Thankful to Baba God for his mercies!

House when you pick your rider.
Rider: i am going to xyz, please avoid all routes where there are SARS!
Should you cancel the trip immediately?
Should you also report such incidence to uber/bolt?

pope191:


Very very important, got home yesterday and I can feel d cold and fever all over my body till dis moment, but here I am out here again (Dat tin dat use to push someone to put in more energy) . Made 6k5 already once its 10k, I'm on my way home straight to treat malaria, nothing concern me wit weekend bonus. I can not come and k*ll myself.

Has your doctor confirmed that you have malaria, have you done the necessary test?
See me pastor preaching mean while i am on my second dose of Lonart, treating what i believe is malaria (without going to the clinic), cant afford to be down for a day. Will try to do 5 trips today.
Don't want Mr President calling me a lazy Nigerian!

We work till we drop!

BAZ001:

I slept off twice on wheels today, though it was in festac traffic but I slept off forgot dt I was driving for few minutes. Na grand papa n mama I carry dem no code.
When car dey move again I dozed off na God save me say I no enter parked Trailer.
As I dropped dem I just pull over n slept.
Our body needs sleep.

Sometimes a chewing gum or kola nut could help until you get to ur drop off point.

mentro:

Please which do you advise he puts on rentage? And how much does an uber driver gross monthly averagely?

Camry. ... on average uber monthly earnings please scroll through all previous post, you will surely find your answer to this question.

mentro:
Hello guys, someone close lost is job yesterday, and I'm advising him to apply for uber or taxify. He has a neat Camry 2002 and Acura MDX 2003. Please can any of the car be accepted?

Sigh... all this while he never knew he was a potential employer of labour.... he can drive one and give out the other on rental.

bulalakoboko:
Hello brother, I lost my job today and want to start Uber and taxify. I have a corolla 2008 but I am a novice with lagos road because I don't drive out that much. My work is very close to my house and even my church so I hardly even drive my car. Please is it possible for me to use the Uber app to know where am going? Thanks as you help a brother.

Your doing uber should not stop you from searching for another job.
I will also advice you to seriously consider getting your PVC ...Permanent Visa to Canada.
Do your research online and you would be amazed how much you can earn as an uber driver overseas.

franksam2009:
I'm still wondering how posting earnings helps motivate anyone.
Lemme try reason/understand the way u do, are u tryna motivate car owners awaiting their weekly returns, or u tryin 2 motivate people already in d game(drivers),. Or maybe u tryna motivate commercial Banks to flood the streets with more cars?
If at this age you still Don't know the rules and concept of business, den u might probably remain poor forever

Posting great weekly earnings, could be altruistic to motivate drivers, malicious to show that drivers are taking partners for fools, sincere to show investors that the business still offers attractive return on investment and to show drivers that uber still pays (cautiously) acknowledging dru23



As a poster rightly says, when you post such fantastic earnings, showing your fellow drivers how you are able to strategically make such earnings in a week would be appreciated.
Do you decline certain trips to certain areas?
What are you favourite spots within the mainland and island for getting request?
Do you wait for rider (aka paid waiting) or cancel immediately when the rider is not yet ready?
How do you keep your car in tip top shape
Where you get your genuine spare part supplies from
The of your mechanic, because behind every successful uber driver is a good and competent mechanic. (please sharing your mechanic would not reveal your identity a good mechanic would probably have at least over 10 uber cars that s/he services)
Mistakes you have made in the past on the job and how newbies should be able to avoid them.
Car mileage in a week
Car maintenance schedule
Do you have an abundance of fat kola nuts in your car
Do you drink bulldozer on the job
Do you have any elixir that keeps you physically fit for the rigors of the job.

Posting great weekly earnings is not enough but the strategy to consistently achieve this earnings must be shared in order to assist other drivers to meet up their weekly remittance.

izzou:


Your advantage is that you own your car

[b]A rental driver cant take such decisions... What if it rains all day of the week?

