Transport business is still one of the best passive income earner in our economy today.

There is a difference in being a car owner and being a transporter.

I don't know what your aims are or how u device to achieve it, people are making it and if you are not then u need to have a re approachment.

You were on here the other day and claiming drivers can't get a car here and how impossible it is to start a partnership.

I just got a car to manage right on this forum last week and another one about to be signed,all from here.

You really need to quit the negativity and look out more for the benefits.

Transport business is a good business. I have neve said transport business is not a good business.

I have been doing it since 2014. All I'm doing is to share my experience with people, so they won't make the same mistake i have made in the past.

I understand u manage cars and want people to invest. But u have to tell them the truth. Tell them the challenges, tell them they might loose their money also.

Everybody knows in transport business, vampires are everywhere, starting from drivers to mechanics, including managers.

[color=royalblue] Personally, I don't know about other businesses. But you see transportation, it demands Active participation.

If one is the type that just sleeps at home and expect to see Alert, hmmmm.. it's most likely to end in tears

Also, one needs to learn and gather experience. You could achieve this as you dive into it, or let an experienced person guide you.

I really can't argue with his experience, but what will make one change oil every 2 weeks? Obviously Mobil XHP was used...Penny wise

Knowledge is more valuable than money in transportation.

Give someone with Knowledge and expertise the same Sienna and watch him increase the car by 1 in 24 months

In summary: Anybody that wants to enjoy transportation should be ready to learn, get burnt and learn more...If you dey find cool money from the start, it may not happen that way[/color]

Anybody in transport as side hustle will not succeed.

Experience is the key.

I have change a Corolla gearbox because it doesn't enter revise not knowing it's Wiring problem. Kazeem cannot discover it, English speaking mechanic also condemn the gear.

But my ladipo rewire gave me the solution.

In this transport business understanding repairs is one of the key to success.

peeps4u:
Thought NL uber drivers are the problems.

I connect both drivers here on nairaland. They were posting regularly about Sienna between 2016/2017.

See i have been in transport business since 2014, started with golf 3 on ogudu road, then join uber 2016, drove uber for 2months, b4 i decide to settle with investing with uber.

I started with uber when rent was 40k above, and I'm still here.

Gentlelife50 has worked under me in 2018 when he newly joined uber without knowing he was working 4 me.

Felicity0001 has applied to drive 4 me, via uber fleet match after filling my form, i make my research and discovered who he was then i start doing him turn turn, until he become frustrated.

Godswill10 if u know that business that raise u 2million to buy Sienna, dedicate more to it.

There is no such thing as side hustle in transport business, transport business is more like snake eat snake, most drivers are vampires, looking 4 who they will destroy to enrich themselves.

Bigleaf1006:
So because you failed doesn't mean everyone else would.

I have been doing this and I have people who are also into it.

As it is with e hailing where you have failures and success stories so it is with every business.There are people on this very forum who do interstate,@carshopper readily comes to mind.

I repeat, a sienna will do 40k weekly even this period and it makes more sense than a Corolla of same amount.

Yes, u have been doing it as a driver, for sure u will succeed.

Those doing it and are very successful dont do 40k weekly rent, either u own a park to issue ticket directly, or u r on the road yourself.

But given it to a driver to bring u weekly rent of 40k is complete nonsense.

Dont forget to inform the potential investor, sometimes they will claim car get spoilt in Benin. They will ask u to send all the money 4 repair.

During December, i was trying to follow up so i can make money for the Christmas rush, i suspend my agreement of weekly rent, lets go into a different sharing formula, driver and park take 2 seats money, agbero half seat.

early morning i join them in jibowu, delta line to load, the driver still try to fool me, how much ticket was sold, i have to go through the window to ask a passenger, how much she bought her ticket.

That same day he called me tire bust in Benin this and that, my broda that money i was happy i made for Christmas was collected back.

Bigleaf1006:
The sienna will serve you best considering the times we are in.

You can be using it for interstate and charter services or better still give it out so you can be receiving weekly income, sienna will comfortably do 40k a week for you if you give it out.

You can contact me concerning that.

Godswill10

See them vampires,

One of them post about sienna to Ghana, how lucarative, i gave out my 2nd sienna, spending almost 150k in Registration.

My broda after 2months, i run 4 my life.

I end up selling those sienna

The interstate for 990k,

The ghana route for 1.1

landing cost 4 both 2.1m

Pls run 4 ur life.

