I know say Cheerfulgive is still driving on Bolt on a low key. Because he can't risk all this surge to pass him.


he won't say it, but we know he is using it

But seriously, bolt surge dey tempting, wallahi.
If to say I don re-verify my profile on bolt ni, I go dey do set destination daily.
My blokos was ringing when I saw boss Pearl posted dashboard of over 70k gross on single day hustle.
All Bolt drivers have no excuse no to gross over 50k daily, even lazy drivers.
Much respect, boss.

pope191:
My broda you can't come and kill yourself. Watch out for traffic zone as that can ruin everything.

Sure, boss. I dey always use bolt app to see traffic areas. Thank God say na you go choose ur destinations on indrive.
Total offline I did yesterday was 18.5k (highest I have done this month at the moment)
On my dashboard, I had 32,600 and see the time I started working, my 1st trip. Na cos of queue at filling station made me start late, I spent over 2hrs.
My offlines this month plenty pass previous months.
Much respect, boss.

Indrive is a negotiation app, it does not use any meter to read. They can negotiate online or offline, no duress, no emotions. As the spirit leads. I entered on today, the guy no even bother to on a/c. I was just laughing inside my guy no just send. I doubt if the car have a/c

mejai:
wicked girl rider. Common sense should tell her she needs to tip u. Go to some exclusive restaurants u are expected to tip the waiter that served u. U put the cash inside the menu card.
But some riff-raffs that manage to order a ride go dey form boss man/lady. Some no go even apologize on top it they will sit at the back, telling u to reduce the volume of the radio, I want to buy this or that. Criminals!!!

Mad people everywhere.

Na the only shege we dey face on indrive be this.
Much respect, baba.

Crvrider:
I feel so very comfortable using indrive, however they are still somethings that they really need to work on. For instance 10days is just too much on refunds for trips that wasn't executed but deductions was made.
2) riders should be penalized for keeping drivers waiting for too long (although I usually ask them to pay something)

These are the only two things that make me not to rate indrive 10/10 yet.
I'm waiting for the period they will finally work on these two, cos I am eager to rate them 10/10. For now, it's 8/10.
However, me I no dey ask for extra tip for delayed time, even if dem delay me for 30mins (exaggeration), I just off my engine then keep relaxing.
But I always definitely show any rider that delays me for 10mins upwards.
The only thing is that the time wasted would have fetched me some thousands of naira, but I saved my fuel sha.
That's why I don't take any order that is lesser than 1.7k.
Since last month, I've stopped taking orders lesser than 2k, no matter what.
And 2k rides self, I sometimes feel reluctant to accept.
Much respect, boss.

mejai:
As a reminder, if you are coming to constain roundabout through Alaka and somehow, you missed turning left (if your destination is towards left). Please, avoid the next left turn, cos Google map will ask u to do so. Na one way be that. And those vultures are there with their korope bus. They blocked me!! My mistake was dropping my passenger window to talk to them. As usual, one put his hand and opened my door. But as my 'arch angel' hit hammer in my brain to escape, I didn't waste time in slamming the gear in reverse and kicked down with the door opened. Luckily, no car was behind. I did a J-turn and the door slammed. Fiam!!! Escaped through abebe village, eric-moore and back to where my rider was waiting.
I no know waiting carry me go mainland. Their wahala too much. Na only Sundays I dey try am.

Hello, customer, We are still expecting you on mainland (Monday - Friday).
Much respect, boss.

CHARLOE:

easytig:
I take it very early in the morning like before six am or few minutes past six,the traffic is moving well ,once its past six thirty I use federal railway to connect murtala Muhammed then I connnect third mainland. but now with the recent road closure on eko bridge I will totally avoid it like plague.

This @bold wey I see don finish talk.
This government is trash, dem just dey make the work difficult for person onto road blockages and unfinished projects up and down.
Abeg what's the update on Apongbon bridge? Cos I can't remember when past I see that side and eko bridge itself.
Much respect, baba.

You dey take eko bridge in the morning?
It is well oooh.
Much respect, boss.

Felicity001:
Come what's happening to Bolt, you block a driver and ask him to go for training yet your page is not opening.

Who is experiencing the same thing here pls abi na Soni don loose form reach Since yesterday the page has refused to open

After clicking on the link on the first page 2nd page has refused to load since yesterday

Who can help

This Indriver, seems bidding is not allowed again ooh... Once you bid you won't be picked no matter how close you're to the rider... It's tiring

How una take dey carry am pass.

Bidding on indrive is not generally advisable as a driver.
Indrive passengers are now wised up, they are understanding the app rapidly, so, they will continue to reject higher biddings to what they (riders) are proposing.
Biddings could only work at late night, and all of us should know why.
When I see a ride that the fare has obviously been tampered with and passenger bids low for it, I ignore while chilling where I parked.
There is no way you will not get good order where you are parked, no matter how long you've been waiting.
A driver who's bidding for rides will get frustrated cos it will continuously be declined, cos other drivers are rushing the fare like flies.
I no dey even bother myself on indrive or do fastest finger stuff, my ride will come for sure and it will be easy and peaceful.
If I see order with low fare and long distance destination, I would rather pick it and accept it like that than bidding, and that depends on where I am located at that moment.
As a boss wey you be, abeg dey use indrive. You will see the difference.
Maybe na because me I still dey have that feeling of a newbie sha, cos I was not making huge gross during my bolt time, that's why I'm contented with what I've been making on indrive.
Imagine someone wey dey gross 50k-60k on bolt on full day work, make he/she come settle for 35k gross on full day work on indrive, him go dey pissed off like what is this 35k gross for?
But we wey we no like wahala, we are okay with 25k gross (18k net), 30k gross (22k net), 35k gross (26k net) on indrive on full day work.
Na so I see am, boss.
Indrive makes sense, if na the bidding wey dey make you disregard indrive, abeg no dey do bidding again.
Just a daily target is the way to run indrive.
Cos as people dey crave for this bolt still dey surprise me, I no go lie. Cos na this same indrive I don dey use for almost 3 months without bolt and I'm not having any regret at all.
It is well sha.
Much respect, boss.

