Henhen. That reminds me.
I've been wanting to ask about this; abeg do drivers actually pick these kind of rides?
I mean, look at the destinations, they weren't specific.
For example, your destination is in Ijegun and you can't put street name?
So, I will reach Ijegun/Egbeda and start driving up and down to your actual destination which I don't even know? Like say Ijegun/Egbeda is 4 plot in land mass?
I always see these trip requests but I no dey look dem twice ooh.
Has any driver picked such and what was your experience?

I just got my car EOD 2005 model... 4 cylinder... Pls how much can I earn on weekly. I know say na corolla for make sense pass but na this one my hand reach. and pls is there anyone using EOD for this hustle here?
Congratulations, baba.
Weekly income is cumulative.
Na daily earning you should focus on precisely.
You NEED to set a daily target.
When you have a daily target, you will be calculative in your driving for the day and that makes it simple for you, unlike driving with no target - that looks like moving around with no aim (to me).
On a normal day hustle, a driver should be able to gross @30k (some do way more than that, even x2 self), that's why one must have a target. Na the target you set for the day will drive your determination.
Your EOD is 2.4L engine (12k fuel will give you 30k gross). Please never compromise your fuel reserve in the car.
Your net profit depends on the app you are using.
If you grossed 30k on a day work using Indrive, you are having a net profit of 15k after removing fuel money (12k) and commission (3k), by this calculation, you should know how much you are making in a week (6 days).
Once you have got the grip of the hustle, then you will know how to set your weekly target.

Much respect, boss.

Btw: me too I want to read reviews about this EOD. grin
@pearl1910, we need you here, sir. 🫡

My boss cheesy, whether a Christian or Muslim, Sundays work na the best.
Go church, come back home and roll out.
On a Sunday, even if one sets out in the afternoon, by the time it's 10pm, he would appreciate what he has made so far and it all comes with lesser stress.
I don't think this is new to all drivers. smiley

GreatAutos:
How much does an Uber or bolt driver earns weekly?

I’m about to start the hustle as well because I just got a Corolla
Do soft work on weekdays (Tuesday - Thursday).
Put your target @30k on weekdays, with 10k fuel in your Corolla, 30k will be met easily.

On weekends (Friday - Sunday), work with enthusiasm by putting your target @35k - 40k. 13k fuel will definitely give you that weekend gross. If you're someone who can start driving very early in the morning, you definitely will gross more than that.
Note 1: don't joke with maintenance of your car. With slightest fault signs from your car, attend to it immediately, as someone already said.
Your net profit depends on the app you're using.

Note 2: never skip Sunday's work. smiley

Much respect, baba.

Why wouldn't they? Lol. Baba chill o. No go interfere between police and rider matter. Na the App join una, you know sabi him or her from Adam.

The only time I went to police station with a rider was because the guys girlfriend was in my and one other police man, the guy was driven in Their hilux. Immediately we got to the station, they collect my payment for me. ..but the guy beg me not to go because of babe.

I called one of the officers aside and reasoned with him, he eventually spoke with their superior before they reduced the money they billed him. From 500k, I'm not sure if he paid more than 15k +/-. We then proceeded to Abule Egba from Ogudu.

Meanwhile, na the guy slack sha, he saw them first around 7up, he didn't tell me, I for Don match throttle comedy, instead of going through Otedola, I go divert to Ziatech....
@the bold. cheesy but they know where their fellow criminals dey nahhh. grin
Those police that majority of them are igbo (weed) smokers and drunkards, why dem go dey look for their fellow weed smokers and drunkards in my car nahh? grin
They're mostly looking for Yahoo boys and Olosho, if dem want catch dem, make dem go their base and burst dem nahh.

I've experienced similar incident and na once e Don happen during my early days of driving - these two guys were are Yahoo boys and we were stopped by police on the express immediately after Alapere estate bus stop going to ogudu, dem no waste time at all, dem packed those guys enter their worwor sienna and one police man enter my car say make we dey go, we were just driving aimlessly like headless Turkey. We drove towards Area H on ogudu road and drove back to express, omo, vex catch me that day, the police inside my car was gisting me say dem need to make money as work no easy, say my car neat and AC blasting say I dey enjoy oooh. Blah blah! Omoh na for my eyes these guys withdraw 150k give dem before they were released.
Now, upon all the time wasted, Shey the police gave me share as compensation for wasting my time and fuel? NO!
Shey those guys added to my money? NO!
Though I was using bolt then sha, but the time wasted and fuel, the extra wey topped the fare no even cover anything as dem still comot their own twenty-fccking-five % commission. angry
Baba, I go continue avoiding police check point weda I'm driving alone or on a ride.
Those people are thieves. They should go and be fighting the real crimes and criminals.

Much respect, legend.

