If a person able to afford those car, then why drive for crap with that kind of price? whistling.gif

Conti car maintenance isn't cheap, imagine my boss S class masuk service centre can easily kena RM10k. Later if u on justcrap, rider enjoy, if grabcar executive is limited in supply, pick up distance far far away. laugh.gif

The only feasible car model is Vellfire or Alphard which is recon set, if buy from UMW then it will take longer time to breakeven.

Go see cardock YouTube channel from where he started and where is he currently. I believe he is a grab ambassador / grab driver ? Now earning in USD with his growing subscribers and views. Very good effort from him for trying and doing what he loves even though he doesn't have the handsome face , good english language skills , video editing or etc.

Couple of months back in this thread someone mentioned that a grab driver quit driving for grab and open his own business and is doing very well now ? It was a malay guy I think. Can't recall much.

Try ask yourself what you love doing ? Go learn a new skill or take up courses. Use what you learned and apply it to something. If you already good at something then offer your services or try those freelance jobs. Sooner or later people will start to recognize you and that's where you start to up your game.

You gotta start somewhere if you want something and also think about long term. Some take a gamble , some take a different approach on things while some just follow the flow and see if it leads to somewhere or nowhere.

Grab ? Yes it's a good start but long term ? A big NO. It is just something to hang on for a while. If you want long term better just be a taxi driver. Their earnings alone is way better then crap, no ?

We can only advice or say and speak about different things but end of the day, you make your own decisions in life.

Agreed, go learn some skill for another venture or build up passive income. So u wouldn't worry much about future life by letting crap grab your balls forever.

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...
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...

at year 2017 ramadan month was crazy, shortage of drivers everywhere can surging. One hour can hit RM30-40 net without any traffic.

But when year 2018 ramadan month, not so profitable like year 2017, still manage to get about RM30 net per hour consistently.

This year see luck again.

just now rain so heavy, got a job Menara UOA bangsar to Gaya bangsar condo, knn only 200m also order, fare at RM5 without any TB. Stuck at jalan bangsar and i saw road was flooding, faster turn back to bangsar and have my dinner first.

TBH to those rider think that cap 2 times is good, actually it is bad because confirm lesser drivers on road, if they lure me with 3-4 times then maybe i'll risk it.

Just finish my psv class, boring as hell. The instructor just read everything in the book to you, waste of time.

I ask some driver who take exam this morning, the 60 questions is all about the book given in course. Some about money management, a lots of customer service and akta + law questions. Driver told me 1 hour for the exam is too short for 60 questions.

Jpj said only 11 driver in jb pass the test. Next week going to test 🤣

The way i looking at it, driving institution has fix time slot and exam has to be at dedicated timing which decided by JPJ officer, i can assure u there will be a shortage of drivers after this if government not willing to co-operate further.

This evening got one rider, reached her condo at sentul liao then ask me wait, after 2mins she ask me wait and she go outside and meet her friends, 5mins I cancelled on the spot and saw her walking back to lobby, the expression was priceless laugh.gif

If her destination not towards KLCC, maybe I will stay a bit longer

Another case at Sunway lagoon ytd night, 5 person and order normal grabcar, first time I cancelled under too many passenger, 2nd time she use another friend account to book same destination and pick up point, I u-turn and press arrive, then they cancel again. I wish them good luck for wasting my time.

The last time I drove was on 7th April and I've stayed off the wheel for Grab ever since, and Grab has asked me twice why have I not been driving for such a long time.

3 weeks is a long time? LOL!

can’t get it....they still continue 2 ban ban ban
May be they only need certain types of drivers such as driver always on AA or drive during peak time?
*
because 1 driver left, another 1 or 2 will join back and replenish the supply. After July they can't do this trick anymore because the supply of drivers certainly will be lesser.

