Me i don tell them my mind

Bolt give me N3,700 for 11KM trip in this N1090/litre fuel.

I don off apps dey go house

Pearl1910:
This question u asked now, who do u want to answer it for u?
U even said u might spend 30k fuel on this trip to and fro.
So are u saying u are okay to profit just 20k to go to Abeokuta and come back to Lagos?

For u to even ask this question it tells me na una type dey do economy trips and rush rubbish fares on Indrive. 50k is too much collect 35k

He is new that's why he asked in the forum as a question for guidance. So i dont think its good to respond with such

Much respect boss

Fuel N1030 per litre. Make i just park motor observe

Outside dry

capetownboyz:
Is 50k enough taking Someone from Lagos to Abeokuta going and coming back and 30k fuel budgets ..

If you are using 30K fuel then it should X3 to X6 your fuel usage

90K - 180K fine

roydenavas:
na true u talk boss but for suzuki drivers like us that need to remit almost 20k daily we prefer uber because of the quest money

Do you complete atleast 11 trips daily? because mehn sometimes i just pick the lowest of the quest and try to complete it.

Especially last saturday when i almost missed last trip & reward because i had driven 12hrs+ before i caught last trip. Glad the Lady didnt cancel while i was dropping the prev rider off

capetownboyz:
Spent so much on fuel today 20k and the way got finished so fast with just 5trips,mehn I barely made my return from this trips . The one that pained me the most was passing through a no entry sign along oniru coughed up 6k bribing this police on bikes ..crazy day fr ..

Sorry boss, you had long pick ups? 20K fuel should be able to net 40K-50K for you

Biodun1929:
With Indrive, you just have to know how to play their game...you might have to spend time waiting, but it definitely can be better than Uber if you select the rides tou pick.

Na Fastest finger sometimes.

To use indrive exclusively you need sabi roads and calculate your routes well because of traffic

Tokunbo parts better pass new one na scam sha

So far na OEM you buy

roydenavas:
me and indrive as uber log me out on the 4th of march

This is better than Uber

Debayoibk:

About this bro, my first comment few days ago was to monitor you car and know a little about car drivetrain thats the best way to be a driver in nigeria becos these mechs will whine you and when the problems comes you will bare the consequences 100%

On this screenshot i posted is the error codes from check engine after i entered Third mainland bridge last week, before this code i used to have P0420 catalyst code which i shared here but i have solved that by dropping the exhaust taking it to Car wash to blow the carbob blockage caused by rich fuel conditions since 2 weeks no issues instead of me buying catalyst 100K plus ifai see original sef

The P2757 error code was caused by bad CV JOINT from lekki pothole damages which made transmission oil to leak and throw code (i watched youtube videos and when my mech was changing CV joint today for me i went home to check how CV joint is linked to transmission). Tomorrow i will call him on how to solve the issue further and confirm that i dont have oil leaks after replacing the CV joint if so i will change my oil seal to prevent further leaks from transmission

The Second P2195 code was caused by the guy who wanted to loose exhaust for me but went to loose manifold, when i didnt succumb to buy new catalyst from where he knows he just rebolt nonsense there. Car dey sound loud for reverse like say i dey drive Mustang. I took it to my mech Panel to retight and seal the manifold and exhaust line, problem solved.

Thats just how i follow up on my car maintenance and avoid big issues from what 2K-5K would fix.

Got this scanner last year when i was having hard start issues and car high fuel consumption. It has helped me diagnose many car problems like Live Data, Error codes, Maintenance monitoring etc

Scanners fit no tell you the problem directly but it will give you clue, i will keep saying that's a PLUS ADVANTAGE to KNOW ABOUT THE CAR YOU ARE DRIVING DAILY

If not i for dey waste money scan or repair wetin no spoil.

Been going to d mechanic week in week out .. I done tire .
Noticed my gear oil was leaking sometime last year. Around august. Took it to a gear man. He said he need to drop d gear to confirm where d leakage is from. He charged 100k we negotiated 90k. He said if it was gear pump it will b 90k if it was just oil seal it will b 50k...

Later he said it was both. So he fixed it d leakage stop. I know dat most gear people hardly buy any parts kus dey always have gear parts on their shops.... so I was certain he didn't buy any parts from d market. He just change it with a bad gear in his shop. Only for it to start again after 2 month.... Took it back to him and he told me no b him fault. Say na d parts wey him buy. Dat is his bring it back in January.. I was furious and left... Took it to anoda gear person kus d leakage was much.. I have worked with both gear mechs before. I showed him and he said na 150k last to fix. And said it will not leak giving me guarantee. I tried to bargain he said 150k last. This was December 25 or so. He fixed it and said I needed to buy oil which I no say na lie. I sent money and everytin was ready... Been using d car till now. Only to check under to see its leaking again.. send him images. Will have to take d car back to him. This my car done chop going to 500k since december... From evaporator to compressor to 4 coils, normal servicing, shock etc. I done tire. I can't even meet up d money I borrowed sef with this useless fair ehalling apps dey being out. My tire is tired

Glithronix:
@the BOLD - from this experience, I'm sure you will henceforth ignore any trip that comes from any market.
Markets and Bus stops are the number one worst PU points.
And, how you want take pick someone at Tejuosho or Eko markets?
Omoh, some of una dey try ooh.