Rider never deny you when e sup na why ginger still full your body. Continue dodging police for riders

Bro your job is to drive and drop them from A-B nothing concern me if we meet Police for road again. December 2020 fresh from Endsars na so I carry two guys from Luxury Flat to Hillsbay Hotel, we come jam those police for freedom way, na so those guys say make I no stop make I no mind them, say these guys are rogues, say abeg no stop abeg, do whatever you can but dont stop, which kind traffic are they causing at this time, thieves, yenyenyen. (I sensed fear in his voice and this feeling he's hiding his phone somewhere in the car) Na so me sef dey vex for police come use horn disturb come find way move, na so those police chase me with that Dangote motor I no know I was still blowing speed (11pm) at the traffic light at Idado that was where they blocked me.
I was thinking it's because I didn't stop at the traffic light at Jakande, I no know say na those guys chase me from freedom way up to that point. Na so police first collect my key, those boys don come down immediately, na so one begin shout for me why you no stop, (thinking it's traffic light offense) till those police told us what we did.
Omo na so those guys deny me flat say they thought I was a kidnapper as I no stop for police, they were even begging me to stop but kept calm because they're two so I can't possibly harm two of them. They were untop of their voice even accusing me more than the police. They drove my car to Ilasan police station that night I didn't know how they settle with those guys. 2 full days I was still begging and doing mabinu Daddy. Na 40k with plenty abeg and technicalities I use bail my car.

Now impatient and customer trust/satisfaction has caused me 2 days of work in December o and 40k with plenty transport to and fro Ilasan from my house. The riders I no know them, till today I no near nothing from them. If I had lose my car, na Sara, if those police had shot at me that night, na Sara.

Bro, no let anything join you with police because of rider o. That Airport police station from int'l to local, I don enter there because of rider 3 times, 2nd experience, my technicalities almost made them lock me up where I dey help rider negotiate.

Just drive them to their destination and collect money and move. No love lost.
This is different from my own point.
First, so, rider go deny me for what? Say I no be Uber driver? cheesy
Secondly, your story. shocked shocked shocked lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed inside life.
However, your story is different from my own sha. Mine is that I will stop if police are checking, but when dem no find anything implicating on my riders, then I shouldn't be delayed any further. Looking for wetin no lost dey vex me and that's when I voice out.
Because of this, since I know all the places they are always mounted, I avoid that route so that I can take my rider from point A to point B.
In the case of your story, no rider fit tell me not to wait when we jam police for checking, I am a bit experienced in this hustle, so, I know what's right.
The way I avoid police is the same way I avoid taking routes where I know FRSC and VIO dey, not that I am driving with anything offensive, but I hate their acts and time wasting. I run Indrive, not Uber or bolt that will increase my fare.
God no go shame us sha.

Much respect, boss.

In other news: proof of ownership is now renewable yearly. If you want to do your road worthiness, na then you will pay for the proof of ownership (1k) together with the road worthiness price. It's now inevitable.

No put mouth for Passenger Police issue o. Fresh boys and innocent girls have been caught with exhibit countless times. Even the IJGBs wey look responsible. Ur own is to take people from point A to Point B. Ask if they have a preferred route or if u should follow map. This way nobody will quarrel u if something goes wrong along the way.

If u must avoid police tell ur rider ahead of time, let them give u go ahead first. Things dey occure o.
I no dey interfere when they're doing their searching, but when they find nothing but still looking for wetin no lost, na that moment e dey vex me onto say they are wasting my own time and the whole scene starts looking like harassment on my rider.
Because you be police, make person no rise up and face you when you start doing rubbish? Naahhh, e no go happen.
Na once in a while I dey even encounter dem self.
Another one is when they're doing all this their rubbish and start causing vehicle pile up, wetin nahh? Na this one I no dey get patience for precisely, I go just dey blow my horn make dem comot for road nahhh, which kind work be that?
As I said, I dey know the kind person I go carry wey go dey suspicious, but still no mean say make I go take route wey those criminals dey, avoiding is part of me already cos I no get that chill when they start their annoying harassment.

Some riders actually believe drivers purposely take routes that have Police check points or that they are the ones informing Police and that they are working with police.
I always take my riders through the routes that I know we won't meet police, but many of these riders would be asking me why I didn't take that routes they knowhuh
Na so so questioning until I tell them the reason for not taking the routes they expected.
E get one wey vex me pass; the small girl was challenging me say why I no take that particular route wey she know, I told her that police always mount that side and they will definitely stop us and me I don't have problem with them, na you dem go search your bag and it would look like and embarrassment.
Dey plenty like that.
I hate this police asking my passengers to come down of the car and bring out their bags and they will start searching for wetin no lost, that act is an harassment to me. Vex dey enter my body sometimes that I would raise voice to the police.
Stop harassing my passengers for damn sake! angry
So, because of that, since I know almost all places those police dey mount, I dey always take alternative route cos I can't withstand that their mumu acts.
Though they're doing their job, but it looks illegal to me.
Those police are criminals in my eyes.
