Uber for President...

Two riders claimed to have done a transfer, since Tuesday. Called them both yesterday, one did a fresh transfer and it dropped, second one still say she don do.
Called her again in the evening she say she do am that I should send her a whatsapp message so she can send me screenshot, I did, she didn't.
This morning, reported to uber... Voila.

Yes you are wrong, they match drivers and owners every day .

Uber or an affiliate? Kindly show proof otherwise your word here is as good as mine

Xneg:
Tired of this popular crappy false saying, if uber was not made with rentals in mind, would they be linking up drivers and partners? Would they ask you if you're driving for yourself or the you have your own car during registration? Problem is that fares are low traffic and bad roads.

I may be wrong but I don't think uber links drivers and partners, maybe an affiliate, but uber? I don't think so

Do they ask these questions in Yankee?
Traffic, bad roads, lastma,cbd etc are the failings of social systems and institutions, not uber's so you cannot foist it on uber to make it easier for you. They have created a model that works for them, you signed up after accepting the TnCs now you want them to baby you?? Camon

I doubt I can start early on Suns o. Maybe I can push for 10am if I wife allows me to go out at all. It has always been a struggle to work on Suns even if I stay home all week till Sun, madam go insist Suns are for her. She go say I can go out all other days but Suns

I will try one more Sun, if I can't make up to 18k gross between 11am & 11pm, then I no do again!

See am... Different strokes for different folks. My own off day na monday and Wednesday, madam will go to the movies... Sometimes I use agidi do morning till 12 and then shut down for her on those days. Saturday and Sunday are usually used to make my own share having made my rent with the weekdays. I target 15k after fuel on both days to close out the week. Mind you all my daily expenses come out of my earnings so what I have at the end of the week is banked.
Fact is some weeks you'll clean out easy, some others you'll struggle. In the end everything evens out. No job will make you a millionaire overnight so its irrational to expect that this one will. If you are able to bank 80k-100k after daily expenses in a month I don't think that's such a bad thing.

One thing almost every "uber don cast" driver here doesn't realize or failed to acknowledge is uber was not designed for rental. Once you accept this fact, a major psychological barrier is lifted and clarity may be gained.
Acceptance is key for both driver and landlord here. Uber has a model that it operates globally and that is- drive your car at your own pace to make extra cash.
We in Nigeria found a way to build a model (Rental) around this model. Here uber has no hand, that's why uber doesn't directly provide drivers or vehicles.
The uber is slavery conversation can therefore only be effective at driver/owner level. That's why people who drive their own vehicles aren't crying so much as rental drivers and landlords. Uber is like airbnb
Gazzuz and the fence crew are on the fence because of the inefficiencies that arise via the third party (drivers). If Gazzuz or dru23 drove their cars themselves, they'll spend much less on maintenance and generally enjoy higher profitability.
Personally, I don't see how 35k is so hard, its grossing 15k daily after commission. 5k for fuel, 5k for landlord, 5k for me. A mistake I think we make is wanting to remove all our expenses, including personals, from our earnings before arriving at a net income. Anything outside of fuel and recharge card for data and calls cannot be classed under operating expenses. Suppose you earn a salary of 100k after taxes and contributions i.e. pension/him etc that is your NET. Not after house rent, feeding, fees etc, all that will come out of that 100k as living expenses. How you manage it will determine how far it'll take you. But we want to remove fuel, rent, commission, dstv, Netflix and then bank 40k as net for the week... Naaa.
Finally, we need to understand and respect each other. What I put in is different from what others might. I looked at Jesusson2020 hours online and number of trips and juxtaposed with mine... I did 42 hours 33 trips against his 72 hours. Numbers don't lie. Now if he's paying his rent consistently and owner services and maintains car appropriately it'll take some time for any major car trouble to come up. Saying his engine will soon knock is plain evil.
Also, we must understand that e-hailing does not begin and end on nairaland. There's only a fraction of drivers/landlords/riders on this thread so lets stop sounding like this is the e-hailing national assembly where all matters are decided. Plenty people no know or send una here. I went to Denis at Akoka to fix my a.c. some months ago, I got to know of him on nl but the guy no even know of nairaland. Lets just chill Abeg.
There's an entitlement mentality drivers here have which I think needs to stop. Let's not confuse it with having high self esteem. If anything, I smacks of an insecure and fragile personality. Drivers need to earn what's desired and not Command it, you have to be at a certain level in life to be able to command things of others. Someone here said taxify has more drivers than uber therefore it'll ruin uber if they continue to lose drivers and I'm wondering if its drivers that are requesting rides or riders.
Lets think in perspective, but most of all let's live and let live. I must not see the world through your eyes.

