I started with posting my first advertisement on OLX
It was great idea to provide transport service on share basis to Customers. As it is cheaper for Customers, compared to stand alone transport. Because every transporter charges his Customers for both ways from point A to Point B and again from point B to Point A.
But in case of share transport service, if I spend Rs. 1000/- on expenses , I will charge only 500/- to one party going from point A to Point B and 500/- to other party coming from point B to Point A.
The response I got was amazing, till now nearly 1000 people have visited my adv. on OLX,
many of them have saved my mob number 9870636922 for future reference.
However I made only 25 Rupees of profit on that Job
I know you won't believe it
here is the break up of expenses :-

To Me 25
there were 2 parties involved in this deal
one party from Kandivali for King size BED and other party from Vikroli for 3+2 sofa set
when we reached Andheri to pick up King size bed, the 1st problem which we faced was that the Bed was huge (6x7), it was old and all joints were tightly fitted into one another. It took us 2 Hrs. Yes that's correct 2 hrs to dismantle that bed. If my men would have not dismantled that bed I could have run in to losses on that day. thank GOD no such thing happened.
that day I learned:
1) Furniture needs to be dismantle by a professional Carpenter.
2) If I blow up the first deal then I blow up all the subsequent deals.
I came to know that no matter how great this idea of share transport seems,
Its not going to work. There are at least 2 parties involved in the share transport. If 1st party cancels the deal, then it becomes hard for me to provide my service to 2nd party alone. As I have already quoted 2nd party a lower price than my cost.
not only I the transport provider suffers the losses but also I break the trust of 2nd dependent party.
Therefore I immediately changed the title of my advertisement on the very next day.
