Pass the offer to me na. That's my area

He wants someone I can guarantee. I don't have the liver. He is a ruthless businessman. I'll rather stay and just be friends with him than to mix our friendship with business

Hope you're not planning to start fleet management soon , cuz you're giving me this feeling of Deja Vu

Let me tell you my kind of hustle - I lead a team to build and market a web app, subscription for 6 months is #1,500=00; 10,000 people subscribe to the service

That is my kind of hustle. In fact, that is a project we are currently working on

In fact someone one offered that I should come manage his two cars on the platform. I told him "no"
He offered me direct tokunbo 2005 Corolla for hire purchase. I told him "no"
He's a rich Igbo businessman living in Valley Estate, hardly in the country

E-hailing is temporary hustle for me

deedee44:

Not at all
I have better plans, even this Uber driving runs is temporary for me
I run a firm, once the first big job comes in, bye bye ehailing driving

Red Flag.

I know Sterling Bank finances transportation business, but no risk department in any sensible bank will approve a product like this.

This Sterling Bank offer is actually in partnership with Uber and you will see this same details in UberNigeria website. It's no scam

Guys, there's a difference between a target or plan and execution.
My post says "on most days", "I target"; it doesn't mean I do this everyday.

For instance this week,
1) Monday afternoon, from 2:00pm till 7:00 pm, I was at home with my wife and son. Nothing much was happening on the road
2) Saturday, I started work for the day by 3:30pm. I slept overnight Friday and my son came to wake me up in the morning. We had fun hanging out

Typical full day for me is 5:00am to 12:00 pm, I do my first shift of 7 hours; then chill (park the car somewhere and sleep or read or write or browse (I have an office in Ikeja)) till 4:00pm when there will be requests from people going home.
By 8:00pm, I've set my destination to Egbeda, around that time too, I buy fuel from the nearest Heyden station - Ajah, Alapere, Oyingbo or Ikeja Along area.

If you aim for the heavens, even if you don't achieve your aim, at least you will be up there among the stars

Bravo @ bolded. I put it to you that you are not a pro. A pro will not go to rough road on a rainy day. A pro will not go to area(s) that there is high rate of robbery in the night.

Just like someone said... Nothing concern me.

If I may ask Sef... What are your rules? [b]

A pro maximizes his opportunities and mitigates his risks. Go figure
As for my rules of the road, go figure that out too. They are commonsensical

darmilolah:
If I have a car to give out. I will never give my car to Super Edger. Reason been that they are the restless type.

They are the type that go on every trip either its safe or not. E.g A trip to satellite town this night on a wet day like today.

They are the type that drag with danfo on Lagos road.

They don't have time to check car in the morning before starting the engine. Person wey dey chase trip to island by 5am no get time to check car fluid.

I can do a Satellite town trip this night, I just set rules of the road for my rider. Chikena
I'm a pro

I wake up 4:00am to wash my car by myself and check my fluid levels. Also, tyre pressure.
I buy fuel the night before, as I'm going home; from Heyden; strictly

End time slavery.

Much better than some hp deals around

Peeps hanging around Simbiat Abiola, come to International airport. Several flights just arrived.
I just got a trip to Chevron drive

afroxyz:
Good job. What time do you resume and close? Do you work overnight?

5am, resumption
Finish work most nights by 11pm
Usually have like 4 hours of break in between
I average 14 hours daily
When the situation of the work improves, l won't need to work more than 10 hours daily, for now, I need to sacrifice the time
I don't work over night. Not safe

afroxyz:
On Uber or taxify?

Both, mixture

deedee44:
So you can calculate uber gross?

Nope
So I can use sense to discern and disseminate information in the form my target audience would understand

chillex8:
You dey sleep for house?

Sure boss

sammyke:
Pls post screen shots of net earnings and not gross, we can all learn. Thumbs up sir

When we post screenshots here, we usually post "gross"
Caveat emptor.
Those who know what to do with the information know

brogxy:
Hitting a benchmark of 15k daily will get you 100k weekly. And I do that daily.

My own benchmark is #17,000 net daily

True talk

deedee44:
But uber doesn't display gross na

Gross = net * 4/3

deedee44:
But uber doesn't display gross na

That's why I studied mathematical courses for 2 years in Engineering school

GAZZUZZ:
Have you noticed no more splashing of over 100k earnings on this platform? Shows possible drop in earnings. I have reviewed my rentals to reflect current market reality. Good thing about driving and owning is you put your self in same shoes.

It will be re-reviewed as soon as the market picks up. You don't need a magician to tell you when it picks Up.

Don't ask me how much I set, it's a bit complicated and based on engine sizes.

Market conditions are tight right now, but I still do #100k plus. Right now, for this week, I am on about #75k gross on Uber and about 10k gross on taxify. By close of the day, I should hit the 110k mark combining both platforms.

GAZZUZZ:
waiting for uber's reaction.

More guaranteed fares

GAZZUZZ:
disregard.

Not understanding, boss

JuanitaJames:
Which map is better?
Google, taxify or something one I saw in the options? Please.

Google

taxiappguy:
And we like it.

Thank you sir

Carshopper:
oya come collect accolade

Oga mi, I dey come. Hope say dis accolade go fit buy Orijin and Suya

Between, Oga Gazzuzz should help us bring Romeo3 and Ogunvic out ...

They should come back on the thread ooo

Best two most-recent accolades

My usual Sunday night runs

Meanwhile, a certain Joseph picked up a lady's ride request in Ajah, called her to tell her he was on his way; then started the trip and refused to show up at the pickup location. He also refused to pick the lady's call and kept putting her call on hold. After a while, he ended the trip, with the lady still waiting for him.
I know what you did, and it's unethical he-goats like you that we need to get out of the system. Goats like you spoil the business for serious-minded people like us.
I have your phone number and screenshot of the trip receipt, as well as the lady's phone number. I'm reporting your sorry a**e to Taxify this evening

shollywendy1:
Ajegunle to lekki ii, it's a nice request oo..u should have completed the trip and claim ur fare instead of the #300

Na aaaaaaahhhhhh, the guy would have rated me 1 star. I considered it and thought it was not worth trying to convince him to come do the trip.
Meanwhile, from the same area, I got another trip to Lekki
