Drive smart and not drive hard to make money.
-
One of my TVL classmate, he is a day trader and taxi driver. He keep his driving routes simple so he got time to monitor his share while waiting in the queue at airport and yet can make some money compare to those chiong here and there. Chiong here and there taxi driver tend to get exhausted and easily get de-motivated.
His driving routines
Airport to xxxx. After drop off passenger, he went back to airport again. One day he went back airport about 8 times. Airport tax + peak hour + distance fare, on average, one trip can make $30. 8 trips = $240. Less rental 100 + petrol 60, take home $80. Tng chu koon liao.

Those lau gui driver are mostly pastime one, children so big already, most of them, like one of my crown hirer, 2 daughters U graduated, one son also graduated, all working high post, every 3 to 4 months, bring him go tour, everyweek go eat restuarant, they wanted him to quit, but he insist on driving, and he drives at nite, go airport, go to his usual nitespot, those ah beng KTV lounges all he knows, knn, he can even speak thai, so geyland and GMile sure get booking. For him $50 per nite profit he ok liao, alway call me to take over if he went for holiday. I have to pick up his usual clients and do road sweeping, take call, unlike him, just wait and talk cock.
There is a big different between a young family driver and a older driver whose childrens are already earning a living. And also for those who had self inflicted problem like debts and gambling or supporting mistresses. You hv to differentiate that, it is not a matter of driving smart or hard, how smart can you get as a TD job, and what plan do you want when out of the carpark only, someone flag you down and said "Airport" or nearby "foodcourt"

If you want to know if your TVL classmate is telling you the truth or bullshitting? You have to try it yourself, but to get the actual details plying AP. As a TD, to have a good income not only work hard or smart, you must have a bit of luck too in your daily routine to find pax. I believe ones should have the so call 天时地利人和，plus è¿�。 For example, yesterday Sat at 5pm when I drove out from my woodlands carpark , I huat all the way to 9pm collect about 170, 6 long 3 short tripMy personal best since my 2 1/2 year driving. But I know the meaning is that èŠ±æ— ç™¾æ—¥çº¢, business may not be good everytime. Playing AP Alone is very risky if there is flight delay or cancelled any single day. Please correct me if I am wrong here. -
