15k gross is very achievable. Over-achievable dey worry am sef.

If you dey online from 5am to 10pm ceteris paribus and you no gross 15k, then the oil for your head need topping.

Bros u can gross 100k weekly, how u get by is nobody's business... But telling me u make uniform 15k day in and out, its like another jesusson2020 in the making

Perkins1:
In every 70k gross... There's always a 12k fuel (Minimal)

Nah soh

Elders, i am lost o. Brought a rider to idimu, she lied we were going to Egbeda till she started asking me to take short cuts. Dropped her and I can't find way back to Maryland.

Egbami o!!!


My map just dey reroute

boss just relax dia, trip will take u out of dia

kodred:
Not a bad analysis although there’s more to be made.

If you target 15k daily for 6 days, you should have 90k gross.

Any driver that knows what he/she is doing should have no trouble making 15k daily.

15k on Tuesday and Wednesday nko?

Dbossmanager:
as in....people can be careless o...or is it stupidity?...how can drivers on the platform be divulging as much informations on a faceless forum thereby endangering drivers life because of a stupid argument....practically telling criminals how to steal their cars or kill them...like how daft can some people be?...for all we know, Mr CEO might be a criminal seeking ways to perfect his crimes...imagine someone practically describing how to perpetuate a crime...na wa o...fish get sense pass some people.....

Spot on... Can't even follow d chat probably, at dis point some will ask me not to use my discretion on duty. Ohk! I've had all u professionals and CEO's.

donfortune48:
Lolzz.

Keke no dey use app nah!

U r wicked fah

izzou:
Riders cannot be tracked with just that info

If I go under the bridge at Obalende, and I buy a SIM, register it with my address being in Gombe, then download the uber app, order for a ride and kidnap the driver..... How can Uber help the police with only that info?

I never see person wey dey argue blindly in a long while.

Family affair... Ain't goan say nothing. where's my boss Trojan?

chigodo:
I told them to stop 3 UBER cars with those documents they mentioned and i will go my way . They couldn't. They said it is the driver they have business with and not me. Because driver was kinda scared.

They offered to book another uber for me. I refused. Told them I only trust the driving skills of this particular man.

One of them said this kind man dey put person for wahala.

Na so they free the man. Baba don call me taya to thank me.

This Lagos?. We die here!.

We live in a country where anybody in uniform felt they have all d right covered in line with dia uniform, lasma will do the work of road safety, they we as you for road worthiness on an unworthy road, on same road we have police, lasma, road safety, traffic police, council tout, CBS boys, all looking for who to devour. I don't know when blue plate number become commercial, still waiting for d day any uniform man will as for my phone as I don't hang my phone.

chigodo:
Thanks brother.

Boss please finish d story nah... What now happened?

donfortune48:
I'll take it to Uber office as forgotten item.

U r d MVP... Say you pay me go inside and ask me to bring the bag, I go surprise her, shey she stupid ni

Dovehorizon:
Lolz, there is a reason it's called emotional intelligence, this is obviously what most people lack.
A driver refused to go an extra "mile" to pick up a rider and as such made the rider to make a degoratory statement which was totally uncalled for. Gazzuz on the other hand saw the statement as an ambiguous one but when a statement like that is made during conflict or slight issues, the statement tilts more to follow a certain narrative...
It is crystal clear that drivers are being looked down on, we have seen countless testimonies on this thread how riders belittle drivers, some riders send them to go buy yam while having their maids in the car and when a statement like "that's why you are a taxi driver" is thrown at you when there is a bit of ish, it surely means one thing... regardless of you try to look at it, it was bad of the rider to say such.
Stop trying to cover up things when it's obvious the statement was pun intended.

Boss nice to say you can see through the lens, some can use you are mad on you and you will just laugh it off, same you are mad can lead to stabbing, its all in the context and time ofusage. There is nothing wrong in calling cab man, taxi or any name, but ppl should note just as fashion designer won't accept obioma/tailor same way uber drivers won't accept taxi driver (Just for joke). But one thing I'll lyk Gazzuz to understand is this, you accepted "Mechanic" today, probably because you have made your mark and find fulfillment being one, if you come back to the world again, you will obviously like to come back as one. The only thing I could decode from the text of that lady, was a message sent to spite someone, I am not in place to tell if getting back at her is right or wrong. A rider once sent a text of "it won't b better for her enemy" for declining her ride, me I did not reply cos I count it as an effort in futile, I honestly can't do the job of her parents at dat age.

GAZZUZZ:
I see nothing wrong in her statement, you signed up to Drive on the platform. Your response on the other hand

You encode a message in other for the receiver to decode it, the moment dia is a distort, its no longer a message. soh manner of presentation at a particular point in time matters, be it via text or vocal.

tojahh:
No bro... There are deals. Yes deals which could give you 6 figures at once if you are ready. I worked with First Bank for 3 years before now, yes deals dey!

Lol, let's put the competition down boss, took some guts for some drivers to get behind the wheel... But all in all, if you have to cheat to get by, its no longer a job, but theft, same way saka is not encouraged. No b say we no know bail out, but we just choose to acquire conscience we can live with, tough! some don't know way.

