.. And keep mind that unwanted parts from your car can be sold to aboki that are into recycling..

I think you meant to say dead cars.. I don't really see any partners out there, that is willing to give out good cars for that amount.. Maybe on a part time bases.. But 25k for a good car bro ...I wish you and the partner the best of luck.. It will lead to the blind leading the blind..

If managing drivers was that easy, trust me uber and taxify would have been in the biz. With the advent of driveless cars, uber is not asking for partners to bring in their driveless cars into the pool, but uber is now massively building their inventory of driveless cars. Managing just 2 drivers talkless of 10 ain't easy bro.
When it comes to driveless cars in Nigeria, I don't really see that been successful.. Certain things has to be put in place before that can take off ...the Nigerian road is number one reason that I don't see driveless cars taken off... if you really look at our infrastructure. we are still way behind in technology...

Just because you can't manage 2 to 10 drivers does not mean it can't be done... I do agree it is not easy , if it is easy people will be very successful at doing it... but in these uber business am sure you can get at least 10 good manageable drivers out of 10,000. Now that been said my experience so far... no matter how you try to employ any Nigerians ... there is this notion that they must chop money or find ways to steal from you ..this is regardless whether na uber or not... the Nigerian mindset is highly corrupt ...due to that it is very hard or challenging to employ any Nigerian in any company... you can hire them on the lower level of your coy.. But when it comes to higher ops that is like playing in the lion dens.. You have to sleep with one eye open or certain things to check mate them.

If you do notice foreign coy that hire Nigerians in Nigeria.. Are very brutal to the Nigerian workers.. Because they known that they have to treat us with iron gloves.. If they fail to do that they might be running at a loss.. We Nigerians are generally stubborn and we don't want to work hard.. We want the easy way out ..but that does not mean there are no good hard working Nigerians out there.. You just have to take your time and look..

oluwaseunla:
Its happening already. I know a few partners that are selling out. Thing is, there is a limit to how low rentals can be pushed before it stops being profitable. If profit is not made, it's natural for the investor to sell out. After all, it's a business, not charity.
..

The real story is that a lot of partners give out dead cars.. And also from my experience maintenance is one of the real issues.. One thing I couldn't understand is the use of water instead of coolant.. So what do u expect, there will be a lot partners cashing out ...bad manager has a lot to do with partners cashing out ...to me personally the business is still very good if you have the following.
1. Good drivers
2. Alive cars , I heard one particular partner gives out dead cars.
3. If you don't have good maintenance culture, you have no business in the uber business.
4. A trust worthy mechanic.. Have spend so much money on one of my gear box..this problem has been going on for months and months... I got a new mechanic and within a week he fix it .. Because of the new mechanic, I have a new lease in the business.. So this is the major reasons partners are cashing out.. And I pray that they continue to cash out .. So that I can continue doing the business.. All my advice fell on deaf ears ,so please partners continue cashing out ..in the mist of their cashing out ,if I can get at least 5 to 10 solid drivers I will be grateful.. And not all drivers are bad, sometimes you will need to kiss a few frogs before you find your Mr. Prince

Car Talk › Please Be Advise... by dru23(op):
To all my uber partners/ customers.... When buying Mobil 1 extended performance from me ....I will kindly advise you to buy a very good synthetic oil filter.. Failing to do that will definitely increase the chances oil shortage . I can't stress this enough ,and also I only sell ultra fram oil filters for matrix and corolla ..You will have to source from other genuine sellers from the nairaland... please keep that in mind o and if u refuse to bare it in mind ,you have yourself to blame....

The reason why I gave out this warning.. Is due to the fact that one of my customers called.. He stated that his 06 camry shorten oil , just a bit .. And I now ask him what type of filter does he use, and reply he bought it from road side mechanic for 700naira.. So I than refer the young man to some reputable oil filter seller on nairaland.. Please kindly take to my advice thank you all ..

Car Talk › Overfilling Your Engine With Oil by dru23(op): 9:11pm On Oct 18, 2018
This is just a simple reminder..... To all my uber partners out there.. From experience please make sure u don't add to much oil in your engine... .. One of my new mechanic was checking the oil level in one of my uber cars... As he pull out the oil stick ,the oil level pass over beyond full ...this is very bad ,too much oil is not good for your engine.. .. Double check all these things.. Most mechanic will just pour all inside the engine without a care ...can u imagine ,the previous mechanic just emptied out a whole 5quarts of oil ..

Be careful with fram oil filters.

Well the regular fram oil filters had some bad reviews... but the fram ultra synthetic oil had very good reviews... this is what am using now with Mobil 1 extended performance oil. So far no problem....

Another angle to it, the sienna being on the platform will be like a form of awareness for offline long distance trips. (Just thinking out loud)
Very interesting angle.... But on the down side. It will cause abuse, meaning by the time you pick people up, they might want to overload the van.. Would you now reject them.. U have to now put restriction on what they can carry... naija people fit over do things..
