As long as the 1.9 worth am. You no get issues.

Me sef shook head for Gowon estate this morning, wasted about 3hrs before I could get a ride out.

Yeah, it did worth it.
I took the link to Isheri road to connect with Lateef jakande, parked at the mega Chicken and luckily for me, I got a trip that took me to my area gangan on a x1.9 again.
Getting to Lateef jakande no be small thing but it was far better than putting your head straight on the main Otedola bridge.
Much respect, sir.

SamuelTaiw0:
Use Omole phase 2 gate to link CMD road and exit to the express. Its usually the best option.

Buy their ticket if you can.

Naaahhh. I ain't buying their ticket jare.

Much respect, boss.

You'll now be like, I'm going to the address on the App, Ejigbo.

Johnnybegood12:
Boss yesterday was hell, mistakenly went to sangotedo to meet a friend, and I concluded within my self that ajah is not lagos, and Lagos is not healthy.
AV not been to ajah 4 more than2-3months.
The traffic was something else yesterday

Sangotedo shouldn't be attached to Lagos at all.
What a rough axis.
I wonder how people dey enjoy living in that area and they will still be looking for bolt drivers up and down.
Some streets dey that sangotedo wey be say you go prefer an Ikorodu.
You see that Ajah - Sangotedo, if trip carry me go there in the night, I dey go offline straight.
Lagos is just a total mess.
What a government.
Much respect, boss.

This man will soon be an executive in lazy drivers league.
You are already at home and will still do ileya till Monday
Weekend plus festive period is the only time you can make money easily
You don’t know that Uber drivers only sleep during car wash, car servicing or while waiting for long trips, cos your body only needs 7hrs sleep a day
You must work now and play later

Modified: Much respect Boss

How I wish the car can use groundnut oil instead of petrol, na Island you for see me today and on Sunday.
But fuel no dey everywhere. All filling stations locked out. Wetin guy man go come do now?

iCloud007:
What is going on gan gan

That's effects of traffic and fuel scarcity.
All those riders wey dey look for ride go cry today today. See as dem plenty.
If to say fuel dey ni, I go rugged am and hustle today, as I dey like this, I don already dey house preparing for tomorrow Ileya. Work starts on Monday jare.
Much respect, boss.

Felicity001:
I dislike early morning work with passion, the danger it entails is even more than late night driving.

As for me, late night driving is less dangerous than early morning work. These are my reasons

The first time lastma arrested me on this job I started early and my 2nd trip was from illupeju to lekki... I paid 12k and my rider left me at Sura booking another ride.

2nd time, taskforce arrested me around 7/8am for one way- I paid over 170k plus 3days no work

3rd time, task force again, it was in the morning too at airport road 7&8 bus stop that sloppy path.

4th, in the morning again CBD taskforce along agidingbi road... I escaped paying 10k by miracle

5th, the list goes on and on...

What does this experience teaches me? Taskforce agencies mainly do their work in the morning and once sun comes out they're already thinking of going into their hiding. In the evening is making to control traffic and once it's 6/7pm they close.

On the other hands,

No police, lasma, local govmnt boys
Roads are free, though with no surge.
You state your rules not riders, you can choose to ride without ac claiming no filling station to buy fuel... But you have to know your onion very well, be rugged, be mad, have good tyers and spare, fill up tank, and make sure your car is sound because if he breakdown for road na you Sabi ooh

From number 1 to 5 only you?
My brother, you see that early momo hustle, the thing no dey with my spirit at all, and when my spirit no align with something, it's better I back off mehn.
I tried it 2 days ago, it still didn't work with me jare.
Make I dey follow my set time jare, but I'm adjusting on the empty driving sha.
Night driving - na hoodlum like you fit do that one, not for a coward like me.
Much respect, boss.

ReadaDream:
Traffic don humble my guy.

pope191:
Man how to reach house today is in God's hand... I just pass to omole round about now. Crazy enough I don't have intention to drive today, only went to drop offline client at the airport.

All of us go dey alright las las.

mejai:
Y?
E tie wrapper?

Yesterday mad, my brother.
I can't even talk am finish.

AgentXxx:
Send me a message on WhatsApp.. I can share one that I used then to use set destination several times

Done, boss.

See as money dey waste.
See traffic.

donfortune48:
Almost all Fuel stations along Oshodi-apapa express way, from Ilasa to mile2 are selling and decongested, With less than 5cars in each. Especially the right lane from mile2 towards Oshodi. But how to access that lane is the problem. Cos mile2 is a no go area.

That's a forbidden location at the moment.
E sure me say Person go spend more than 1hr to get there alone.
Inside life.

Any expo on where dem dey sell fuel on mainland abeg? I still deh where I dropped my rider like this, staring at the traffic and pressing my phone oooh. I no wan set destination yet, waiting for who go hint me where dem dey sell fuel ohh.
All filling stations I saw on my way no open gate for any car, and cars self refuse to leave the long queue.
Imagine from here to Alapere = 46mins.
Something wey no suppose pass 17mins.

