I already summarised by telling you that it's so hard to meet target again and I don't even meet my target again, trying to meet target means more work so I don't bother chasing my target cos it's already telling on my body. I only showed you the screenshot because you said it's by starting early.

Better days ahead bro

If car no work on Sunday, na rest e go rest naa

With the way Bolt is advertising that rubbish on air, all the camrys and corollas wey dey USA and Canada go soon full Lagos

One of the best offers on nairaland

I pay 30k from Monday to Sunday, but I'll ditch my partner for you

Monday to Saturday for 30k is just perfect

Bros but u didn't ask if he wants the car back on sundays

It says work days Mon-Sat...is sunday free of taxes for the driver or the owner needs the car on sundays?

Please clarify?

Asking for experience? With a year experience on driving on the platform?
I could remember how it was last year but now it's hard work to achieve what I used to achieve.

Since you have all the experience then its simiply a slow day, even you know it..you didn't post d days you made alotta cash

Some days are slow..its normal

tunlapapa:
Start early? What do you say about this when talking about starting early?
I am still online and this is what I have made so far.

Some days are like that brother, that today is slow does not mean tomorrow will be...furthermore, you can also ask for positioning techniques from the experienced hands. I spoke to ogunvic and Romeo personally before I started driving and learnt a lot from the thread.. I didn't stay in the same place for more than 30 mins...

But basically some days are slower than others but your gross at the end of the week or month is what matters.

God bless you hustle

double0seven:
You made 95,000 revenue in one week. Now one wonders who to believe that this e-hailing biz is no more paying. They say jesus-boy is an agent for Uber. Abi u don become agent for Bolt ni?

Truth is the business is OK for drivers with appropriate rental esp if the car is yours. But as someone rightly said, the work labour is not commensurate with the pay. Fares are ridiculously cheap..this revenue could have easily been doubled with the right fare..driving tells on the body but puts food on the table regardless.

When I was driving I target trips becos in my small mind 10 trips equalled 10k base...of course iz not always d case as you could make more or less in trips but drivers should focus on trips turnover..if you start early in a day you should make it...tho iz tough iz not the toughest job vis a vis pay..ask labourers

Epphy:
Try 18-20k

Exactly

Blackbishop:
Lekki phase 1 to ifo.. At sango Ota how Hugh cn I charge? I need it urgently.. Pls na To nd Fro

15k-20k

Chuwaa:
True, from my house to church is usually 1,000 to 1200, I was surprised seeing 800-1000 yesterday and the trip eventually came to 888. I just de pity the effort drivers go through, the wear and tear on the car etc. From Eko hotel to Iganmu, 1000. As long as the fare keeps getting low, many car owners will keep their car and choose ehailing. Rainy season is here, many Lekki residents will abandon their cars and use uber more.

the prices will keep on reducing...uber knows the drivers just wanna drive and make a living so the price reduction is to rake in more riders..for uber, they see only the riders unlike in saner climes where riders and drivers are seen

But what do I know

GAZZUZZ:
you have to call. Gsm call 08033910382

Ok

GAZZUZZ:
The W.S toyota is preferred.

Hello sir, pls I wanna bring my car on Monday to flush my T IV and put the W.S, please what time can I come?

Hello gazuuz,

Please is T IV the correct gear oil to use for corolla 2009?

Thanx

chucsmoore:
Yeah U on point. But U can't compare Oyel job and Pilot job to Uber driving. The money and benefits of those 2 jobs no be Uber driving mate.

Na true sha...but make wey dey manage wetin we get until we reach that level..God go bless our hustle

chucsmoore:
U think is all about d money. If I list d health challenges u will face in future for driving long hours everyday fear go catch U.

People that work offshore on rigs face greater challenges but the money no gree make dem stop am..pilots are well paid because of the risk, chances of survivIng a mishap in the air is slim hence their heavy wages

Hustle na hustle bro na God dey help man...uber should never be your final busstop but it's can be a good start to greater things..if my bizness fails, God forbid and I can't feed my family I will jejely start driving again than to become a liability..there is dignity in labour

Agreed uber is slavery in Nigeria but y r people still doing it? D point is it puts food on the table. Now weather the guy na uber staff or not I don't know and don't care. I know people who have similar story lines..this slavery put food on a young families table..he wasn't rich but he lived above minimum wage..thus particular guy worked hard with his dead toyota tiny light received insults from riders but kept up the hustle..he worked his ass off..had cash to feed and repair his car..he complained, he was bitter but was grateful he could provide for his family, he continued because he had nothing else. Some days he asked me for 20k for working capital but returned it as at when due

Behold he got an invite for NLNG , an application he started almost 2 years before..now his gainfully employed earning alotta cash and being hosted in 5 star hotels whenever he travels on training..he was in lagos for a training and we caught up on old times..his a hard worker.