YeyeGbami:
When una increase am reach 40K lemme know.

You know wetin I dey use bolt app do now?
I dey use dem check where traffic dey before I start driving out, when I am hustling, and when I'm closing for the day.
Much respect, baba.

pope191:
@Jaymejeta just me in my normal look and laff mood. If you ask me tho, you are a soul and have right to your space, but I feel focus is better. You see that scam that calls everyone boss if you observe he barely have time to post again, I hope he is doing fine wherever he his now. He is a pure example of focus that careless about the noise or error at the market square.

I pipe low because of observation and when we air out, it feels like one don't want other people to survive. Nope! The sky is big enough for all bird to fly, but first you must learn the process of spreading your wings. I was reading SamuelTaiwo post the other day and I just laff. Like he put a car at D and slept off? going by all the post here, he no suppose be him, but reality struck. Time, process and focus can never be replaced. Unless in exceptional cases.

Best always boss

My boss.
Abi ooooh. Omoh, to dey post self no easy oooh. I hail all the bosses that always create out time to post, comment, advise, educate and exchange words on a regular here. Meehhhn, 1000 gbosa for them.
However, I just chilled down on posting for a reason jare. I think I told SamuelTaiwo when he called me and asked why I no dey post like before.
Una dey try for here, I swear.
But that one no mean say things no dey happen oh.
We be upcoming artist unlike majority of you wey be car owners.
Me self wan be a car owner so that my hustle will be strictly based on my own terms, and no more remittance to anyone. Make focus come strong cos this hustle na means to an end, my business dey my head like dreadlocks, na there gangan I dey go.
However, this last Sunday was my highest earning on indrive (38k+) with 4k offline trip.
Yesterday which was on Monday, I made 18.8k on the app and made 7k offline first thing in the morning. Check the time I did my 1st trip and my last trip. I just went home straight after the last trip cos I no too like Monday hustle.
I have introduced indrive to some of my padis and I'm giving dem the scope to run indrive peacefully (courtesy of all of Una bosses here).
Cos some of dem don dey get their accounts blocked and dem dey ask me how I dey do on bolt, na so I yarn dem say bolt wey be say it's over 2 months I smelt it, say na indrive be my cruise now. Bolt ké? Even my period Don expire on bolt, wey dem want make I come do inspection again. Inspection kó, detention ni.
I haill all of una oooh.
Without you people, I don't think I will be among people who would come out and lecture people on e-hailing hustle, cos na you people trained me and I am making you all proud, abi?
Much respect, boss.
MODIFIED
Una remember the vacuum cleaner I posted here that someone forgot in my car booth?
I have returned the item to the owner this past Sunday. I just decided to put it in my booth that anytime a trip takes me there (Sule Olusesi street at lekki), I would call him and return it.
It was that same Sunday that a trip took me there. una see how God works?
I just called him and thank God his number went through immediately. He appreciated it cos he was surprised I brought the stuff after over a month. Na so I zoomed of with a sweet order back to mainland. This past Sunday sweet well well.

northbird:
If you are about to be blocked or blocked on Bolt and you are new on Indriver, and you are kind of overwhelmed by the price and all.

My advice is.

1. Calm down, have your own modus operandi and stick to it.
You must have areas where you are going to and areas you are not interested in. You don't need to bid for all rides.

Personally I don't go beyond V. I., worst case, phase 1 all that Chevron, vgc side Ajah and Co, is just laden with unnecessary traffic.

On the mainland, I can be shuttling within Maryland, Ogba, ikeja, Yaba and Unilag axis. and I still get to match up with someone who suffered to go to Ajah.
On Saturday, I didn't go beyond Yaba, bounced and skipped Island trips like kilode, and what I made on Indriver was quite substantial,... I mean very substantial, Funny thing is when I was going home, I wasn't tired, because I made sure I avoided trips that will keep me in traffic.

2. Positioning, this is one of the trade secrets, there are areas where trips are a sure banker.

3. Mental maths. Km vs time. You need to be able to cross match these two variables. In just 3 trips of around 5km each, you can hit more than someone that runs a long trip to the island under the same time.

Number 2 on point.
Positioning is very important.
As a driver, you should have positioning points all of the state.
On mainland, every angle, I have positioning points.
Na island I like pass, when it comes to positioning. I have positioning points at VI/Ikoyi/lekki phase 1 and 2/Ajah, etc. I get special positioning spots more on VI and lekki phase 1 and it's always peaceful.
Anywhere on the mainland, I get positioning angles and parking places like mad.
All drivers should have/get their positioning angles marked.
Much respect, boss.
