In taxi driving , it's different from working with monthly salary .
If u want money , family will sacrifice a bit .
If u want family lifestyle , money will earn less a bit .
The longer u remains on the road , the more money u'll earn .
Now since u made the decision to go as hirer , which we discourage that from the start ( we recommend to be relief first ) , so now pls inform the family , bear with it for a few weeks , once get into the track , everything should be okay .
Very sad , cos u should have put the family first and opt for a TransCab , and OMO for a while .
Same shit la rental $105 maximum , only that one week , can off one day without even need to worry about paying full rental .
CDG ? Want off ? Think thrice .
Cos from start , we just focus too much on finding a relief .... neglecting the core issue - Family .
Now Uncle me ..... Sunday OMO , so how ? $105.93 rental ?
Fuck la , still family day la fuck .....
Then 10pm , when wife and kids ready to sleep , then i go a few round at MBS , 5 trips , half rental got liao .... $50 .
I still losing money , for $55 only excluding CNG .
So what i do , knowing i will lose $55 on Sunday , solution ?
Up daily target to +$10 .
Monday +$10
Tuesday +$10
Wednesday +$10
Thursday +$10
Friday +$10
Saturday +$5
Here you go , $55 , hahahahahah .
Month end ...... fuck la $665 still safely in the bank .
But hor ...... u drive day , 5am to 5pm ?
And u complaining not enough time with family ?
Hey 5pm reached home is normal working timing leh .....
Ur family saw you for 5 days from 5pm , and whole day on Saturday .
Not enough time ?
And u still need to find a Sunday relief ?
Then u eat what ?
Mon - Fri only ?
Unless u can manage $100 x 5 days , $500 per week , $2000 for a month salary .
Average $80-$120 is what day shift earns everyday from 5am to 5pm .
Dun tell me one day driver to earn more than nett $120 - $150 everyday ..... no la , hard to believe everyday basis .
I am saying one day collection $180 a day for a day shift is what averagely a day driver fare . It's what LTA projected .
Furthermore , day drivers flag down meter is just most time $3 nett , nothing more than that , unless booking .
And average pick up is about 22 pax .
Average fare is $8 i think .
Com on la , me old bird la , i think i am one of the oldest bird in any active taxi forum .
U cannot believe my data analysis capabilties .

Hi, 2410
why not get and relief for 6 nights mon to sat and sun a full day driver , thats how its work for me and my hirer and i belive that while you are driving in the day time and back home 5 pm, you have more time with your family i belive, listen to what senior poolman say cause i learn alot from him, and adjust according to his advise and at last we all need money at the same time plan well and be an safe driver nothing will go wrong in the long run
cheers man![]()
Hi Bro Poolman and the rest of the gang.....
Nothing firm yet... just throwing out ideas here to ponder.....
Yes totally 200% agree that one should start off with relief.... kns... if can turn back, would wanna be a relief.... but well got to stick with it for now.....
My relief is happy so far with his week nite and whole day Sat arrangement.... can tell lar... must be doing well..... kekekeke... good for him.....
At the moment, will stick with my weekdays day shift and whole day Sunday and see how things go....

Just kpo abit... You can actually check his daily earnings via the taxi meter (meter, not MDT). Not sure if it's the same for Comfort's taxi, but for the YellowTop Wish, it can be done.

He was the one who teach me how to check n reset the meter. I believe he wants a happy n lasting working relation.
If u reset the taxi meter , i will still can get the figure , no joke .
Cos No 2 u cannot reset , u can only reset No 1 .
