If you read all the comments, you would see grabbing is not being advised as a career with new car or second hand car. Listen to the good suggested advice given who cared to penned thier thoughts for you. 

If you work for a company in sales, there is consistence target to be achieved, rewards that is stable from  guaranteed commission or bonus to brighter future of higher position. 

Your income goes lower and lower with the SK1M that changes without prior notice, according to crappy whims and fancies. No annual paid leaves, no public holidays, no medical coverage, no EPF and risk of getting banana which might not be justified by riders complaints. 

Even with new Bezza car, the guarantee comes with 5 years or 150,000 km, whichever comes first. Tarak Beza,  If you are driving hard to cari makan, your warranty would be voided in 2 years. Chances of accidents or tyres puncture increase with the extra mileage to grab riders with all those bumps and holes on MY roads. 

I had a Grab rider who was ex Grabber where he took into every sens and ringgit by recording every costing of petrol to servicing to tips from 10 sens to 10 ringgit in 1 year and other costs like phone and billing charges.  He gave up after that to become a private driver to fetch a school children to school and activities which takes 1 to 2 hours of driving in 6 hours duty in hsi Datuk car. Sumore, it is normally 5 days job. His earning is sama rata by grabbing riders. And The Malay chap makes extra by selling burgers tiap tiap malam where he untung Rm100. 

Buying a new car and selling it later always rugi and selling ex grab car sure kena teruk with beruk pricing. 

Finally, think about medical risks with health issues for that kind of long stressful hours of sitting and driving. Berbaloi tak? 

Just for the record, I used to drive for fun and charity fund with my Honda HRV as Uberman. The cost of replacement  from alternator , gear box and suspension comes to RM35K in just a year. Luckily it comes with warranty coverage. But the helpful service manager said that's it......where I am not using it to grab riders anymore. Now grabbing riders with Exora NGV whenever my mood takes me. It is fun to drive without all the stress to grab riders where I have to worry to maintain my car which goes kilometrico. I just have to worry about road bumps to avoid tyres punctures and service it with synthetic engine oil for the extra mileage. 

25 years old. Graduated at 24 but got bad CGPA jobless for a year, very hard to get job,
make sense, just our family still need car as our old car is dying
Thanks for the tips. So SC have record on the car millage
People drive grab due to desperation, currently i am desperate enough to consider grab

Smart passengers using Grab will be more rewarding if ordering JustGrab service or GrabShare.
Here is the reason why:


Grab is offering higher reward points if you ordered JustGrab / GrabShare. Or see here: https://www.grab.com/my/grabrewards/

For HG driver, TBB is like a scam. For flexi / new driver, TBB is like jackpot. Me myself was flexi driver so to me TBB allows me earn more, for HG drivers sure is a no-no lo 

Bersyukur laaa sifu, better than nothing

Finally snapped today. Ferry this one bangla from balakong to taman muhibah near ktm serdang. Before started the trip, i confirm with him the DOP. He said yes. Then when nearby I already suspect something cause he doesn't recognize this place. Then he said something about kajang rail station. I ask him ktm serdang but he keep mumbling kajang. Mind you he does only have like ten vocabularies. I already get b2b so i asked him to get off and book other car politely. Then he refused and begging me to take him. He called his friend, no answer. My blood's boiling already. He keeps begging and I say no, I told him I got another passenger. Later got connected to his friend then he passed it to me. I asked where, his friend said kajang. I asked where in kajang, his friend just repeat kajang. Wah fucking stupid, you think kajang is small like your brain?  I already raised my voice at this moment. B2B passenger already push me, asked me where I am. I asked him one last time to get off my car politely. Then he keeps begging and I can't take it no more. I snapped, i yelled and i ask him to get the fuck off.

I pity him. At 1 point i want to help him but we can't have proper conversation and that frustated me. If he can give me a name of definite drop off point, i might consider side deal (cause he doesn't have grab apps and apparently his friend booked for him). Damn i really need few days off.

You were saying TBB is a scam, So I'm saying TBB is better than previously non-HG scheme. If you come from HG, then you feel like it's a scam, if not, then TBB is better.
But my advice is, to calculate earn per hour is useless as it is subject to many factors, you starting location, your drop off location, time, demand, weather, day, your luck, etc. Driving on peak hour / hour vs non peak / hour is big diffrence. Driving 1.5 hours a day for 5 days vs driving 7.5 hours continuously is big difference also. Example , people said Bangi is a bad place to start, last week I got RM63 gross + Rm18.20 TBB from 5-7pm in Bangi~Kajang.   

every driver sure kena situation like this , mp block and jam area ping come in pax or driver cancel , another ping come in very near from previous ping and go to the same direction example to kl the bonus will have huge different , I got 0 from the 1st one RM 12.8 for the 2nd how the fuxk grab calculate ? Till now I still really not understand how this stupid system work lo

Quick question guys,

If Im using GrabPay, do I have to pay toll by cash or the driver can charge me via app?

