The person with the major share in the business should have the highest cut.. that’s my 2cent

And how do you determine who contributes the major share?

The only reason why an investor doesn't drive Uber himself is because his time is worth more than he may make during the same period driving.

A labour on site makes upwards of 2000 in a day. Bricklayers get 3000. It is to be expected that a driver makes more than that.

I think drivers are the largest contributors of resources in the e hailing business. I plan to drive Uber so I can understudy the business well for future investment, because e hailing hasn't even reached 1/10th of it's potential . Believe me e hailing will create billionaires.

But I dont see myself driving Uber for more than 2 months. No offense and all respect to all the hard working driver here , I troway salute but Uber drivers are seriously underpaid. Making 10k a day after deliver and fuel is war except in weekends.

That is 300k a month. 300k a month for all my time? 12 hours a day?

Also do not forget that there are no prospects of promotion with the job. A 12 hour job leaves you with little space for yourself and for development.

Basically, you may be permanently confined to the driver's seat for the foreseeable future if not careful.

The secret ingredient in Uber is the driver, if it is it the not the driver , Uber would just grade the car once and for all and assume that the car was all that was needed for a smooth trip. But no, it is not so.

Uber has always marketed it's business as an alternative to a conventional office job not as a subordinate or inferior job. Remember the it's an office with a different view advert. This requires considerable labour resources in terms of intelligence and strength.

Can a lazy man put in 12 hours of work? And if you think labour is labour, find one aboki trailer driver and give him your car to drive.

Bottom line, labour is not labour.

And your 2 million CAR is the second most important thing in the e haling business. Lagos yellow cabs had existed as well as car hires all around town before Uber came. So why the craze for Uber? Even people who can't afford it want a piece of this luxurious service.

I'll tell you what makes it special, a driver with a semblance of class and poise who can engage you in a conversation in a nice environment.

Brother, I really have no words for you. Drivers are the major piece because of poise and conversation? Omo nawa o. I hope you know that most riders want peace and quiet during a ride? And please be honest to yourself, the main reason people choose Uber over yellow cab is the difference in the class of car, certainly not because 'poise and conversation'.

What you fail to understand is, every business has its dynamics.
For the fact you bought a toks sienna and also have changed the gear box does not mean someone else will fall into such in a short period of time and yours could be as a result of recklessness on the drivers part.
Biz gats it's pros and cons and maybe u have been experiencing more of the cons...
In this uber biz, u need to have depth knowledge on how it runs and talking from an investors point of view, if you want to earn more than the driver, then you have to place him on weekly/monthly salary or better still on percentage which ideally isn't wise because u can't get an accurate measure of what they make as most drivers gat multiple accounts and as it stands, u will short change yourself in the quest of trying to earn more than the driver.
You invest 2m in getting a tokunbo car, give yourself a realistic time frame on when you can recoup your capital, you can't invest 2m and expect to get your capital within 6month except you wanna drive the car yourself but if you are giving it out, it is highly impossible to attain such.
On my part, I have been lucky as an investor because the guy whom I gave my car to happens to be someone I know and I have seen him drive even before I gave my car to him and that's another factor people fail to realize.

In the hunt of trying to make your money as quickly as possible, you get a driver without following due process and we all know that nothing spoils a car faster than a bad driving habit. Before I gave out my second car, I had to call the driver's previous partner and asked questions, yes it didn't end there, a friend wanted to take a cab but I told him to hold on, gave him my drivers number and told him not to tell my driver he got his number through me, this was a test to know how careful he drives and oh yes, I am a sucker when it comes to inspecting my cars, I inspect every week.
Now let me surprise you, I gave a 2004 corolla to my first driver in return of 30k weekly and all repairs will be carried out by him except for engine and gear repairs, before any repair is done, I make sure I inspect the parts and possibly stay with my mechanic when such repairs are done. When you try to eat your car and have it, you end up getting burnt and in this instance I have bin so lucky, I gave the car out last year October and I have never had a single issue with him.

Protect your investmemt but do it wisely...





jpworld:


Honestly, from ur write up, I don't believe u invested in this business. If u buy ur own car and drive in Uber urself, u r in no position to advise investors.

I imported a 2005 Toyota sienna, wanted to sell it for 2.4M, a driver approach me last November, that I should use it for inter state, he will be delivering 30k, weekly, I just laughed, then finally he came back to me and propose 40k,i reluctantly agree, bc of his bro.

