Thank you boss, people don’t take this into consideration.

All these old baba driving yellow taxis don’t just look old for no reason.

You no fit drive Lagos finish calm down. Focus on ride that profit u, not just clicking yes on everything, cos u pick long trip with far pickup 4,500 annd another person wey wait one minute fit see short trip , quick pickup for 2,500 . na u loose.

The more you drive ur car, the more u repair
The more u drive, the more u monitor ur health too.


Take for example, I only did 2 trips yesterday.
1 on indrive ikeja to Ajah 13,500
And ajah to igando , showed 17,900 but customer was scared of increase, so we bargained 20k , which paid cos there was traffic anyway. .


Gross :33k 500.

I refilled 10k fuel .

Net should be 23k there about. Started feeling a bit weak (malaria) and went to sleep.
If I wasn’t weak sef, 2 more trip, I’m done.

So Whether rentals or HP. Never do 7 days weekly.
Drive no dey finish. Chop small, drive small, rest small.

Ire o

Much respect, boss. ✌

The person wey quote na real legend , he has been here for long so no be newbie

I called his attention to him so that e no go dey allow General take am on cruise ni.
Legends just full this platform everywhere. 😃

Yes o...that is true...thats why we have the rich and the poor. But then we all go to the same market. Anyone doing this Job full time, with no other side hussle and isnt making 150k-200k weekly Is dulling irrespective.
Is okay for me is a statement of complacency and selfishness.

NB:
If u like use 10apps to work, u can only do one trip pertime. So u can only make a certain amount not more than d person using one app. 80k daily profit is only possible during Christmas period and I pursue and make it sometimes. So nothing u want to tell me that I dont know. Yes, people earn more than I do but I wish I could do more.

I no gree, sir.
But it's okay sha.

Much respect, sir.

Pearl1910:
Settling for 20k daily when u can make 30-40k isnt being contented its settling for less. And wanting to make most of the time u spend on d road isnt being greedy.
When u have responsibilities aside ur head, ur back and ur body, your narrative will change.

Sure, I have the experience to get 30k - 40k.
Some drivers go even do way above that, we all know.
But as an ordinary Uber driver, if I fit dey pocket 20k a day, I think I'm doing well already. Bills, family will be taken care of.
Me wey be lazy driver from the beginning, and I come be low budget driver join, I go happy die.

Much respect, boss. 😊

Y1nka:
Settling for 30-40k when u can work all day and all app to make 80k nko?

I know say u sef be legend here but this job is a rat race, nobody wins. Hustle according to ur need. That is what contentment is about . Na u know wetin carry u enter road.

So, no one is wrong Whatever works for u oga Pearl

Counter-attack.

Much respect, baba.

Counter my story with proofs, you don't need to lie, in order to keep deceiving car owners.

A 2004 Toyota Corolla has full tank of 60liters.

568x60=34k.

34k fuel will take me to nnewi And still remain like 15liters.

For example Sangotedo to ogudu is about 43km and via Indrive you are paying 11k.
during peak period it gets to 15/16k

From my estimate 6/7 litres of fuel will do the job, that's about 4k fuel. Let's do the maths.

11k minus 10% indrive fee= 1100
Fuel 4k total 5100

So you are making about 5900 for just this trip.

Now count how many trips you make in a day, that's the reason drivers are going home with 25/30k or more in 12/14hours. After fueling.

If you are a driver, you know I am saying the truth, but you want me to off Mic, so the cheating game will continue.

Smiles. Be like you never mark the names of all the legends here finish.
The General wey you de give this breakdown just dey cruise ni nahh.
That man you responded to (general) na rolling dollar. All the keys to dollar vaults dey with am.
Him just dey cruise with you ni, him sabi all these analyses you dey give am.

Much respect, boss.

GeneralZodd:
Na true you talk. I did 2 trips on Indrive yesterday morning for 30k. I quickly close for the day and went home to do other things.

No stressing my self and my car

Y1nka:
Bolt is good for

1- LONG TRIPS (destination when far)


2- when out of zone area (after Ajah , badagry or so) bolt would most likely have a rider to take you out.




But indrive is good where a lot of riders are, no score drop, u also have the freedom to choose a trip or the price. Something BOLT doesn’t offer and they punish u for not picking what they give

The person you dey give these tips to na legend.
Him sabi all the tricks and drips on all the apps.

Much respect, baba.

jpworld:
I started driving since first week of November, I drive only Fridays/Saturdays/Sundays

I drive from 6am to 6pm, sometimes I stop at 8pm.

And I use 12k fuel daily from NNPC, There is no day since November 1st up till today I don't gross 40k and above. What this means is, I make comfortably minimum of 25/30k anyday I hit the road.

In 3days I go home with 90/100k above. I never use bolt or uber. Only Indrive

Impressive.
You see this hustle, na sense e require. Plus target.
You don't need to drive your ass vigorously before you can hit your target.
Indrive will give you what you want with lesser stress that comes with peace of mind, everything under your control.
What you make weekly (3 days) is enough for ómóluabi.
If one is not greedy, you will make good savings, take care of your car comfortably without your own health breaking down.
Soft work, cool profit.
You're doing well, baba.

