But personally i want to be relief if possible. By the way, i am living in bishan, so if anyone know any hirer looking for relief at bishan or nearby, inform me. Thanks in advance.
JustThinking you also just passed?...haha maybe we r from the same batch...haha... -
Juz finish putting some notes for hirer ard my carpark n have some thoughts.
1) It seems that my carpark had alot of taxi parking at night without night shift. Most i suspect only work Day shift, can they sustain with only day shift?
2) While giving out e notes, I happen to chance upon a wish which didnt off his monitor. It shows 1730-2200 earnings $158. Issit consider alot?
3) By what means does most TD earn their keep? Mostly booking or normal flag down?
4) how does TD submit their income tax? Self proclaim or by e records in the taxi meter? Does the IRAS or the hirer company know how much e drivers earn? Sorry if the question are too stupid but as a newbie, I really dunno...But if Q4 is classified... Can u guys juz private msg me?

Answer : They have their reasons , and problem , u have your own problems too ... so dun worry about others , worry for yourself .
Some just like , no luck in trying to find a partner .
Good try u paste paper on their windscreens , it work wonders . Cos these people will tell their friends and kaki someone name Gavin trying to find a hirer .

If you submit income taxes , u'll end up no need to pay income taxes , but must pay medisave .
Taxi companies do not provide details like how much we earn , it's against the law i think .
But we must submit how much we earn daily , off set diesel , car wash , etc .... and report all to IRAS .

I don't think so... as i am one of the last few batch for online e-learning. just took my time to pass it.
did you try asking or talk to TD when you take a taxi? some are rather friendly and willing to share their experience. i remember 1 did mentioned that it is better to start from driving sat/sun to earn more experience 1st, as mon-fri day, people are in a rush and will be demanding (pressure, pressure)

oic....I also one of the last few batches of the semi online batches...which need to attend 2weeks of night lessons at STA before the self e-learning. Already cannot tahan the 2weeks of lesson as even if you miss one lesson you are not allowed to take e e-test....heard after my batch all that register need to attend 1mth of night lesson...cannot imagine 30days of night class and cannot miss even 1 lesson or late.....quite inflexible, should at least something like a 90% attendance thingy to take the test mah.....but luckily it's already over for me... As for going over to talk to them...I am still trying to have a chance to meet and talk to them...as of now either they are not ard or the car are park in the carpark alrdy... -

Ya he must be too happy to off it, I chk the summary shown and saw that all the earnings are by flag down without any bookings during that period...and lucky for that I got an insight of the screen for the first time...hehe -
IMHO if you want to be a relief driver with CDG.Registered yourself with CDG,place your security deposit with them.Ask them for driver portal CDG website login & password.Go matching tab to check for suitable hirer,off course must call and discuss with them the price,timing,term & conditions....so and so...For my side Jurong West & Boon Lay,no problem finding a hirer."It is a relief choose hirer market" especially for Sat & Sun relief job.I don"t really know why the turnover rate for vacancy of night relief at my side is always very high so not really a problem if i choose to drive @ night.But sometimes having too many option to choose can be a bad thing too,its like you dun know which one to choose.Just like you go to a car park with abundance of parking lots,you dun know which one to park
Hope this help! -

I only knw that they have a 2 files in their office table. One is Hirer looking for Relief and the other is relief looking for Hirer. So depend with you want, you just fill in the right book or just browse thru the hirer list. As for hirer database, I am not so sure. -

I think most of my area TD doing day and need night relief. Wanted to do night but my body cannot tahan as I get heaty very easily. Everytime stayed too late will get sore throat no matter how much water I drank or how much I sleep the next day. Maybe getting older liao...moreover I thought at least do day I can pick up both my kids to and fro school. So like my area, I think same like you, to get night driving is easier compared to day... -
