julietromeo:Honestly this is not a hustle for you bro. Like u said the market is flooded. Plz sir stay home the market is flooded. U can do yellow cabs. That market for yellow is not flooded at all . Coz the way the market is flooded now, uber would have pack up by the time you want start with them. |
Carshopper:Lol that was a fast response ![]() |
Carshopper:Can you take 900k cash now now |
julietromeo:One of my friend made 14k yesterday. And he even close early from his shift. Omo go and sit down and find a new hustle. This business is not meant for you. You over here crying flooded. Which flood na your house flooded. Go and do proper findings before you conclude on anything. Do your research bro. |
[quote author=dru23 post=65491784]Well the shocks I got is OE parts. Made in China. Everything is made in China now. But if it is coming to USA there is some form of quality control. No USA company wants to get sue by importing way below sub standard product. Unlike third world countries that China has made a dumping ground. Well if you look at it is the importer that goes to China and tell the manufacturer the grade of product they want. And to cut costs they ask for the cheapest type. At the end we can't really blame China. We need to blame the government for not enforcing the checks and balance of stuff that comes into the country. |
[quote author=julietromeo post=65484588][/quote]If you need help I can link u up with a friend of mine on the platform. He made 14k yesterday and work less hours. My assumption from you is that it there was too many cars on the road. Again if you need some pointers I can help you out. Order than that like Ogunvic41 will say let's keep lagos moving |
olaboy1:Well the shocks I got is OE parts. Made in China. Everything is made in China now. But if it is coming to USA there is some form of quality control. Even iPhone is made in China |
timifakay:Yes you are very correct. Most car parts are made in China. The ones that enter USA from China have quality control. For the shocks for example they can last you maybe 40k miles and it will come with some warranty. The shocks I bought says oem , which can mean almost anything. If I can get six months out of it. Than am ok with it. Most used parts in lagos don't really last that long. And even if I buy salvage shocks how long will it last. Those shocks chances are have a lot of miles on it. And by the time I use it in najia how many miles could I get from it. At the end of the day am taking a chance. For now I will continue trying the parts from eBay. |

olaboy1:Yes am in the states. And have been doing the business for 7months exact as of yesterday. The issue with parts, if you read my previous thread about elantra. At the start parts were change. Same parts were change after less than few months. We change mechanic, than we change to a new manager. So far so good, also I decided to import the major parts that are needed in the car that will last longer. I went on eBay, eBay is your friend o. I bought shocks for$100 both back and front. Ball joints, two scanner , stabiliser links. At a good price. Those items am putting it inside the booth of my next car. Disengage the booth , a friend of mine did the same thing and nothing happens to the stuff inside the car. I am not worried about the value of the car . My landing cost is very OK. After year or more I sell the cars. Worse comes to worse. Instead of selling the car, I will reconditioned the car over and put it back on the road. Business is all about strategy and everyone has a method to their madness. You can't compare my method to some. I have advantage my cars are tokunbo and my landing cost is almost the cost of buying very good or Grade A Nigerian used cars. |
olaboy1:I fully agree to an extent. It is so crazy to see and hear drivers that wants to make more than owners by force. These drivers have to understand that it is not by force to make more than owners. When in essence the drivers didn't put a dime to buy the vehicle. They came in with zero capital and they want to double what they didn't invest in. |
olaboy1:It boils down to how owners manage their cars. Go back to my thread during Ogunvic41 days. People were giving out cars left and right coz they want make money. If you are passionate about your investment you will not let it get to the point that your car will be devalued. Put some checks and balance in place. Hire good team around you. I do inspection every two weeks on my cars. Take the business seriously and hopefully you will reduce you risk of not breaken even. And hopefully with a little luck you be fine. |
Daveonoja:Bro how far. You have not posted your currant earnings. Either way keep up with the good job |
vulpeslopez:50k might be possible, even if uber increase their fare. The bottom line is no drivers will want to do profit sharing. The extra money the driver is making he will now be sharing it. For what. Most rather just pay their agreed rental and be done. Any extra from that they smart ones will save and others will squander it |
GAZZUZZ:Don't mind me o |
darocha1:Sorry bro, I just got a driver for the civic last week. More tokunbo cars are coming. Just follow the thread. It is first come, first serve. |
julietromeo:Please before you conclude . Do your research and read the thread. Ask questions and people that are great. Don't let the blind lead the blind. There is request and the market is not flooded. If the market is flooded that will be good. It will mean that only good cars will last on the platform. Riders will than be picky. And they can reject any cars they don't like |
julietromeo:Smh, you must be a driver. I own cars on the platform . And each cars deliver 40k a week. 07 elantras non of my drivers are complaining. There was a young man on these platform daveone . He posted his earnings part time. I spoke to him and he said it's all about planning and positioning. Plz don't come out here and give wrong information. Read the threads and learn from guys that are doing it. I meet another young man on these forum. He posted his last week earnings on taxify. He was looking for a car to drive. The 03 camry he has was too old for him and giving him bad ratings . I call the young man up. Coz I posted a 04 tokunbo civic. The young guy can't be more than 24 yrs doing uber. He said work is going on. That has he is speaking to me a request just came in. One of my guys on the forum has not driven for months. Waiting for a new car to drive . He drove this past Sunday back to back request. He drove on Monday from 5am to about 1pm made 10k. He slept for 2 hours and started his evening shift at about 4pm and made a total of 16k for the day I have reliable people on these forum that I can ask questions and they can give me an honest answer. So bro either you are lazy or u have no clue on what you are doing. The people that are getting requests don't have two heads now. Change your thinking and move with people that you can learn from. These is the reason why the rich move with the rich. And the poor stay poor coz the move with each other. Do your homework before coming on the thread to complain about the market been flooded. If a 22 year old is getting requests I don't known what to say about your situation o |
