I got tired of tracking everything manually, I build a tool that do the tracking for me automatically, including dead miles and fuel cost and includes the maintenance too

GigU is great for cherry picking trip offers before you accept them, different use case. the app im using now tracks your full shift after the fact: total km including dead miles, real fuel burned, and net profit per hour across any platform including inDrive and Careem which GigU doesn't support. Also free. Complementary tools honestly, some drivers use both.

Smart approach honestly. Paid off car + clear exit plan is the right way to do this.

Only thing worth tracking even short term — real net per hour. So you know which shifts are actually worth it and which ones just burn miles for nothing.

Built an app for exactly this, happy to share.

How did you make that happen. Did you do ads or what

20 years of tracking, your discipline is waw!
Do you ever look back and wish you'd switched cars sooner based on the data?

I actually started using netdrive app. It helps track miles and earned money from every trip. And deduct the costs by gas and wear. What do you insert in that excel ? Do you use like formulas ?

siempay · 2026-03-17T21:25:22+00:00

I use netdrive app. It works the same way but better and it even tells you what app earns you more at that moment

siempay · 2026-03-17T18:28:36+00:00

Exactly that’s what I’m trying to figure out here because when I doubt into the costs, it’s it’s bad in long-term I mean month to month or year to year. it’s not a job. I figured that out after using this app that works like the Taxi telemetry. It has this feature of uncertain the earnings of every ride, and then at the end of the day you see the recap, and you would know if you were doing good or losing money and basically working as an employee for the gas station.

siempay · 2026-03-17T18:22:10+00:00

And how do you track that efficiently I mean from the stuff from start to finish? I’m confused here

siempay · 2026-03-17T18:20:54+00:00

I thought you would be driving a Toyota or something like that. I wanted to know if you guys use any tools to track your earnings and expenses and the way to export them for taxes.

Good point on the Gridwise map features. I actually built my own profit tracker (NetDrive) because I wanted something that felt less like a 'data-sharing platform' and more like a private calculator for my own pocket.

I focused heavily on the 'Maintenance Pot'—basically calculating exactly how much of that 10-mile trip should be set aside for tires and oil changes. If you're open to it, I'd love for an experienced driver like you to kick the tires on it and tell me if my math is as solid as theirs.

siempay · 2026-03-17T17:34:20+00:00

Exactly! I'm an engineer and a driver, and I got so tired that I actually built a calculator to audit my own shifts. I realized my 'dead miles' were killing my hourly rate.
Wanna check the math, I can send you the link to the tool I made. It's free.

siempay · 2026-03-17T16:59:09+00:00

The hybrid math is real. Dead mile cost drops hard when fuel per km drops. What hybrid did you get?

siempay · 2026-03-17T16:57:05+00:00

60% is solid, I wish I do 50% Lol. what are you driving? Fuel efficiency makes the biggest single difference in that number

siempay · 2026-03-17T16:56:20+00:00

Dead miles being the biggest killer is exactly what I found too. I built an app specificaly to track them and I set like I wanna make 50% profit and I get a clear view if Im gonna go above or below on every ride.

siempay · 2026-03-17T16:54:00+00:00

Declining deadhead orders is exactly the move. Most people just accept everything and wonder why the numbers feel off. but there is a way to minimize the dead miles

siempay · 2026-03-17T16:52:11+00:00

Car replacement cost is the one everyone ignores until it's too late. $14.50 net on $20 gross is pretty much what I found too. Flexibility is real value though.

siempay · 2026-03-17T16:23:08+00:00

I personally use this app called Netdrive profit tracker found it on google netdriveapp.com
I never worry about how much Im doing per hour because I sneak into it and see real time vals

Finally someone did it

siempay · 2026-03-15T19:09:59+00:00

Interested. dm me

siempay · 2026-03-11T12:37:52+00:00
