Indrive sucks

Jacksonfire:
E be like say u just newly join this argument.. when I dey complain say Benin drivers nor dey make anything profitable daily. You think say I dey joke??

Almost 1hrs ride on bolt in Benin is not up to 7000 naira

Jacksonfire:
Lolz. I said something similar to this before. Even in Benin city 80 Percents of cars use for bolt currently are tin sized Yaris . Now dem full road pass with bolt stickers on it. And we have a lot of bad roads here. Now this kind cars bolt say make who get comfort Camry 2009/2010 with standard AC dey struggle with for road every day. Omon and now aboki dey use this Yaris pass for benin to drive bolt

Jacksonfire:
It's alright.. some questions for you.. how much was fuel back then in 2021

Can you compare Nigeria economy of 2021 to 2024??

What about 20km fares on bolt in 2021 compare to 2024. Was there any increasment.??

I don't think any one currently on this thread can make that amount of 140k net monthly in Benin even in Lagos I still doubt .

Someone here argued with me this afternoon that frequent driving of bolt can't deteriorate your car.

driving to meet target no be fun. Sitting 9hrs behind wheel which kind fun be dat

XGhost:
But you see the "tendency to be abused" part... that's on the driver

pope191:
Make una no vex say I won advice oooo… good or bad, the person don make up in mind.

1. I personally feel newbies should not focus on too much profit or target. Make fun off driving. Take some time or week to know what work for him and what don’t.

2. To me it is important to understand the days that things boom. I necessarily don’t believe drivers should have specific daily targets, but weekly. Some days are superb and some can be wishful. In all, there’s always a carry over. Using Indrive as yardstick… if 250k weekly is the target? Then, Friday, Saturday and Sunday and be the peak days. Pick like 2 days in the week as make up and car maintenance.

Jacksonfire:
This is why I always say you don't need to work hard but smart to be successful in life.. mental enslavement has eaten deep into you.

You forget to tell am say, at the end of the day after extreme frequent use, the Toto go slack, wide and not enjoyable anymore.. guy go sleep you ain't impressive

WareLogMan:
In addition to what Doris4ever said, no road side parking's pls, only use approved parkings. When you take riders to the airport, just drop off, don't pick riders anywhere around or within the airport, not even airport road except airport park where you will be charged per hour. Always look up for one way routes especially yaba. Don't outsmart vehicles while traffic is moving gradually, you might be held for illegal change of lane.
Hotspots for pick ups on mainland. Ikeja City Mall and environs, Unilag, Yaba, Shomolu, Ojodu berger, Magodo, shangisha, ketu ikosi, Simbiat Abiola way. Let me add Festac and alimosho sha
Don't park anywhere around Governors office, mind the do not turn signage there too. When you get an order from there, let the security guys know somewhere order you from inside.

Avoid orders going towards Ikorodu, Magboro, Ibafo, Ilupeju, Gbagada express. You might not be lucky to get anoder rider from those locations back to metropolis, hence waste of fuel. Avoid any Otta destination no matter how juicy the offer lol.

If police ask if you are a uber, pls identify yourself as I driver. It saves lives. They understand from that perspective that you are an hustler.
If being held by police men and you were faulty, plead all you can but if not accepted, negotiations shouldnt be more than 5k
Lastma, negotiations 20k
CBD negotiations 10k when taken to their office 15k
VIO less than 10k but pray make you no jam dem. They can stop you for a document you have and ticket you for another irrelevant document you shouldn't have. All to extort.

Learn to use the Google map.
Always use the express way.
Avoid Mobalaji Bank Anthony way in the late evening.

All the best.

yogayoga23:
Thank you for the advice sir. I know you have your reasons…
But I believe a regular income will change my situation, I got other hustle going on and driving bolt 5-6days a week should keep my head up.

I will be here to tell you good news, I literally got other stuffs going on and that steady income will go a long way… I’ll be starting before month ends all things being equal.

I can only speak to my experience driving on Uber alone and driving in LAGOS.

