Hi everyone,
recruit in this forum, hope to learn a trick or 2 from seniors here. I am thinking of becoming a TD, thus I joined here as it is more active in this board.
where can I find threads meant for future taxi drivers to-be?. :P
cheers
Jonathan
Got your TVL already? Which company you want to join?
Hi Hammer,
tvl not yet..just went for medical checkup on Fri, tues getting report.
I also dunno, some said CDG more bookings and diesel cheaper = best, also Transcab is the 2nd best taxi coy after CDG.
wait till i got my TVL then I seek advice from you guys. :) but first, may I know which coy is best for OMO type? last, still true if attend class with either comfort or smrt will pass easier?
no need worry ... pass liao then say .
after pass , find one cab near your house and whack .
u drive CDG , u'll became a CDG driver .
u drive transcab , u'll became a transcab driver .
funny way to say ?
u drive cdg , u take call .
u drive transcab , u sweep .
take call , no show , pissed off . waste time .
sweep , no extra $2.50 , pissed off . waste time .
so how ?
there is no secrets to how to drive a transcab , mdt no sound no pictures , but meter always got extra .
haiz...... another 1 wan to be OMO........
ydae i OMO 1 day also buey tahan liao....... :P

I got a hirer 32yo only, OMO for a year, when i first relief for him, he looks pink, youthful and full of synergy, like the V power type. After a year, called me for super relief, I see him look like 45yo, hair also dropping, face dark from too much sunshine, and worst, now smoke more than last time...haiz, I told him to find a job better.

yah lor... cktan1973 go MIA for two days... khoon omo first day still okay... see meter during evening peak in towwn veri shiok...
but second day cannt tahan liao... do enough keep before peak ends...
Thanks to all Bros or Sis for the replies. Appreciate them alot and my bad if I cannot reply back to everyone. :P
Is OMO really that siong if one just drive for 9 - 10 hrs daily? bowah's story is really scary. All i know is if 2 or more people driving the same cab, they can co-pay the rental and maximise the usage of the vehicle since it is a tool for TD.
I got some questions but I will ask one at a time. If I register my TVDL course with either one of the 2 taxi operators, do I have to go to their office for the lessons e.g SMRT in woodlands and CDG in Sin Ming. If so, is CDG more easily accessible via bus or MRT network?
Poolman, what is "mdt" har?

MDT = Multi Display Terminal .
The machine you saw in every cab , got names and taxi number one ?
Then if taxi " For Hire" , will have job come in one , or "current booking" in taxt terms .
Like what they say : Call .
Comfort , alot , no destinations . Could be anywhere .
TransCab ? MDT got , but for me to hang my Galaxy Tab . Or else Galaxy Tab dunno put where ?
TransCab got calls , but TransCab calls , Uncle me where got time to take ? Not used to their calls .
I drive 3pm to 1am shift like that , now not used to going to places i dun feel like going , esp Woodlands such ulu places after 8pm .
TransCab calls all come in after 8pm , to 11pm . Esp outside CBD . And Tuas area from 5pm to 8pm .
Tuas calls after 8pm , so many . But Uncle Poolman let them rot one .
Tuas calls after 8pm , all Jurong x4 , Clementi , CCK , Bt Panjang , Yishun , Woodlands , Bukit Batok , buay steam one .
Let them rot .
Little India , Jalan Besar , Mustapha , North bridge Road , Arab St , Newton Circles , Balmoral Cresent , Telok Blangah , Golden Mile , where got time ?

Yo , you now focus on your course , you pass liao then worry .
Yo TS , now pass only your medical ?
Course is 3 weeks , 3pm to 10pm daily from Mon-Fri .
Then pass liao , Excursions , then wait for LTA approve your TVDL , then become relief bla bla bla .....
All in all , needs about 2 months .
Now not the time to worry .
Worry is when can start course .
now many newbies went casino , lose until pants drop .
credit cards 4-5 pieces all maximum . Burst liao .
pay minimum until die also cannot finish paying .
now they also driving a cab to cover the payment . Working alone of $2000 salary cannot fulfill those debts .
u will face lots of competition on the road now .
Then u'll see why some drive like fuck , so hungry ?
There must be a reason .
now many went into OMO , thinking taxi can earn good bucks .
Yes of course can earn .
With a cost .... either u earn , and die young at a later stage ,
Or
U still earn , but body here pain there pain , gastric here gastric there , bladder here pain there pain , knee numb here numb there . Eye bags bigger and bigger , until can contain water . Like a balloon .
32 became like 45yrs old .

True, then most of them belly also become big big...knn, before 40s, all kinds of high blood, low sperm counts, high cholestrol, low white cells problem come in. In every occupation, Health is wealth, especially so for TD, if you do not hv a discipline to keep fit, both the mental and physical stress on the road can melt you down.
OMO is ok, but at least get a relief. Some OMO guys ask me to take over their cab, I become the hirer, they be the relief, cos most cannot tarhan liao, especially those who family is still young and got bad habit like gambling or flirting