Hi Guys,
Any cards you recommend to get discount on fuel pump ? Currently using CIMB Cash Back which can give me 2% rebate everyday on the petrol but dont seem to worth it. Last month used about 480 and only got 11 bucks rebate.

If 1 day u met this kind rider... ur career as e-hailing will be over

GRAB'S PLAN FOR 2019 (continued)

2) Commission + additional fees per trip:

a) network fee
b) airport fee
c) service/booking fee
d) safety fee

Doesn't matter what they're called but the fees, they are a coming...

Uber started with safety fees - everybody grudgingly accepted why not since it enhances safety until drivers learnt 'safety' meant driver background checks. One lawsuit later Uber changed it to booking fee.

Uber's even charging some sort of climate change fee in London for clean energy research (*cough* self driving cars *cough*)

Total take home pay of Grab will be around 40% of fare...

PLAN 2 STATUS: Coming soon

Drivers will surely sour at the above but thats ok, high turnover is expected there will always be new drivers queueing outside grab offices. In fact collective driver behaviour has shown that there is a lot more that can be extracted from this group so long as its done incrementally.

The above plans are essential if Grab is to realise a profit before going for an IPO.
Grab's corporate overhead is high. The CEO,CFO,CTO, VPs and lawyers all need to be paid. A new 180 million dollar HQ. Funding research for autonomous vehicles - none of these can be sustained with 20-25% commission i mean really...

With all due respect, incrementalism dude. bit by bit.

By ministerial fiat comm is capped at 20% come July. The first step will be a baby step - just to recover the lost 5%. Then a few months for everyone to cool off and then...

Can any driver who has grabbed for many years tell me that he has made more in the 2nd/3rd year compared to the first year? Without putting in more hours ?

Can any driver who has grabbed last year tell me he earned more in the 2nd half of 2018 compared to the first half ? Without putting in more hours ?

If you made X dollars this year, next year you will make even less than X. You know that. Surely you know that.

People here, they want to see how far rates can be cut and still have drivers on the road. Never mind if its a grumbling driver. A grumbling driver is still a driver...

Yes, *you* won't put up with this but you don't speak for all drivers now do you ?

If the above post seems arrogant, sorry not my intention.

After 21 days of driving in January, here is the result.

Period driven
January 1 to January 31

Gross Earning (according to Grab statement)
Dec 31 to Jan 6 = RM749.05
Jan 7 to Jan 13 = RM783.55
Jan 14 to Jan 20 = RM779.80
Jan 21 to Jan 27 = RM551.86
Jan 28 to Feb 3 = RM729.10

Total = RM3,593.36

Jan 7 to Jan 13 = RM148.80
Jan 14 to Jan 20 = RM145.65
Jan 21 to Jan 27 = RM106.20
Jan 28 to Feb 3 = RM140.20

Total = RM250.00

Misc

Total RM 260.00

PnL
Gross earning (RM3,593.36) - Costs (RM1,781.60) = RM1,811.76 (50.42%)

From there, deduct RM1k as emergency saving, then the rest are to spend on food

Not going to drive February at all because of planned vacation to Hanoi so yeah, based on this, I think driving Grab full time is reasonable if you don't have loan commitments, isn't looking to get rich quick, and value flexibility of time.

I did achieve the main goal of driving Grab instead of full time employment, which is spending more quality time with wife. There are still some concerns about doing this for the next couple years, but we'll decide after Grab announce the PSV thing, as in how they will go about it

Currently the decision is resume driving Grab full time in March after done with vacation

One month and 400+ trips later, I’m beginning to understand why most Grab drivers are full of anger and always miserable

50% is because of bad decisions/situations prior to Grab life, so they choose Grab thinking it will solve their problem, but when Grab change incentive structure they feel conned

50% is because of extreme cheapskate and calculativeness. I understand no one likes to lose money, but to hold grudge just because passenger dont know how to set pickup pin properly, thats just silly

So the most relevant experience i want to share with potential new driver is, if you are not capable of patience and generosity, then you should stick to paid employment

Your reason to start driving Grab shouldnt be because of money. If money is the reason you want to drive Grab, you are better off earning part time money at mcd. At least ular a bit you still get paid per hour fixed

Interesting Grab sending spy here in grab_insider and Grabtology.
Just like they planted Thomas Smith in the FB group.

He should consider doing it as charity since money is not a reason we drive grab as what he claim or motivates us.

Every RM5 job for far pickup distance with no time booster just campak to that full time lembu. By then , he will bring out the inner angered lembu in him.

Anyway , I just view him as a newbie. Nothing more, nothing less.

Move on just like Bro Khai.
This is his wife commission. His punya no need to say.

With great income comes great Lhdn officer... Hahaha...

Everybody like to use this Brokai as a success story, it really become stale already... Showing the 1% highest achievers to the rest 99% losers.... kinda remind me of... err... I dunno... MLM?