I'm sitting somewhere just between the fence and the other side...

How's fleet management?

One year this week... So far so good, 35k rental, never defaulted. Haven't saved as much as I had hoped though, but my car must land in a few months... Otherwise wetin we gain?

BAZ001:
I had two request like that yesterday after waiting for 3 hours
App just went offline and I checked * driver did not respond*
Dropped my activity and still no request.

Saw it this morning, walahi no request beep fo my phone, I'm totally indifferent to activity score and ratings on taxify now

GforGee:
Wait oo, are you saying if I go to the airport, and park: I just need to tell them I'm Uber driver and I won't have to pay?

Lol... No o... Uber reimburses your parking fee as long as you get a trip within the first hour. Like your toll fare the fee is passed on to the rider. What I meant was if you wait beyond one hour and then get a trip in the second hour uber will not reimburse you.
No tell anybody that u be Huber o, jejely enter car park like every other person, when request enter call the rider and make sure he/she is at the arrival pickup point, anything outside there, you better have a very big god or else OYO

Mjosh1000:
Taxify drivers I need answers on this,
If u are parked at the airport for about two hours and u see a request outside the pickup point or at the pickup point at the airport who pays for your parking fee

Not exactly sure taxify pays airport parking, and I believe its limited to 1hr, if you stay beyond an hour you're on your own, according to uber at least

chucsmoore:
Did U remember what happened when Uber slashed their fare by 40% on May 4th 2017. Infact that was when Bolt took over from them. All drivers ran to Bolt office to open account. About 80% of drivers stopped driving on uber platform. Till now i can boastfully say bolt has more drivers than Uber. More drivers = more money for bolt. Uber is just introducing different kinds of promo and incentives to bring back their run away drivers back to their platform. They left Lekki office and came to Maryland mall because they could not afford the rent anymore while bolt started with 3bedroom office and moved to gigantic office in lekki, Now tell me who is growing? It is not by who started first, is by who is pulling d strings and whose impact is more felt in d industry. Bolt has relegated uber 2 years ago.

Is it the driver base that determines rides viz-a-viz income for the driver or is it the rider base?

BAZ001:
What 5k online and 10k offline
I'm encouraged already
Mine na just #2,600
I will join early morning rush tomorrow
Was thinking of taking tomorrow off too
so that I don't start suspecting every man I see on the road as LGA area boys

This should help you further

John 20:21-23:

“[Jesus] said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.’ And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.’”

NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION

Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”

"Jesus’ statement is conditional. He says “If you forgive the sins of any … If you retain the sins of any …” What this means is that when the condition is met (i.e. the apostles forgive/retain sins) then the following result occurs (the sins have been forgiven/retained). The forgiveness of sins, therefore, did not take place before the apostles’ actions, but it occurs when the Apostles forgive or retain sins. In other words, Jesus is investing the apostles with the authority to actually forgive sins.

We can see this investment of authority one verse earlier when “… Jesus breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.’” What does this breathing mean? In Scripture, it shows the bestowal of new life (Genesis 2:7, Ezekiel 37:9-14). This gift of the Holy Spirit empowers the apostles to carry out their mission of mercy and forgiveness."
