At times, I kind of agree with guys that have this thought that says "uber drivers have no rep".

But then again, it's all about perception and how you chose to be seen. Two scenarios recently made me understand why they have that line of thought.

A good no of people out there will immediately want to disrespect you or look down on you the moment they find out you are an Uber driver.

Please guys I need help.
I just joined the bolt app today and even though I was online all day I couldn't get any client or order.
After a while of frustration I went to an isolated area and tried to search for a driver through another device to see if I could book myself but I couldn't find myself available for a ride.
Please what could be the problem? My bolt app is active but I think clients can't find me online for some reason.

Go online, book yourself from the riders App, if you don't the request, then something is wrong.

Maybe you should send a mail to bolt let them run a check on your account.

I them checked my balance it's over 2k.

Now, for retired drivers like me and with money still in my account is there no way I can utilize it? At least maybe book a ride or buy recharge card or do something at least because I can't afford to just dash this people my money nah...

Indriver should have a way drivers or frm drivers can spend the left over funds in their account. It doesn't make any sense

Comot eye for the money.. You can only pay commission with it. Otilo cheesy

You have to take your safety PERSONAL. Avoid unfamiliar areas. I use INDRIVE so easier to cherry pick.

It's peaceful to me. I don't get to deal with the real Lagos madness.

Myself and my car work less. Except for last Sunday that I went to Mainland twice, it's been awhile since I crossed 3mb.

Don’t even try it, the minimum fuel you need is 15K to do any reasonable work. If you dey buy 5k don’t be surprised that na 5k you go still use am gross.

You also need to spend more time on the road, like it or not.

You are right. Especially spending more time on the road.

Before from 4/5am that I start, latest by 2pm I'm done and close to my house. Only on rare occasions that I'd be out till like 6pm.

Since fuel increased, I tried day work like 3ce, omo past 7pm I was still struggling to meet target, the fares just they annoy me, and my fuel was going down like someone is using it with me grin

Body just dey pain me seriously, wasting of time and money for fuel...

Imagine 5k fuel can't even give you 15k...

This is so bad mehn...

OH well, It is what it is bro. If you try to challenge the narrative been thrown around here, they will come for you.

I already zeroed my mind to make X2.5 of my fuel input, 10k fuel to gross 25k minimum. And I also drive less now because it's too much work, before I make my fuel money back, I'm almost tired, talk more of chasing profit.

All these talk of 'I'm making more money now ' doesn't seem realistic to me, but that's not my business.

Meanwhile, I only work at night except Sunday.

Why would they want to impose the Hackney permit on drivers self.
Wetin concern them with that one?
Even, the Almighty Bolt doesn't require the permit, so, I wonder the reason behind their own new requirement for it.
Make dem remove that thing from their requirements.

It's BS! There's no reason why they should make it mandatory.

Hello bosses,

I just got a tokunbo Camry 2014 3 months ago from US for personal use. Please, can I use my new car for this hustle?

Kindly note that I'm a 9 to 5 person. I intend using it for hustle in the evening after work and weekend.

What platform (Bolt/Uber/Indriver/Rida/others) is best for a part time driver like me)?
I intend driving within the Island alone as I stay in Lekki Phase 1.
Is it worth it?
Please, advise me appropriately. Thank you everyone

Yes, you can use your car.
Since you want to stay within the Island, Indrive is the best App for that....but you may struggle to get rides as the app is meant for Intermediate/Professional drivers.

You can start with Bolt, it will give you the experience needed.

Is it worth it? That's left for you to decide. You need to hit the road to be able to make that decision, whether it's worth your time or not.

Personally, I would not use a 2014 Camry for this hustle, with the current price of fuel and spare parts.

Very true.. but how do those guys push air into the tank instead of fuel.
If I'm buying 10k upwards. I tell them to program it and I tell them not to interfere with the pump dispensing.
Why are the attendants so wicked?

Those people are rogues! It's bad enough that we are buying expensive fuel from doctored pumps, fuel attendants still want to shortchanged us.

As expensive as fuel is, some fuel attendants still wants to cheat us.

This guy at Oando Badore sold 1k fuel to a Keke Napep, he didn't clear the sale and decided to continue mine, I saw and raised alarm, he wanted to argue, I told not to try I or we'll escalate it.

He sold me extra 1k fuel.
