Drink kopi also make sure your drink with the right peoples, some can send you to holland. This one newbies also need to know

or if I take from the normal advance also $10?
Normal advance is $8 (but the pickup could more than 30mins later)....
Not many TDs will take normal advance jobs.... It is time consuming (wasting time) preparing for the job. Once you are committed to the IVT call, you can't cancel or you will be banned from taking further advance jobs and receive warning letter.
Remember = Time is money.

How much time spent drinking coffee?
For me, if got time go toilet I happy liao, usually one alight, another one pop in.
Was at AMK after sending a pax there, so use the time for a quick dinner. Coke and fries in the car while waiting for current booking calls. Interrupted by one young man who paid for my diesel down to town, at the stroke of midnight, so no complain la.

so is the current advance of $10 enough to attract more TD to take advance instead of current which is only $2.30?
enough to cover for your loss of time?

Take a rest... Toilet breaks (every 3-4hrs).
Meeting up with colleagues & friends only at your own convenient. Once you sit down... you may not want to get up and drive again....

1hr meter = $25 to $30 ( you want to waste 1hr for the advance booking ? )
with new adjustment = 1hr may range between $30 to $35.
advance calls will not be attracted to many....
unless it is a
MIDNITE ADVANCE !!!
(this... every one take). -

I dunno mah! newbie, just first day on the job. First AB was just next to place I collect my taxi. Second one was planned 40 mins away cos I worried jam but I reach there early. Reason to take 2nd advance was it get me down to town as a destination. 3 rd was in Sentosa and I took it just as a learning experience on how to get there.
btw, next Fridy also different comparison as new fare increase.

If one cannot absorb so much ..... take gradual step at a time .
No way newbies can be master in 1 day .
I cannot even categorized myself as master .
to be honest , some Singapore roads i also cannot make it one .
Like Sengkang .
Like Kovan .
Like Bin Tong Park inside .
Like Novena Balestier area .... like Akyab Road etc , Mandalay Road , etc ....

Wow bro, first few days of driving already so busy huh? Good for you.
By the way, I think you tend to worry too much about small details.
Good luck bro!
