When experienced drivers gross over #200,000 in one week and you are netting less than #70,000, don't cry ooo. Lol

P.S Am sipping whiskey at home. These days I work less than 8hours daily. No more night shifts.

I have paid my dues.

The young shall grow

nitigriti:


I absolutely agree.
Before anyone can come and claim that experience is overrated, the person should first gross #100,000+ week in, week out; for minimum of 4 consecutive weeks

ifyeez:
what are you waiting 4, head there immediately. Airport and fake surge

bily:


Funny you... So just ordinary 4 weeks Only. I thought you'll say at least 1yr.

It's only in this part of the world people believe you must go through the pains they went through in other to achieve what they have achieved.

sometimes it doesn't work like that. we don't always have to reinvent the wheel.

experience is an everyday thing, you get it while on the job. but you can easily ride on the experience of those that have done it successfully before you, and you'll be successful too. it's called leveraging

great tips are shared everyday here from you experienced guys. you may not see it as anything important, but some of us cherish it and make good use of it. I have even casted some tips from you in gold for future application

bily:


By that time, I would have joined the experienced club

Good morning all,

Beware of some riders, took one from illupeju to park view estate ikoyi on 1.3x yesterday evening ( cash trip) . When I ended the trip the fare was 0, outstanding 0,discount 0, etc 0. Told the guy there was network error . He was saying uber was owing him bla bla and that same thing happened with another driver same day . Told him I didn't see anything like that , and maybe he is the one
that caused the zero fare . Asked him to pay 3500, finally I collected 2500 from him. I think the guy is using some software to achieve that zero pay. Up till now my uber app has no record for that trip., is still processing fare till now. He called few minutes after I left drop off point that I should come back to give him his money, that he had found out what happened. I said no , I would send his money when I confirm what happened. My location on the app became correct this morning. Anyway it was a destination trip. Cheers.

nitigriti:


I would have just continued with my normal day. Who knows, maybe I'll make another #20,000 extra income.
As e- hailing drivers, our skill and our time are the commodities we are selling. We should always maximize!

you collected money from a rider without app approval? I see you getting blocked as soon as you are reported

Better go back to trip, click help and tick fare review.
Then jejely call the guy and give him his money back

Tyche:


You can easily change these things with OEM.

Your points are valid, and that is still the same thing I'm iterating. A newbie can come on board today, leverage on experienced people's tips and make a success of e- hailing. This is very possible. All I'm just saying is no one has bragging rights yet, when it comes to experience until you can deliver 100,000+ consistently. 4 weeks is a good benchmark to start with. The way the market is now, we experienced ones target #130,000 to #150,000 a week. Ask Romeo or SlamStanlee. Upcoming ones are still looking for #100,000 ...

I agree with you...though I still think so many things in this business is not cast in stone. those business can be very dynamic.

met a driver at a mall who showed me his app. This guy has been doing it for over a year and doing 400k consistently every month, but he's complaining now that it's not so easy anymore. He told me he just borrowed money to pay his partner cos market is dull.

So what do we now say about this guyz experience status? He has also exceeded your 4 weeks benchmark.

anyways, I got some good tips from him, like not sitting in my car and moving closer to the people in the mall. but I was chilling in my car when security came with some guys and asked me 'are you uber? ' I said yes. then he was like, this guyz need a ride, their phone died. so they can't book via the app

that was how I got a good offline ride, just sitting in my car and na shit carry me enter the mall

so no one is bragging, like I said in my initial posts, a lot of luck is involved, but if you enjoy driving, have good sense of how people move in lagos and ready to work hard, I think you will still achieve 100k gross weekly irrespective of if you're new. you may just have to work longer hours to achieve it, which can be very stressful

Carshopper:


Abeg I dey come house to chop inside the 20k of yesterday... make we leave experience for experience people ...

alstarmayo:
That's not a block, check expiry date of your documents

SpeedGod:


Thanks Gazzuz and everyone that responded, the issue is probably my roadworthiness that expired yesterday. Who knows how much to renew it. I Don panic finish my brothers. Thanks.

400k consistently monthly.... for over a year....... and he hasn't gotten his own car yet...... and had to borrow money to pay his partner...

What I think is that someone somewhere in his village is using his photograph as Hand fan, while looking into a calabash...

Road worthiness is done by state govt. Let him drive his car into VIO office. He doesn't need a middleman

bily:


You are right. It can be done without a middleman

Depends on how much value you place on your time compared to what the middle man will collect.

I prefer to send money message, and use my time for productivity
