first of all, salute to fellow GRAB drivers out there.
I have quite a bit of dilemma doing GRAB. ive been doing this for the past 3 months, full time, and I'm seeing a worrying pattern to my income. I thought I might be doing something wrong, because my own experience and what I read over the internet and hearsay taht people can easily makes clean income nett profit above rm3k per month by doing GRAB.
so my daily routine is usually like this, and my expenses.
I started working from 9am and I usually do it till 9 or 10pm everyday. Sometimes I take 1 day off every week, sometimes none at all.
Expenses:
RM80+ Everyday Fuel
RM50 Everyday for GRAB Cash topup
RM20~RM30 Toll
RM20~RM30 Miscellaneous (food/tidbits)
other miscellaneous costs not included like phone bills/cleaning/car maintenance/tyres etc...
So this is pretty much my daily expenses doing GRAB from 9am~9 or 10pm everyday
with the RM50 topup, I can make RM210~RM250 gross salary everyday. Minus my expenses, I bring home less than RM50 home everyday nett profit.
At this rate I'm getting around RM1.5 only nett profit every month working my ass off everyday from morning to night with no life.
Ive heard other drivers bragging that this isnt the case and theyre making much more money than me.
Please, I beg of anyone that can help me. what am I doing wrong? How can I improve myself? I desperately need to improve... Im seriously at a loss.
hi bro, looking at your expenses is really kinda high
Expenses:
RM80+ Everyday Fuel (you drive 400km a day chasing red spot? you need to find a spot which is suitable to your driving area and which incentive you take)
RM50 Everyday for GRAB Cash topup (normal lah top up)
RM20~RM30 Toll (toll is paid by rider unless its your own during chasing the red spot so try not to pass by toll or chase red spot)
RM20~RM30 Miscellaneous (food/tidbits) (i think quite standard for whole day)
try to hit minimum RM30 per hour inclusive incentive. chasing red spot is not the way for me, instead of moving around try park at mall or market area for like 10-15mins, no ping then move to another area. (park,wait and move) fuel saves more if you can off the engine while waiting
if still cannot, i seriously think GRAB is not suitable for you
basically your gross earning RM200 you earn is break into below
GRAB commission - 25% RM50
Petrol and maintenance - 25% RM50
Your gross before food and own toll - 50% RM50 - 20 food - 20 toll = BALANCE RM10 WTF
