[color=royalblue]You were changing oil every two weeks? Chai

A semi synthetic oil can last 10000km

Lagos to Abuja is 700km

So you mean your driver was covering that kind of distance 13 times in 14 days?
So your driver would be traveling like Lagos to Abuja every single day for two weeks?

Him dey manufacture him own passengers?

So sorry sir[/color]

jpworld:
I import sienna 4 sale and one driver canvass me into putting it for interstate for 40k weekly.

I decide to give it a try, within 3months of doing the business i regret my decision.

40k weekly 4 sienna sound so good, when u calculate it weekly to one year.

but the repairs will frustrate u, brake pad will be change every 2 weeks, oil every 2 weeks, tie rod, ball joints, tires u will have to keep changing, and u wont be able to save from the 40k

Crvrider:
1m each!? Bros, why you no sign up, abi you be part of the 4 pepoo?

90% of this riders want to do transfer, even for a trip as low as 500, my transfer always takes like 10-30 mins to reflect unless if its same bank...that's y i prefer card trips, it save time and u move on to next trip shaparly

donfortune48:
My way recently.

Rider: I hope you accept transfer?
Me: No problem. Hope you can wait for alert.
Rider: don't worry you'll get alert.
Me: you can transfer the higher estimate you're seen now, so at the end of the trip, if it's more than the trip fair, I'll balance you up.
Rider: alright call your account number.

From the beginning of this kind of talk, you'll surely know the ones you can trust and the ones you need to be more vigilant with.

If I end trip and you ask me for my account without telling me on time you're making a transfer.

Rider: how much
Me: 2k.
Rider: alright, call your account number.
Me: transfer?
Rider: yes.
Me: hope you can wait for alert?
Rider: you'll get it. Why do I have to wait?
Me: experience have thought me something. I'm sorry but you have to wait.

Even after this, you'll know the ones you can let go immediately after making a transfer and those that you must make wait.

northbird:
Just wanted to let him know he didn't state the whole truth...

Companies that give leave r not stupid.

There's no one DT can work for a full year wt no breaks DT won't have serious health implications.

Esp. For a profession like driving.

Olayetan:
Yeah
Hands-on experience means I've been doing the job rather than making a research on it so i know 30k is doable.
My only concern is the total package for the car, does it worth sacrificing for.

northbird:
Look for rentals pls. @ 25k


HP is an illusion... Until you cough out 3,000,000. The car is NOT YOURS.]

30k weekly n you still bear cost of repairs.

100 weeks of paying 30k weekly...... Its achievable, but a tall order.

See, this game is not for the long haul. It should b a stop gap.

Don't b too fixated on driving forever or being in this racket for too long , it kills your potentials.

You have got serious potentials in you bro...


Driving drains your mental energy. ..n DT mental energy is Gold...



Bro.. Look for rental..

Appreciation post


Guys kindly help say a word of prayer to my Madam....

She is a very private person, she is on Nairaland and I believe she might be following this group because she picked my number from here when I was looking for HP

My baby boy (11month old) was very ill, started since Friday but got worse over night...we took him to the hospital and after some test and diagnosis..I was asked to make a payment of 150k..... I was down and swept every where and was able to raise 50k plus..after several calls to some friends and close family that I can approach...the outcome was still negative...so summoned my mind to call my partner for a loan of 100k to be paid in installment with my weekly remittance. Lo and behold my people my madam and hubby rather gifted me 50k...

Words can't express how grateful I felt....

I quickly deposited 100k to balance up before my boy is discharged ....

Hitting the road to keep the hustle going

Mrs B God will surprise you and your family with blessings and favour now and forever.

northbird:
..

@ 30k rental or wt rate .Which year was that?
You mean your driver drove for 52 straight weeks on Uber in Lagos .

And there was no week the car had to b repaired or the driver had to take a break.
52 straight weeks...

. I don't believe you.

Ijyoung:
Morning house....
Am new into this ehailing(driver)....a car owners want to give his car for 10k per day, how's feasible is this?...based in Port Harcourt....
Please experience drivers is this a good offer?