Epphy:
Ok it's cool you were not blocked.

Uber got me for now. Even though I hate their 20 trips @ 25% thing

I be customer da da... No leave, no transfer

Epphy:
Mine has been overdue for a while but riders' complaints got me blocked without prior notification due to recent AC challenge (though AC is fine now). I didn't get a similar message, mine is kinda different due to the peculiarity.

I was planning to ask here if any had his account blocked due to similar reason and if the person was unblocked without reinspection.

In your case, since there's a definite date and time (unlike a mail & an in-app message I got last week that wasn't definitive), you may be blocked after the time elapses.

I got same quality complaints tin yesterday, left me down somehow, so today I took the car to workshop for routine maintenance only to find out that my a/c filter is bad... A/c is working perfectly now, happy and gingered me, tomorrow I'm back on d road again.

Cooladex:
My day in a nutshell.

I picked this guy and his white gf at Eko hotel yesterday to Mushin. (I almost even cancelled the request because of state of Mushin road at the moment)
Nice guy, we interacted and gisted all the way, trip was 2,900, guy gave me 5k and said I should come pick them at Eko hotel by 6:30am this mrng to the Int'l airport.
Picked them at 6:20 and dropped them off at the airport, guy gave me 6k.
I headed to local and got a trip around 8am to awoyaya. 6,300.
Immediately I saw a trip from awoyaya back to Int'l airport. 5800.

I decided to go see my mechanic around fatai atere way, and then head home, na so Mushin LG boys double crossed me with towing van while waiting for the mechanic
We started doing james bond driving as i was ready to risk it all, I almost broke there legs sef. Na so the guy shout. "mad man mad man"

I just thank God sha if not all the money wey I make for go.
I'm home now chilling and waiting for madam.

Weldone boss... You know nah to b continue b dis story, please no put us for suspense for long, once madam come just update us

calabardick:
Thanks!

This work is a great school,
- it teaches me humility
- endurance
- sacrificing
- deep understanding of lagosians
- it heightens my understanding of safe driving
- it expose me to many classes of people
- it teaches me hardworking
- self discipline
- it gives me deep understanding of women (I have a lot to say on this)
- and lots more

There are many that doesn't have but are willing to give
There are many that have and aren't willing to give
There are many that have and are willing to give
There are many that doesn't have and aren't willing to give
There are many that doesn't have but present to have
There are many that have and present themselves as poor

I can write books out of the few months I've been on that platform

Altogether it's fun, drama kings and queens everywhere

Boss where did u burst out form? You r just bursting my bubbles on a suck monday morning of finding myself in Ayobo exploration is the way we grow, this job gave me that, makes me feel like I've been to the end of the world and back... Lekki used to be the height of d world, probably still before giving into driving, but on the second tot I ask myself, what's in lekki? The only effect I'm having now is dealing with the female folks around me, I find it hard to argue with them, like our sense of reasoning doesn't flow in same direction... I just feel like do what you want to do, take what you want, its before that I can argue and stand my ground, but now the energy is not just dia, I look more than talk.

tojahh:
Oh wish I could give you a beet and a thousand likes! Now they have seen a more bigger boy doing Uber...with better networth o.

Bros abeg I like to meet you not for anything but just to shake your hand and chop suya with you.

In the meantime... Let there be radio silent.

U nd food fah, can't u give someone a plaque? Fayose must b ur *menthol*

slamstanlee:
It's actually Egbeda, Igando

Bros take me as u see me nah

calabardick:
One drunk punk (with a bottle of Sprite mixed with some substance) took me from one estate off admiralty (NITEL) to abijo back to estate, at the end of the trip after delaying me with some oloshos he came and drop 1k, asked me to call him later for the balance. The bastard claimed he's davido's boy. Police (FSARS) even block us at jakande because of how he was doing with the oloshos inside the car.

When I told him I will not call him that he'll pay in his next trip, the guy come para, get liver come push me as I was peeing for gutter, tell me say if I no commot for area him dog go eat my carcass. After peeing about to enter my car he held my shirt and asked me to repeat what I said and I told him that Uber will pay me for the trip, while he refund Uber when paying for his next trip.

the bastard slap my back, I ask both Angel and demon for strength, as he was holding my shirt pushing me, with all my strength I gave him uppercut, the guy sumersulted and enter the gutter, the oloshos shouted in an unknown language, I zoom off, report to uber and they pay me with interest.

The most annoying thing is that he wasn't the one that booked the trip, the person that booked the trip switched off his phone when I tried reaching him.

This work needs some kinda madness!

It is well boss, I'll appeal to you still build tolerance with dis people, just have d end view in mind, which is getting home free from issues... My eyes saw things last week and at a point I pulse to think thro all, but find solace in the fact that I've done more then 35 trips, so 35 heads can't b the same, each of them with different baggage and emotions. One thing I observe again, girls r wonderfully made, like they hate questions and all is in bid to avoid problems.

