Wake up from reality that there is no strong driver association which can voice out our concerns and fights for our rights. Other than writing few comments in Loke FB, is there anything else?

E hailing drivers just no united  to fight for their common interest. Every time dapur tak berasap.
*
The reason kitchen no smoke excuse is already an indication of how desperate is a person becoming a ehailing driver. Sure we can unite for half a day... Just give the cash money to the person who can join the rally, demo or whatever... problem solve... Now... who can fork out half a million cash to give ehail driver to protest? Not a single person wan to do this... No money no talk...

Just because other ehail driver got other passive income or ample money in savings account, these people always wanna go boycott larr... protest larr... how bout this... Dis person who wanna boycott... please pay rm200 to 10 people each to go with them... If 1000 ppl do this... you got a 10K of ppl to join protest...

Ehailing driver with passive income say no unity among us but unwilling to give their passive income for half a day to the other ehailing driver who dapur tak berasap. and of course dapur tak berasap will not take leave for a day without any income.

Do all see what I mean? Those who jumps all the MOT and Taxis ASSociation hoops and still driving after 12 July are the ones seriously need ehail as a living... and for those who don't... congratulations... you have other income and salary to support your lives...

Anyway, Our last hope is the rider themselves... Let them voice out after 12 july... such as surge price... waiting too long for grab... maybe some viral stories about taxis... Suara Rakyat is strong now in Malaysia Baharu...

Lol fat chance rider will fight for you. If anything whatever changes will only be bad for you and good for the riders. If you don’t want to fight for yourself  because there’s no incentive to fight then please keep quiet and go back to driving people crap driver.

This is what happen when everybody is thinking Grab drivers earning rm20k net per month. The reality is hard to even earn rm4k gross per month. We just assume the worse which is converting the status from private to commercial. That is the only criteria that most 80% of current drivers unwilling to do. Forget about boycott or protest, the regulations will kill off joy drivers and PT efficiently.

Of course for those who opt out ehailing have better choices and income to support them. Of course those who make noise can live without ehailing. Those who are quiet are those who have to drive ehailing. Without ehailing there is no food on the table. Ehailing is their one last chance to earn money and therefore they suffer in silence. Before saying there is better ways to earn money than grab... please list out your ideas... it must be without capital because with grab... just fill ur tank and drive.

We're happy that some drivers have thousand of cash in their acc. We're happy some drivers can generate income without grab. but to curse and berate others who have ZERO acc balance and have to work for a daily meal... it just showed that some of you are a insensitive human and have an arrogant personality. Try the shoes of a someone who are at wits end and have a heart, will ya?

Let say rider A kena cancellation fee from driver A, the next round he got driver B, rider A realize the cancellation was charged on him for that trip, eventually he rated driver B one star. Pity driver B, star rating drop;.....congrats crap, u did it again.

Rating is disable for the trip that have to ask for cancelation fee. But if rider decided to call cs and report... driver still kena ban.

Any experience on puasa time? Less driver on road kah? Like seriously, the first 2 weeks for me okay lah, now drive sana sini its so hard to find rider..suddenly see all this drivers gather here there sigh..

Lastly. 3 weeks on crap, my dashboard calar and got a little scratch at the car bonnet also. So much for my 1 month old honda city now..
*
Driving during puasa is a challenge. expect crazy fare during 6.30pm to 8pm. This is because all our muslim brothers break their fast and supply is very very low.

Driving new car for Grab is always gonna be pain...

QUOTE(diffyhelman @ Apr 23 2019, 09:32 PM)
The taxi drivers also have to attend class. However their PSV course fee is rm 800...vs our 200.. Now you know why they want us to take PSV also.
*
Taxi wants ehail to be dead... jumps all hoops until all ehail driver give up. Then riders have no choice to return to them(taxis). Taxis wanna kill Grab who succeed killing uber... another monopoly wants their competitor bungkusss...

QUOTE(river.sand @ Apr 25 2019, 10:03 PM)
If you used to think driving grab is the answer, that was your problem.

When I was full time Uber driver, and later Grab driver, I never stopped looking for other jobs.

Now I have a full time job. I still do grab on part time basis. Not earning much, but enough to have a better meal than zap fan.

Am I feeling better now? Absolutely. Do I hate Grab? No.
Will I tell other drivers to look for better jobs? Absolutely. Will I tell them to gantung kunci even if they are jobless? No.
*
Thank you for your kind answer. It is irresponsible to ask anyone to stop grab when they have no other alternative to earn money just yet.

It is very funny when others say there is other better ways to earn thru grab but in the same time never provide what is the other ways is...

counting my days until 1st July...then finally gantung kunci. Yesterday got 1 trip to klia then otw back another trip to putra height. Feeling not as good as before. i think my decision is correct. Just earn as much as i could then crab will become my memory. bye.gif

oh yea, yesterday rider was a minister. I explained to him that the regulation imposed to drivers. He said this 1st july is not final. They will review again and hopefully will not burden drivers. He also said 1st july thing is not a fix or permanent regulation. There will be reviews.... rclxm9.gif He also pass me his name card. yes is government name card and later i can call him if needed, thats what he said to me yesterday. icon_idea.gif

Imagine that same minister ride a taxi... then he say the opposite... 12july is final. they will not review again and hopefully put more burden to this rm20k per month ehailing drivers. Hahaha... biggrin.gif

Let them be... Play bodo once in awhile... all this clever business got us the PSV saga right? Clever ppl post their income daily and weekly at public forum. Clever ppl show off their wealth to the public. So after 12july... No posting of jerungs fares, daily and weekly income on public forum or FBs... effectively immediately... Wanna gloat and pride our income? post it in our personal group lahhh...

