∆∆∆ This is what you guys should explain well to the guys who think bombedibomb takes home 1m per month. He works 30 days and takes about 600k home.
All the 1m and 1.5m dash board ends in 600k take home

------------Modified------------
Mind you, out of that 600k. You will remove car service money, feeding for you and family, family/house bills, airtime and data etc..

Omoapena:


but you claim you gross 55k anytime you go out, isn't that above 1.5m in a month if you work 30days?

I said between 50 to 55

55k - 20k fuel 35k.
35k - 13750(commission)
Bal 21250.
I don't work on Wednesdays and Sundays.
21250 by 5 days 106250
106250 by 4(a month) 425000

Even if I work all the days of the month, I still won't make 1.5 million. I won't even make 1 million.
21250 by 30 is 637500

👇 Yesterday
Bargained 12k with indrive rider

I just pity a lot of newbies reading sweet comments and seeing juicy figures!

The app is open to everyone. The roads are free and open to everyone. Fuel dey filling station boku! Chuk head and see for yasef! Simple.

tobby98:

I really appreciate you for your contribution, people like you are why newbies won't have a hard time adjusting to the ehailing hustle. But another question, is your vehicle v4? Why does it consume much fuel? And on weekends? What is the estimate one can make? Lastly i do drive at night normally coz i stay here on the Island not beyond Alfred Rewane, Ikoyi. Do you think I can do night trips? Just within Ikoyi, Lekki peninsula 1 or VI. Never going beyond here if it is night trip. Thanks in anticipation

Yes it is v4. I guess it consumes fuel cos I don't have catalyst. 2ndly, No thermostat(thanks but no thanks to mechanic)
Before, on weekends you make more than weekdays, but now no difference or no much difference. I still make same or almost same on weekends....maybe a diff. of 5k. I don't work on Sundays.

Yes you can do night trips if you want. Some people here do night trips. Infact bombedibomb is a night worker and he makes even FAR MORE! He makes 1 million a month.
Personally, I do NOT like night work for security reasons. It's really dangerous. Some of the drivers killed, were killed at night.
If you insist, just be vigilant. Don't carry more than 1 guy and let the person sit in front.

tobby98:

Thanks so much for your input, but how much realistically can one make in a week with prevailing rates and in of positioning, since i am on the Island, how do i put my choice destination on the app, and lastly, which is the best app for a newbie. What's their percentage?

How much you make depends on you and your car. For me, I buy 20k fuel and make 50/55k gross per day.(20k net)
I use 08/09 Toyota Camry muscle and it consumes fuel. I come out around 10am and close 6pm. Infact today I started around 11:30am(family runs) and still grossed 53k.
I use bolt and indrive. Bolt charges 25% commission, but they give 10% bonus on commission after first 4 trips.
Indrive charges 10% commission, but many a times their prices are ridiculous.
You can put your choice destination on bolt, but you have only 2 per day. You can also cancel trips showing destinations that you don't want to go. Bolt is best for you for a start.


Just test run and see how it is!

@YeyeGbami
Apart from the correction, the guy said he thought of driving it himself, which is better than giving it out, since he works once in a week. He has about 5/6 days to hustle.
He only needs help and clarification as to which app to use.

My brother tobby, you can start with bolt and uber. Since you stay on the island, take your car with documents to: 11 providence street, lekki phase 1(bolt office) and they will put you through on registration. It doesn't take time. You can do it in a day and start work the next day.
The areas to work you mentioned are better. That's exactly where majority work, including me.

Best of luck

dav1002:


No impact is always felt after this Una protest

Doesn't that tell you guys that your protest is always futile
App coys have no physical office you call hold, you guys don't have union how then do you expect your protest to work?
It's best you guys stop wasting your time on it

I thought I mentioned why no impact was felt.
App companies have office. Pls ask questions.
There's a union. I repeat again, ask questions

dav1002:


Since today, any difference in fares after your protest?

Why would you expect change when majority of you didn't comply? There was no impact made cos a lot of drivers worked on that day

At times the way some of you wrong things here baffles me. I'll not call names but then I'll not close my mouth about it either.

1st, a rider in Abuja complained about a high fare and making sure the driver's CNG was removed. I'm not in of that driver at all. 30k is much.....I mean too much for that distance....and he's using CNG!

2ndly, drivers protested yesterday by staying at home and some people think they don't know what they're doing!
Do you like the ridiculous fares you see? Do you like the way these apps ignore drivers and treat drivers anyhow?
You want change but you don't want to fight for it!

Biodun1929:


Dude, you're an expert na. I'm a newbie. I really wanted to get some experience. And after that day, I stopped, cos I knew it didn't make sense.

I understand your pain brother.
Your car consumes more fuel but then it isn't the only issue, cos I use a higher litre engine(2.4L) and I buy 20k fuel to make 50/55k gross. At least after all deductions, I still take home about 20k, and my car also consume fuel.

I think you're picking the wrong trips. on bolt and use bolt for now. Don't worry about the acceptance rate, it isn't so important. Mine is about 16 or so. You can still reject rides you don't want.

