Wear/Tear/Maintenance - Driver's nightmare

For a vehicle that churns out 400k- 600k monthly, it won't be bad to set aside 20% monthly for maintenance.

A fellow driver here was paying 80k weekly for a drive to own vehicle and still maintained his vehicle, talk more of a driver-owner.

Moove drivers pay 56-65k weekly (ref needed) .

E-hailing isn't a get rich scheme and will always favor sole-propietors.
Several drivers use it as a stepping stone to greater heights.
It breaks my heart, when we don't capitalise on this while the opportunity presents.
Who knows what policies the government will roll out to distrupt this paying hustle.

An average driver is a low mid-class earner.

I still maintain that a driver that resumed driving by August 1st 2025 , will have saved over 4M by January 31st 2026.

If you pocket 25k every night after fuel for 24 nights, you have 600k cash for the month.
Consistency is key.

Slow and steady.
Journey to #1,000,000

No pressure

Someone said naira/km doesn't matter
So, it's water your car will consume from point of request to pick up

Spi*ts

Any average owner-driver can save 4M from today, August 1st 2025 to January 31st 2026.

August - 400k
September- 500k
October- 600k
November- 800k
December- 1.1M
January- 600k

Goodluck

4M is about the right amount to invest.
If you are committed, you will revover your capital back by end of January 2026.

Leave 08 accord, Camry and Corolla alone.

A 2005 Honda Civic or Honda city will perform.

CNG boys, get ready to massively cash out this EMBER period

This one na die die poverty

@ OmoA,
180k no go work.
Note that maintenance is on me.

Anyone who can deliver 300k weekly on a 2016 LC Prado should pls mention me.
It's been gathering dust

How can I ever drive over 400km in a day for a paltry sum?
That's the distance from my sitting room to my village down South.
Sp-its

I keep advocating for drivers to avoid use-less trips.

@ poster above.
Lifted for illustrative purpose only

As Lagride have evolved to electric cars, partners should consider alternative fuel (CNG, diesel, hybrid).

Finally, Obedibombedi is vindicated
It's very heartwarming to see fellow monthly millionaires.

Keep pumping the figures.

Every driver has his profit margin.

Competition is good for business

When I advised against use-less trips, some came for my head.
Rain or sunshine, I'll never complete a use-less trip.

Race to #1,000,000 for the month is on.

RIP GMB

A newbie neting over 700k monthly is doing superbly well.
Minimum wage is still 77k

Follow who know road.

Someone even said it's impossible to save 5M annually

Don't accept use-less trips and complain by month end that you can't account for your fat dashboard.

Doing trips less than #450/km on any platform is not profitable to me.

A use-less trip remains use-less, no mater the sugar coating.
The month is sailing smoothly.

Target for June is #1,200,000

dav1002:
So you dey thief dashboard come post here?
To proof what point exactly?

That's why newbies keep being mislead

To prove that I don't have to claim I gave someone a car on rental, when I'm on rental myself.

Glithronix:
From this your one month dashboard, I can tell what's going on in your record.
But I still want you to post your ORDER HISTORY of a day's work to educate us on "useful rides", since you jumped out of nowhere to condemn our own discussion as USE-LÉSS.
When you do this, then I will analyse your dashboard for you and I will indicate the fault with the KMs you covered in a month and your gross, and I'll also show you my MAY dashboard and let's compare.
Waiting.

I have repeatedly said, those trip-requests you posted are use-less and not profitable to me.
With blindfold, I won't accept them.

I even went further to clarify with several typical trip-requests I usually complete.

The May dashboard I posted was for illustrative purpose and not mine.

Lastly, I'm on this thread to share my experience and make more money.
How anyone interpretes my post is their concern.

sunny3:
Ok, pls what is the difficulties? Is. It not can be handled.

Most times you need about 3 or 4 attempts before the ecu works.
Except you are shipping from the states

But logistics due to distance won't allow a seamless exchange.

sunny3:
I am in ph

It will be difficult to deal.
Will send you a contact anyways.

lilachiever:
Abeg who get plug for affordable car rental service.

Probably an SUV or Sienna (2008 above).

SUV dey
LC Prado 16'

Ajibaiye:
Bosses please which of these below maps you use on a daily basis that don’t disappoint.

1. Google Maps

2. Waze

3. Map

Google Maps is preferable in Lagos. It's about 95℅ accurate.

Glithronix:
Person wey we ask make him show us useful trips from his "order history" and na another thing him posted.
Make everybody sha go make their profits.
Any new driver wey seek for enlightenment go get am here..

Much respect, boss.

For illustrative purposes only.

Compare both dashboards and tell who has been completing Use-less trips.
First one is a weekly average. Second is a monthly average.


Respect is earned.

Obedibombedi:
This week's target updated:
To Save #350,000 cash after expenses.

Who's up?

Less than 24hours left.

Kaymaxi2222:
but from all indicators that Berger to island trip is better than that last trip you screenshot

It still remains a very use-less trip to me.
I won't drive 4.8Km, 27mins to pick up any rider whatsoever.

Glithronix:
Show us the useful trips from your order history make we learn.

Much respect, boss.

Trips I consider use-less, might be profitable to others.
It all depends on ones profit margin.