But the floods are something else.... Taxify and uber should just permanently make everywhere red. That's the only soothing balm for we drivers. [/b]

Take a day off because of heavy rain, or enter flood and be forced to take a week off or more battling with various mechanical and electrical issues associated with flooding, while your mechanic, rewire, beater smile to the bank etc.
One of my car tyre was stuck in the gutter on one of the street at Ikeja Gra on Friday, because of heavy flooding, i did not know that there was a gutter already covered with water, as i was trying to move closer to pick up my enger.
As they say experience is the best teacher.

Crvrider:


Are you suppose to do that?

Central lock pls.

Buynowautos:


What are the advantages of uber over Bolt?

Peace of mind!

Maax23:
were U block ? Cos I was just unblocked

Yes i was blocked by Bolt for low rating, ironically i currently have a 4.80 rating on uber.
I have never since i started my uber experience, asked any rider to rate me.
I give all my riders 5 stars, including the good, the bad and the ugly.
Bolt needs to improve their processes/app.

taxiappguy:
Hello everyone, I'm writing a post on what ride share companies should do better (in case they don't know).
If you have an opinion on the matter please comment as a reply to this post.
What changes would you like to see?
For instance, what do you think they should do in order for drivers to earn more? That sort of thing.
I appreciate your input in advance.
Thanks guys.

There is the FOI... Freedom of Information Act.
All we are saying is that uber should give us FOD.... Freedom of Destination
We should not be limited to only 2 destination choice within a day.

Why would Bolt want to disturb my Uber experience by unblocking me?
I just don't get it.

Seun360:



[b]Will never [/b]take a trip to that axis again.

Took 3hrs to get to Festac from Intercontinental hotel last thursday.

Took me 2hrs to return back to the Island.

Trailers block 3 routes, na under wan bridge wey link me to Mile 2 road i follow.

we expect your next festac experience sooner than later!

Cooladex:


Lol. been driving on uber alone for weeks until they tell me they re done with that promotion and taxify receives sense too

Sometimes I finish my 15 trips on tues and enjoy my 3% all through

Seems after getting on the 3% promo uber start pushing short trips your way.. I believe someone had earlier made this observation before. Hope uber promo is not a scam!

The time is 2am in Nigeria. Have you ed for InDriver yet? The Russian e-hailing app making waves across Africa. me on WhatsApp 08085404500 to get started.

Don't take the risk o lol, if done wrong it's a big wahala.
Water and hydrogen peroxide will be pumped directly into ur injectors to wash engine internal components.
Prepare to buy a new catalyst sha

Thanks for the !

What is decarbonization? This is the second time this process is being recommended for my car. I was informed that it will improve fuel efficiency.Guru in the house is it worth it?

izzou:
The only issue I see with higher rentals is that the car must suffer more

When a partner is putting a car for say 30k a week, the driver taking it is aiming to make like 60k that week. So if your rental is 40k, I'll have to work that car's ass off too

[b]The car suffers when rentals are increased.


My opinion too[/b]

...while your health improves!

igwedehxy:
hello guys. i just got a Toyota Camry 2005 a.k.a Big Daddy. i am thinking of:

1. giving it to a fleet management company
2. Putting it on higher purchase
3. putting it up strictly for rentals
4. or doin the Uber myself ( i dont really drive well and may have to go to driving school and obtain drivers liscense)

please someone should suggest wat will be the best investment plan for me.

i will appreciate ur inputs

OPTION A4 in Humphrey Nwosu's voice.

knowyeknot:
Yes

Bought my own car, and I didn’t owe him a kobo, when I was dropping his car

This is the kind of statement that puts investors or would be partners on alert, on average corporate drivers are not able to save enough to buy a tokunbo car within 3 years, yet in less than 3 years uber drivers are able to achieve this feat... #partnersonalert

Mjosh1000:
If u get a trip from the airport (taxify/bolt) at the end of the trip will your parking fee be added to your fare.