Indrive is a messed up app(I still use it though) Imagine a ride that is 19500 when it was raining heavily yesterday, rider reduced it to 12k and someone picked it.

You can also use both apps if you insist on using indrive, but then make sure you check how much they charge to go to an area before picking trips for that area. E.g: if you choose to go to lekki, check on indrive how much it will cost to go to lekki, then switch back to driver mode before picking. It will guide you.

Finally, check if you still have catalyst in your car, if you don't, then try to fix it.

All the best

ReadaDream:
Are you sure you don't have it?...

No, I don't

Conner44:

I've never done that CMR or ECMR stuff, I don't even know what it looks like and funny enough nobody has asked me for it.

Just do it to avoid police wahala. I'm already on it, but it's still rolling.....unable to bring up payment section

Omoapena:


No, it's a 1 time document you get when doing change of ownership or ing a new car...

Ok, thanks. I've seen it.

Omoapena:


scroll up, you will see an image I ed you will find allocation among the documents..

Do they renew it?

Omoapena:


allocation form is necessary tho, it's like a form you fill when ing a car in your name, police do ask for that sometimes.

Can I see a sample, so I can check with my papers

Pearl1910:

You must have a minimum of 8 Documents when driving. And they must be valid and current.
1. Allocation form
2. Police CMR

I don't have the CMR and I've never been asked for it when stopped. I guess Tinubu regime started it. Is it really compulsory?

Which one is allocation form again?

Omoapena:


you dey talk like say you never do something to scale through a tedious process.

cut me that crap of forming here..

I'm not forming. I don't cut corners. Telling me to sit down like I'm standing in your house or your way is irrelevant to the talk.
You have been known as one who loves to cut corners and cheat. So I understand where your anger is coming from.

Omoapena:


lolz, maybe you didn't read where he said he has cover letter and temporary DL isn't ready, he only wants to use his friends license to on the app since they don't accept cover letter. no be say nah hin friend license hin wan dey show police for road.

our holy Barbiturate 😁

For the "holy barbiturate", I'm only obeying 1st Peter 1:16.
Using his friend's DL on the app and using it to work is still impersonation, there's no 2 ways about it. I don't know how a right thinking person would want to justify such!

There's no hurry in life! After cover letter, he would definitely be captured and after capture, they will issue temporary DL, which is actually given the day of capture.

Advising people on how to cut corners is shameful to say the least.

Ajibaiye:

My driver Licence is not ready but i have a friend who has, can I use his info to

You don't need to use anybody's DL. If you go for capture, they will give you a temporary DL. You can use that. Even when it expires and your original DL isn't ready, they(DL's office) will stamp, sign and extend the date further on a photocopied temporary DL. What you want to do is impersonation. It is an offence against the law. Don't do it

Omoapena:


your friend is overzealous and doesn't know the current reality of ehailing..


2years isn't feasible at all, he should calm down and enter the ehailing to understand the current reality of the job before expecting himself to complete the payment under 2years.

Bombedibomb is making 1 million in a month. That's 12 million in a year. 24 million in 2 years. Why can't he make it in 2 years? By your own 56k weekly, he will make it in 2 years. Cut the guy some slack biko 😊
The hustle is VERY profitable now, more than ever 😊

Prices are too cheap....even on Monday(both Indrive and bolt)

Omoapena:


you think it will be difficult to get someone?

non of my biz

Omoapena:
3hours work this morning with 7k fuel,
net of 12k in 3hours and someone said drivers should deliver 5k in a day🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

no be someone, na me 😊
I trust you've seen a driver

Glithronix:
Wetin dey happen for island this morning again?
Why everywhere red like pepper?

Heard cars were not allowed to enter or go out of banana due to the protest against the demolition of their club. So it caused serious traffic on Alexander to link bridge and other surrounding areas

Eyinola1:
u can castigate the babe for wrong behaviour but nothing like a fucking hairdresser, its a legit work my brother ✌️

Well said

Omoapena:

Barbiturate, Nairaland syndrome is taking a toll on you o, I know you as someone who never dishes out insult, what's happening

I'm still that cool guy 😊

sandammy:

dav1002:


People are spending just 50k maintenance in a month and are making millions

You instead is making 33500 yet spending 50k on maintenance DAILY 😂

Me sef taya for myself 😫


For people talking about car condition. My car is sound. 08 Camry muscle. Bought it tokunbo

Biodun1929:
This business really takes a toll on one's car. Now I understand my friend when he said he stopped cos he was using most of the money he made from uber/bolt to repair his car.

They will come for you!
Let me guess the line......"he's not using the right tool"

I have spent over 200k in a month fixing my car. If it's not engine, it's cranshaft or cranshaft sensor. Just changed tyres this afternoon. Got a trip on bolt to ajah for 16k. Another from Ajah to Anthony village 17500. I don dey happy say the day is going well until tyre kpafuka. 50k don go for tyre and alignment.

Don't get it twisted....people are making millions in this same hustle 😊