Godswill10:
Good morning all.
Please I need advice here. I am considering of getting a car to drive since my work doesn't come steady, a friend was telling me to buy sienna instead of car.
(1) can 2m get a sound sienna?
(2) which do I make more money? Sienna or getting car for uba?
It's not going to be steady but just that sometimes I stay like a week or too before getting contract.
Thanks

I import sienna 4 sale and one driver canvass me into putting it for interstate for 40k weekly.

I decide to give it a try, within 3months of doing the business i regret my decision.

40k weekly 4 sienna sound so good, when u calculate it weekly to one year.

but the repairs will frustrate u, brake pad will be change every 2 weeks, oil every 2 weeks, tie rod, ball joints, tires u will have to keep changing, and u wont be able to save from the 40k

peeps4u:
Why this unnecessary attack on personalities? Because people disagreed with your 35k weekly remittance?
I advise you take to the streets and drive your car or source for the drivers OFF Nairaland that will remit even 50k weekly.

Or May I ask, have you found drivers OFF nairaland who are remitting 35k already?

Where is the attack? check from this page to back 10 pages and see if people are still posting cars for rent.

The ones that truly attacked me u applaud them, but given a driver that has been searching 4 car since March to quit searching here and look elsewhere is now attack.

Old members that have up to 10 cars are no more coming here to look 4 driver's.

90% owners avoid nairaland drivers, they are greedy and manipulative

coker007:
I have actually received calls and texts but most people have been indecisive, therefore leaving me hanging.

I believe they're timid coz most people have been given this orientation that anyone you meet online is a scammer, murderer or rapist

There's a lot of bad people leaving bad reputations for the good likes of me out there ☺️

90% of uber connect is online.

2/3 years ago, partners come here to post about looking 4 drivers, but since most partners here has been bully off nairaland, they find alternative.

Most of the drivers here are like those lazy papa in taxi parks, they sit at park and discourage younger generations.

Look at most of them like Felicity0001 Gentlelife50, they are all above 40, life has hit them so hard, that dey r looking 4 owner's they will take advantage of.

Honestly, u will struggle to get a car here, most owners don't want to associate with drivers from this forum.

Bigleaf1006:
Church is still 50 persons per gathering,so might not be a good yardstick.

Church is 50% capacity.

Now 90% people who wants to go to church via bus will choose uber cars.

Most owner's are selling off, bc alot of fixing going on and poor returns. So better u sell off early b4 they turn the car to scrab

nwizu042:
Bros, no b fight. Fell free to give out your car for 35k. If you get someone to drive and deliver steadily good and fine. You don’t have to insult anyone. Millions for car is not a small thing. We understand where you are coming from but please don’t choke it on anyone. Thanks.

Where is the insult?

That he has hustled since 2002 and still a driver on rental is not insult, if he feel is easy he should go and make money and invest in uber.

I will say it again, once church open Rental should increase from current 25k weekly.

Felicity0001:
No mind am... No b only call na zoom.

The tin is wen he set now they won't have the boldness to share with us what driver use their eyes c instead they come here painting drivers with all kinds of unprofitable names

What did u see driving Uber? Olosho insult u?
Go slow for road? Owner 4 dash u the car bc u see all those things.

U don dey hustle since 2000/2002 for wharf, why not go back to wharf, since uber driving job is tough.

Gentlelife50:
yes they can call and even promised to pay 50000 naira but the problem is will they deliver at last?
Driver that need car can even promise to give you heaven at the end of the day

I will say it again, any owner giving out car for 20k, will go bankrupt in few months, he won't have money to maintain the car.

All driver will do is look for another owner.

Gentlelife50:
Yes and if school eventually resume it will be 50 to 80k

Pray owner dont retrieve ur present car, people are no longer investing in buying cars for uber.

With present dollar rate 472, cars has gone up.

Drivers are calling in every day, looking for cars.

Most owners will sell off their cars and count their losses early.

peeps4u:
You bettwr wake up. 35k?

Alot of drivers looking for cars, some are calling in with this present situation, begging to get a car for 27/28k.

I pity owner's who give out their cars for 20k, in couple of months you will return all that money for fixing.

Spare parts this days are very expensive.

Felicity0001:
I seriously doubt if we will ever go back to those days of 30k weekly again self.

It will take the world many years to recover from the effects of covid 19.

