guys, regarding the road tax renewal with AH code. so i read about need to do puspakom only can renew road tax. So let's say if retired from e hailing how will it be? need to de-register evp or something then only can renew road tax without puspakom?

grab always use "drive partners" and the system is "share profit" (grab gets 20% and u take the rest) so i am pretty sure the lawyers have ways to define the drivers as a non employee and stay away from employment act

Thanks for the response on the ideal Credit Wallet balance

I had a pax going to Rantau in Negri Sembilan for RM109
By the way, why do you call such riders " jerung " ?

I also had requests from clients who asked me for namecards

This would be good if you want to make money on the side  biggrin.gif
What do you think ?

Or it could be officers in disguise heh.
But then need to see the definition of kereta sapu also.. if like fetching new fren then they offer compensation or reward, how can it be kereta sapu
Or giving a random dude a ride because pity him and want to help him while they offer return in monetary, how can it be wrong?

so yeah i think as long as no ask if ppl wanna ride at public places, then it shouldn't be a legal issue
but then still will get into trouble if passenger got problem hmm.gif

Dear Sifus,

Im a part time grab driver, after getting my evp, psv, bla bla bla. Now suddenly my insurance under takaful malaysia is not under cover, so need to change my insurance.

But unfortunately, when i went to JPJ to terminate my normal roadtax to change to e hailing roadtax, the officer told me that my car is 2010. So cannot renew anymore.

Is this true or u guys have any idea how to go about?

Many thanks!!

But one thing for sure above 9 years grab x mau

anyway, i want to ask sifu2 sekalian here ya.. apologies in advance for the long post..

i got a friend he do grab. he told me he one day earns about 300~400.. On good days can earn up to 400, on not so good days he earn say 280++..

So lets say average he earn per day is 300 la.. He drive 5 weeks a day. He quit his normal job to do grab full time. Currently he is driving or working i should say about same amount of hours as he was working in office before this.. Monday-Friday, driving time is different he say he do morning till noon, then take break and continue evening till night time.. but estimate he work around 10 hours per day..

So based on that 300x5= 1500/week so 6k per month he earns. after minus grab commission he get 4.8k.. He told me his car loan is fully paid, so he only pays for petrol and maintenance every now and then.. I not sure he use how much petrol a month but i guess around 800 can cover for petrol? or lets say 1k for petrol..

So my question is, therefore he earns 3.8k per month nett.. I think that is quite decent no? About the same or even higher salary than fresh grads.. He told me if he wants more money that week/month he work on saturday/sunday or work longer as well..

My question is just this because from my POV it seems this grab job for him is quite sustainable.. For more clarifications: He is living with family and he has a gf so he does spend on dating and stuff.. So i want your thoughts on this since you guys are more experienced than me.

A bit late for this post, but i wanna voice out my opinion as well. Ard 2 years doing this part time (some weekends or holidays)

Getting 300-400 a day is like 10 hours almost non stop driving, prolonged sitting, after long period of time it is actually very mentally exhausting. Mostly i get is like 200+ up to 8 hours of driving (early morning till night with lunch and dinner break)

Self development wise driving grab will get u some new experience, but after a while it will be kind of constant, unless u thought of developing soft skill or communication with ppl but just that after some time it will be just stagnant. It you are still young better at least take a stable job and try to build it first while explore part timing with grab, that way you can choose both and see where you want to go.

I felt kinda bad when i drive whole day to get a Rm200 cash nett in my pocket while my fren who works partime for events can get the same just within 2-3 hour.

I agree, if young and have options, better have a regular job. Can supplement income with part-time Grab driving.

By the way, what type of events does your friend do that pays RM70-100 per hour? 😮

U think grab also no work hazard?

1. Argument with rider
2. Buta buta kena suspend because violation of grab rules (Eg. Collect extra fare)
3. People puke inside your car
4. Punch into your nose/face
5. Car breakdown = no income
*
i think top hazard is the road itself. More hours on the road = accident probability higer

QUOTE(Ron2828 @ Nov 25 2019, 12:44 PM)
In my opinion, driving grab as a permanent full time job is not ideal for youngsters due to:-

1) No EPF - A 20 years old young man with RM1000 basic salary with 5% yearly increment + 5% EPF annual return will have RM543K at 55 years old (very low projection). Fresh grad with higher basic easily have millions in EPF at 55.Drive for grab?Big fat zero from grab for retirement

2) No offdays + AL/MC/CL/EL/ - Your income stop when you have to rest or run errands. No time for family

3) Not protected by employment act - Grab can fire you anytime without paying compensation. All they need is a CB rider complaint

4) Unstable earning - No increment,bonus. Your increment depends rain, driver supply, customer demand, etc etc that you dont have control

5) No valuable skill - Driving skill is easily replaceable and plentiful in supply, therefore it doesn't worth much. You may learn some soft skills, how to control your EQ but it's very limited.

