in any case, to the guy that I asked me how is my daily schedule now, this is what im doing currently:

1. I take it as my first daily quest, to obtain rm60 for FUEL ONLY. I set that money aside as soon as I get them. I will not exceed rm60 in fuel everyday!

2. DO NOT TOUCH the money in cash wallet now matter what! (I only use those money to topup my grab wallet)

3. I make sure everyday I earn minimum nett profit rm100 (already minus fuel). If I spend some money on toll, then ill do more jobs to exceed rm100 again for that day! after I hit rm100 daily target, I will check the time, if its not 9pm yet, ill keep going till I get rm150 nett profit! (I will take my last job if its past 8:50pm or something...)

4. Once I reached home, Ill calculate my earnings. If it doesnt exceed rm150, ONLY THEN will I withdraw the money from cash wallet to topup my cash earning so it become rm150 for that day!

5. Chasing for jobs in hotspot area is fine, but heres a trick: DO NOT USE TOLL ROAD! the point is to get jobs along the way! if you use toll road, what if you already pay for toll then suddenly u got an rm5 job that requires you to exit the highway? worse, what if u had to make a u-turn? then deficit already... If u dun accept, ur AR will be affected. not to mention your CR... so my tip is, lets say ure in a cold spot, and u wanna move to subang for example that is red hot atm, set your waze to go there, but go to routes, and choose the one that doesnt go thru toll. chances are, within 5 minutes of driving to ur destination, u will get a job. just accept whatever job that is handed to you!

6. I learned the hard way that everyday, after 4pm, KL is a nightmare. so today is the first time, I earned rm150 nett profit by 6.30pm!!! trick is, after my ordeal of ragequitting early yesterday and earning only rm30+ after stuck in traffic jam in kl from morning till efternoon lol what I did was, today I became selective. Any job that headed towards KL, I mati-mati tak mau accept hahaha. It was totally worth it! today I didnt enter KL at all and I finish much faster and consumed much less fuel! (I only spent rm50 on fuel today!)

7. ATM, dont just do HG even if youre on the scheme! do both flexi and HG, but decide carefully where you wanna go and when to avoid certain places. grab has so many drivers now, that competition is crazy! you are in no position to be choosy.

8. I should probably add that im doing this grab full time atm, and I started before 7am and my deadline is 9pm everyday. I stopped at 9 cuz usually itll take me sometimes 1 hour to go back to my place.

ps: this is only my 3rd week of doing HG. as i move farther down this line, and learn more stuff, ill keep updating my progress and sharing whatever I can! THANK YOU VERY MUCH again to all the sifus taht helped me stood back up after I fell down! I owe you guys so much, you have no idea! Also I should probably mention that im only doing grab full time atm, because I will have a full time job starting august or september, maybe as early as july, who knows. Im just doing this grab to fill in the void before my full time job started! (btw my full time job I will earn less than I can potentially earn if I do grab full time lol. so Ill probably still do grab part time in the future!) rclxs0.gif

Thank you for writing and sharing your ups and downs, your sorrow but later, happiness. Thank you for answering and helping others with their enquiries. Please don't stop sharing and helping others bcos you know how bad it is when you down and out with no one to turn to. Help them to bcum terror like you... Hahaha...  thumbsup.gif

The first week of puasa have many challenges and trophies. From surges, raining, buka puasa and KLIA red dot most of the time. Did you change any of your grab routines for Puasa? Any tips to share? Driver who works as hard as you sure have stories to tell. Most of us have never experienced Puasa time grab... hmm.gif

The scattered green in grab map is a lot of meaning for a lot of drivers. Sum1 complain no ping even though sum others say ping non stop... Depends on the area and hour you work but also depend on the driver + Grab system. Last Saturday I manage to score RM100 incen only from 9am to 3pm and suddenly for sunday, grab start throwing me all Rm20 and above fares (just to make sure I dun earn anymore incen). I'm sure the place I camp got bilis but no. Did you encountered similar experience?  icon_idea.gif
*
i noticed some patterns too! (but let me go thru the week first before I jump to a hypothesis haha)

for once, traffic jams is a sure thing in kl, nothing new bout that. but ping seems to be a bit lesser now. I noticed I got more ping going to kl from outside kl, than from inside kl to elsewhere... but then again, due to bad experience on saturday, when despite nothing happening, kl is packed and jammed all day, I decided Im gonna try my best to avoid kl temporarily. and another thing, because muslims woke up super early during fasting month, expect traffic jams as early as 6am. From where I live, I can see the highway clearly cuz my room is facing it, and I noticed the volume of cars entering highway to go to KL is super crazy, too early in the morning... to day I actually decided to start work late because of that, from 9am instead of 7am lol

I dunno about you guys, but I think the ping from inside KL might be slightly less frequent atm during fasting month, probably cuz the muslims arent going out to eat. I talked with some office workers, they told me their muslims colleague just find someplace to rest and have an afternoon siesta instead.

regarding the KLIA thing, I only noticed the red dots on it today! I noticed its been red most of the time, peak hour or not. I wonder why...

so far, the only thing I have planned to change is if im gonna take jobs from KL, I make sure the final hour Im still in KL is 2pm the latest. after that Im gonna prowl around the outskirts for those short trips, then finally head to area closer to seri kembangan where i live. and only take jobs from there afterward (or depending on income, stop for the day and prowl pasar ramadhan hehe) but for now, give me the whole week to learn the pattern hehe. Ive only got till the 8th to work and collect funds, after that ill go back to my hometown in Kuching until after raya to celebrate tongue.gif

in any case, Ill keep updating latest finds in here~
please share useful info too if you discover anything ya? we still need as much help as possible haha

guys, heres an update I forgot to mention:

I dunno about you guys, but I personally will never ever accept job if it is GrabShare. even if I accept it, Ill cancel it immediately later depending on how much AR I have atm lol

its not worth doing guys. imagine driving 1 hour for an rm10 jobs. just dont do it.
also, 99% of the time, u will never get matched. which means, ure stuck with minimal pay for driving long distance.

im guessing the kevin guy up there is the type of person who reads prologue in a novel, then write a critics review summing up the whole novel without ever reading it thru. XD

Ya, just now I drove 2MP and 2 UP, earned rm54 total in 2 hours. Kuching fares are a lot lower than Klang it seems. Airport trip 20+ km only rm18.

its not the distance. its the time consumed as well taken into calculation. KLIA is wayyyy at hujung negeri, almost entered different state from the city centre. got to pass thru tolll summore. of course its expensive tongue.gif
