Relief Driver
-
anyone can give some advice on being a relief driver?
understand that CDG hirer can have max 4 relief. How many hirer can 1 relief have?
What about days when we are sick? do we still have to pay hirer rental?
Do we need to pay deposit? heard CDG can split 250x4, is it on daily, weekly or monthly instalments? How about other companies?
What are the duties and rights of the relief?

You can have many hirers as a relief...
But why you need so many hirers for ?? Good 1, one enough.....
Before you drive for him....
Negotiate terms with potential hirer. Day day or night shift. Changing shift hours (4pm to 4am) or (5pm to 5am), or (6pm to 6am)....
If you are driving night, go for 4pm to 4am...
Also, ask, if you are driving 7 days week, do you get any share of the bonus given by the company. If no... then, drive 5-6 days week enough....
. Take one day off.Wat is the point, sharing half his rental's liabilities and you don't get a share from the drivers' bonus ?
Car washing is normally the duty for the night shift driver. Which meant that you need to wash the cab, inside & outside (by yourself or by @ the kisok). Day shift driver (normally the hirer) will be responsible for the cab's servicing @ office.
Topping up diesel. Normally, done individually. Hirer topped up before his shift ends and you do vise visa.
If you want to ends the driving agreement - do it on a amicable way... give a one week notice.
*** Also check for any dented parts already on the cab with the hirer before you take the keys and become his relief.

forgot to mention - the dos and don'ts of a relief

On Job Training....
As long as.... you are taking care of the cab... everything is fine..
Most importantly, pay rental promptly after your shift.

Just like to know as much as possible to avoid offending people unknowingly.

Peak hours started at 5pm.... right ?
You want your peak hours be interrupted by the shift changing ?
Furthermore... night sweeping closes early.. ( i meant pax don't go out late in the nights on Weekdays )... Monday to Thurs. If you are hardworking from 4pm to 12midnite...
You should be able to clock $160-$200 gross income. Midnite sweeping are mainly on luck... unless you got regular jobs. (ask Poolman for some
). -

That's why you have to negotiate with the potential hirer.... including your SICK LEAVE (with MC) from Doctor....
Some Hirer ( when I was a hirer ) gives FREE Rental on MC.
Some Hirer takes half your shift rental.

Don't have to check everyday lah... It is a fucking turn-off if the hirer check you when you returns for the day & vise visa...
Some trust is needed if you want the Driving-Partnership to work.... Be honest to your hirer if you have dented the cab... just repair it when time is convenient.
Alot of give & take... Don't take all the time... partnership don't work that way....

Cab wash (outside) range from $3-$4.
Some kisok also provide cleaning inside... have to ask them for rates... or the members in the forum.
Or
Just take a cloth to cleans the seats...
and dust the floor mats...
also.. take a clean cloth to clean the inside cab's windows & windscreens (front & back).
It is a routine choir.

Many kisoks provide.....
Car vacuum services (for additional $5)...
You can do it weekly or every 2 weeks......

Talk when you need to talk....
If not... just concentrate on your driving.... TD's priority is to bring the pax from Point A to Point B. Collect fare. End of transaction.
Always ask Pax for their specified routes to travel.... ( don't act smart.. later kena complaint, Singaporeans LOVE to COMPLAINT
). If Pax's specified route gets caught in a jam... you are NOT responsible. -