Thought fare is capped at 2 x max?
*
Yes fare and surge cap at 2x... fare is 70cents per km and 30cent permin... but can u count your last fare? Is it the same as the formula ablove? Anyhow, when requesting a ride, Grab give a quote, Expensive dun accept... If cheap... See which driver accept lorr...

Yes... same like when media report any crime in the news involving grab drivers even though the crimes committed got nothing to do with grab or while driving grab... and yet media say "GRAB" driver... not pemandu applikasi e-panggilan...

Ever heard the story from pax that upon moving the taxi, taximan cancel ping job and start meter? Last time foreigners always kena until I heard myself that this local makcik also kena this trick from taximan.

QUOTE(ANewcomer @ Jul 2 2019, 04:38 PM)
this sounds logic, since there are also may taxi drivers around, e-hailing companies no need to worry about the shortage of drivers.
*
Oh,, they still worry... if your company is projected to lose 50% of income generated from the 25% commission of about 200k ehailing drivers... They not worry? really? Hehehe...

Guys, may i know how much need to pay just to become grab driver?
plan to do it as part timer on weekend. Understand there is a new rules like psv test, medical check up and ehailing insurance coverage.
But what is actually the total cost needed to be spend before i am able to drive it?
*
QUOTE(yhtan @ Jul 8 2019, 12:04 AM)
E-hailing insurance - RM200 if insure value around RM30k, RM300 for RM40k like that.
Socso - RM160 (insured earning only RM1k monthly)
PSV - RM10 (If thru e-PSV by grab)
medical check up - RM20 (if thru panel clinic)
puspakom - RM70 (Grab might reimburse u)

So the rest u sendiri count lor, i think Socso is quite important lah.
*
Yearly cost after regulations as below...

Socso - compulsory to pay for coverage

LHDN - Maybe Grab straightaway give yearly annual statement to IRB so the next Tax declare time you have the amount readily in your tax assessment to be tax...

Ehail Insurance - I pay RM150 for a 4 year car Axia value at Rm22K

PSV license renew fee - same like renew your driving license

Puspakom checks - Pay Rm70 for the yearly check... and we're worried... it's the repair and replacement of items and parts to be able pass puspakom test... eg; tyres, brakes, tints...

Anything I miss? hmm.gif hmm.gif

just thinking aloud if e hailing is subjected to the rules and regulations as public transport, it makes ringgit and sense to convert it as taxi.

You would get discounted toll, parked  or drive on taxi lane, pick up riders roadside, and etc. Most of all wont get 20% commission cut and crappy banana just because some riders left some package of rubber or  KFC lunch hmm.gif
*
To be like taxis, you gotta be like a taxis... Convert your private vehicle to commercial vehicle. Your vehicle have to paint red, red white or blue or whatever color decided by the authority. Drivers hafta wear a uniform. Taxis do not have any compact cars so any myvi, axias, iriz or even Honda jazz drivers is not eligible. bye.gif

Toll is paid by the rider. U drive or pass a taxi lane will be subjected to their harassment, Wanna pickup roadside riders then hafta install meter and even minus less commission... they taximan hafta pay for rental... innocent.gif

Would it affect resale value of car after doing this regulation thingy? I feel kesian with my city have to sacrifice doing grab. But, for the time being, this is the easiest way I can think of to find income as I lost my job in April this year.

Yes your car will depreciates in value but desperate times needs desperate measure...

Guys.. I have book the exam slot but I have not yet received confirmation from grab nor my wallet deducted
My exam is supposedly to be on this Thursday afternoon. So should I wait for confirmation first or just go for exam on this Thursday?

QUOTE(ViRaViRa @ Jul 9 2019, 03:10 PM)
Mine supposed to be tomorrow afternoon. Until now I have still not received any confirmation. My friend told me that I should receive a confirmation by 5-6pm today.
*
Please wait for grab confirmation notify after booking a slot. If you go without confirmation notify, you still wont be able to take the exam. In my case... send booking on 6th Saturday for booking on 10th Wednesday. I received the confirmation notify today the 9th...

That's remind me that I have to studyyyyyy..... weeeee...... bangwall.gif

It only takes one rider... only one rider to get GRAB to suspend or permaban your acc. Never mind the thousand riders safely arrived, hundreds of bagdes or 5star good comment left by riders.

However, I thank you for your effort in educating rude riders. May those riders learned well and not to take other drivers to their advantage...

I failed the first puspakom check due to this front screen tinted issue. As explained by the puspakom officer. Any tinted to front screen will fail no matter how light it is because with double layer screen having prebuilt tint in between the layers...

So he advised to tear a section of the tint screen and enter the 2nd test the next hour. I passed and after that goto the nearest tint shop and install back. Cost RM100.

Guess that gonna be an annual event for me. Going to tint shop before and after puspakom.

hi, can explain what do you mean by a section of the tint ? u not teat town the whole piece ?

so u used back the old one and let tint shop to install back ? can meh ?
*
Yes... I tear down a corner of the front screen... just a portion enuff for puspakom machine to read thru. After passed ... I goto tint shop to complete the process of removing the whole tint.

Shop charge me less than RM100 to take off and clean the leftover tint. So, they upsell to clean and reinstall new tint for RM100. I agree lorr...

I hope this explanation clear up your doubts and queries.

Next year, I will visit tint shop to remove tint all together, goto puspakom test and reinstall after test.
