Batam Yi Ri You ?
In my entire life as a cabby , TCL is the only one that condemn himself being a taxi driver .
I kept wondering what is his motivation that make him drive so long ?
He drove longer than me .
My motivation is exactly what Piggy's motivation ... Oops sorry , so natural to call him Piggy .
Anyway , Piggy , i'm glad to chose a job that make you really happy .
Then u know why your dad can make you so big size ? Thanks to being a cabby .
If he was a Salesman , i guess u should be half the size or smaller .
Now do you know why Poolie's drove that long ?
Cos we are in control .... i just dun fuck care who my pax , i am more bother of where this pax going to sent me into ?
He can screw me up , nag the whole journey , condemn me , as long as they paid me , i can only tahan them just the most 1 hour .
Then after they alight , i am hunting for my next prey .

Hi Vegie,
Tat depends on ur luck....as wat Pool said early birds ll get worms ...u must know how to walk first rather than running...b cool things ll come ur way ...first thing safety n $$$...ok take care..
In taxi driving , money can never finish making .
Today these lobang no more , there'll be new lobangs elsewhere .
If taxi no more lobang , i am not worry for myself , i more worry for PAP garmen .
Key is hardwork . Determinations .
Mental strength and skills .
Skills of driving , skills of communciations , skills of psycholgies , skills of judgements . Skills of analysis .
Analysis makes you stay ahead of others .
Hi Vegie,
All of wat poolman & navyseal mentioned. Plus are u ready? If you are driving for pocket money than no problem. If u got a young family to support is tough.
Ask yourself how many hours can u drive in a day,.. continue for 6 days in a row. Assuming you off on sunday.Can your body take it. How much can you earn come later. Money everywhere no need to worry..
Try to speak to more TD. There are lot of friendly n helpful cabbies around..
Do know many will be tempted to sign up as hirer to claim back the course fee.
All the best to u.
good to know you are a happy TD,
more good years
hi all
thanks with the replies. i m actually not prepared mentally. anyway i m 39 yrs old and intend to drive mon to sat, rest on sunday.
have done some delivery jobs..so i familar abt 60% of singapore roads. but looks like FT is doing ok as new bird, i guess shd be fine wif me lor.
all the skills mentioned i believe aquire from experiences...in fact my eldest brother is also taxi driver , driving 3 days from citycab complain nt easy to make $$ nowadays advise me drive short-term try 1st.
Actually just follow by friend to take up TVL, he doing van salesman selling drinks earning abt 1.4 to 1.5k, somemore need to pay room rental...complaining money nt enough lor. he kbkb failed on TVL test on sect 2 by oni 2 marks, hv to wait 3 weeks for retest.
I am aiming abt $80 - 100 per day after expense and rental.....total of 12 hrs driving...
is it possible? kamsia for the advise...
AhLim
Hi Vegie
If you only wish to make $80-$100 per day after expense i think no need OMO so siong, relief night shift can make more then $100 liao. Even i work vansale for about 8 years when come to drive taxi i still donno any road. Totaly not the same. Like tonight i start at 4pm rch home 12.30am (after pump and wash taxi) i pocket $$$ liao..hahaha...cannot say wait pple say i how lian....hahaha...
I love to drive ard love to be free that's y TD suit me best. After NS i work as sushi cook earn ard 2k but i just hate the job, so boring everyday doing the same thing over n over again.
As for TCL he say he hate driving taxi but what make him go to work wo??? If i hate a job i just don't feel like going working. I will gain MC. But now i can drive 7 days a week. Nv think of taking MC..hahaha...MC mean no pay...anyway end of the day sit inside taxi count money what hate also foget liao...
$80 ?
Start 5pm , stop at 12am , can go home sleep liao .
Sunday off .
Cos Friday can earn double .
Fuck la , when u became a taxi driver .... i swear to god , u'll greed for more .
Until u just cannot stop .
OMO 6am to 12pm ?
Rest than drive again ...
Fuck la no life !!!
Why people kept think this timing is good ?
Drive taxi why must be so stressful ?
TioCallLiao and me drove both adding up to nearly 20 years in the business .
How ?
Cos we are both fucking night shift !
U got hear before OMO can tahan 10 years ?
Give you 3 years , u are super man liao ....
New bird somemore , wanna be OMO ?
Ask DC .... ? Where is he ?

New cannot be hirer la , imagine your key havent crank the engine , $150 blinking in front of your eyes and that $150 is not salary hor , is just break even only. can take it?
for me my whole body will turn weak. hand soft leg soft liao hahaha
guys who just got their TDVL , pls be a relief 1st , do yourselves a favour. relief is a much easier path to take .
BUT if you need 4 to 4.5 k per mth salary , in some form of debts , need to clear fast , then be hirer coz to do that amount , everyday you have to hit $300 gross so you need 2 peak hours . $300 being a relief for sure cannot hit one.
If you have lower expectations like $100 a day , dont bring problems to yourself .
my expectations are very low one.
everyday nett $120 my cab will auto head back to base. even if RWS pick and go , town pick and go.. who cares? i need my rest . uncle here old liao , most of my spare parts are rosak. stress it more confirm up the lorry faster.
With that amt , i only need to hit $200 i can get that liao . imagine if u are OMO , how much u need to hit? assuming sonata @ 105 , diesel 40 . u need to hit 265. while u are on the roads, uncle at home liao surf net , talk cock sing song , drink milo and prepare to sleep liao. need i say more?
