Some other time leave "gross" alone. Talk about your Net. No one is interested in your gross. Gross makes you think you have made enough. But by the time you deduct all the deductibles what remains is the reality.
So keep your dashboard bro.

I hope you will show us the dash again tomoro?

First of all, you don’t have any business with what my net is. You can use the ongoing commission rate to calculate it. I only answered a question with proof. Did you see where i said ‘managed?’ Which goes to show that it is not a regular occurrence; heck I’ve not been driving regularly.

If you think I put that dashboard there to showoff, well you might be correct but that would solely remain your opinion and any other person’s that thinks along the same line.

Stop looking at the messenger and focus on the message.

I know that bolt ban is wounding you. Calm yourself down.

dckng16:
Hope you re setting money aside to pay outstanding debt, Cos by time you minus fuel money, 20% commission and feeding and data and call cards and other small expenses, nah small portion of 17k will remain. Dashboard earning is not the best way to know how much you actually earn, it is final money in your bank after expenses, Forget that crap

*sigh

Do you understand the meaning of gross?

OJURONGBE1:



Bro, they said i need to pay commitment fee of 15k with 20k weekly remittance.
Pope , kodrex and others on rentals please is averaging 20k net feasible this period?
Its been long i drove on the platform and i was content with whatsoever i made with my Ford Mondeo.

Well I’ve not been driving actively but I managed to gross 14k today (9am-8:30pm) with breaks in between. 15k is not bad for weekly rentals though.

Lush100:


Wow, guys are not smiling these days. Will behaving myself these days

Glad you got the message

This happened last year.

I got a trip around agungi by 10:30pm. I was around ilefo link road around agungi. Destination Christ Ave. Called rider.

Me- Hello good evening I’m at ilefo link road
Rider- Okay come to rockaid pharmacy
Me- Okay
Looked at the PU, it’s just about 100m from where i parked.

Drove there called rider.

Me- Hey I’m here
Rider- Where? I can’t see you
Me- I’m parked right at the front of rockaid
Rider- Oga I said you’re not here abi are you deaf
Me- Can you describe the place where you are?
Rider- Oga can’t you follow your map or are you blind
Me- Haba I am staring at one rockaid here or is there another?
Rider- Oga don’t ask me questions, ask people there. please hurry up abeg you’re wasting my time.
Me- Okay.

Asked around and got to know there is another rockaid pharmacy at the corner to the left from the roundabout.

Got there, called rider.

Me- I’m here o.
Rider- Okay I’m coming

Waited for another 5 minutes because the rider was not done. Eventually she came out and entered the car. One look from me and she greeted good evening. I responded and we proceeded on the trip. When we got to the traffic light at circle mall, a call came, apparently it was her boyfriend and she discharged him that I’m sure you are as tired as I am boo. Just go have your bath, we’ll talk when you’re rested. Werey girl now called the guy she was going to meet to try to wait for her somewhere close to the street we were heading to. After about 2 mins, I calmly said, so your name is efe right?

Rider- yes what happen
Me- so you’re a warri girl ba
Rider- Yes
Me- I know. I know that’s how rude you girls talk and behave. I have lived in warri and I’ve come across a lot of your type.
Rider- Oga I’m sorry

Rider- Oga I said I’m sorry na abeg no vex
Me- So you think say the craze wey you carry every other person own as per say na warri you be. No worry I go show you.

By this time she was already getting scared and begging profusely.

Entered freedom way and stepped on the gas.

Me- No o no problem it’s fine na just one small black something I wan show you next time you go behave. No beg me again sheybi you don do your own.
Rider- Hey God o abeg oga I take God beg you nor mind me *talking to herself* efe I don tell you say you go put yourself for trouble with this mouth one day.

i just dey laugh uncontrollably for my mind.
Entered iralty road and was driving real fast while laughing. In a fleeting second I ed christ avenue and when I realized I braked real hard.

Na so the girl kneel down inside motor start to dey beg with one hand to open the door.

Me- if I mess you up here now, wetin them go say happen?
Rider- oga I take God beg you na my period cause am abeg na only daughter I be.

Coincidentally, the guy she was going to meet was waiting about 20m from where we parked. He then called and she picked and the whole is that you bla bla ensued.

Mhen the girl was so happy na so she drop 2k jump comot from motor run go meet the guy. I just laughed and drove off.

SaintHilary:

So you somehow waited till she came out.
Only for you to cancel there after

Na Dru get ena power here sumtimes

Yes because I knew to get another would be hard and would further waste her time. No be force be everything. I didn’t mind waiting because I had an endgame.