So my conclusion:-

Drive as part timer - Yes

Drive to put food on table while waiting for interview - Yes

Drive full time coz can't find job at 40 - 60 years old - Yes

Drive full time, age below 40 - Please re-consider. If you can consistently put so much effort to drive 12 hours a day for 6 days, you should be able to do well in your job and earn more than grab with less risk.Think long term.

btw i think using constant phone charging while grab has taken it's toll. I only realized my phone battery expanded when sent to repair regarding a faulty charging port (sometimes can charge sometimes cannot) .

Coz i have a phone cover on so never realize it expanded til the back case slightly opened. So guys, check ur phones from time to time ya. Expanded batts are just simply time bombs

guys, want to ask for this situation

if i passed a toll to pick up a customer, that toll is charged to the customer later when dropping him off or the customer need not pay the toll (meaning its on us)?

and also, if the passenger refuses to use toll road, what should we as drivers do?
do we set waze to avoid toll roads, or still continue using toll road?

thanks in advance for helping a newbie out
*
1. customer has to pay the toll, funny why grab did not mention big big need to find.
https://www.grab.com/my/transport/car/
under FAQ How does GrabCar charge our fares?

I got one experience pickup lady mapren in which she unhappily asked why need to pay for the toll, coz her other rides no need toll (i think she never pass tru toll before)
i cant find the grab page while driving and need explain to her toll is not included, end up get low rated (of course plus other stuff happen as well). siennnn

2. Not so agree with high fare then self pay, just maximize your income according to system.

Use nego lor. If passenger is familiar with the area, and mention can don't need toll, you can always check the alternative route whether traffic or bad or distance increased. If traffic ok, distance not much different, ok de. Else just explain traffic bad or distance different too much, if they don't want toll have to cancel the ride because driver should just "inform" riders on toll, not giving them an option since the route is calculated based on closest distance. For me if grabpay, i sometimes don't ask (secretly judging if they looked like ppl who will be noisy when go tolls) , but for cash, i always inform before depart.

Example like if go KLCC from sg besi direction at early morning no jam.. sure no need take SMART tunnel lol. Or also if you are an experienced driver, u can go the extra mile for them by bypassing the toll to help them save, telling them also. (of course u need to make sure u don't stuck in jam by doing so )

Trick answer for those who go an memorize the "answer sentence"
actually just use common sense to understand the answer

the black bg answer is choose based on kawasan MAJORITI and blue bg answer is choose based on kawasan MINORITI
what for you choose a plan based on kawasan MINORITI ? of course choose MAJORITI since it's the place u MAJORITI visit.

But it difference answer from what we study.

If possible, should be all of it.
Take the cheapest, largest, prepaid to try, coverage in your area, subscribe it needed every month.
I think we no need they teach us how to choose the best telco.😑
*
funny that based on PSV book "Boleh cuba beberapa pelan dalam masa sebulan" that's why no iii is wrong.
I think the idea is trying few different telco in a month using prepaid, but in reality no one really does that, and for single telco there's already a lot data plan (daily, weekly, monthly) so who so free go and try different plans

What kind of dash cam did you all used ? I been thinking of buying dashcam for protection and recording passengers. Is it illegal to record rear passengers?
Do i need to get those with Wifi features that are able to record video through clouds? Can share your setup pls. tks.
*
I am using a rear view mirror type recording front and rear of car, looks more neat without additional boxes dangling around, serves as a reverse cam as well but not recording passengers tho

Not to sure the legality but the event it self should be a higher concern than legal or not

For me dont need the cloud feature coz the cost sure go up with wireless uploading via data capability. Since only record when drive, for sure u know when you should download/view your vids when necessary.

The one i had can play back vids from the rear view sreen, or access it wirelessly tru my phone and download straight away, compared to my old one which i constantly need to remove the sd card and download it to pc when i want to share. So i think getting a wifi capable (without the need of online) is a more convenient option. Ensure the vid resolution is not "artificially" boosted say record at 1080p but its upscaled from 720p then there is no increase in clarity in anyway.

just use gut feeling,if don't feel safe, don't take

but mostly problem for those who book for their friend is their pickup location wrong, and when call the booker, they need to call their friend or bla bla. wait 5 mins then bye bye

usually if after pick up, i just verify if their destination is correct. Since ppl like "Alex Wong" can end up being some myanmar/bangla/indon ppl

but would u still take them if there's 2 african with huge body size? let say they were not the member? U know if u reject them, they will get angry. So my question is this, will u risk it? usually there's pattern of behaviour. if u have been doing it often,automatically u will not reject them already.
*
very depends on situation, i
if 2 big bodied, not member, but the destination they wanna go is some place common/nearby, no problem for me.

if 2 big bodied, not member, destination they go unclear, its quite dark at night, somewhere not familiar or even far away, i might tell them i need to cancel because they are not the one who book.

So it's better to only press pickup once every doubts is clear.

I got once pick up 4 big bodied kinda scary msian at quite a dark place in PJ, in which i only knew when arrive at pick up point. Tbh kinda scary and thought of cancel and drive away actually. But seeing the destination is nearby and around PJ area, i just ok.
