Exactly... Commissions alone is N10, 800, fuel at least N10, 000. Wetin come remain lipsrsealed


P.S I drive my own car.

[b]Let me say something at this point.

Did you noticed it's just 3days?

Bro, that's good enough and if he can gross another 50k for the rest of the week he should be able to remit @least 25k if not 30k to owner/partner. That's fear enough.

If your owner/partner still collect 20k from you for now, just keep the deal jealously cos that partner is a good person and you should be generous enough to reciprocate by giving him/her 25k when you have more than enough or excesses.

Except some owner/partners that put more burden on driver by sifting the responsibilities of maintenance to the driver. If owner/partner is expecting a driver to be responsible for servicing and any fault as high as 10k he/she should not expect the driver to remit anything above 20k even 15k but any owner that still takes care of servicing and expenses above 5k should be appreciated and I won't advise such to do anything below 20k cos it's not profitable. And if your driver is still doing 25k please appreciate him/her by taking him/her out for launch grin cos it's not easy as well


And if you think I'm talking from owner side of view my friend you are wrong.

Though I'm not in support of people posting earnings but I can tell you that even during the 6am-8pm working hours, we still bless God. Though the earnings wasn't like before but it was stress-free because there was no traffic that period and I loved it.

A friend called and told me he needed a car ( this is the person that introduced me to Uber/Bolt) and I told him there's car but can you do 25k?

His response was you know how the thing be now and I told him I am not part of that so if you can't Let's forget it. He agreed and picked the car and he's been doing the 25k for almost a month now. He has nothing to worry about cos the owner/partner takes care of almost everything.

Whatever we do we surely know in our minds either good or bad. As Yorùbá people use to say that "Ènìyàn méjì kì í pàdánù irọ́........" If the person I'm lying to doesn't know I'm telling lies, I will definitely know inside me that I'm telling lies.
The only thing is that some people's (both owners/drivers) conscience is already dead. An average owner is looking for a driver to enslaved vis-a-vis an average driver or let me say average Nigerian and we are the first to condemn the leaders.


I beg make I stop jàre wetin I kúkú know.
Please I'm not here to exchange words with anyone.
Just be fear enough sikena[/b]

Charging using solar with a couple of plugs can be helpful, charging is a couple of hours, if we remove petrol cost drivers l believe will make more, needs to be tested though

I will advise you bring like two first to test the market. For a driver to be bringing car to your office on daily basis means you will recruit drivers living around your office. Mind you most of the drivers partner in this line of business can't even predict where they will be at a particular hour of the day hence you see them turning the car to a self-contained apartment in every part of Lagos grin. Sometimes I will just laugh when a partner comes here and started saying the driver must reside around so so and so.

Does anyone use a Prius (Hybrid) or Leaf Nissan full electric in lagos.
Hybrid is a mixture of Petrol and electric and very low on fuel,
While ( Electric)cars are 100% electric no petrol, but needs to be charged overnight
Charge overnight? For Naija epileptic power supply? Or you go buy generator for the driver?
I don't think it's a good idea for this business in my father's land called Naijiria.

Thanks to everyone that showed concern on my case since Wednesday (Gentlelife vision2045 and to all that prayed) God will bless us all.


The car is out through a highly respected lagos chief I was connected to by someone, the initial fee was 100k he called the director and talked to him to slash the fee down to 30k.
I drove straight to his place at ebutemeta to thank him.
He warned me never to drive against traffic again and prayed for me.
I just left there now and on my way home, local man is tired and need rest.

Once again thank you all for your support.

Meanwhile I got a connect of a lastma officer at oshodi just incase anyone need assistance.
His area covers Anthony, oshodi and gbagada.
Local man will hit the road back on Monday thanks and one love
So sorry, it's one of the hazards of this hustle. I've been there twice though didn't spent up to that. It is well with all of us

Morning pilots. Please those on Uber platform, if I decide to add a vehicle already registered with Uber on another driver's account, do I need to do inspection again? And which part of the inspection report do I need to upload? This is urgent. Thanks.
Best best ask the former driver to transfer the car to you and start using the car immediately even if the inspection report will expire next month you will still use the car till it expired. Talking from experience

Bro.
You're sounding more aggressive than diplomatic here.

Though we can't judge with dashboard, but if everyone can average 14k gross daily, I'm sure no one will talk of winter here again.

With my matrix, I can gross 14k with 3k fuel.
Remove it from the gross, then remove 2.8k bolt commission, plus 1k food.
That's 14 - (3+2.8+1) = 7.2k

7.2k into 6days = 43.2k per week.

Regardless, him grossing 14k today is pure luck and we all know that. Cos street keeps looking more dry by the day.