Once church have start, on August 7 abi 14, car rental will go back to 30/35k drivers.

Killing corrupt politicians is no solution to corruption.

This were mayors, low level politicians, similar level to local government chairman.

If u bring this to Nigeria, Bubu will finish off Tinubu after using him.

gudvibz:
Try and get to know her, try understanding her and get all to her. Both of u need to sit down and talk about you (both) and ur likes and dislikes, virtually about everything, if nothing changes well separation or u bear it till the end.

You know love is grown

Lol, sound so easy, the guy should just quit.

Duckham10:
Praise be to the almighty.I knew he was not dead,too much rumours.meanwhile hunger is now my highest tormentor.please assist me...0.03532.5979. Access bank

Can u work in a construction site?

northbird:
Guys avoid agbado, kola , sango ota axis., place is a mess,

Oko oba road is currently flooded.

Drive wt caution.

Thank u 4 this wonderful information.

I have a driver that reside in that area, claim road is good.

solid3:
Thank you. At the moment I'm collecting 10k weekly in the name of business haven't opened. I was still made to pay for car paper renewal for the same driver.

Stop killing that car for peanut, park it and wait u will benefit later.

That money they are giving u now, will be put back in maintaining the car. And vehicle will be used the same way it's used during the normal days.

solid3:
Help, how much is rental for a good corolla at this period?

Corolla is very scarce now, more than 20 drivers calling everyday requesting to get a car to drive.

Owners parked down their cars. Only few allowing their cars to work.

16hours of driving and getting 15/20k weekly is not worth it.

By the time business is back to normal, your Corolla we start giving you problems and you won't have money to fix, bc that money dey are giving u now is for maintenance in the near future, but u r using it to feed.

ndubuis:
Why get emotional and abusive over a simple advise? Face my driving job? Lol I have a full time job, clown and still get paid in full despite not working this period.

Feel free and cry blood, you are on a part of watching your silly investment crash under your nose. If you aren't dumb, you wouldn't be investing 2M in a monkey business like uber. I send you? Ewu.

Lol.


If ur car goes bad driver will dump and move to the next car, they won't even pity u and manage the car with u, so why pity the driver bc he is a graduate or have family to feed.

Abi is not the same hustle both of u r doing.

So take ur decision wisely, withdraw ur cars until convid 19 wahala is over. Especially this raining season.

dckng16:
Warning !!!

Please becareful of where you go this raining season. Some roads are beginning to show up their ugly faces. On a trip to Egbeda this morning my car entered one huge pothole cover with water, my Exhaust pipe don knack ground, bend comot from the hook. As am talking now, is dangling on the road while moving. This is another unforseen expenses for me in this Lockdown period. Avoid some places this raining season.

Raining season create more damage to the car.

Is not worth putting vehicle on the road, with this current situation.

ndubuis:
You may have to park your cars for a very long time then because I can't see light at the end of the tunnel anytime soon. By so doing, your cars are also suffering massive wear and tear due to lack of usage.

Eventually, you will be faced with two options, accept the reality on ground (what smart business men do) or sell off the cars at give away prices. Either way, you may not escape losing, no matter how hard you try to dodge it. That's the hard truth. The choice will be yours to make.

Continue fooling yourself, who told u cars parked down, loose wear and tear, some of the tokunbo and new cars in the market, stay in the garage for 6 months to one year, b4 finally been sold.

Cars shipped from California stays sometimes 3months inside container b4 arriving lagos, did it loose it wear and tear?

If u don't know about cars u keep quite and face ur driving job.

Economy will surely open, if it open in 6months much better,

Today dollar rate is 460, do think investors can still access that same car at old rate?

I pity investors killing their cars for 15/20k, they result will come in the future.

Eizenburg:
Let’s assume a scenario where as the car owner, your driver/partner delivered N30k weekly, and he’s been reliable and steady. He also takes good care of your car.

Fast forward to corona era, same driver offers you N20k weekly to keep using your car. Are you saying it’s better to park the car indefinitely?

I have 2 driver's i really pity their situation, i allow them work this week, next week off, I'm concern about usage of the car.

Here is the point the car will be used more with little return.

That same Corolla you bought in 2019 early 2020 is no more the same, dollar has gone up, investors have to very careful

Felicity0001:
What kind of mentality is this? This is like the second time I read this kind of statement on this thread. That patronage is low means we should close shop then go home and watch? Do you even have the slightest idea of how things work?

