I Sabi avoid nonsense

Recently I like to ask, how many are you?.. Especially now that Right Rear shock needs replacement l.

CheerfulGiver:
Time is money. A 14 min trip less than 2 km 2800.
But they'll prefer 15km for 3000.

You don't know nothing

Roxbury to Westend is not less than 5km...but go on.

Except you use one-way from Oando Ikota to The place restaurant and join service lane...going the right way is above 2km.

Who's the next lucky rider? Wait time on this app is amazing

na plenty people they go that Laguna beach. See as they use different accounts order. I hate too many passengers on 1 ride.

YeyeGbami:
Na 5K dey the account, i dash them.

no stress

pope191:
Boss rest if you need to rest, stop doing like me in the good old days small time you will see trip you can't resist. Before I'll leave the app on till I get to gate or I'll be counting money, doing plus and minus like Obinoral. I hit the car at my front, before learning my lesson everything have got is place and time.

NB : But you see this new trend of fuel guage of a thing? I gat my eyes on it, no skipping

Boss I no they go anywhere today., I don't even have enough fuel and I'm not ready for the stress. I want to confirm the destination thing but so far no request has come in.

Me and you thesame on that fuel Guage thing, I be glancing at it every now and then.

northbird:
@ Readadream, is it true? I just saw a screenshot on a group..it reveals uber now shows destination.. interesting

I'm not sure, all the request that came in yesterday, none showed destination.

I just updated my App this morning, although I'm not working but I'm online. I'll update you if it shows.

Kingstel:
I can't find that now.
This attached is the one he wants to use.

You want to destroy your transmission. Buy Oando Dextron II from the filling station

dav1002:
Now let me give my own analysis from my point of view about this fuel issue / driver earnings debate

1000naira fuel @185/litre is 5.4litres
So 1k gives 4000-4,500 gross on my 2.4litre vehicle but will be using 4000 for analysis

So 5k fuel will give 20k gross

Now at the new price 5.4litres of fuel is 2637 naira

With 2637naira worth of fuel you as a driver should make times 4 which is 10,500naira

Therefore for every 2637naira worth of fuel you should gross 10500naira
So if you should buy 10k worth of fuel you should be able to make 4times that amount before you think of refueling

You will not truly understand this till you hit the road

My two cents

Lol the same 5.4ltrs you were getting at 1k, is still the same you are getting now at 2637naira.

So if your 5.4ltrs can only gross 4-5k then, nothing will change now. Except the App companies increase price to reflect the change in fuel price, no magic.

If you make 5k with 1k fuel before, and you take out 25% comm., you are left with....3k

Present reality, you make 5k with #2637 fuel, comm. 25%....take home is: #1363

konkoabove:
Bro, how much is the reprint?

No idea boss, someone said he did it for 12k.

CheerfulGiver:
11,900

That means you charge extra on some of your trips?

CheerfulGiver:
I don't think in km. I think with time. It's where you guys are missing the point. Isheri trip was 12k less 100.

You see 47km. I see 22,900 in 5 hrs.

What do you mean by 12k less 100?

Gentlelife50:
Mhennn, this Man dey try sha.
Mainland to island and then island back to mainland then island again.
Can't even remember the last I took a trip to that isheri side, if na like that it's possible to come up with fat dashboard sha.
Anywhere belle face things

I have a friend that works like this, I will invite him to this thread.
He needs to see his likes

Isheri Oshun to Wave beach is about 47km. And he took it for 6k...with fuel at 488. No way. Even at 185, I'd be skeptical and give it a second thought, probably if road is free, I'll use it to escape that dead zone.

God abeg, hear my silent prayers. I can't continue running around like a headless chicken.

dapotemi:
You CAN NEVER gross 6k consecutively with 1k fuel...sometimes you get lucky and you just get this lovely trip, so you gross 6k with 1k.. it's not something that happen often unless ALL your pick up na 1 mins.....We sef dey drive..The lie here is TOO MUCH! I wonder what am still doing here!!!!!!!

Who said it's a constant? I added at most. I can't even achieve such with my car except on a rare occasion when I do magic trips on Indrive.

.....and I believe those Suzuki guys should be able to achieve 1k to 6k with thier 1.3L engine.

Glithronix:
Good morning, bosses.
A friend call me now say FRSC give am ticket this morning on a charge of faded plate number.
Dem dey cut ticket for that one too abi dem Don scam my guy?

They do. Even if you paint the faded letters with blue paint, it's still an offense.

If your number plate is faded, go for a reprint at thier office; not free.

