Running Grab earns 30 million / month, male students in Hanoi reveal the dark side behind the explosion and the deadly danger of the motorbike taxi industry

It is undeniable that motorbike taxi technology is becoming more and more popular and gradually opening a new direction for students. The salary is higher than the normal partime jobs, flexible changes are not subject to pressure from the boss or the KPI set by the company, many young people do not hesitate to run Grab, even drop out of school and follow the coaches outside. Street. Many graduates have not been able to get a job yet, so they have to leave by running, roaming the streets to welcome customers and ship goods.

To better understand the work and difficulties of the Grab driving career, we spent half a day following in the footsteps of ND (the last year student of Electricity University), currently running Grab for a living. Nearly 12 hours drive, ND is about 800 thousand and this is what he shared with us.

Students running Grab “silver shirt” can earn 20-30 million / month, the most up to a million

One day running ND normally starts from 5am to 8:30 am at the beginning of the first shift, then continues to run at 11:30 am.

ND said, with just a motorbike, a smartphone … anyone can become a motorbike taxi driver. To register for Grab, you need to submit a series of student ID, ID card, driver’s license, registration and motorcycle insurance documents to the company. After passing 20 multiple choice questions and instructions on company rules and how to deal with customers, you will be given a partner code and software to start practicing. With a relatively simple procedure, many students can cover not only their own needs but also contribute some capital to their families. So just go out, everywhere you see the familiar green back of a Grab student.

ND friend shared: “When I first started Grab, I saw the hoe continuously, so I was very enthusiastic, whenever I took my car out, I was able to run the car for the most time, it was 1.3 million, running about 14-15 hours. I work a lot for about 10 – 12 hours to get 700 thousand VND but the cost of petrol is only 70-80 thousand VND which is enough for you to run all day.A month hard working can earn 20 million, luckily receive many bonus programs even. get 20 – 30 million.

Being able to take a break for 10 hours a day, the part-time running range of 4-5 hours is also around 300-400 thousand. Quickly calculating a month can earn tens of millions, a decent income enough for the monthly living expenses, paying for your tuition and personal needs. ”

ND check the way and place customers place. The first hoe of the day ND goes about 15 kilometers.

The salary is high but the job is not light, many risks can even be fatal

Of course, in the world, there is no low-paying jobs without using much brain, just take care of the network to use labor. Students may encounter numerous difficulties when running Grab, such as getting lost, affecting health, being blocked by traditional motorbikes … To earn a million VND is also the effort to run “silver clothes” all day, running not just like selling life.

Most of the students work part-time in a small town, most of them are not on the city streets. The wrong move leads to delays being cursed by customers, the police catch or sometimes glancing across the car … is not uncommon.

Young people always depend on their health, have plenty of time so they are not afraid to sell their lives cheaply, ready to roam 4-5 hours outdoors . But exposure to the street regardless of the rain or sun will greatly affect the health, especially the spine and lower body. ” Many brothers are always gossip about the players running” silver shirts “to earn a million a day but running like a selling blood. I just treat this as a student time, there is a lot of competition so whenever I can find it in the right industry, he will take a break. Going out on the street is dangerous, adjacent to sunshine and rain, affecting health. Sitting much affects bones and spine, dust inhalation is prone to diseases such as lung cancer … “, friend ND talk.

To make millions of money for driving, ND had to trade for a lot of time and health.

The next difficulty comes from the fierce competition in the profession. When you first come in, hoes dance less, you will have less service, not prioritized as longtime drivers. If you want to earn a lot, you have to run often but running a lot affects your health and study. Besides, if not observant, students can be intercepted when entering the area of ​​traditional motorbike. Working as a motorbike taxi driver, but when Grab appeared, it turned upside down, causing the traditional motorbike taxi to have fewer customers, even to win customers with Grab, many fights occurred at a bus stop, a large intersection …

Not less pressure comes from customers. ” Easy-going customers are okay, but many fastidious people also require a lot of requests. There are sunny customers who ask me to shade for cool. Some people go early to urge me to hurry, take dangerous shortcuts. Meet guests. any fastidious person, if they do nothing, they will also rate 1 star.Many people still miss the drug addicts, thieves and super thieves.Inside, they are friendly customers who pretend to talk happily but not realize I was robbed “, friend ND added.

Another painful problem with Grab Food’s individual customers is the “cargo bomb”. ND friend shared: ” Although Grab has always pledged to refund money in cases of goods outages, the refund of food is less than 1 million VND but I find this process of Grab very confusing, laborious. Not many shippers go to the company to ask for money, and sometimes we have to get milk and tea instead of rice, we tell each other to buy one for two or two cups of cheap coffee. milk shipper us to cry sick “.

Pressure in the profession makes many you have to sell uniforms and accounts soon.

To live safe with Grab, everyone needs tricks and experience

Despite many difficulties, motorbike taxiing is still a job to make money, helping young people to pay for school fees and expensive urban areas. Many of you if you want to engage in this job should equip some defensive skills, check carefully with customers and should avoid overwork that affects health.

” Running a lot will have a lot of experience and sensitivity to customers. When running Food, an order of 200 – 300 thousand is safe, must talk clearly before going to buy. Should confirm carefully with customers, feel not It is safe to cancel orders with orders over 1 million because Grab policy only refunds up to 1 million for Food orders.When COD delivery, customers who order more than 300,000 can still apply normally. stand outside the delivery line, remember to check in advance to see what is inside, call the recipient’s head in front of the sender.If not showing the goods, absolutely do not respond, cancel the hoe and call thanks to the support. Grab Grab run in the evening is absolutely not carried into deserted places, where all the “heads” like parks Hoang Mai, Tan Mai apartment complex … “, ND shared his experience of running Grab.

ND is checking back with customer.

ND advises students to carefully check with customers, feeling unsafe to cancel the application and not run the evening to deserted places.

In particular, although Grab always works alone, students should join Facebook-based group meetings or chat groups established by the company for convenience. ” I participated in a group chat with team leaders requested by the company. They are many contributors to Grab, support each other during difficult times on the car or sometimes gather as fellow colleagues. Each the group will have an icon to paste the car on the road, meet what happens knowing that the people of our team will help each other more enthusiastically , “ND shared about the Grab chat group on his Zalo.

Month earns tens of millions of dong, but is Grab running worth?

Perhaps many young people will find themselves in the story: After graduation, they will not find a job, have to take a degree and run Grab through the day. It’s undeniable that the great power of Grab has saved countless lives, helping students earn a monthly salary of tens of millions of dong in urban areas that are too crowded with bachelor’s degrees. No job is bad, no job is vile if we make money with our own hands.

Grab is just a part-time job, not helping young people gain more work experience or skills.

But running Grab is just a one-sided job early, and one day you will have to give up because of exhausted health. By that time, would students dare to record the “Running Grab car” experience on their resume? Many people often compare the salary of a newly graduated accountant to a student who has long experience of running Grab. Also working 10 hours / day, also face down with work, also pouring sweat and tears to make money … but the monthly salary is only half. But in return his experience increased, the future widened with the promise of income exponentially increasing. As for Grab students in the past, they still stood still when their parents did not give subsidies and continued to follow the road. Needless to say, anyone knows longer than anyone.

Each young person needs to be aware of what is his path and stop. Running Grab is a lot of money, but is it a long way to choose? So don’t sell your own future cheap! Say goodbye to motorbike taxiing as soon as you make enough money and focus on your future career.