Felicity0001:

What assumptions are you still wasting precious time on?

Nobody will have such impetus to pull such stunt without being in his/her area let alone a little boy that knows I could easily crush him like a tractor.

Guy, the matter happen for him area Adedokun Street, Mushin and if unfortunately the matter set trust men go show. As a matter of fact I don already place call to one or two persons b4 stepping out of the car so leave that talk about assault my mumu no reach that height.

Anywhere I find myself either in lagos, outta Lagos or Nigeria first thing I do is pin a tent of human defense, if e set na settlement go end am las las

Egungun be careful na express you dey go.

Felicity0001:

Guy some riders are a disguise in their approach on phone why some are not.

Why are snakes regarded as one of the most dangerous animals on earrh? A cobra can hide in the sand just attack, how about a green snake? So drop it!.

2days ago a lady with calm gentle voice and with good manners kept me waiting for over 15mintues that was after several calls I'd put through to get the right PU address and even pee after arriving, came back to thw car call again. After about almost 20min of waiting I'd had to cancel after driving out. It took her another 10min before calling asking me where I was, still in her gentle and calm voice on the phone.

So guy hash all those preaches, you probably didnt meet the ugly once or maybe the good hadn't gone bad during the time you rode; I encourage you to do a 1 week test one of these days then come back and tell us how far.

I had a rider like that yesterday. After waiting for more than 15mins, she came and said she wanted to pick up something from the boutique just in front of us. I was looking at her plainly without emotions. I took out my phone and checked the riders app, to get another driver in that location would take another 15-20 mins as drivers were not around the area. I smiled.

I looked at the boutique and saw them removing clothes from the mannequin for her to still check out all these was going to another 5-10 mins of waiting. She later came out and was trying to open the door which I already central locked.

Me- yes hello can I help you?
Rider- oga open your door, I’m late for this trip abeg let’s hurry it’s getting dark.

I just shook my head and jejely canceled the ride because Lord knows that I will most definitely fling her out of my car when we get to 3mb.

I would have wanted to make the ride hellish for her for being insensitive but alas I just shook my head and said this one is not worth the stress. I only stress when you threaten my life/property anything aside that abeg carry your wahala dey go.

Bro, it has nothing to do with ego. No one with ego does this business in the first place, let alone doing over 1500 trips. I have met the good, the bad and the ugly. At the end of the day, we are all humans and can't keep eating shit because of money or to avoid being judged.

We also have a duty to change our community the best way we can. Sometimes, force may be the only option left. If we just sit there and keep watching our fellow humans behave like animals and mistreat us, then our reason for existence becomes irrelevant by our inaction.

It doesn't make sense to keep serving a community that abuses you. You have to make an effort to keep it in check, the smallest of effort may go a long way. Using a whip on an adult may not be the best, it's on the extreme, but don't sit there and watch yourself being bashed just because you only have money on your mind.

As for pepper spray, it's my first line of defense and everyone should have it. You just have to know where and when to use it. If you arrest me unjustly and I see that my path is clear, I'll pepper spray you, push you out of my car and make a run for it. Lagos is not where you allow every Tom, Dick and Harry to ram you up and down.

You’re supposed to be intelligent or street smart. When you call a rider, can’t you guess from their tone how their attitude might be? Yet sometimes after the perceived notion that this might be trouble, you accept the trip and come here later to lament how the rider maltreated and abused you. What were you expecting?

You can’t keep eating shit, simply quit and never get to deal with any ill-mannered rider. You want to use force to treat your fellow man or else your existence becomes irrelevant lol

Take deep breaths with your diaphragm bro. It’s really good for the mind and body. Cheers

Felicity0001:

I actually thought I've seen it all only for me to experience the height of them all just few minutes back.

After buying and changing two tyers at ladipo, I got this request going to ketu.

I put a call through immidiately I entered the PU area. Rider said he was off the street but walking down to my location so I should drive down to No8 on thw street. Made a turn and parked in a safe place waiting.
After like 2min rider was no where to be found, I called again but this time he said I'd past him so I should come back a little, I was like but you said you're already coming why not just walk down and meet me up because this street is so narrow with double parking on it but rider said he was carrying a pot of soup along.
Me: a pot of soup?!! Sorry I'm not going.
R: ok, cancel.
I cancelled with the option of I don't wish to serve this rider.
Immediately after his request came in again, I've to accept with the vail of wait for 5min before cancelling but he cancelled. This happened like twice. The 3rd one I did likewise and while waiting for the 5min to cancel I saw a littlw boy within the age of 16-18 years.

