so? i was in constant contact with ppl there who were.

Everywhere also same lah, when rainy days confirm bonus lower than the actual minutes u driven.

Is not incompetent, is a good side income for staff inside.

Now i suspect those modded apps hijack trip by not affecting everyone AR, i always see some big fare job appear then all out of sudden it cancel when i'm not using AA.

I cant answer why their technical team so incompetent..I wished they were no cheaters too,


but your next few sentences bother me. Grab is a business. they provide us a way to get customer we cant get by ourselves. It is a JOB for us to drive passengers around in return for money. no one said work is supposed to be enjoyable...that's why its called WORK. Its perfectly alright if you think the work is paying too little for it to be worth your time or effort.

And your point is? The old genting taxi station which is near to the junction between Westin,JW marriot hotel back area? Guess what, we got so sick of playing short cut while driving in a hastily manner just to avoid the jam.

How funny, I wasn't even trying to be sarcastic and this all you can reply? Save that toxic comment, I'm not pushing my or bragging my seniority in grab, but I've taken more bullets,bites,dust more than you with the way you are name calling people as cherry pickers. Oh yes, I too was once like you, blaming for the far pickup distance, unwanted trips which would get me stuck in a jam during those HG days due to those so called cherry pickers camping at short trip spots.

Guess what, karma's a bitch, you will bound to be the cherry pickers sooner or later.

As the saying goes, the first to laugh is the first to lose. Let's see who's the real boy or real kid.

Good for you then, ever since the driver allocation algorithm is rigged by them, and you're still getting nearer jobs which is good for you and your mileage.

Iinm, you are not from one of the big cities, where incentives are not so good right. Might not solve your problem, but my humble opinion is you voice out your suggestions or displeasure to grab. Or ask some of your fellow colleagues together. Because grab make the programs and decisions.
Happy grabbing in 2019 =)

We all knew what was coming, but didn't expect that the High Fare mechanics system was so badly hammered down.

One of our close friend, who's driver account got banned permanently over a simple misunderstanding between a passenger. He had to resort to using somebody's name to drive at the moment. And so luckily that this 'other' persons bank account has issues with the bank and all withdrawals are currently freezed. If he turned on AA, most of the jobs will be in mixture of PROMO,GRABPAY or CASH. Do you think he dared risked the CR just to select only cash/promo payment types? The new year is ushering in, he has a family to take care of, mouths to feed, childrens to send to school. AA??? He tried to appeal but Grab only kept giving him the cold shoulders and ask him to go fly kite.

End of the day, they are providing us the platform, if you want the incentives, you gotta play to my rules. If you do not want, then go on and pick till you get locked out of the system.

I've come from the guarantee per trip days and I would say they are really squeezing out the drivers and riders dry. The days of incentives are long gone.

In a way, Auto Accept is actually helping to address this "not interesting" trips. By compensating you the time to reach, distance to reach, and duration and distance to complete. But as you drive longer and longer for them, you will find that it gets into your mind. Given a person with a 999 EQ level, he will also breakdown at one point due to frustration because of facing riders behaviors and the traffic congestion.

I agree. this is a fair point. burnout is very real in this line. especially if you put in very long hours to meet your commitments which for the average grabber seems to be very high. On top of that the effect on your physical health is not good too (unhealthy eating out, late nights, sore body, stiff neck/shoulder/back). I'm in the privileged position of been able to only work as much as I need to support myself and still have time to do other things. I cant imagine the stress one faces if he does this full time to feed a whole family. IN that case I would seriously suggest he develop a sideline business of doing offline jobs/tour guide and get a six seater for Grab.

He's driving a 6-seater local made car. Illiterate, can't speak well in english, what business can he do at the moment. We've tried to advise him to move on to another better job, but people just don't want him or find him too old. So what else can he do? Start plying the streets and rob people??

I at one point had bad bowel movements due to this job. Been constipating with blood coming out due to excessive seating inside the car. Got freaked out, and stopped for a month.

The worst nightmare is breakdown are as follow - the high risk of getting heart failure and stroke due to stress, lack of exercise, inadequate sleep, immobility due confinement in the driver seat for 12 hours.

It is costly to have these two medical conditions where it may cost you thousand of ringgit beyond whatever crap boost can give you.

Drivers over 40 would be in high risk of getting deep vein thrombosis - DVT or simply means blood clot .

Sitting for long periods of time, such as when driving or flying. When your legs remain still for hours, your calf muscles don't contract, which normally helps blood circulate. Blood clots can form in the calves of your legs if your calf muscles don't move for long periods. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditi...es/syc-20352557

Your risk is higher if you are older, obese, female, smoker and have history of hypertension. Driving under stress in peanut jam and fares with a banana hanging your head would certainly aggravate the condition.

Health risk of doing grab is real, but that doesn't give you an excuse to be choosy.

My advice is we go offline every after 2 hours, do some stretching.

Regarding riders' behavior, well, a bad rider is still better than a bas boss and bad colleagues.

Ok I don't need it to be enjoyable, but at least not frustrating? Grab is good, they give you customers and listen to your complaints. For me, I enjoy doing all RM4 trips as long as it get completed within 15 minutes. But they can also give you RM4 trip that need 30-60 minutes to complete during busy hours, where is the TBB promised? Is this acceptable? Is there return of money as you mentioned? I complained to grab and they replied with "elevated to relevant department and will reply in 5 days" but no news/reply/action taken after 10 days even. FYI I drive 8-12 hours a day, 10-30 trips everyday, RM 100-200 gross everyday.

so?! u not there physically and online to accept those rm100 trips? what a waste. lol

Should drink more water and eat more fruits, i think u lacking of fiber and dehydration at that time.

Now with this new TB, can just off a while to get some rest

Make sensed. Like new year's eve i got quite good rewards, yesterday's whole day got less or none bonus considered as "payback time".

Even got free lunch or durian runtuh, just can't expected to be ate all by yourself. 1 whole cake need to distribute to so many people so fair cake-cutting system must be applied..At the moment the system not perfect yet, if u lucky u get extra , if u not lucky u get lousy wage ..

u not driving in KV ?

in KV, getting RM100 and RM200 gross for 8-12 hours is not good...

Haha nice

How much u earn eh

He is driving at Sibu

Haha same like me

Now i can suka suka offline whenever i want

Yes, and over a long term is only gonna deteriorate your health. I've read some cases of taxi drivers snoozing off behind the wheel while on the road, due to lack of sleep also diet and lifestyle habits.

I take a balanced meal of meat and vege, but I guess sometimes the human body has a limit. I do keep a bottle of water in my car but is no use, sometimes you just try to avoid drinking too much because of getting stuck in jam and you find no toilet. Have to tahan if urgent.

Tb?? Sorry, we are just some average john and joe... Donno what is this tb and aa like what some here are championing about. We can just go off for a week without worrying about income.

fruits is a crucial part of fibre there. For me from 9am to 1pm i need to drink at least 1-1.5 litre of water.

When driving for grab for weekend, at morning session i only drink 500ml or lesser and i can feel a bit of constipation from there. I guess water is essential especially morning to afternoon period.

This TB complain to grab by email also took off. Complain under the fb group "Rakan grab" also useless, looking at their reply, they just didn't read the feedback for low fare, take the order no. but no feedback. They just couldn't care less about it.