E.g driver; ma, do you have a preferred route?
Rider: Oga use your map, is ur map not working?
Try to use the map route..... Rider: Oga where r u going? So you don't know so and so place? That's how most trouble starts

tojahh:
Hahaha. Baba this work get e own energy jare. I practically quarrelled with my last rider for today. She just dey do anyhow say I suppose sabi everywhere why I dey rely on map, why I no dey speed, why I dey delay make money for dey increase.

I park for corner tell her make she come down I no dey go again. Too much complain dey affect my head hence I gats shun the trip. She was quiet and was telling the friend I'm bluffing till she saw me trying to end it and network was misbehaving. She now said, she will see how I'll collect my money! Hahahaha. I told her, babe relax you may even dash me more when it starts. By the way... Let's forge ahead.

Trip (Shomolu to Ogba)
Fare (2700)

She paid 2500. Said the 200 was for that my show of shame

Baba ur rating go don deh 2:2 now

Y1nka:
Request tip for another time: trust me there is always request in igando . People coming from Badagry / Ikotun prefer to order from igando for easy ride. And most times rides are going out of the suburb to like IKEJA and island. I know cos I still school in Lasu, and to get a trip.... I just zoom to Enyo filling station... never down more than 30minutes.

Maybe I’m just lucky sha..



Everywhere get request. U just got to know where to stay!

Sure, I agree with you, not just ready for new adventure wit 3 to trips to go.

peeps4u:

Sorry bro. It wasn't that deep though. I think the guys were just trying to make u feel lively or sort of. I may be wrong though. As for those girls, don't mind them.

Yea I know, they r tipsy, I'm far badaa nd weird than they could think, because I have bonus to meet and not down wit my time deh r wasting, make dem feel life is passing me by. You know at d end nah money deh yab man, it will just humble someone like u don't know left from right, on top trip 600 naira o

On d 23rd trip, I burst into laff and politely decline going to Igondo ard 5pm. She agreed, since she's making a stop by at Egbade.

Surge for CEOs

Home bond, mo le wa Ku... The kind of insult I receive dis week, well I'll use it as story one day. Yesterday, 9 guys and some girls were going to club, so they ordered for rides, those guys made a mess of my brain cos they saw I wasn't feeling dia groove, at a point they ask me "what the problem Oga, chill! We r together", later ask, what if they give me 10k to join them, drink on them and free babe, the girl that came with our ride yell and say I shouldnt dull too many truck, I can pick one, but not her... I just shake my head on d wheel, chai! My eyes have seen enough for 1 day, if deh gift me d girl for free, heaven knows I won't take. Dairy of a Bolt driver

donfortune48:
#11200 - 300 = 10900.

10900/100 = 109.

109*80 = 8720.

8720 plus 300 toll = #9,020.

Chai! E b lyk say u sabi maths pass me , all dis while I've always have the believe taxify do deduct from toll... I've called her and we've snuggled it out shall.

donfortune48:
Just forget what happened bro.
Your rider was a hungry man/woman.

I once took 3girls from Marina to Farmcity admiralty around 9pm.
They entered and said Oga please be fast, follow the fastest route, please don't enter traffic.

I went through Ikoyi link bridge cos it's the fastest and even the shortest distance. On approaching the toll one Shouted, oga why did you follow this place?

Me: what's wrong with this place?

Rider: cos we will pay extra #100. You should have followed the other one.

Me: is #100 a problem to you.

Rider: yes. Do you know if we have money?

Me: I will discount #100 for you at the end of the trip.

Rider: Thank you sir.

Some things are negligible bro.

Sure I do get, but I like clarity for purpose of not cheating cos I frown at it.

If I make 11200 and pay a toll of 300 and my net is displaying 9020 please can I get more light on this?

mazinaija:
not true, bolt doesn't charge commission on tolls

If I'm wrong about bolt toll deduction, I'll tender an unreserved apology... But come to think of it dose days sanwo olu used to give free took gate, do riders pay for toll? Just asking cos I wasn't opportuned to b one time.

donfortune48:
Drop them with his car and reduce the price for him.

EOD

donfortune48:
Bolt don't take commission from your toll bro.
You can always check this thing yourself.

When you close work, calculate the total tolls you paid, substract it from your revenue.
Divide the remaining from your revenue by 100 and multiply by 80. Then add the toll to it.
It will give you exactly what is showing on your Net earning.

Eg.
You made 15k(tolls and commission inclusive)
Your paid #900 toll that day.

15k-900 = 14.1k.

14.1k/100 = 141...

141*80 = 11,280.

11280+900 = 12,180.

12.18k is what your net will show if you earned 15k and paid 9h toll in a day.

Like I said, I may b wrong, long ago this issue has been raise and it was crystal clear they do. Maybe the have change to new way... Too show u how lazy I can, I don't check their deduction again, I just know card is for them, cash is for me and I try to get bonus for make up

Meanwhile this neighbor wants me to drop his family at badagry on Friday then come back on Sunday to take them back.
From Shangotedo to badagry.
I told him 40k, he shouted. I told him the road is very good.
Asked him if he have been there recently he said yes that he was there yesterday with his car that he doesn't want to go with his car, for my mind na my own car good to suffer.
If any driver is interested he wants to pay 20k, let me link u

Nah other drivers car good for such waka abi?