That's why crap launch the bezza rental for daily RM50 to mitigate this issue for upcoming july, to date they have about 1k+ bezza rented out and intend to recruit even more. My friend want to try it out but not committing into new car and hence he opted this rental option, for sure u will get priority because crap don't want u for making losses. The car return got about 20-30% got dent/scratches or bad condition. Mind u the car was just 3 months rental. For sure they lose hell lot of money there. If own car i think drivers will take a good care about it.

during return they will assess the car condition iinm. any damages need to pay. i saw in fb group got pl receive quotation of replacement parts. some 700, some 1.2k.

forking 1.5k monthly for car rent isn't viable imo.
*
I have no idea about the car condition, but little scratches and dent should let it go. If too visible then yes u have to pay for it.

I can tell u most drivers will not pay for it and ask crap forfeit their deposit, then quit permanently.

Ytd while talking to one of the customer, he told me Grab driver quality is deteriorating year after year, he was using Uber/Grab alternatively in the past 3 years, then force to use Grab after the merger, he felt that Grab is lacking of training or system provided to drivers, that's why there is a vast difference of quality between Uber and Grab. This is not the first time i hear that and yet crap did not able to rectify the core issue of their quality. Oh ya forgot to say they still continue ban/warning drivers left and right. laugh.gif

If I were to reply I would said I am not driving because of TBB which sometimes kandang kandang lembu punya bullshit. Yesterday all trip with no boost at BB & KLCC. Today Osama bin Obama. Got a trip which has Rm1.90 bull tahi which probably takes 1/2 hour to pick up at BB entrance to Beriaya Times SQ where it takes 20 minutes to complete at 630pm. Total fare Rm12.00 for 6 seaters. Of course, I buang sampah aje. I knock 3 times  then terus offline. mad.gif 

And why 6 kerusi kenot downgrade to Grab Plus. If Turun Pangkat can only do Just Crab where I have to do KETAM SHARE. After all, the price of 6 seaters sagas like Aruz to Exora are higher than Nissan Allmerah sold by his grandfather  vmad.gif 

There are other issues as well but i think buang masa as I dun think Ah Beng is interested ....... shakehead.gif
*
U go take the overall net earning divide by minutes u spent, what i get is normally RM0.50 per minute on MP/UP slot. Even today the fare is horrible with heavy traffic around KL City centre.

Pickup 8 pax where they ordered 6 seaters. They said other drivers no problem with the pickup.  tongue.gif

iSayman, I pick them up too but gave them a lecture that they should order 2 cars as their two toddlers are 5 feet tall. it is unfair if the drivers get saman, Worse if there is any untoward accidents, insurance maybe voided. Anyway, got sufficient stars to spare at 4.99 but for the benefit of other fellow drivers, got to tell them about law and order enforcement. Most of all, try to timbang rasa with drivers trying to cari makan with RM12 Lembu fares from Fahrenheit red hot lobby at peak hours.  tongue.gif 

3 hours later, got the same request with the same family !! When they saw me, I just asked them WHY? I had picked them up once but not this time.  tongue.gif

should have impose a timeout feature for those rider who violate the rules, first time 5min, 2nd time 30mins etc. Like this wasting their time is the only way they will learn, instead of fooling around with drivers.

Some of them even use different account to try their luck.

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

if he is not from MOT, u are basically wasting time dealing with him. Remember u are dealing with politician, their words cannot be trusted 100%.

I would like to thank all you guys who have been helping me in this thread for over a year.

I've made a decision that I won't be a Grab driver anymore. It was one hell of a ride, the good the bad and everything in between. I surely have learned a lot from my experience and from yours too, and it's something that I won't trade for anything else, except for a million ringgits or two 😂

I would like to wish all the best to everyone's future endeavour, as long it's good and honest. May God help us, amin.

Take care and stay safe. And don't forget to help those who are in need too 😊

Wish u all the best, what is your next venture or job?

Was at NSK Kuchai Lama this evening. Lots of Grab drivers...

Many Muslims went there for pre-Ramadan shopping.

Was at there just now, 10.43pm job and took me 20mins to pick up, another 15mins to complete the job, luckily rider tips me RM6 because she was cancelled 10 times and ordered since 10pm.

Everybody is doing last minute shopping because tomorrow is the beginning of ramadhan month.