R: with a rude voice, why do you keep accepting my request when you already said you're not going, can you cancel the trip.
Me: still trying to think of what to saynto the little boy due to its smallishness and rudeness and I that could entered my mind to tell h8m while he was still ranting at yhe top of his voice was "I'll cancel when I'm ok to do". It was like that was a bomb on his ears
R: are you fucking kidding me I said cancel.... He was still shouting and insulting.
I just looked at him and then started my car engine turned on the AC and rolled up.

This time it was like I fueled the whole thing. Boy started to hit my side glass, like he knew it will break he then started to hit the door and aide mirrow to an extend that the croom guilding the glass pulled of... At this time people around that knows him started coming n calling him.

One Bros he explained to walked to me to ask what happened but I just kept quiet didn't say a word for like 5min.

To cut it shot, everybody on the street gathered begging me and almost beat him up na me com dey beg for am las las.

One elderly Bros said, baba any action I want to take I should let them know they will me.

I then said, "the society we live produce the kind of people in it, if an arm rubber comes out of the society part from it being a personal choice it's also a function of the society because some persons in the society and encouraged that child when he started stealing before growing up to became an highway rubber, in a nut shell, you all didn't him so that's enough".

I arranged the little damage he caused, thanked all of them while they all both old, age mate and young thanked me, entered my car, took a deep breath, drank the remaining bottle water left in my water bottle and off I went.

Why didn’t you just go offline so the young man could book another driver?

Assuming you were in the midst of the wrong set of people (his guys), what would be the story? Them go arrest them surely, but how you go be after the assault?

You know what? I’m sorry. Flog any rider that errs. Discipline their soul .

ndubuis:

Looks like Uber have forgotten their rules. Just rated this fool 1star on Uber after I rejected her request for me to wait for her and take her back. A very rude bastard. Already on the express, another request came my way, didn't think twice about picking it, I was shocked it was the same girl I just dropped off. I didn't want to cancel because I have not been driving for some time, asked her to cancel and was met with serious insults plus death threats. Drove back to where I dropped her, thinking I'd still meet her there but she was no where to be found.

I go dey carry koboko for my car from this day forward. Koboko to flog stupid riders. Pepper spray for touts and Lastma. I really do not care if I get removed from the app. If you do any how because you are going to pay me peanut, you will be met with serious fire and fury. Fxxk that crazy talk about rider being king.

That’s EGO right there speaking. Now I’m not advocating for bad riders or something but sometimes you all just have to act like STONE. See nothing, hear nothing, absorb nothing.

You wan whip person lol you never jam craze be that. Guy just take deep breaths and you’d be fine.

You don breathe finish? Now carefully think about this....’if I get yanked off the app, who loses?’, ‘If I pepper spray touts/lastma and them catch me, who go lose?’

Be easy bro, focus on the mulla and ignore the uncouth sons/daughters of bitche.s.


My advice: When leaving the house, drop your your ego, sentiment(s), religious belief, political view and just be a STONE.

Felicity0001:

How about with drivers?

You seems to be placing all the values on riders without even thinking about the value of drivers. Does it mean to you that the provider of services dont have a value to the services they're providing? If they don't why then do you think riders are after getting services drivers provide even with the surge.

Change this thinking of your and begin to c things differently.

In other sense you're in of all the ills riders perpetrate daily.

You see, you have to change your perspective. You have to stop being emotional in business.

Ask yourself why bolt or uber don’t yank low rated riders off the platform. It’s not about them not caring (well not entirely), it’s about the money bro. They have come to realize that they’d be the ones to lose if they keep yanking riders off. The competition is stiff and they can’t be forming now because all it takes for a rider is to just a new .

Ask yourself this question again...why does bolt pardon me and allow me on their app even when my ratings dropped beyond their acceptable ratings? Yea, you got that right, to keep the money coming. They control the system here that enables you network and make money at your ‘free’ time. They can’t run out of drivers as long as they have riders (bolt comes to mind).

The value you speak of can and is being delivered by a million and one people so brotherly the power has shifted from your hand. In fact the highest thing a driver can do is ‘I’m not going on this trip’, and the riders will get another that will go.

The drivers are independent individuals that hold no commitment towards one particular company. They move to where is convenient for them so why should the app companies care that much when drivers don’t really care about them?

Do you now see why riders are very important? They are the market and we all are just traders in the market trading skill for money.

davit:
I hope you know that they may end up giving you low rating? They determine what rate you get. And some that you are even nice to might end up giving you low rating. That s how the system is structured.

That is why they are the boss. He who pays the piper calls the tune. For without riders (consumers), there would be no drivers.

