  Bonus sharing? You sure? or bluff me one... later kenna phui by hirer .

  if u drive 7 days , hirer must give u half bonus , if he dont , bound to be a niao ji niao lan guy. better off not driving for such people.

  I know of some 6 days relief who get pro rated bonus but dont count on it. Generally for 6 days , no bonus coz u already have 1 day off.

  Like for me , i drive 5 days but hirer still gimme 4 free rental days in a year. where to find? almost impossible to get someone like tat.

  With reference to bro kengleong's question on the sonata fuel makaning, if I were to assume 100 = $10 diesel, is that ok?  Or too much or too less?  Let's say the cab is abt 3+ year old...

  Thanks...

  It is not easy to be a taxi driver, especially for the newbies, everything also new, need to pay lots of *lesson fees*, for all sorts of fines....

   

  For me, i started as a hirer......and during that time, i search for any available taxi forums, and came across http://taxiuncle.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=24&p=10992#p10992  , which i had written a blog on all my past experiences.....

   

  When i first came to the forum, i got doubts and they were answered.....just ask when in doubt, there are many experienced TD willing to help you out.....and be surprised, they are not worried that you will break their rice bowl coz u joined the taxi trade.....haha......it is good to have another comrade-in-arms to learn how is the life of a taxi driver...and you could tell the world that taxi driver isn't an easy task....

   

  If you can make a living from this trade, we would be happy for you, if you can't , its fine, always can find another job that suits you better!

  Good luck!

   

  Paiseh....not trying to advertise that webpage.....just hoping to share.....

  very easy to count ...

  if u travelled 300km , u multiply $0.92 ?

  That is what u need to pay .

  Anything more than that , or slightly less , should be the correct amount .

  Cannot be 300km , u pay $30 , too much , should be $27 like that .
