There was a Sunday I experienced this, when work was going smoothly.
I hit the head until my car started, I just went home straight and called it a day, as per say I no fit access my rewire and no way to resolve the issue.
Once your car start, abeg just dey go house go rest, continuing will ruin more than your day.



Much respect, boss.

Guys, people are making REAL LIFE DECISIONS just by reading your experience from this forum. Some will quit their job, relocate their families, sleep under ajah bridge because you have unknowingly sold to them an unsustainable version of the job! Stop adding sweeteners, addictive or ginger to your experience. It is not fair on others. Partners read this stories and they go back to press the neck of their drivers.. Don't be unfortunate!
Pls note that not everyone has the same IQ or street smartness like you, some do not have the ability to think deeper, they just ACT, because you share not ur experience but tales by moonlight.
Again, don't be unfortunate.
Thank you.

u have a point but after u leave that zone do u drive back or be looking for another dead zone again? Thats not business mehn.
U will find those lucky trips ones in a while but it's not sustainable except u just drive for fun and not for any monetary target.
I have used Indrive and it's not compatible with me and my earnings, I have challenged anybody using Indrive to show me Profit (after fuel and commission of 50k daily)
Pope and Glithronix are grandfather's in Indrive but they no fit. But babies in Bolt or a combination of both Apps can do this without stress.

No serious high earner on Indrive, na prayer and fasting u go dey do daily to get trips and meet your target. Some days will be good but some days will be very very bad. It's not like that on Bolt, everyday is a good day, provided u can put in d hours

Glithronix:

Sorry for the laughs.
This your comment dey very funny.


Much respect, baba.

Pearl1910:
okay.
As a former Bolt driver u should be able to guide him properly.
Tell him about this thread, if he has more questions that can't provide answers to, then let him ask here by himself.

easytig:
I will check them out this night,I remember when I told my rewire I needed led headlight,dude blatantly told me 15k for both,the next day I enter ladipo ,they were quoting from 12k for both,that night one thing say make I check AliExpress naso I see 7k for both headlight plus shipping, sharply I place order after confirming from the seller it is compatible with my car,when I received it ,I drove to my rewire to fix,he was surprised and asked for the price I bought it ,I told him he should not worry and replace the old one that was dull,for the past one year if I put on my headlight from twenty metres ,people dey cover eyes 😆 🤣

Pearl1910:
The CNG will also go up. What happens then?
The truth is Ehailing fares are too low. The App companies should realize this. There may be more trips but the overall take home is lower than if the fares Increase and d demand drops. Drivers still make more even with low patronage. So there is no reason to make fares this cheap even in the face of increased fuel price. Except that they want drivers to lock shop. This is d first time fuel will go up by double and prices will not change. It's crazy. The prices must go up. The barest minimum is that a 2.4litre petrol engine car must gross X4 his fuel money, When u deduct commission and fuel ur take home profit should be double ur fuel money. That's only when it makes economic sense. That way u can save for car maintenance.
But currently u buy fuel of N30k and gross 60k after commission and fuel u are left with less than than half of the gross or nothing. Cos in some cases u use 10k fuel to complete a 10k trip.
FUEL PRICE HAS DOUBLED, FARES MUST DOUBLE.
There is no other way to say it.

Jegheter:
Bro stop using ur ac and ur profit margin will slightly increase. Trust me that increase makes a whole lot of difference.

As per customer stressing pls maintain red eye. Me my posture alone u'll know I'm not smiling. I tell u no ac without being apologetic. Iz no longer a right but a privilege. I educate them on y we have first class and economy. Honestly driving this way help maintain my profit but more stressful but I'm here to make money FIRST before comfort.

Some prices u see u know the riders dont want to talk much. As iz above 450naira/km. I on AC without being asked. But all dose yawu yawu trips na red eye. If u stress me I'll drop u and u MUST pay cancellation fees

Now some women don't suffer for my hand. I educate Dem wella. U r paying how much u r asking for AC. R u going for excursion

I feel ur pain.