My goal daily is 25k net.
I start early between 5.30am and 6am
I live on the island so I maximize the morning office runs. If I'm lucky I get surge trips but I really don't chase those.
My goal is turnover to make profit so I don't do long trips. Also because I chase bonuses I mix my trips.
I run lekki VI back and forth repeatedly. Doing this also reduces down time and mental fatigue which I think is part of what a lot of drivers complaining here experience. By midday when requests have reduced I can now start doing long trips. By this time traffic to and from the mainland would have nearly disappeared too so it pays me.
By 12, I'd have done between 25 and 35k depending on how hot the hand is. Bear in mind my gross target is 50k (fuel 20, feeding and misc. 5k, take home 25k)
With fuel at 1k however this will have to change but I've only driven a few days since the latest increase so I really can't say for now.
Bonuses also work for me and I try not to miss them. I typically get 80k to 120k in bonuses weekly. I use it to augment any shortfalls.
As long as there are riders and requests I think it'll pay. The margins may have shrunk but it'll even out in the end in my opinion.

My advice is find a routine that seems to work and exploit it to the max.
Chase those bonuses, it's like free money. Even if all you use it for is to offset you commission payments.
Chose you trips wisely, not all long trips make sense. Check how much the trip will net you and how quickly you'll get another trip, if it's to some parts of the hinterland. If I'm to take such a trip then it should pay me to the point that I can afford to drive out of the area empty instead of waiting till I get a trip out.

On a personal note, maintain a positive attitude, keep your car clean and in good shape and always look and smell good. This will reduce see-finish from riders. Have proper illuminating conversations with riders, if you must. If you're into offline trips you'll be amazed how many offers you'll get.

Jacksonfire:
Bro just a friendly reminder. Your IQ is outdated and it need to be formated vehemently without great feelings. It's obvious you lack parental care and brotherly love. If not you will not reply which such comment. Because I know you are trying to cut through corners just to reply me indirectly out of distressed and dismay ... Be bold enough to tagged me next time...

Gentlelife50:
Nigerians will argue this, some even put the AC on low thinking the fuel won't go fast.

Leave a puppet alone, are you serious? Did you know who this puppet was, until Nyesom Wike picked him from the box of abandoned toys?

Obedibombedi:
So yesterday, I told all my indrive riders that Indriver offers basic transportation services, hence I won't be using air conditioning for their trips.

Since they have refused to Increase fares in tandem with current economic reality.

I saved a lot on gas.

Jacksonfire:
You are a hardened self centered human being that only care about his personality, and doesn't care about others lamentation.. this is why Nigeria as a country can't move forward. Keep sentiment apart , if you can't decipher my lexicons so far.. what year did your friend bought another car with bolt drive? Can he do same with this current economy crisis?? Most of you here posting huge figures from the profit u made should keep falsifying the gullible ones... Correct that statement I never said I ain't doing well. Don't think everyone here only feed from peanut made driving for bolt.

Jacksonfire:
Nor be only stay in Chevron, keep deceiving your self... Bolt has enslaved a lot of you that you can't surmise for ur self anymore... After buying fuel, driving under hot sun in the afternoon to pick riders and drive to their destination. And bolt will decide what the rider will pay you after removing bonus with their commission pending to be paid later, You are been left out with peanut.. unfortunately you are solely responsible to maintain your car after deterioration without the assistance of bolt. and you are happy about it.. this is why coming together to form bolt union by drivers will never work!! Most of you reason like ants.. you are working hard and enriching someone else.. Continue been enslaved.. I always stand for the truth.. peace

Barbiturate:
Then boycott the app and use bolt or uber......simple!

I wish all drivers can leave that app......walai, their brain go reset.

Got a trip from that yaba train station yesterday morning to lekki phase 1. Bolt showed 11k. They gave rider bonus of 1600. I checked on indrive and saw 6600.....which will still be reduced!

Nonsense app! They already told you guys they are fighting "injustice"

My last trip on bolt yesterday, 20 mins from Anthony village to kilo 7800, 800 bonus. The guy sef shock. It was 3200 on indrive

tojahh:

Obidafts with all their noise pollution didn't win a single local govt.

One term governor....

Keep allowing the online miscreants to deceive you.

Stay with your APP.

Don't believe that cock and bull story....

The lady did not sleep with the husband's brother while they were married.

She was already 3 months pregnant before they did their traditional wedding...

Just take a good look at the face of the nigga, he looks very irresponsible and looking for a way to dodge his responsibility for the baby.

Nigerian girls should only open their Kpekus for responsible guys, if not issues like this will continue to happen.