Pearl1910:
Readadream, to clear any doubt I was lucky to just capture my fuel gauge at exactly half tank and I have made 61k on App since fill up.
This is excluding extra charges.

Pretty impressive 👏

Pearl1910:
But isn't that what we have been doing with 9,500 fuel?

Normally I do minimum 75k with my full tank of N9,500 fuel.
Now full tank is 23k, (difference of 13k) so if I am not making 90k it means my earnings has dropped.
So for me my target is to make extra 13k on every full tank. Bolt is giving 6k bonus daily so without any stress I am still good. Plus even if Bolt bonus isn't there, I know how to cover extra 13k on my full tank l, no be everything person dey talk for public forum.
The goal is not to make double or 164% of what u usually make before, just cover the difference in the fuel and u r good.

I just dey look una wey dey complain, but I no wan put mouth because I know say una go chop me raw. All fingers are not equal Sha. But u just have to be wise!

Minimum of 75k gross with #9500 fuel? How 🤔

Make una no they whine us for here o.

Let's even breaking down. If 1k fuel gross 6k at most, that means 10k fuel will gross 60k. How are you grossing 75k minimum on #9500 of old price?

P.S Before you say I drive a C_Class, I used to drive a Corolla, a sound one at that.

Barbiturate:
Na wa o! And I don go buy half tank for 15k to work tomorrow. I just want to know the strategy to use

Baba strategy no they. You either negotiate for extra fee or just offer the highest bid on Indrive.

Barbiturate:
Do you now understand how to use 7500 to make 47k?

No sir

YeyeGbami:
Bella don drop motivational quote

I see am o. I just they laugh.

To do interstate offline trip go hard like this.

northbird:
The numbers are not adding up.

At all. I ended up getting confused. I'll just to recover the 15k I spent on fuel and go back home. It's not making sense to me.

Perhaps Sunday will be better.

CheerfulGiver:
If you fill your tank and gross 35k plus, how much fuel did you use?

I bought fuel 15k grossed 47k and have half tank left. How much fuel did I use?

7500.

So you gross 47k with 15ltrs fuel? Okay o

CheerfulGiver:
I had fuel from day before yesterday in tank before I bought another 30l at 15k. Now I have about half tank left. Which is worth 25k.

In a week I buy 150l and always have fuel for monday

30ltrs @185 is 5550, that should gross about 35+k on a normal working condition.

How much will 30ltrs @#15000 gross for you now? Factoring in the old ride prices.

Because the way I see it, except the price of ride increases, you will still be making same 35k+ gross on 15k fuel.

I'm just trying to understand how it's working for you, so I/we can adjust.

CheerfulGiver:
47k

Not gone online today

Bro, permit me to ask... How much fuel did you use to gross this? And before now you gross almost same figure; how much do you use then?

YeyeGbami:
Jami agba, wetin be the scope to renegotiate price.

Baba na to go straight to the point o. On Indrive, I don't call them, I drop chat and tell them we need to renegotiate. I no they call make Indrive no charge me.

And for those that call immediately upon accepting, I they tell them straight say wetin they app no fit work.

You either agree or cancel. You no fit beat me.

Avoid dead driving
Avoid long pickup
Avoid app price.

Ire ooooooooooooo

No way! These Apps need to do something about the pricing. I'm still seeing the old prices and it's ridiculous.

You can't survive this, its a rat race. You will suffer, your car will suffer, mechanic will cashout on you, fuel station will become richer due to your constant patronage, you will burn out, you won't have money to fix your car when it breakdown! This I have seen.

If you don't use your head, walahi, OYO.

Majority of the riders don't care. They still want to maintain old price, the ones that want to add money will offer 500 to 1k extra. Is it for garri or ewa?

I charged one 12k to airport from Sangotedo, she say no, na 8500 on the App she go pay, another one 10k to Ogudu, she say never, few minutes later the guy that needed the ride called back that I should come. That's the only trip I've managed to do today.

Chat/calling every now and then to renegotiate is exhausting, I can't keep up. They should just do the needful abeg.

CheerfulGiver:
This is my second day of buying fuel. Same thing. Opinion no change. I changed work time. I now leave home 11-12pm get home 11-1am.

I can't lose.

Have done only 6hrs today. 6 to go

Keep it up senior man. But I must tell you, as an odogwu that youare, you know that quality trips over quantity.

pope191:
Nah Gentlelife deh try cast you oo... give em man to man tackling like Eguavoen.

Even if na lakowe sef, rent still no cheap for there now