Today that Sienna is up for sale for 1.6M, still people pricing it any how, bc of plenty of dents

I have changed the complete gear with 250k, in the space of 3months, 4 brand new tires, battery, oil, shock absorber, brake disc. Hub bearing.

Now do the calculations and tell me, if I'm making gain or I have lost money.

Car has lost its value of almost 1M, during Xmas, car travel to asaba twice.

This same driver was giving me 40k,and still telling me 40k is too much, that I'm cheating him.

None of you here is talking about owners lost.

Please let's change the narratives grin

Let's talk about owners lost.

Like I said, anyone who feels peace and quiet is all they need, get an Aboki trailer driver, get him some clean clothes and give him your car.

If you feel customer service is not at the heart of the ehailing business, ask drivers how many five stars they get from shutting up.

Infact your shut up and drive proposition was correct, Uber would have printed it in block letters, SHUT UP AND DRIVE.

read and digest. Its stated 15k after expenses and while driving part time probably after closing from payed employment or days business.

Although he can aim a bit higher, say 25-30k

I guess him no want hardworking coupled with his daily runs, if not low productivity will set in.

Sorry try and understand the context of my remarks. If a driver can earn 15k a day be it full time or part time and the Op is willing to work almost 8 hours a day during the week and full time weekends, then 15k target a week is poor remittance for his hard work hence why I said to aim higher. I assumed that was obvious but go figure

I hope you know not everything on eBay is OEM, some sellers source from Chinese stores like Alibaba, taobao and the likes... So quality isn't guaranteed, except you are buying used parts or you are sure the person you are patronizing won't do such.
If you have a fleet of cars with fitting parts, you can just salvage parts from accidented vehicles you buy and dismantle.

Yes you are very correct. Most car parts are made in China. The ones that enter USA from China have quality control. For the shocks for example they can last you maybe 40k miles and it will come with some warranty. The shocks I bought says oem , which can mean almost anything. If I can get six months out of it. Than am ok with it. Most used parts in lagos don't really last that long. And even if I buy salvage shocks how long will it last. Those shocks chances are have a lot of miles on it. And by the time I use it in najia how many miles could I get from it. At the end of the day am taking a chance. For now I will continue trying the parts from eBay.

Seems a lot of us here don't really understand business dynamics that's why we are arguing about who invests more or makes more money.

every business has its own peculiar dynamics, bit generally speaking, in most businesses, investors think long term. it
I think here in Nigeria, we generally have a get rich quick mentality, that's why we are making so much noise on driver vs partner and who makes more money.

@ olaboy, jpworld and the rest, I hope you know that uber didn't start here in Nigeria, neither did the principle of car rentals to drivers for use on Uber.

let's even take a look at USA where most rental companies buy brand new cars to give to uber drivers.

they spend about $30,000 to buy a car, and yet they collect average of $300 as weekly rentals from drivers. that's about a meager 1% of the cost of the car! and yet you don't see them complaining that the drivers are cheating them.

but here that we buy tokunbo cars averaging N2m, and collect a higher % of rentals compared to what is obtainable in USA, we the ones shouting up and down and wanting to break the internet/Nairaland. while the USA counterpart giving out brand new cars with lower rentals see it as a good business. they even add a lot of perks Nigerian partners cannot even dream of like discount on gas, free emergency services or car exchange etc all these on to just 1% rentals o!

Abeg make all of una go rest, no be by force, If you no like the business, face another one or create your own model and get willing drivers on board with your model.

No. The point about no engine in hotel is that it isn't in motion and less likely to suffer impact and damage due to operator fatigue.

I think drivers are the largest contributors of resources in the e hailing business. I plan to drive Uber so I can understudy the business well for future investment, because e hailing hasn't even reached 1/10th of it's potential . Believe me e hailing will create billionaires.

Amount invested, required qualifications and job skill level are more important than time spent on the job. The only requirements of a driver are being 18 and ability to drive.

That is why it's not a career.
It's the quality control on cars, ease of request, bill calculations that cuts negotiations out, payment modes, records of trip and location monitoring... that makes ehailing riders' choice.
It's a taxi e-hailing service, not a driver hailing service. Drivers are not as important as you make them sound. No driver is more important to rider or car owner than the vehicle he drives.
The alternative to office job might just be an attempt to boost drivers' ego or encourage partners to driver their cars.