Babadee1900:
1. I rate it 8/10, would have given it 10/10 if it was a civic with smaller engine.

2. I use it full time and it has never let me down.

3. Yes, I will recommend it any day anytime (provided you are buying it toks or well maintained Naija use)

4. My experience with EOD has been a bitter sweet one. I’ve owned an EOD that turned out to be a nightmare (Naija used), but this particular one I’m using currently is bae. The driving experience is lovely, AC is excellent. No engine/transmission/ac repair work since 4years of entering Nigeria.

5. I use Tokunbo ball joint. OEM is expensive, Part sellers will try to sell you same thing for different prices. You will hear this one Na original, this one no too strong but e go last, NA LIE. The only time I tried to use the China ball joint I suffered for it.

Sometime ago I traveled leaving the car behind, upon my return I told my babe to give the security guy the car key so he can wash it before I get back. He decided to drive the car to show off to his friends around the neighborhood, on his way back to the house he had an accident with the car. The impact affected the right ball joint, absorber and linkage. We couldn’t get toks ball joint around so we resulted to using the China one, less than two months after the ball joint pulled out at VGC exit gate around 7pm

Again at that time of the day, and location, only new will suffice, bought one around and replaced. A week later I changed it to Toks.
That silly act by my security guy made me loose my stock absorber, linkage and ball joint.

Generally Honda is a good brand. Just get yourself a good unit (Tokunbo or sound Naija used), stick to the recommended oil especially the gear oil and all will be well.

peeps4u:
LOL, it is one thing to demand for 30/35k, it is another thing if it is attainable with drivers. New drivers desperately looking for cars will even accept 40k but it always doesnt end well.
I will advise again, drive the car yourself or sell it if 25k is too low. This job don cast and mostly suitable for owner drivers, u can't force drivers to deliver what's not deliverable, no matter how badly you clamour for 35k.
Which drivers will deliver 35k weekly again? No old driver will even accept 30k, only new drivers accept such and they mostly always fail.

Good luck.

jpworld:
What did u see driving Uber? Olosho insult u?
Go slow for road? Owner 4 dash u the car bc u see all those things.

U don dey hustle since 2000/2002 for wharf, why not go back to wharf, since uber driving job is tough.

Gentlelife50:
yes they can call and even promised to pay 50000 naira but the problem is will they deliver at last?
Driver that need car can even promise to give you heaven at the end of the day

jpworld:
Alot of drivers looking for cars, some are calling in with this present situation, begging to get a car for 27/28k.

I pity owner's who give out their cars for 20k, in couple of months you will return all that money for fixing.

Spare parts this days are very expensive.

Gentlelife50:
Yes and if school eventually resume it will be 50 to 80k

Vision2045:
30k-35k too small nah....I think 95k -100k will be fair

jpworld:
Once church have start, on August 7 abi 14, car rental will go back to 30/35k drivers.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]It's not necessarily Wharf you should go to.

There's a place called Westminster... it's before Coconut busstop..But I don't know if it's still as before..Besides, containers and tankers don cover everywhere

My advise? Go to Ijesha bus stop. Just after it is a bus stop called Warehouse.. You'll see them offloading all these items from Containers...[/color]

toomush:
Wharf would be better

Babadee1900:
Do it for the fam

northbird:
If I talk now, some will say I dey promote taxify.

In limbo esp on the mainland.

D covid thing still impacts earnings o.

Sundays from 12noon used to b one of my best days in dis racket.

Infact I look forward to Sundays.

But now,
no churches,

eateries n restaurants operating fully, Nil
bars and joints nil
beaches nil


curfew. (10-4)


Cos we all know 10pm-4am is the only time you can drive in Lagos without traffic.

We all know traffic is a major constraint in this biz.

30k is still a tall order rite now.....

Babadee1900:
Elegushi beach is rough AFAIK. If distance is not a worry to you, why not try Atican or Santacruz Beach.
I might just go there later in the to relax.

Bear in mind that gate fee is 1000 per Adult, 500 for children.
