Some.drivers no sabi the meaning of those signs on the dashboard.
While some drivers no dey look dashboard until when car don off for that yeye Lugbe road. Na that time their brain dey boot say problem dey.

Glithronix:
I noticed something about indrive lately;
If an order pops up and you as a driver who is closer to the rider pick it, the app will automatically accept it from the rider side.
I think this is what happens when we talk about fastest finger crabs.
Much respect, bosses.

Maintenance is normal, a/c or alternator can park up at any given time. The truth is car consume money than a child from an average setting.

MoonlightDrive:


As long as membership is voluntary, I am not bothered. Set up alternative apps to compete with uber, bolt and indrive they failed woefully but incompetent economic agents will always seek government favour or backing. They now intend to reap where they did not sow.

Since November last year...it's called change and innovation. Tot u guys deleted bolt app and have sworn never to use it again.

Crvrider:


Are you sure about this? What if I choose a fare higher than what the rider quoted?

Crvrider:


You see this thing when pearl dey talk, me I no get, in fact there's no day I leave the house without opening the bonnet of my car. Due to prior experience I've had with over heating, I look my dashboard while driving more than a lady look mirror wearing makeup sef. So, instead of carrying spare of everything like he does, I'll just tow another crv so now I know I really have two of everything.

Regardless of whether membership is voluntary or compulsory, fact remain these apps can’t be allowed to run just as they like. There must be checks and balances just like we have in saner climes. It is only in Nigeria you have bolt/Uber and other useless apps lording over their drivers. Anyways this is about to change.

The benefits that comes with having a union cannot be overemphasized. NURTW drivers are known nationwide because of a strong union. You can’t mess with them. In the coming weeks/months bolt/Uber and other petty apps will be forced to come down from their oga at the top position and face reality. 💯

Pearl1910:


Yea...change can come as a result of competition too. The most important thing is responding to demands of your stakeholders. Leme go and look for the post where u said u have deleted the app and will never use it again. U, Cheerfulgiver and many others. I just dey look una with corner eye. Indrive now dey famine no be only winter.

Gentlelife50:

Oya make una go help this one, at least this place is a yes go area.

Before he will be reminded he didn't buy equipment of 120k.

Pearl1910:


But I noticed it's the people that don't take this work serious or do it as a side hussle that carry this union thing on their head the most. Have u noticed that too? And why is that so??
One would have thought it's the guys that work 247 and probably have many years experience with lots of stake in the business that should be championing unionism.

northbird:
@ meeden. It means if you can do the required number of trips ,they guarantee you the specified income. But,I guess it's for rookies.

And what made you think those championing this unionism or carrying it on their head as you put it, are not full time pilots? For your information, they have been on this since 2017. Their application finally got approved in 2023.

The earlier y’all accept the end of bolt/Uber monopolistic attitude is here, the better. 😆🤣

MoonlightDrive:


Freedom of association is an inalienable right, as long as it is voluntary, no problem. The arm twisting model of NURTW may eventually come to play.
What is the point of a strong NURTW with all the dilapidated buses is that the kind of buses that obtains in saner climes. Oh I see strong union that allows drivers to break traffic laws and get away with it. Driving against traffic with no regards to pedestrians and even the safety of their passengers because they have a strong union.
Interplay of economic forces should be what should always count, I am a firm believer in a laissez-faire economic system.
When Bolt downgraded the year of car that can be registered it was in response to the fact that investors were not bringing in toks or naija 2003 cars on the platform, uber did not want to downgrade further but simply sought for institutional investors to meet the gap.
Unionism is not needed in a gig economy.
Relearn, Retool, Reskill yourself to take advantage of the gig economy ehailing is just a fraction of the over $500 billion industry.
More economic players that can rival uber, bolt, indrive and others is what is needed.
Competition is the best guarantor of drivers welfare not some nebulous union.
We dont need another MC-Oluomo of ehailing.

Pearl1910:


Lolz...whatever will make ur car not sleep outside. More than 20 years driving experience, my car has never slept outside. So when someone is telling u what to do that will help u, u have two options accept it or ditch it.
No be by force.

Crvrider:


I remember Pocah.ontas(where that babe and iz.u sef?) once said she enter ride when the driver starch him shirt. She said guy was looking crisp and fresh...guy even made her honey till she got to destination. Now how about that!?

Pearl1910:


I have interacted with many union people and evidence that I have has shown that the front runners for this union thing aren't really stakeholders in the business...a little catchment of the people pressing for it on this thread is an example of what I am saying.

Pearl1910:
Now, Since 2017 how many elections have been conducted? Or u guys want to do like Robert Mugabe or Paul Biya?

Pearl1910:
Truth is those guys are more concerned for what they will benefit from being union leaders than actually having the stakeholders at heart.

Pearl1910:
I support Unionism offcourse, but only if the leadership are righteous people who are really one of us and not opportunists and people who will take advantage of the structure and enrich themselves.

Pearl1910:
If u r not one of them already, I will advice u to be wary of them. Cos at the end of the day they will impose payments on you, or have dedicated agbero that will be collecting money from ehailing drivers. And nothing will change as per the real agitations that we have.

northbird:


It happens only under 2 conditions.

1. Accept riders offer.
2.closest to the rider from GPS.

northbird:
The union of a thing won't fulfill the intended purpose..cos of greed and selfishness of its leaders..
Why can't they have unions like that of california where they dragged Uber to court and got some good judgment in their favour.
But watch....the next thing is ,sticker, Union dues ,and all that Olu omo vibes for ehailing..
why is Nigeria like this?

Rentals mean owner fix car right?

If you do 120k weekly and you give owner 30k, 25k on fuel, 12k for app. Then you should have like 50k to yourself.

The downside of this job is having a good car, but as good as your car may sound. After 2 years things may not be the same, that is if it gets up to 2 years. All the work I have been doing this Jan have been going to car. Lining and pot, socks... I still have engine sit to tackle. If you have a car and you have like 150k in your account that is making you to feel like you have one money somewhere car never show you shege.

How else do an ehailling driver want to look good. Shirt and Jeans with pams, AbI you want they knot tie and shoe. The hustle and sun burns one out. Just make your money and damn perception, you as a soul should decide what's important. One of the lessons I've learnt from this hustle is a beggar do have a choice.
