Much respect, baba.

Crvrider:
I remember Pocah.ontas(where that babe and iz.u sef?) once said she enter ride when the driver starch him shirt. She said guy was looking crisp and fresh...guy even made her honey till she got to destination. Now how about that!?

I dey order for bolt and when 'some' of these people show up, I dey always commend them.
I've had various drivers showed up in clean outfits and good looking.
In early December that I ordered bolt for my people 3 times: drivers were 2 females and 1 male.
One female showed up in very clean silver Camry sport ('10 - '11 type) omoh, I was tripping.
The second female showed up in a black Corolla (2010 type) tinted. Chai! Babe fresh with cool voice (this one had over 7k trips on her record)
The male among them showed up in Camry (muscle 07-09 type), black and tinted.
All these people looked corporate and clean.
Though, they didn't wear shoes.
Omoh, I have planned to up my outfit game - though, I was never unimpressive.
Being a driver no mean say you should look like one, dressings self dey make passengers judge/rate you. Some passengers self (mostly female) dey check and recheck you when your dressings self sweet pass their own.
Every Friday + Saturday+ Sunday, I dey try with my dressings. na shoes I no fit wear as Pope ask.
Much respect, boss.

Crvrider:
Are you sure about this? What if I choose a fare higher than what the rider quoted?

Nope. You must accept the rider's fare.
It even happened twice yesterday.
I think it's part of the upgrades on indrve app.
When you see ride that's very close to you, accept it and see.
Much respect, boss.

Gentlelife50:
So you also know about sun burn?

I don't know why most of the comments I dey read today dey look funny to me.
Much respect, bossman.

Rentals mean owner fix car right?

If you do 120k weekly and you give owner 30k, 25k on fuel, 12k for app. Then you should have like 50k to yourself.

The downside of this job is having a good car, but as good as your car may sound. After 2 years things may not be the same, that is if it gets up to 2 years. All the work I have been doing this Jan have been going to car. Lining and pot, socks... I still have engine sit to tackle. If you have a car and you have like 150k in your account that is making you to feel like you have one money somewhere car never show you shege.

How else do an ehailling driver want to look good. Shirt and Jeans with pams, AbI you want they knot tie and shoe. The hustle and sun burns one out. Just make your money and damn perception, you as a soul should decide what's important. One of the lessons I've learnt from this hustle is a beggar do have a choice.

True talk, baba.
It is all means to an end.
God no go shame us.
Make I laugh to the bold once again.
Much respect, boss.

pope191:
what do you mean by overlook, having your car might really not change anything. More money, more problem.

Boss, if one owns his own car and he's doing this e-hailing hustle and he's not different, maybe we should help such person beg his village ancestors.
If We wey dey do rental self dey flex (categorically), what more of a car owner.
More money, more problem? Ahhh, e don choke be that.
Much respect, boss.

IFSHR:
As you dey collect...don't forget to deposit back as well o

Ahh, surest thing.
Depositing everything on Friday.
Much respect, baba.

One comrade down! I repeat a comrade is down!! Code red!!! Alpha 112...

I think the dude made that post to enlighten ladies on their perceptions about Uber/bolt drivers.
Na immature girls will downlook e-hailing drivers.
Imagine that dude with such property, financial stability and owning 2 vehicles. It is good as he didn't reveal his financial worth to the girl.
Imagine if I have my own ride now and be using it to make money, even na girls go dey trip for me, cos my outlook will totally be different. One small girl will now be using me to catch cruise.
I can bet my remittance that the girl fit never reach 25years of age. Cos na their way be that.
Inside life.
Much respect, boss.

Ok Chioma, no wahala.

Una no go kill person for here.

VaselineCrew:
How is Bolt still offering N800 ride, with 4km pickup, fuel selling for as high as 300 naira, and 25 percent commission on top

I am not understanding

Una never see anything.
I said it in December during the surge period that drivers go abandon bolt after December and switch to other apps.
Bolt is a total crap without surge.
Even on indrive, I see ride requests of 1k/1.2k/1.3k and I always wonder who picks these kind rides.
All those indrive passengers wey want go short trips of 1.5k and below should always use bolt/Uber, na there be their sure plug.
As I dey like this, I no dey take eyes see trips of 2k and below, I swipe them out immediately.
Like, what TF! Who does N800 trips?
Much respect, boss.

chiste1:
How about the one you would drive and just getting to the gate,the rider cancels the ride and block your line instantly.

I term that as pure wickedness and I use my second line to always send them a stinker message with prayer for them to always experience rejection at the point of breakthrough,then I block them completely.

Shege banza.
All of us go dey alright las las.
Much respect, baba.

Gentlelife50:
Yeah, I don't think it will work for them.
That's why I always call to confirm they are ready for the trip before moving, to avoid traveling to the place and start waiting perpetually

It is well.
Much respect, baba.