This country is f*cked, Lagos especially.
Government is just making life difficult for people to live.
Roads - you spoil roads in the name of infrastructure and you just abandon it halfway and jump to another road, causing traffic up and down.
Fuel - what is going on with fuel now? Fuel scarcity today, tomorrow, further more.
This period wey person suppose dey cash out inside surge, person no fit.
Traffic come full everywhere.
Yesterday, my balls were ringing onto traffic level, managed to gross 29k yesterday when my target was 35k or above.
Nothing go make me fail grossing 40k today if to say fuel dey, but see what we're experiencing.
I just dropped a rider at Abisogun Leigh (aguda side) from Alapere Housing Estate @3.3k surge. Now, I can't continue work before the traffic become worse, make I dey go house. The fuel wey remain inside the car go reach me cruise around tomorrow as per Ileya stuff. Need to use tomorrow and Sunday to flex small - then resume on Monday.
What a nonsense state and government.
Please anyone with where dem dey sell fuel, abeg share ASAP.
Missing today's hustle go pain me, but if I no see fuel, I no get choice than to go and park for house.
Make I set destination to my area, Alapere.

Avoid wemco, lateef Jakande, Adeniyi jone: in fact, avoid the whole of Ikeja.
In fact, avoid driving today.

Felicity001:
No lele afterall life na jeje... Snail self trek reach Noah's ark too...

Ehmmm, before I forget - abeg show me how to use the set destination 4 times a day, abeg.

Felicity001:

Much respect, boss.

Dailyparrot:
You still aren't getting the point. Your problem is not leaving early or earning low, your problem is your working strategy.

Take for example, I was at Ogunnusi road, Ojodu yesterday and was getting trips with pickup at Ikeja City Mall which is like 25 minutes from there. Even though they came on 1.7x surge, I canceled them all. In a short while, I got a trip with five minutes pickup going to Protea Hotel on a 1.5x. Protea is opposite ICM which means that I was able to benefit from the surge in ICM without driving empty to that place. That trip gave me 1900 which I would have lost driving empty there to pick the riders.

It's not about the gross alone, the fuel and time spent matters. I don't leave my house until it's 9am and I must gross at least 25k with or without bonus.

Yeah, boss.
I got the point.
This empty driving I was talking self no be regularly.
Na once in a while when trip carry me go forbidden areas or where I know I will suffer DS due to traffic.
Well, I got all their points already and will definitely adjust.
Much respect, boss.

Pearl1910:
Opportunity missed abi Bullet dodged.
Car that is battered before being driven, it will definitely fall apart when subjected to rigors of ehailing.

That's a wise angle of view.
Much respect, boss.

Traffic! Traffic!! Traffic!!!

AgentXxx:
You seems to be missing the point.. it’s not about your earning as you are not doing bad with your earning, it’s about working smart by reducing the amount of time you spend on the wheel blowing empty from one place to another, 3MB is about 15 to 20km and no smart driver will blow empty on it… from what you have stated earlier , you spend about 12hrs driving to gross your earning, think and work on ways to reducing your driving time to still get your normal earning … KEYNOTE from readadream “it’s only a matter of time before you burn out” …

Okay. I think I got that right.
I go try dey start driving early be that. Normall, if 8am no knack, I no dey go out. Sometimes, 9am/10am/11am/12noon before I set out.
Na because I no like this early momo hustle (5am/6am), but I go try adjust sha.
Thanks a lot boss.

ReadaDream:
.....but sincerely there's no where anyone dropping one or two takes adviced that he rough handles the car. What they are all clamoring for is maximizing your time behind the wheels.

If you can meet your daily target between 5/6am-12pm, why not? Why should you remain on the road from 8am to 9pm driving from one hinterland to the other. It's only a matter of time before you burnout.

I was on rental for 10months, paying 35k back to back. So there's nothing anyone can tell me about working smart and keeping the owners car in good shape. I also make bold to say that I Have Never chased nor Won Bolt Bonus before. I don't care about that BS, it's designed to make you suffer.

I come in peace o. Glithronix it's all love from here bro. No shade

Boss, I got the messages and the lectures right.
Amma adjust and ensure I improve on that I improve on that.
I understand that y'all want me to maximize my earnings, I will adjust and improve.
Much respect, boss.

GiggsTk:
Boss, I must admit that I commend your disposition towards and continued emphasy on ensuring the car is carefully used and well kept even though it's not yours to own.

You understand the drill, boss.
Much respect, baba.

YeyeGbami:
They are right tho, most important thing is that you’re keeping up your end of the deal with your partner and making sure you’re also keeping something reasonable for yourself.

Some drivers get all the scopes and format, they will still default on chikini money of 25K weekly and start telling ngbatî ngbatî

At the bold - you got that right, sir. But as dem bosses no gbadun the way I operate, which I know they want me to increase my earnings, I will definitely work on that and improve.
Much respect, boss.