Much respect, boss. ✌

Ceenelly:
Good evening house, please i need help. My car is honda civic 2008 model. Last year when i engage my gear to either drive or reverse, the car would start shaking and making sound, it was later discover that the fault is a faulty adjuster belt which i change by buying complete belt adjuster but still yet the signs and symptoms continue so my mechanic advise i remove the adjuster belt completely which he did and bought a shorter belt. After this i stop experiencing those noise and the shakes or vibrations but my belt easily worn out and woulf be making squeak noise. So now have decided again to go back to my belt adjuster cos driving without the adjuster is affecting even my battery, today i bought a new adjuster and also the symptoms of the vibration when engage in drive or reverse resurface.
Please house i am looking for a solution if anyone have please give me on how to stop the vibration when engage in drive and reverse, thanks

My confusion start wen I read here say the vibration when u put am on reverse or drive was caused by adjuster.
Fine, the squeaky sound has to do with the adjuster (not actually the belt).
But that vibration when engaged on driver or reverse should be another thing.
Check all your seatings (engine seats), check all if there's anyone damaged.

Much respect, baba.

Those Indians have companies, industries and manufacturing plants. They are working.
These GRA Chinese people, look like tourists and people that just came to enjoy naija, but they stay long and look like butter.

It is well.

Pearl1910:

Maybe you're SELECTING trip...yes you can stay for one hour before you get a trip on indriver if you're SELECTING trip..If na anyhow belle face, I am not sure you will stay that long

northbird:
Very possible.. if you enter v.i for morning, the best is to move towards oniru..
V.i proper. Fastest fingers will show you shege.

What's the point in picking useless trips, the goal is to make profit, not run around lagos like a rabbit.

It is well.

Much respect, sir. 🙌

Barbiturate:
So it's either I am lieing or I don't know what I'm doing or saying? 😏
I should come and meet you for proper lecture or join telegram group ba?! 🙃

Agba awo. I greet you, sir.

Much respect, boss.

Pearl1910:
Indrive can b annoying, frustrating and discouraging. Imagine waiting for 1hr without a trip. Omo

I don't think there's a way you will stay online on indrive for 1hr and you no go get a trip.
It's not possible.
You will always get rides popping up on your driver app.
The only thing that will make a driver not get a ride for that 1hr is if he's bidding higher to the riders, or he's selective of the kind of rides he picks.
If you want to do anywhere/anyhow belle face on indrive, you go see say rides plenty for you to drive yourself to stupor.

Much respect, legend.

Omoapena:
Lolz

I'm from mushin actually, born and raised in mushin, but our dad tried by giving us education so we live a very modest life...

I no gree.
I will believe what oga pearl said about you in the court of law.

Much respect, baba.

Pearl1910:
E be like u no sabi Omoapena...he once carried two riders(trips); one on Bolt, one on Indrive at the same time from Mushin to Island.🙆

They guy no wear shirt for him Indrive profile pix.😀
Respect him!!!

Pearl1910:
Na him area be that.

Ahhh, na alagbara him be be that.
People living in mushin area should be respected. Ahh, na rugged people dey live for that axis.

Much respect, baba.

pope191:
I have different play list from blues to hip hop and naija oldies, but this present days jam? I’ll leave it for 98.5 or 88.5 to do their thing. Most time when I need to calm my head, I’ll do 97.3.

🙌 🙌

@omoapena. So sorry about that.
Damn! I can imagine this kinda situation.
But shey na indrive you suppose vex for abi yourself?
Cos indrive go tell you say na you pick the ride, it wasn't imposed on you like bolt does.
And that mushin na one kinda messed up area.
I would prefer going to ikorodu than going to mushin. Not to talk of anywhere close to that ladipo area.
No vex, boss.
Na to just drive to a sane area and relax before picking another order.
Sure you're relaxed now.
It is well.

Much respect, baba.

vivalavida:
I used to e-hail occasionally in 2022. Haven't done that since last year. But I come here to unwind. Mosafejo is at alaba. Just know that.

Ooh, okay, baba.
Na drivers wey dey go there go know.

Much respect, boss.

pope191:
No play music for ladies wey just close from work o. I just notice they don’t vibes and my kind of music is honestly what they can’t vibe too. I’ve lost touch with normal music. I’m the type that will play 50 songs and the person next to me may not know one.

Omoh, which kind planet you from, boss?
Out of all these songs, I think the REHAB is the only one I know.
Baba, you go be one kind mean man ooh. 🤣
Imagine playing songs and your riders go just dey look inside your car.
I have different segments of playlist and I select accordingly.
I actually don't like majority of the songs but I started downloading what people like since I started driving.
Playlist dey for every day and depends on the kind of passenger(s) on board.
Gat special playlist for Sundays for Church people.
Friday jamz dey. Thursday (Naija old school) dey. I even gat raggae songs. Fuji dey for old and matured Yoruba passenger(s).
Na only blues I no create playlist for, cos nobody wanna fall in love Kikikiki.
I choose songs for people, not for myself.
Songs that I know all of them can sing along.