Conner44:
You see this life. E no just balance at all. even with his own jumper cables and money nobody still wants to go and help him truly it’s very painful.

On the roads especially at night, breaking down or stopping to help people is very dangerous indeed. My fellow Uber drivers, don’t be like that man. Don’t be begging upandan on various apps and on the streets at nights because your alternator, battery or tyre disappointed you. It is a very helpless feeling.

Own the road, stay ontop of the issues and be a solution provider to yourself and others

Buy a CAT Professional Automobile Power Tool. Few are left at N120k per unit. Make your order today and never be like Adewale, the Uber driver who has entered a very bad one chance

Baba, I go need to come learn marketing under you, sir.
Omoh, see strategy.
Much respect, boss.

chiste1:
Yeah,but it's too much

Yeah.
You know say na naija we dey, and Lagos is the worst when it comes to hold up/traffic.
15km drive on a free raod without traffic should not take more than 15mins (even, less).
The app being foreign, it is expected that passenger can/should have the patience to wait for 15mins, using the time frame of 15km on free road. But our own country won't accept that crap.
Na to leave long PU ride requests for drivers close to them.
Much respect, baba.

Omoh, my pocket don full of cash.
Riders now making cash payments instead of their usual trasnfers.
Even, a trip of 6k I did now, na cash the rider pack give me.
The fear of deadline of the old naira notes is the beginning of wisdom.
Abeg, make these people do transfer naahhh.
I go change am for them oooh.
Much respect, bosses.

YeyeGbami:
You fit reach there make him problem pass battery, and then the location na die. Na daylight?

Na night... As at the time I made the screenshot.
It is well.

Gentlelife50:
Which of them don't have long pick up these days?
My only problem is getting to pick up point and rider keep taking forever to come out, I hate it and always change it for them.
Nigerians don't value time at all, but if you arrive on bolt before getting to thier place they start crying which means they know what they are doing.

How I wish indrive fit add paid waiting to their app. But I doubt that it will happen because of the nature of the app (liberty to adjust price and price fixed), which is their main selling point.
Much respect, boss.

chiste1:
Who else is experiencing the kind of rides appearing on indriver?
Showing pickup locations as far as 8km away.

Indrive pick up radius covers 15km.
Much respect, boss.

I for like render a help but this life is dangerous.
Imagine where he is even at self.
Painful I can't help, but I wish I could.

tojahh:
Just dey play

You dey hear?

Dey play.

🤣🤣🤣

pope191:
Even when I give them the highest price?

ReadaDream:
Leave am, make he they play.

Na wetin I noticed be that naah.
Imagine I see an order, as I clicked on accept, the app accepted it immediately before you even say 1.
This has been happening for days now.
I think it only works when driver accepts the rider's price, not when he/she proposes higher bid to the rider.
Abi make I try choosing the highest price make I see am first?
I don't think so: I go just rot in one parking spot.
Much respect, bosses.

I noticed something about indrive lately;
If an order pops up and you as a driver who is closer to the rider pick it, the app will automatically accept it from the rider side.
I think this is what happens when we talk about fastest finger crabs.
Much respect, bosses.

From the argument few pages ago, educative.
When legends are arguing or trying to make points, newbies like us sit back and read, na like this person dey learn, not by getting involved when legends' are sharing knowledge.
Much respect, bosses.

Tgiirl:
Good day, everyone


I want to appreciate everyone for their support toward me and my family.

We are in perfect health and Glory to God I can walk now without support.

Thank you all

Alhamdulillah.
Much respect, boss.

Omoapena:
Brother, there's no way you can earn 95k with 11500 fuel, make people no dey bobo you, even if you do only surge trip, you still can't make that, highest go be like 75k or 80k if your car fuel consumption is good...

Jibwillz:
Avoid vw passat oo
Grab any good 1.6l jetta 07/08 with both hands and legs and find a good vw kazeem

stacyadams:
over heating problems Na number one..

I got una responses yesterday but couldn't acknowledge them cos I was assa hustling.
I've already told the brother wetin una said about the VW, it is left to him to think twice.
I told him to go for Corolla/Camry 05/06, but be like say him dey consider affordability. He has his own dealer sha, make him go make him choice.
Much respect, bosses.

Abeg, wetin make VW Passat and Jetta so cheap?
Does it have much disadvantages ni, abi na because of low demand for it?
Any VW ride good for this hustle?
A neighbor asked, I said I go get back to am, that's why I quickly rushed down here to seek your views on that brand of car, this brother said him prefer the VW but want to know if it's good for the hustle.
The brother is opting for a foreign used.
Much respect, bosses.

The brother above me though.
No vex, I only laughed at your last paragraph.
Bolt-vengers.
Much respect, boss.
