My brother, only bolt knows what the threshold is.

I have been restricted on N3600/N3300 before and a friend restricted on N2400. In his own case, we couldn't believe bolt restricted him till he didn't get a request in two days. Contacted bolt and to everyones surprise, they said he was owing them.

My ogas want is the minimum amount to owe on bolt
Nothing like minimum or maximum...but the threshold is -7000.....when you hit -7000 u will be restricted to card trip untill you have a deficit of less than -3001....
So it either you pay 4000 into their account using your unique reference number when restricted, or you just do card trip worth 5k and you will be open to both cash and card.

Kkk I get it , but how come I don’t have bonus today ? Has it ever happened to you ?
I don’t drive on sundays at all , but drove last week sunday from 4 - 10pm and it was sweet.
So I decided to drive today again and gbam no bonus.
I just keep d sabbath day holy and sleep
When you don't meet up with two or three consecutive bonus......you will be omitted from the next roll of bonus......I had no weekly bonus this last week.... As a matter of fact, I don't chase weekly bonus, as a matter of personal decision I shuffle trips a lot...I prefer 3-4 trip just to meet my daily target, pay their 20%. I chase only weekend bonus because its fairly easy.

On the serious side

Create a routine for her....walk the dog out and ensure she poo and pee at a particular spot outside....maintain same time each day.....morning and night....the dog will adjust

Pee and poo training is best for outdoors not indoors.....

well the young man could have entered danfo to complete his journeys within Lagos. Or he could broken the ride into several rides which is the reason ride-share is so cheap in the first place, he's got to pay for the comfort of a single dedicated driver for a trip spanning over 3hrs in Lagos. One of the reasons I created my app sha

Yes, number 1 and number 3 points are correct...Bolt App is more stable now than before, all those short-paying and miscalculations have stopped...
ALso they aren't doing upfront pricing again, so u get what happens in reality, not estimates and theory.

BUT I will strictly advise u ask rider to update if u r going off-route, this is to protect urself. Some riders will later complain u took a longer route and that fare was way higher than what they expected, Bolt can hammer u for that, they don't tolerate fraud and dishonesty and u make them lose money because they will be forced to give the Rider a discount. So if u are going from Ojodu to Lekki via Abulegba, or if rider forgot something midway and wants to go back and pick it, let the Rider update his destination by force by fire. OrDon't be the one doing the update from ur end... That way, a fraudulent rider can't even complain because there is evidence they changed d destination by themselves.

The bolded is not true, surge is applied from where d trip emanated from and continues throughout the life of that trip until u end it, irrespective of where u go or how many times u update it.
Would u say if there was no surge when trip started and trip is updated where there is surge, surge will now apply to d rest of the trip? That's not correct!!!
Like i said, it's my observation. I have experienced it before, probably some other people might as well observed it. Vice versa.

Yes.
It can give you the actual fare. It can give you only the estimate from Marina to Tejuosho. And it can equally give you anything in between.

Even after changing the destination at every stop, It can still give you anything that pleases it.
From my observation I would like to add the following.

1. Ensure you drivers app is always up-to-date. Regardless of any stops, it will calculate correctly the actual kilometer covered and time and will give the accurate fare whether you update the route or not. The only implication of not updating the route especially if you are far from the primary destination is that you might not get a request until you end the trip ( The reason is obvious).

*2. When you pick a request on surge and the riders ask to make some zig zag out of the primary destination route. (For example you pick a lekki trip from ojodu-beger and the rider ask u first take him to abule-egba bus stop then from there to lekki, ) if this said trip came through surge I always advice you don't update just continue, because if you update the route in an area with no surge, the surge effect might not apply again, so just continue the journey, and input manually in you gmap for directions.

3. Always ensure your data connection is above 200mb always. A good phone without adequate data or bad internet connection is bad for business.

4. Ensure in your phone settings, you give the bolt app full permission, ensure under your batter savers settings, bolt is not enlisted.

Ensure you give bolt app permission to allow all notifications, to draw over all apps (this allows the app to work well with gmap or any navigation app you are using).

* Strictly my observation.