Much respect, baba.

The Tejuosho own dey filling station and na destination trip

The Lagos island own too na escape trip as i just drop someone in an estate closeby(all those estate wey dey get fence with Bridge/flyover)

capetownboyz:
My money is hanging on Uber .
They initiated an automatic transfer to act I wasn’t sure of cus I did send out of 500 to see if the money will reflect ,next thing I saw next day was all my money being sent to the act ..mehn I I’m worried and looking for means to reverse the transfer ..can’t provide easy transfer like others without making it look like you about to wire a million dollars ..mtcheww

As i no see bank account add easily na why i leave am dey pile up and use am settle their trip fees & commission

tobby98:
This was for last month.i rarely worked due to the bad prices mid last month. So guys, my brother travelled to Enugu with my car this morning for something important and he's going to be away for 3weeks, I am willing to work with anyone's car for this time being, 80k weekly if your car is on comfort on Bolt. I am extremely careful with cars,I don't go for all trips, I would treat it like it's mine. Text me now!

You only use Bolt?

All these riders wey go order Uber for tight areas like Tejuosho, Eko, Lagos island and other markets. Then when driver is near they cancel.

5 riders do am for me this evening. 2 rides on Uber & 3 on Bolt. Na when i dey 200metre to pickup the person cancel. I just vex dey go house

Kumuyiii:
The traffic going there is insane, the toll gate is no longer taking cash. This country dey suffer person. 💔

The Tollgate is N300 for entry

Depends on where you are coming from, just take Oshodi Apapa link the airport flyover.

Naso i take escape the traffic today

Kumuyiii:
Meanwhile PLEASE BE ADVISED, airport trip lovers.

No need to enter car park na... just tell them to push their loads to Arrival Pickup and you pay N500 at International airport.

i don cancel vegetable soup. almost embarrassed myself last week

Una dey chop vegetable soup, hot beans for morning before una work?

If hot shit hold you for Lekki Ajah traffic nkor

Shimmaa:
You guys are cashing out o
It's now looking like the fare is only poor at my own side

Its poor, just that we have to manage with addition and substraction to balance things up. Some days i dey vex go home.

Shimmaa:
With this current price or you were only doing surge trips

Trips plenty today(Sunday) except you dont feel like working. If i came out early on sunday i would replicate this Saturday earnings. Just did 2 trips and went back home

Biodun1929:
Honestly, Saturdays are my worst days for this hustle. I hardly go out on Saturday...maybe early in the morning, but by 10am, I'm back home. Weekdays, you can predict traffic...Saturdays are different. Anything can happen...very unpredictable day.

Saturdays are my best days
Sundays good for smooth driving no traffic or congestions

Shimmaa:
I will advise everyone to just stay wherever they are rn because the whole of mainland is on serious traffic.

The mad traffic start for 3pm, everywhere start to dey block

Berger, CMD road, all roads

Omo, i just happy say i complete my 11 Trips for N18,000 Reward on Uber before dem say i don drive 12hrs

Long trips with multiple stops wan finish me today and the pay for multiple stops always look bad for my eyes

capetownboyz:
we need to talk about selfishness that exist in this job towards riders and drivers ..I took a trip from Ikeja gra to awoyaya late in the evening around 4pm , though I didn’t realize what I signed up for but if anything my last experience going through that Ajah the gridlock nearly questioned my mental state ..I took this trip hoping to make some money for the day and i haven’t driven to such area before but bolt made me so ..I met the rider at the pickup location and my mind was telling me cancel this trip ,it is too far and it’s already evening and you might get stuck in traffic and I will start lamenting which I did on our way cause we were half way to awoyaya along the costal road that was yet unpaved ,I drove through the rough road my vehicle was literally vibrating through the gravel lol and she was complaining if my vehicle doesn’t have shock absorber ..We’ve gone pass sangotedo, I asked the rider Omo this your location is far oo haven’t we reached yet ,I was met with a reply ,I’m unprofessional if knew the place was far or didn’t know about the location why did I accept the trip ,why didn’t I cancel the ride..she chose her selfishness over me and she is more concerned with me getting her home safe ,while I will need to figure how to get back to Ikeja cause I hate traffic and I don’t want to be stuck in one ..Well I was fortunate enough not to meet traffic on my way back and we settled 25k for the trip ..rode back home from awoyaya to Ikeja but mehn my body was vibrating and I felt the stress I just put myself through cause I was chasing gains in this business ..so sometimes choose your feelings over this riders cause at the end of the day it’s your story to tell and you will pay the consequences for not listening to your feelings when things go wrong ..

You just dey experience trips going after Lekki Phase 2 to Ajah & the rest.

If u get intentions of coming back to the mainland with rides on week days no let 6pm nack meet u for those area

Debayoibk:
60k is there too now ..
I'm tired of staying idle..
It's 3 months..
Savings all gone..

Sorry bro, God will make a way