The only point I'm trying to make here is that we may not base our earnings on gross, but it's quite necessary for a better feasibility study.

For those going into rental agreement, 20k delivery is possible, but you might not have up to 5k for yourself after paying rent.
At the bolded, you are very core

I just witnessed a truck destroying a Toyota Camry (most likely to be Uber) at ogolonto b/stop ikorodu.
The driver's side tyre and vender destroyed.
The guy was trying to block the trailer and some soldiers around were ready to help him but unfortunately for the driver of the red lagbus bus I entered started shouting that the Camry driver was at fault and the Naval soldier in the bus testified to it and talked to the soldiers to free the Trailer.
I felt so bad for the action of the lagbus driver and shouted, "oga go drop us àbí wetin be your own".
I pity the Camry driver cos the damage was just too much at this Corona period.. But thank God for his life.

Please @all experienced DriversPartners

How can I delete my profile from Uber App. I mean totally deleted. Don't want to have anything to do with them again.

How can you tell me someone has been using my driver's license even before my registration with you and blocked me after working on the same App for just about two months claiming the impostor used my DL for fraud on the App.

Someone has been using my DL since Match 2019 even before I collected the original around July and you didn't discovered during my registration. I requested for the impostor information and they refused and concluded I cannot partner with them again.

Please, I want to delete my information/Profile from the App.
Grateful if anyone can guide me through.
Thanks

Felicity001 your head dey there. Why would one wait till he gets blocked from cash trips before he remits to Bolt? Maybe some drivers don't know sha.

Personally, my 'bench balance is -N4,000'. Once it crosses N4,000, I make a transfer of N3,000 to them which should bring me back to a balance of -1,000+, and the process repeats itself again when it rises above that...
I always pay in advance. If I'm having - #3k I transfer like #8k. Wisdom is needed in this line of business

I have been going through your comments for a while, sometimes you make lots of sense, other times, not so much. You seem to throw around the fact that you base outside the country so much as a big achievement of sorts. This is a faceless forum, so anyone can claim what ever they deem fit.
Not to undermine your claims, but you must understand that you aren't the only one 'exposed' to outside the country. Being outside the country doesn't refine your thinking, rather it refines you to the laws and principles governing that environment.

All that being said, I'd love to address your claims of Americans and their saving mannerisms. I have been opportuned to live in different parts of UK, America and Canada, so I believe I have more exposure than you irrespective of age( since you live outside the country, you should know age is not considered).
The American system is a capitalist nation that is run on a credit system basis, hence allowing comfort for eternal indebtedness. This is why the average American doesn't see the need to save when he could access credit facilities. Why pay upfront for a 2,000 dollar tooth extraction when I could pay for it over a period of 2 years. That's the mentality that their system makes them believe. In UK they believe in save a little, and depend a little. I won't go into that because that's not basis of the comparison. In Canada, they operate more like the Nigerian system, still won't go in-depth. In Nigeria however, they do not run a credit based system, in fact the average Nigerian believe in save up to get it. Hence why there are lots of house owners in Nigeria. Getting your facts right, the average American isn't as asset worthy when compared to the average Nigerian, (if you have facts to disprove this, no problem). Back to your earlier arguement. The fact that American system is conducive for their citizens and the Nigerian system isn't doesn't mean the Nigerian system is totally bad. I really don't know why you love to bring down Nigeria at every slight opportunity, or see her citizens as below average thinkers, but it's totally wrong. First rule of business, don't undermine your customers because they make you. If majority of your customers begin to boycott your products, you'll go bankrupt in your engine oil business. If you live in America like you claim, you should realize that the average American doesn't come close intellectually to the average Nigerian.

I have a lot to say, but I'll leave it at this,

P.S, I know you'll either quote me with a derogatory meme, picture or response. Just in case you don't dissappoint, it shows your superio-inferior mentality. And if you do dissapoint me, then I take it you are mature as some of your posts portray.

N.B: in all my argument I made use of the word 'average'
Thank God we have some that have foreign experience in most parts of the world we can think of visiting or living. Well done jàre ọmọ ọkọ

I am not asking for pity and I don't need it .. From day 1 I don't fake shit and I tell people my mind ...

Now the only reason why I posted the issue is . I was going through nairaland this morning. And I saw the driver's post looking for a car ..I already deleted his number since the incident and move on.. But it will heartless if I dont call him out to the public .. Order than that I could careless .. But for fact that he is looking to damage another person's car , my conscious will not let me rest..

You see that is the difference between people like me and you.. If I see something bad , I will say something, but people like will rather have have someone go through it without telling them ..

Regardless dru23 will be ok.....

Is this the real dru23 we know? Cos I don't think a driver can own the real dru23 60k with his experience in the business. It is not possible. Maybe someone is using his Monika to post ni.