Do you know that most ehailing drivers are graduate and most are married and with kids and wives?

Do you know that N1500 can sustain a family of 5 for 3days in this trying time?

In fact I don't need to go any further with you. If you have a car kindly park it at home and let your driver starve with his family since you've other lines of income all because you want to save cost or avoid cost of repairs

Car owner is not federal government, just an ordinary investor, that want to recoup his investment and make some money.

You feeding ur family is ur problem, u can go do laborer work to survive ur family.

So bc graduate is driving my car, i will not protect my investment, i will protect ur degree and family bah?

Felicity0001:
You really need to go and learn business ethics from those igbo guys who didn't go to school or even have any form of education.

Your ideology about business is intriguing i must say.

No insult intended but its the truth im telling you and those that like your comments

When importers bring in goods from China, and the price drop, maybe bc market is flooded with many goods, wise importers withdraw their goods, until market comes back to normal.

Putting ur car for 20k means car owner is running at lost.

The only reason a car owner will continue allowing his car to go for 20k is because he need food on his table, but business wise, doesn't make sense

ndubuis:
Any driver that can remit 20k weekly at this rate is doing massively great.

Great wonderful job for the driver.

But investment of 2m to 20k weekly isn't worth it.

Wise investor will suspend service, even BRT suspended.

edetsimon:
please House I'm Simon edet, I'm in need of a car to drive, I have a active account. I can do 20k weekly with no complain. please contact me on this number. 09099550195. edetsimon2@gmail.com thanks

My cars are currently parked, until business is back to normal, u can go join construction job, that is where u can get daily pay 4 survival. For now releasing a Corolla for 20k is as good as jamming the car against the wall.

Ghost1994:
I don't sometimes believe on new monikers here... They are likely to come here and course trouble and leave....

How will someone Gross 100k like in this season? How?

I dont know if its only me thinking that person must be a magician or he's picking dangote only as his request.

On my taxify/bolt my gross is 24k for the whole week oh and i work everyday. In these period if you net 10k a day, youre likely to be owning bolt 2k minus fuel 3,500k you eat 500N last but not the least, your chances of getting return trip to wherever youre living is just 2% so you must buy fuel 1k at least to take you home. E'vething sum up to 7k you only gain 3k.

Next money youll have to buy fuel 2k at least but remember youre already owning bolt 2k so they might turn off your cash trips after 2 to 3 cash trip on that day. Meanwhile uber is no go area because considering their 25%, if request take you to ikotun either cash/card on uber youre done cos your bolt that may rescue you is on card trips.

The work isnt worth it nowadays and dont let anybody come here and be telling people nonsense. Misleading car owners here and there.

Its isnt easy to invest and be seeing remitance of 10k_15k on car of 2m but then its global pandemic.

Supposed im on rental i wouldve jejely go and park the car to owner from first week and go into something else.

But this whole 2020 is for us to survive only 2021 we will be fine.

So to new moniker please stay tf and get your fact right

Best bet for owners, park your cars down, dont take 20k, those usage will create maintenance, once everything is back to normal, put in back ur car.

Most cars on uber are even used more this days with less return.

My advise for owners is to withdraw all cars, until further notice, because ur vehicle will be used more and get little return.

Gentlelife50:
Lest you continue exalting in hate and stupidity let me reply you.
Not everybody is noisemaker like you, I said it here before I don't have to buy corolla to prove I have something.
I set up something that have started yielding.
Go and price Mitsubishi L300 van long frame then come,
Work smart is my watchword no be driving 12 hours everyday on Uber with your eyes red, recently I have been doing PC for some group of guys that are in south Africa. They will send their data page and after everything I will also charge for sending it back.
I don't have Keke because I am lazy, by the way you are yet to explain how u post dashboard of 70k deliver 35k buy fuel 25-30 according to you then eat oh sorry you don't eat and still save 20k after expenses.
One more thing don't forget to create Keke thread and encourage people, someone created this one you come to insult others.

You are just the most stupid person, I have seen in this forum, everybody congratulate the guy even eherbal shows maturity.

But envy won't allow you, now you're here talking about L200, you have set up nothing. The money you use to buy L300 will buy you a corolla clean one.

Or you don't want to own corolla. Continue deceiving yourself. Just don't like stupid people.