Dear colleagues, believe it or not e hailing in Nigeria is slave labour not to be used as a permanent source of income. Considering the risks and stress.
Make sure whatever you get from it is fuelling your escape plan.
Even their bonuses are useless.
Whenever they realize you are hitting your target. They start sending you long pickups.
As if challenging you to cancel.
I usually pickup and tell the person how far I am and he will cancel.
But if you meet some wicked babes they will insist you come then cancel when u are half way there.
Just yesterday I got a pickup if 17 minutes. Outside the radius I set.
I just gave up and didn't answer.
But the recent issue is how do you guys protect your tyres and suspension now that we are entering rainy season?
Two days back I had to drop a rider in a flooded place and my back left tyre was punctured in two places.
This evening I passed through a flood and dropped a rider. As soon as we exited the flood I heard my front left tyre hissing.
I came out to meet it flat. I suspect it's even damaged.
The rider fee of 1.8k minus bolt commission and my fuel is nothing compared to the cost of getting another tyre.
So please do you guys have any tips for reducing maintenance cost during rainy season?
Especially tyres and shock absorbers.
Filter trips

don't chase weekly bonus concentrate
more on weekend bonus

During rainy season filter trips to areas you have prior knowledge about so you can know where and where to route through

Learn to stick to your NO ! Enlighten them that what you are driving is a car and not a canoe or boat.

Peace

So this morning, I took a trip all the way to awoyaya (it’s a very low demand area), it was a destination trip. I needed to see a client around that side and luckily I got a trip to the exact area, that’s not the reason for sharing this though.

On my return I decided to on my app, just maybe I could get lucky with a request towards Ajah. Few minutes later, Voila! An order came in ( heading to Lakowe golf road). What’s shocking was this order was on a surge multiplier ( for this kind area?) my eyes popped shocked

Looking in closely I discovered it’s not the usual type of surge. It was labeled ‘Route compensation’. It’s the first time I’m seeing such kind of surge.

I already have a random idea of what that kind of surge could be all about, but it will nice to hear the takes of senior comrades on this
Let we the newbies learn!
Just as the surge label indicates, "Route compensation" it means that such destination is likely to be rejected by majority of the driver or has already being rejected, due to distance and probability of getting a trip from such area back to civilization, so it factored in the pricing that you might require driving empty back to a fairly demand area or to high demand area.

Guy I came across this somewhere... Call the guy sharperly and buy this car if it's still available
He should buy sharply a car, the driver and the partner is putting up for sale, to cap it all the driver is still looking for a hire purchase car, if the car is that good, why can't the driver buy it or ask the partner to give him on hire-purchase.

That guy if u can see this, I am not discouraging you, but please don't buy sharply , buy it after doing due diligence and it suit you

Competition I said not competitors oga.

Competition as defined by dictionary is, the activity or condition of striving to gain or win something by defeating or establishing superiority over others.

So look deeply into this definition then ask yourself, do you really want to go into competition with anyone? From this definition competition is not totally good
Bros abeg, you are on a long thing with understanding that the meaning to a particular word, is best known when used in a concept or sentence ....

you say make the guy avoid competition and I said it's better you study your competitor so u can always be ahead due to the fact that no business enjoys pure monopoly meaning their is always an existing competition/competitor.

Peace.

Felicity001:
Avoid competition it cause limitation, instead set your own goals and pursue it with all passion and humility. So stop comparing what people already made or have done it's a sign of jealousy or saying they aren't doing well or that you'd done better off if given the same chance. How sure can you be? Everyone has what he wishes for themselves so they could be satisfied with the level attained.

I wish you good luck in your dream, thanks for the insight I was only wondering what you actually meant by the business name online mechanic... It sound weird but now that you say its fine.

Good luck again.

Avoiding your competitors is a blue print to failure ...you rather keep a spy on them and beat them with innovation.

Make i just hint you in case you don't know, part of my major plan is to build the largest online spare part store where you can get almost all the part you want here in nigeria but mostly tokunbo. That's 1 out of 10. There is an API which you can integrate into your website to filter all the part needed by your client from A _ Z.

Achievable but not consistent
Net earnings without deducting fuel.
Only changing of shocks alone as zapped two weeks earnings, but they won’t say dt to bank teller. I pity peeps dt will resign cos of dis earnings flying up and down .
Nobody should complain when partners increase rental to 30/35k.
The funny things about those "see how much I earn folks" is that most of them drive their own cars and will only come out here to show earnings and will never tell you about the car maintenance expenses incurred, I drive my car and know how deep car maintenance and repairs can hit deep into your savings due to current exchange rate.... net Profit is equals to net income less net expenses...not net income abeg

If you like make 500k in a month or 1m in a month, if you choose to display for all to see, kindly let the public know the overhead cost of the earnings as well.

How u go win contract of 2m use 1.5m take execute am, but you come carry 2m cheque wey dem pay u dey display for all to see abeg getat.