Yes am in the states. And have been doing the business for 7months exact as of yesterday. The issue with parts, if you read my previous thread about elantra.
At the start parts were change. Same parts were change after less than few months. We change mechanic, than we change to a new manager. So far so good, also I decided to import the major parts that are needed in the car that will last longer.
I went on eBay, eBay is your friend o. I bought shocks for$100 both back and front. Ball joints, two scanner , stabiliser links. At a good price. Those items am putting it inside the booth of my next car. Disengage the booth , a friend of mine did the same thing and nothing happens to the stuff inside the car.
I am not worried about the value of the car . My landing cost is very OK. After year or more I sell the cars. Worse comes to worse. Instead of selling the car, I will reconditioned the car over and put it back on the road. Business is all about strategy and everyone has a method to their madness. You can't compare my method to some. I have advantage my cars are tokunbo and my landing cost is almost the cost of buying very good or Grade A Nigerian used cars.


Are the parts you buy on eBay OEM, aftermarket, used or Chinko?

Don’t mind him. His argument does not hold water, at the end it borders on same old emotional argument. From the beginning of his dynamic post I knew he wanted to slander Nigerian investors who put 2m down comparing them with $30,000 cars. How many Uber cars are worth the $30,000 you just conjured apart from Uber X. Normal Uber car in the states is Toyota Prius and how much does that cost.
Nigerian investors are not rental companies like Avis, if drivers need that kind of rental then let them go to Avis and ask how much to rent a car per week.
Americans have credit scores and can walk into the bank to take a loan. Can you walk into any Nigerian banks to take a loan of 2m without collateral?
Unfortunately the dynamic of this job with the current set up and economic situation in the country does not make room for investors to take out pension, health care and promotion for the driver, and that’s still not enough for drivers to earn more than the investors.
If they need pension, health care and a better chance for educational growth then let them take up a driving job in a company and get 50k monthly and have all the time they need to do other things.
I spoke with a company driver in Nigeria and he said he gets around 67k every month, whilst some Uber drivers make twice as much monthly.
You can’t compare hotel and transport business, just like you can’t compare cassava and perm kernel business even though they are both from the agricultural sector.
When you introduce models that bring accountability to Nigerians, they are quick to jettison it because they want business as usual.
Same reason your politicians have passed anti gay law with 14yrs penalty, but are yet to pass 14yrs penalty for any financial crimes in the senate.

But I dont see myself driving Uber for more than 2 months. No offense and all respect to all the hard working driver here , I troway salute but Uber drivers are seriously underpaid. Making 10k a day after deliver and fuel is war except in weekends.

That is 300k a month. 300k a month for all my time? 12 hours a day?

Also do not forget that there are no prospects of promotion with the job. A 12 hour job leaves you with little space for yourself and for development.

Basically, you may be permanently confined to the driver's seat for the foreseeable future if not careful.

The secret ingredient in Uber is the driver, if it is it the not the driver , Uber would just grade the car once and for all and assume that the car was all that was needed for a smooth trip. But no, it is not so.

Uber has always marketed it's business as an alternative to a conventional office job not as a subordinate or inferior job. Remember the it's an office with a different view advert. This requires considerable labour resources in terms of intelligence and strength.

Can a lazy man put in 12 hours of work? And if you think labour is labour, find one aboki trailer driver and give him your car to drive.

Bottom line, labour is not labour.

And your 2 million CAR is the second most important thing in the e haling business. Lagos yellow cabs had existed as well as car hires all around town before Uber came. So why the craze for Uber? Even people who can't afford it want a piece of this luxurious service.

I'll tell you what makes it special, a driver with a semblance of class and poise who can engage you in a conversation in a nice environment.

The last thing I want when I am in an Uber ride is conversation. In fact, every single driver that engaged me in unnecessary conversation has gotten a one star from me.

Seriously dude, you need to upgrade your mentality.

Because something is a huge milestone for you, doesn't make it a milestone for others/everyone.

That's how you keep accusing everyone here to go and buy a car first, even those almost everyone here knows they have numerous cars on the platform.

funny how you believe everyone that do not share your view is not a car owner.

I will not come to your level by engaging in a pissing contest with you. keep wallowing in your ignorance.

Also I'm only on uber. Should I join tacit too. I do only uber presently.

What kind of car do you drive..you probably need to carefully go through previous posts and find some experienced hands and get some tips from dem but this mention of maintenance makes it sound like your car is an issue.
You should be able to make a minimum of 12-15k daily with the right positioning...