The only solution to slavery is striking.,do u know uber drivers in a state in America wanna strike? But we being Nigerians take a lotta rubbish..we r satisfied just surviving, please this slavery is all some people have..leave it for them.,if you don't like it, stop driving.

I maintain my belief, anyone who is hungry to survive and put food on the table will do well in ehailing, u might not make 100k a week but u will eat, you might not have excess but u will have to feed while you strategise on the next move. And if the car is yours, then the odds are in your favour.

Matured response, so sure you will sell this car easily.

Very matured response, however, I doubt he will sell easily with that price. It's to high for a nigerian used that isnt few months used.

Happy sales bro

Lekkimotorsltd:
What a funny offer... hahahaha...

I offered 1.25m last month and you mocked me..now your selling price is just less 40k from my funny offer..

anyway I don buy motor..happy sales bro

Chairman your car is very clean but pls it's not a 2011 but 2009

Happy sales bro

This a very misleading post. It says vw Sharon as the subject whereas it's not

Be proud of your car sir

Happy sales

1.2m sir

This is in no way a give away offer sir. This is even more than the actual worth by the time depreciation for 19 years is calculated

Happy sales tho

Please can it sell for 500k

Good morning folks, please Drivers looking for partners click the link https://www.nairaland.com/5139892/uber-taxify-smart-driver-needed

GAZZUZZ:
The S.A corrolas and Avensis had numerous defects. Especially transmission and ABS. Sadly in Africa you don't hear of recalls.

Hmmm...and here i was dodging the SA corollas like a plague nit knowing my baby has the bug also tanx bro. Will wait for the inevitable and revert to your shop

You are doing a good job..cheers

Sultty:
which other full disclosure Rule no. 1 in dealership, u cannot know a car more than d car owner/dealer. So if d poster don't type such don't spoil person market

Your rules are dubious sir. The dealer should disclose its an hybrid..even if you sold this car for 900k I won't buy it.c y u sud disclose so that hybrid lovers will know and hybrid haters esp nigerian used ones like myself will flee

Happy sales tho

GAZZUZZ:
the Avensis is made in S.A hope I'm correct....

yes you are and I didn't buy it brand new and cant say what the maintenance culture of the first owners were...las las na to change gear when em pack up

GAZZUZZ:
Don't thank me yet We just ruled out the possibility of electrical glitches, and a misaligned shift cable. torque converter and pump are failing In my opinion, continue to use until it dies completely. a used transmission is about 100-150k. Ensure you have the right transmission oil and its still bright pink. Transmission might still serve you for years in this condition.

Thanks a mill Gazzuzz..really appreciate..will just wait for the transmission to fail then change it or if the acting up becomes frequent..i will sure do this change at your shop..yes I used T4 and only changed the oil last month.

Im at a loss though as to y this would happen...I change my gear oil and gear filter frequently since I purchased the vehicle and have always used T4 and Mobil 1 for the engine..isnt this the correct oil to use?

I also drive a 2009 corolla and use T4 as gear oil...please is this oil the recommended oil?

GAZZUZZ:
repair history of the transmission? Does it happen on all gears? Do you have to wiggle the gear selector for it to engage? Try this next time, start car, Rev to 2rpm for 60 secs after that let of of the pedal and place in drive, does is work immediately?

So this morning I revved it to 2rpm @ 60 secs as recommended and let of the pedal then placed in drive, it engaged immediately..thanks

Thanks for your response. The gear has not been repaired previously, no it only happens when i initally put the gear on D after a long park but it never happens on reverse and after it has engaged, it works perfectly...no i dont have to wiggle the gear selector for it to engage..

i will try the recommended and revert...or better yet please can i have an appointment so i drive it down to you?

I intend doing a scan at jungle bustop at the new mechanic workshop..it hear they have a bigger scanner or please what do you recommend?

GAZZUZZ:
calm down. Who is your agent?

Hello Gazzuzz,

Good job you doing bro. please I have a 2009 avensis that has been acting up recently..i noticed that sometimes when I put the gear on drive the gear wont engage and when I push the throttle it will rev like its on neutral. eventually the gear engages and the drive is smooth and normal with the gear transmission seamless..i have taken it for a scan and ABS fault was detected. this was worked on and some sensors changed but howbeit, the same thing has happen thrice since I got the car back.

Sometimes when I put the gear on D, it will delay before engaging but when it engages it drives perfectly. Please what's your opinion about this?

Many thanks