Much respect, boss.

vivalavida:
Funny enough Alaba market is close to that place. Anybody who lived and grew up around alaba knows where mosafejo is. If you know sunny bus-stop, turn into the bus stop and straight down is mosafejo. And sunny bus stop is at alaba.

Go and accept the ride and head to Mosafejo nah.
Drop the passenger there and collect your money. 😁😁😁
Or better still, when you get to Mosafejo, drive the passenger to alaba as a cruise drive and collect 5k fare price.

Much respect, baba.

I've been using bolt and indrive as a passenger, too.
In many cases, those drivers would call me themselves and asking me where are you going, sir?
In my mind, I would be like like, wetin be this: but my destination is showing on your app there!
Well, since I'm a driver, too, I don't take it seriously, I just relate well and answer.
That's cos I understand the whole thing.
The one I dey pity gangan na indrive drivers. You accepted my order and you called me immediately. The next thing I go hear is, where are you going, sir?
WTF! Bro, If I cancel now and they remove your money, you go come here come dey rant say indrive this, indrive that.
Why would you call me yourself as an indrive driver?

MrReeseG:
My head dey be like e wan explode if I meet people like paragraph 1... That trip will be in complete silence with my head at 100°C. That's if I never even cancel the trip by myself.
I fit no even play you music self

Funny.
But me I never kuku jam a rider wey respond rudely when I confirm their destination to dem.
As I said, I don't ask where you're going. I just confirm the area (location) to you.
The complaints I've heard from passengers were that some drivers always ask them where they are going when it's already on the app.
What they meant was that, a driver will ask them, "where are you going?"
You see that's annoying when you as a driver can see the address on the app.
Why not confirm the area to them?
Oh, this destination says in Ipaja side/Ikotun side/Okota side/Oshodi side, etc.
Passengers will simply respond with a YES if that's the area.
If it's not, they will alert you.
This one is different from asking where your passenger is going when you can see it on your app. Just confirm the area, lobatan.
Do this before you leave the PU point. Simple.
I've been saved uncountably by doing this.
I no get strength to drag with a passenger, abeg.
It is well.

Much respect, baba.

Omoapena:
I don't know if you have experienced this, the PU is ikeja cantonment and you that you're in abule ijesha around that unilag area will be getting the trip and you will be seeing 5mins to pick up only to realize the map is pointing to somewhere within abule ijesha area but you know where ikeja cantonment is...


I can't count how many times I have educated riders not to input pick up address when they are requesting in area they aren't familiar with, they should let the app detect their location so it will be easy for drivers to locate them.

@the bold: very well, I don see am plenty.
Not only that one self. One day, I was around Ososa Avenu, bariga side and I picked a ride that showed "Abeokuta Street" as PU which I was very sceptical about before picking, cos I know like 4 Abeokuta Streets within my reach on mainland here. But the money was sooooo good that I picked it.
I immediately messaged the rider that the Abeokuta Street you are is in somolu here?
He replied fast that no oooh, it's Ikeja. Omoh, I no even waste time, I immediately cancelled with "I refuse to take this ride".
My mind no dey deceive me.
And that's because I've experienced it very well and if I no learn, wetin I gain?
If I see a PU Street name anywhere, I know the one that will likely be inaccurate at the glance of it.
Btw, some don't understand how this thing works.
With their LOCATION off on their phones, they just open app and post a ride request.
If I switch to my passenger mode, I go wait for like 30 secs before I make a ride request.
That's cos I know that the app will load in the background to pick your accurate location.
Many of them need to understand this.
It is well.

Much respect, sir.

Omoapena:
Look at this trip, it's a perfect example of what happened to pope, a driver will accept this now and drive to the point the map is showing but entirely different from where the rider is going.

Trips like this, I just look away from it.

Fantastic.
I've seen this countless times.
@the bold, that has solved it.
If any driver pick that ride and end up having issues with the passenger, na the driver I go get fight with.
Cos your brain no pain you to know that Alaba market is no where near that place.
The rider fit no sabi use the app well.
You wey be driver too no know the work?
Just ignore the ride. Then no case.

Much respect, baba.

Kaymaxi2222:
I am a driver and I have my rules which I follow strictly my rating on indrive is 4.9 and I don't take shit from people....I have walk down a passenger around that bonny camp before because they were going to fadeyi other side, but the map was showing that I can pass through that road they've block, so from vi the price was 5200 or so but when I picked them they told me I will have to pass 3rd mainland and then start driving back to enter fadeyi other omo Naso I drop dem for middle of the road where they just finished Stanbic HQ now...... because I am doing e hailing does not mean I should take shit from people.

Legend.
I hail thee ooh.
