CheerfulGiver:
Done.

Boss please how do you do it on indrive? Do you pick just the first offer and move to rider? Cos I noticed your trips are back to back

I appreciate the advice the pros here give. Thanks a lot.
Please I have a question.

Sometime back I took a trip to the airport which was my first time. I’ve read here how you can’t park anywhere in the airport and how hostile it is. That night a Good Samaritan led me to the car park which I dropped off and paid 700 naira before I could leave.

Now this is my question. I get trips on bolt to some hotel or agency which states airport road. Please will this trip lead me to the airport? Or it’s just a normal trip? As I decline such requests becuase gurus here have told me to avoid airport because I’m not to familiar with it.

Another question please. When you are to drop a rider in computer village, where do you drop them? Because most streets there don’t look like cars enter soo I drop them along the road.

I'm glad you said you make 60k just working 4 days. To make that same 60k on Bolt you need to do over 100k gross ,that will take you 4-5 days ,working long hours.

100k gross scenario
Bolt commission- 25k

Fuel - 20k

Cash balance- 55k.

You can see the figures are not really impressive.

That's why investors no longer put up cars in the business and Bolt is luring owners of 98 -2002 cars to sign up.

Wait is it that this e hailing is no longer lucrative? This your estimate for bolt is correct.

OralB please how much commission will you pay on 100k and how much fuel will you use to gross 100k on bike and how much is your net profit at the end?

Pearl1910:
There is no brown coolant o. It's either red/pink or green. Your coolant is leaking, just be adding water until u find d leak and fix it before thinking of coolant.
When u want to add coolant, don't mix colours, if it's green top with green, if it's red, top with red.

It could be red or pink as you said. I got the car in November and the coolant was full I just checked today and it was empty. On Sunday I saw cold water drop after the heavy rain drop a bit from under the dash board on passenger side. I thought it was a leak but since then I haven’t seen any drop there. I just remembered it’s red or a bit pink cos I washed injector not long ago.

How do you know the coolant is leaking sir? Please share your idea sir thanks

In addition I monitored the coolant and it was going down gradually. Just forgot to check it until today

Good evening guys. I just checked that white coolant container in my bonnet and realized it is empty. No coolant in the car anymore. No sign from car I just checked and realized.

My former car I used to use water or a green coolant I buy anywhere.

But this particular car when I got it, it was brown coolant that was inside. Please can I buy the green one and put it inside like that? Or I have to look for the brown coolant and buy?

Wrt to your view, I think your perspective is wrong. The dynamics of this hustle has changed for me. I barely go beyond opic to Kusenla via Ikorodu road or Lagos- Ibadan express way. Yesterday I saw a trip going to Ajah from petrocem. 20 mins trip and both sides of the road seem free. So I pick the trip, but deep within I was troubled. Why? Going to a new place I haven't been in a while. Rules might have changed. I only told myself to be mindful of the unfamiliar route. As fate we have it, I didn't get to make the trip as rider was going to Berger, she was going to Ajah to enter bus from Petrocem told her to enter Obalende from freedom way bus stop.

Newbies will always have a learning process. Descending jibowu from Surulere is another trap. It used to be get away from Empire traffic. Motorist still use it, but Lagos and her lawlessness. One day Lastma will strike and they honestly don't have a price. You are worth the price you arrive in their own world.

Descending jibowu from surulere trap that yiu just mentioned, please as a new bie who doesn’t know any where, if I make use of google map will I fall into the trap at that location you mentioned?

northbird:
The oniwaya /oba ogunji trap has been documented here already.

Was there a page for that? Please direct me to go through traps in Lagos. If I had stopped for them na another story

Omo surge everywhere. But the traffic out there is mad. Not sure I’m entering road today. Probably cos Monday is public holiday too that’s why everywhere is blocked.

Omo I was almost caught my lastma at agege. I was descending from the bridge and that round about where police and lastma gathered. The map confused me and I followed one way to enter oniwaya road. Grateful I sped immediately I heard stop and road was free then. From now I will be turning off the traffic color on google map.

obinoral1179:
You need to look for a sales rep to help with this.... This business will take your time or you split your days of working so as to be effective and concentrate because any small thing you go lose focus....

Yes I understand thanks. I use the car for pick
Up and delivery that’s why.
Please how do you deal at computer village?

Got an order there yesterday and I think the map was telling me to enter that otigba street which slot is located. The street doesn’t look like where cars go into even a car blocked the road at the junction, I just had to end the trip along the road and passenger paid.

obinoral1179:
I can't remember the last time embarked on trip to lekki, even VI self... The highest isYaba and surulere but if I see and it's worth it I will go...

Thanks I’m just starting out on this and doing it gradually as I follow the advice here. I had customers who needed me to deliver and pick up yesterday that’s why I didn’t want to go soo far.

The only one I canceled that was not worth is the airport end airport road as I don’t know the difference. I shouldn’t fall into the hands of those extortionist

Hello guys I appreciate the encouragements

Noticed nobody here has talked about food
I went back home twice today to eat 😂.

Bold driver score is somehow. I told rider to cancel a trip to opic cos it seems out of Lagos. He canceled and the next 3 orders I got were from him and befor I could cancel he cancels. This thing dropped my score now 68. Bolt gave me order around today I only canceled Lekki and ajah cos I didn’t plan going far today. And airport cos it’s confusing

Please gurus here what’s your advice on airport? I see some orders which says airport road and I cancel cos I read here that it’s an offense to pick or drop at airport road. Please can anyone clarify this please.

And also if bolt blocks your account cos your score is below 50 is they a way around it? And how long does their blocking stay?

@ honoruable
First things first,You have no business with Indrive at this stage of yours.
You don't have the experience, there are sharks in the waters you chose to swim.. For now,pitch your tent with Bolt.

Focus on the objective which is 10k net. Infact, on a norms,10k net is easy on Bolt. By 1pm or thereabout, you should have this in the bag. Go back home, relax and focus on your other business. Easy ...

I turn on the indrive most times because of the inability to choose where you want to go to on bolt and the commission

northbird:
Don't limit yourself, you can net 10k daily on Bolt daily.
Ask for strategy, make senior men give you, that's 50k weekly for you. No stress at all. 5 days of work as a beginner.

If you started driving last year January, you should be perfect now. Driving doesn't take time. Just make sure when you are driving, you devote full concentration.. No distractions, don't be absent minded.

I have been making use of the advice I get here. Please I will appreciate any strategy that can make me net this with ease.

Following the fastest route, this is a 30mins drive. A driver just picked this for 1200.

northbird:
@ honoruable pomk, you want the real stuff? I'm happy you said you have another hustle, the moment you have another gig, ehailing will be so sweet for you..seriously believe me.

Let's start by telling me your income objectives daily..
1 how much are looking forward to everyday ,
Net ,I mean

2. How long have you been driving?

I’m ok with net 7k a day for a start. That’s gross 10k with bolt and 8k on indrive

I started driving last year January

northbird:
What's the issue you have with ehailing?

Low and ridiculous prices. I really don’t have that courage now driving on express. Bad attitude riders

Please guys I run a laundry business. The reason why I’m trying this ehailing is because I need money. Please I need you guys patronage. I do free pick up and delivery within the mainland (ogba, Obawole, fagba, ojodu, Ikeja and the areas within).

Please quote me as ask for contact soo you can patronize me. I’m really down and need money but this ehailing thing isn’t just for me.

Please help by Patronizing my business
Thanks.
