  Hi all seasoned drivers, I am a new driver and I have a question. How do you guys avoid being suspended for not taking bookings. 3 continous rejections and we get suspended for an hour. What is the trick to stay out of this. Sometimes before I even figure out where the location is, times up and I get a message saying I rejected the job. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

  If u were despatched a job , u see buay song dun take , within 45 seconds , pick one customer and go ...... like that consider street pick , no rejection .

  But suay suay this customer go nearby , fare below $6.00 , u will still be consider a rejection , see ur luck lor .

  Me ? Me let them go rejection , 1 rejection , 2 rejections , 3 rejections ,suspension !!!  i call 65524523 , our control centre .

  " Hello , cablink , this is hirer for SHA-XX70K , please hor !!! "

  They won't dare ask u why one .... sure lift the suspension for u .

  If they asked , they sure kena up-side-down from me .

  If the call given to me still sucks , i still do the same , let them reject me until i will call again .

  Cos hirer damn big fuck one .

  Not all job offer are good jobs. My experience, job offer from Sentosa Siloso Taxi Stand Sunday afternoon along Telok Blangah Road, Geneagle Hospital Taxi stand Saturday afternoon along Paterson Road, Oldham side road near Macdonald house Monday noon along Somerset Road. This kind of jobs chance for no show very high, Why next available taxi around the corner the pax still willing to pay you the extra $2.50 for that 5 mins or 7 mins upon your arrival, So let it MDT suspension lah. No harm. Penalty an hours not send you red card like football match cannot play out the field, so no probelm for me go for street jobs also the same. That call only $2.07 extra.. minus radio charges.43cts. if that is 100% good call what.

  Thanks for the advice. Now I feel better knowing that suspension is no big thing.

   

  Edqsc is a FT Comfort hirer. I am still trying to find my timing. Been driving less than a week.

  Welcome new cabby Edqsc, I think from your posting time, you are currently more of a night shift cabby...

• Edqsc, indeed , booking now no big deal .... compare to my time .
I happened to be selected to trial a new MDT  , 100 of us , i went to course the Instructor told us . Only the Top-100 call taker used the new mdt .
The Top-100 call-taker is taken in to " test drive " the new 3rd Generation MDT , then we feedback them on the plus and minus of the MDT .....
Then they upgrade the software into the current 4th Generation MDT .
Now the calls just pathetic , no need to focus so much , compared to my time , my hit target rate is almost 95% sure got call if i hit town .
Now the call is share ..... everyone has a fair share , good or lousy call-taker .
So dun waste time wait for call .....
Take one passenger from taxi stand within CBD , better and faster income .  
Last time we driver in control of the bookings , want or dun wan it's up to us , now the system control us , with suspension , but fuck la ..... human brain faster than the mdt la .....
U implement something , i counter something , at the end of the day , Comfort lose more , we lose nothing if u play the game right .