According to the logic of Bolt, you have to ensure the rider comes into the parking lot, before your parking fees will be added, rider meets you inside the parking lot, then you start your trip while still at the airport parking lot. If you pick rider outside the parking lot, OYO.
This is why more drivers are beginning to appreciate the professionalism of Uber!

mrjaydee:
You guys should stop all this childish behaviours..this thread was created for Uber discussions.. I visit this thread daily to learn and view drivers experiences.. it's really annoying one has to scroll down and see all this bants and memes!
You guys should grow up!!!

Wishing all the reasonable drivers/partners a successful and safe week ahead.

God bless.

Experience fall on you!

Sigh... what of the little guys just trying to eke out a living!

This is a wake up call for D and G to form a merger, so that they can also collectively come up with lower oil pricing.

Just imagine how much you guys will save on shared logistics, synergy... think synergy.

Some will say such a combination can never happen, i remain an unrepentant optimist.

For newbies: D = Dru; G = Gazzuz

Tywohakym:
That is what I want to use it for and thass my choice not from any salary

If u know of any please assist

Xneg just gave you a brotherly advice.
It is highly risky to approach a micro finance for a loan for uber business.
Most micro finance will not give such loans, and those that give you are more interested in auctioning your properties inclusive of the car, when you default in your repayment obligations.
The situation of the market now is filled with so much uncertainty, think twice before you make that leap!
Look for a car rental option and save up towards your goal.

maclatunji:
Meanwhile my people, the days when you will start analyzing InDriver revenue are approaching fast.

If you want to early before gbogbo ero arrives, send me a WhatsApp 08085404500. Authorised to Legalise drivers on the platform once you meet requirements.

Haba no financial incentives for the early birds?
i will wait and the gbogbo ero train.

jpworld:


I prefer working with newbies, than this retired rich guys that feels so entitled.

Jesusboy was saying he earn 20k weekly and feels comfortable with it, all of you here claim is not worth it.

But you expect owner who might have worked his ass off, get a loan from bank, probably sell his land or house, to invest in Uber to collect 20k/25k..

If you guys bring danfo style here, trust me, owners will quit and divert their investment. It will remain you and your village people to invest.

We are here to share and learn divest their investment to what?
Real Estate, Treasury Bills risk free or Forex trading high risk investment or what.
For those who are computationally inclined and investment savvy, at what point must weekly remittance fall before investment in Treasury bills would be considered a better deal.

Xneg:


This is very wrong, uber already has a precedure in place if a rider refuses to pay you, how can you expose your rider online to the whole world just because of 3200 naira, [b]unfortunately you're anonymous [/b]else he also has the right to report you to uber and you will be banned for life.

Did Google tell you he is anonymous?
If uber should take this matter up, he has zero defense.
He might just be banned for life. We should therefore all please be careful how we report incidences.
We should respect the confidentiality of our clients, and if there are any infraction on the part of riders simply report to uber!

pope191:


Customer confidentiality ko, custom fidelity bank ni... Is dia a place uber said he should not pay is money or is he not supposed to know the driver deserve his wages. Let's call a spade a spade, people can just be wicked and mean, inhuman to others, I'm not perfect, but let's reason like someone that have blood and water in us. I sent taxify message this morning they should try and protect the driver and not the stupid price fixing and the purpose for it is already defeated, I have a woman that is still yet to give me my 1600 since last night after spending like 35 mins in traffic. I have her picture on my phone and may probably spread it online if she push me. Give me ur acct is now a norm, can they tell danfo conductor such?

They have turned Uber drivers to "A lender of Last Resort" aka CBN. When riders on cash trips have liquidity crisis, they expect Uber drivers to give them some hours/days to sort out there financial difficulties, before they can transfer the amount due, i think it would be fair for uber drivers to start charging interest rate for any late transfer from riders, any banker in the house should advise accordingly.