2 rides my bro.. I park... My own protest is to avoid bolt and uber.... Indrive is innocent.... Na ur fellow drivers go increase price when they're ready, for now, let them continue with fastest finger 🖕... Coman wait for me to do protest... In my area, when these people order, we dey ignore, till them wise up... Na why few days back when I talk say it a norm for me to pick ajah to vi 14k to 20k on indrive, person no believe, today na 16800 i pick to vi.... We no dey rush for this side, when una don ready, una go relax, those clown driving suzukis, when car don run down out of poor ride choices, and them see money maintain, dem go wise up.... Ur rulers wey una put in power suppose don subsidise oil to 50doris give dangeote, we suppose dey buy fuel 300 - 400, but no... They'll rather share rice and build coastal road with trillions, road wey only 0.005% of the population will ever use. When una ready to put better people in power, una go let me know, till then... Business good for indrive, so long as you make it so.... If you dey do business, buying and selling, will becus amaka is selling 500 naira, make i sell 500 naira too, even tho i cost price is 550?no you'll wait till you see who go buy 600....if customer no see who sell 500 for am, customer go price 600...if una dey find who una go protest against, protest against una selves, we're out own enemies.

Biodun1929:
Lol...it has happened to me many times but the one that paned me the most was the one that happened recently. I reached pick up point after passing thro ugh bad horrible road, I saw the 2 Oloshos about 4 buildings in front of me. I picked up phone to call, that's how one yellow commercial bus filled with olosho girls was passing, they waved it down and jumped in. And immediately they cancelled. Chai[b]. I felt like ramming into that bus[/b].

capetownboyz:
Is 50k enough taking Someone from Lagos to Abeokuta going and coming back and 30k fuel budgets ..

Glithronix:
Please we also have to be very careful.
This hustle is not just about driving and making money alone, being vigilant and cautious is part of it.
I perceived an unusual situation, I avoided it (simple).
In the course of trying to save the situation, the unexpected come happen, you know wetin go sup after?
Baba, I no get strength to dey shalaye.
God won't damn me for cancelling the ride.
I understand your views, though.


Much respect, sir.

cyif2003:

Much respect, baba.

Glithronix:
You see those locations you mentioned ehn, looks like a compilation of horror movies.
During my early days on bolt, I shuttled Amuwo/Ago palace/Festac/Mile2/Apapa/Iyana Iba wella.
Those places are horrifying.
I still have the picture of those areas in my head.
Make no newbie try those areas ooh, not even now wey be say road sanity in Lagos don disappear. Everybody just dèy do anyhow now.

Btw, at the bold.....

capetownboyz:
Hello I’m hitting the road soon as a Uber driver as a means to offset one’s current bill and economic recession..I will be driving from Ikeja .. pls if you got any advice for me to aid my confidence in this job pls do share ..have read through the group chats for a while now and I’m quite encouraged by you guys resilience in this business ..I pray the road will be good with me cause normally I get tired easily driving on Lagos road and I’m not too conversant with the Lagos road except heading to few high brow area but I guess google map will be my partner for a while until I get used to this roads ..I hope this job is exciting and most especially encouraging financially, I guess I will find out by myself..

This girl no bad sha

Glithronix:
Some people still dey judge these apps based on one trip?
You never see where indrive price on a particular trip beats both Uber and Bolt together?
Make we come conclude say indrive is better than Bolt and Uber based on that? NO!

Definitely, no experienced indrive DRIVER go pick that 10.5k trip cos they all know the real worth of such trip.
Las las, na the rider go tire and switch to Uber or Bolt when no driver is picking the ride.

You dey see prices on indrive both in the afternoon and evening/night time?

Indrive na real gamer (this period). ✅


Much respect, boss.

No Sir, u can't. Vehicle license is not in lieu of Inspection Report. There is a place for uploading of vehicle license separate from the space to upload Inspection Report.