Ogbaba123:This is dru23 u can email at dru23@hotmail.com |
[quote author=Carshopper post=65404179]I was surprised when I found out this ... now if the so-called 'illiterate' as we call them build up a shift culture, what are we 'graduates' doing? [/quote No matter how you explain it to them. Even if you give them rental for 15k a week the feelings is always
|
timifakay:Yes not at risk of others. This is were planning comes in. Uber should a hustle. You do it for a while achieve your goals and move on. That is what am saying bro. When u hustle u make plans on how to hustle without killing yourself. Some drivers on the platform work only weekends. And some days during the week. And they still deliver and spend time with their family. It's all about planning my brother. Work smart not hard |
[quote author=GAZZUZZ post=65377161]some of forget about quality of life of a driver that spends too much time on the job. With time they will get burnt out. Most drivers on the UBER and Taxify platforms do not have a spiritual life any more, Friday sat and Sundays are the most profitable days, and they are spent on the road. Sustainability is key, keeping drivers happy doing what they do is important. As I said earlier. A tired driver will go home to rest if he is on a flexible workable plan. A driver on a higher target will try to defy nature, and there are consequences. A driver on a flexible workable plan will not work all through the night, he will pace himself. this does not mean that there are drivers who will still take advantage of the lower weekly payments and decide to work like robots, but that's where the job of a fleet manager comes in, he monitors driver earnings, and the number of hours driver spends on the Job, and the times. If driver is given a corrola 2005 and he loves all nighters fleet manager will swap driver with a kia or a city reason is simple, he has lowered the risk of theft of the vehicle. no one will want to steal a rio or city. There is more to fleet management than paying 50k a week. Gazzuzz 08033910382 [/quote Quality of life? In life you have to decide on how you want to achieve your goals. You might have to put aside the luxury of comfort for the mean time. And have these attitude of get rich or die trying. Once you achieve your goals, than you can relax a bit |
medd422:You need to learn from people that are doing good my brother. Health is wealth for the lazy. Somebody posted is earninga doing part time. Why don't you call him and get some pointers . Also plan at the same time. Work smart not hard
|
Keep up the good work
|
Daveonoja:Keep up the good work |
iyaegin:Your mates are making above 20k on a Sunday. U better go and take advice from them. So that you can step your game up. Yes I have never driven before on uber either in Nigeria or the good old USA. Am a boss, we don't take orders we give orders. So ran along and get that money. And maybe if you work hard enough you might be a boss one day. You have to start from somwere . And maybe and maybe if you are a good little boy I might hire you to drive one of my tokunbo cars. So sit down and be humble |
Hayastark:Don't mind him plz. We all need to learn |
tempex88:Let him share is experience please. We can all learn something. Most car dealers are crooks, |
iyaegin:And there was another young man that poster his earnings. This was few days ago. The young man was looking for another car. Because the 03 camry he was driving was too old and given him bad rating. I called him and offered him my 04 civic which he kindly decline. Because he was looking for a corolla, which he finally got and it is a tokunbo. When I spoke to this young man. He should be about 22yrs old. I ask him how request he said request is going on. I said to him people on nairaland are complaining that request is slow. He said has he is talking to me a request just came in. Be even said that there is not enough cars self for the job. Omo when he said I tire o. So what is the fuss about that you are waiting all day only one request . Bro you need to change your thinking o. Do you even have friends or associate yourself with people with the same line of work you do. For me o, I have at least 6 people that are drivers on the platform. Some are owners, those are the people I talk to when I want to get the full gist on what's on going. I get all my facts from them. This is even before I talk to my own fleet manager . I make sure I get enough facts before anybody starts to tell me bullshit. This is why the rich stay with the rich. You need to start moving with fellow drivers so that you can get the true narrative of the business. Hope and wish you better luck. |
iyaegin:I see , what part of the thread do you read. Do you do research at all. The problem with a lot people is that they just sit down and expect things to flow easily. Did you read the part of a driver on these forum,. He works part time and still makes money. Did you even try to analyse what he was saying? Did you even call him for advice? Did you even do anything before coming to any conclusion that the business is slow or not like what it used to be ? Well for your information , I called the part time driver. I am based in the USA with drivers on the platform. The driver said yes the business is a bit slow. But he himself stragetize and he gets up at a certain time . He has plan and he follows the plan. He made an example how some drivers just wait around looking for riders. Some even reject riders. He is talking about the type of drivers like you. In life if you want to be successful, you need to do what successful people do. My brother you need to change your ways and your thinking . The part time uber driver was generous enough to post his earnings. If I was him I would not bother myself after lecturing people on how to improve their earnings. Sometimes people can't be helped no matter how you try. This is the difference between the rich and poor. And finally before you conclude read the thread, talk to people that are doing better. And ask questions. Learn from people that are better than you. Hire people that are smarter than you and learn from them. This is how successful people think and behave |