Felicity0001:

Doesn't the same programm also meant to curb out driver with rating below 4.3 or there about?

Isn't the same program written so as drivers activity scores isn't affect thereby getting axed or penalize due to high cancellation rate provided the all protocols before cancellations are observed?

The other someone posted a screenshot of a rider with 1star rating. You now begin to ask yourself how come the program has such people and are still active making request in the system.

So, Brother man corruption, greed and indiscipline are the reasons for all of these. Even you're not ledt out because if we are to investigate or you're to be honest you'll know off trip was the reason for that high cancellation rate.

Anyways, man must survive but for the sake of next time learn to be more smart. I hope they unblock you soon so you don't loose your source of livelihood.

It is simple, the riders are the ones with the CASH.

Felicity0001:

Blood of jezuzz!!!

The engine in this context na brain o abeg make una no let JOB me by with all these unfounded rumors. Fantastically corrupt drivers!

radautoworks:


Yeah, I've got a great PA. I'll be needing a replacement though as he was supposed to be moving overseas this year but covid don scatter everything.

So he’s not moving again

radautoworks:


It's not already existing. I'm trying to create positions and/or force my cohorts to translate skills you have to the workplace.

I get you but my submission is still valid though i.e when the roles are created.

Thank you on behalf of everyone for thinking . Las Las you don turn our mummy for here ba lol

Do you have PA?

chillex8:

Make I call Glen for fone

radautoworks:


Maybe one or two and if any of my cohorts is hiring. Always thinking, always planning.

Nice looking out. If that’s the case though, I think it’d just be best to put the job link and expected salary here, then advise applicants to put you as a reference or copy in the mail application.

Quoting a figure might be counterproductive as people that quoted higher might want to compromise and vice versa. Nice one Mrs. Rad. More oils to your engine.

radautoworks:
QUESTION FOR THE HOUSE.

in light of these trying times, what salary would you take to go back to a regular job?

Do you want to give us job?

Felicity0001:
And finally bolt unblocked my .

I just weak for this ye ye company call bolt.

kneo:

Gratitude bro.

kneo:
#5000, #6000, #7000. ,#8000 and maybe #9000 on a good day. Those are gross figures. Take off your expenses and see what remains.

How many hours of Work?

Please guys that are actively working, how much do you gross in a day?

lexylexy:



That's why they compelled everyone to wear mask. If the infected person is putting on a mask, this will prevent the droplets from escaping. That's why you need to insist on your riders to always have the mask on.

I totally agree with you. The ‘mask on’ directive definitely will help keep the droplets in place. If riders and drivers are on masks, is it safe then to turn on the AC?

pope191:


Pardon my ignorance cos I always here come in with and now you've said it can enter thro eyes and ears... Is the virus airborne? Or it takes the droplet from one person to another for transmission to take place?

If an infected person speaks, droplets escapes from the person’s mouth and can remain in the air for more than 4 hours according to them.

So yea it can get in through the eyes, not just by touching your eyes with an infected hand.

OJURONGBE1:



*Laughs *
That car was like putting a squirrel into one's pocket, it dug deep into my pants which in turn made a grown man cry. My efforts to trade it have been futile until someone offered 400k recently. I have pleaded with him to round it up to 500k, so i can move on and count my losses like the fellow who sold 2008 Volkswagen at for 800k.

Thank God for your life. So you intend using your brother’s car or you got another?

OJURONGBE1:




Chai! my inspection report don expire since April.
Infinityestates, abeg how you take do your reinspection?

I think the surest is to go to that forte gas station at onipanu. Btw, have you been able to subdue the evil spirit in your car?

InfinityEstates:


Boss, abeg which of the Total ShopRite?

It should be the one beside palms shopping mall.

knytred:
I think Uber is charging slightly above 25%

Nope. Add the wait time to the fare and do the calculations.

radautoworks:


Canada has always been very strict.

I feel they are denying us now because of our herd mindset. Everybody in Nigeria wants to go to canada now. Of course them go do shakara na

Babadee1900:
My younger brother has been cashing out from Forex for the past 6 months now and the boy no tell me. He has a plug that gives him 20% of his capital every week but the guy stopped doing the weekly payment in April and changed to 20% monthly due to the Corona palava. Now he has about 500k Capital with his plug, come May ending his 100k is sure.

Meanwhile I paid 100$ to learn Forex trading last year but fear no gree me enter trade . I only play around with BTC now by buying and Holding it.

See sweet ive income without stress. Even if the stuff crashes, your bro has made his capital back. Forex trading requires a sound, calculative, informed and pressure-free mind.
