Hi, all seniors - Like to ask or seek for your opinion, I just obtained my TVL licence, thinking of quitting fulltime job as a senior IT admin.but better gain some experience before committed myself as a FT taxi driver. Well, a oldaged hirer offered me to drive as a relief from 6.00 p.m. to 11.30p.m. on his more than 4 yrs old Crown at a rental of $30.00, Is this rental OK with this short hours driving scheme on 2 weekdays and 1 weekend(Sat.). Please advise?
6pm to 11.30pm , then u a slave for him . That's all i summed up .
If u intend to quit IT admin , then do it .
Dare dare chiong like me .... extra pressure means improvement for yourself .
U put a slight pressure into your life , ur life gets exciting , more meaningful , more fruits .
Got what i mean ...
New generation Singaporean , new working concept , new inspirations , new ideas .... if u stick to the old method of surviving , u might just lose out to the new Singaporeans .
Wow, so fast got a reply for our prof.on this forum, Mr. Poolman
Yahloh, I also feels a bit like being bully by this old hag whom been driving taxi for the past 30+ years. He got two relief at day shift and he drove the night shift.
Pool. I'm not belongs to the new generation group, I needs to support my family, obtaining the TVL just in case kanna retrenchment loh.
Originally posted by ALN:6.00 p.m. to 11.30p.m $30.00 crown…. i would say the offer is fair…. but whether it is workable depends on your and his schedule…
for the hirer, may or may not be a good deal for him…. depends on his driving schedule…. e.g. if he omo type then best for him… if he drives only 6am to 6pm type, then you are a hindrance for him to get a more suitable relief
for you, i will take it up just to try out… cant earn much cos short hours…..
ALN , new bird 6pm to 11.30pm , eat what ????
Me can la ... me always stop at 11.30pm , right ?
Still a millionaire cabby , right ?
shemimi , i am not saying u new generation , i meant , we must possess new geneartion mindset now to the changing world , the world kept changing , global also changing , weather changing from warm to hot etc .... we must also change ... i am always changing , to the changing environment , cos the environment cannot change for us .
Got what i mean ?

ya man , that hirer is a old devil , we called it . Lao Gui !!!
Shemimi , let me guessed , now u're earning so little , as much as $1600 -$1800 , and expenses kept rising , and job shaking ....
My advice : To succeed in life , health is very important !
To do 2 jobs and earn that little bit , and jeopardised your health , and cause your family a little bit of problems , for what ?
Yes , taxi is a terrible job , very tiring , unless u are ALN , that chap Money Alway Not Enough !!!
Got for either job , just 1 !
To earn $2000 as Full Time taxi driver , i would say ...close 2 eyes .
To earn $2500 , u need to stay at least 10 hours on the road .
To earn $3000 , u need to be a OMO , a overall healthy OMO .
To earn $4000 , n need to be a Super OMO , a die young soon OMO .
U decide . Hahaha , sarcastic , but somehow a bit true .
ok , unless this old man say : " No need wash taxi , it's ok . "
If must wash , walan eh , 10.45pm must head home ....
Have u thought of it ???
dun belief ALN , he old bird , familiar with routes and lobangs .... he can earn , not new bird .

so a green bird like me and no road knowledge, it will been better for me to drive during day’s times. But ironically, most hirers occupied the day’s shift, it supposed I quit my FT job, I’m in a difficult position to find a day shift.
discuss with your family , like what i did when i first started , telling them to bear with you , when u going to switch to as a taxi dvr , and the time will be some odd hour , i encourage u to start as night shift , easier to learn , easier to master , easier to find a cab .
From there , learn learn learn , nothing but learn .
Then when u matured into a mature driver , start hunting for a day shift .
Then life back to normal .
It's youyr family and learning ladder .
How i know ?
Cos i did that ...
And i still loving life as a 2nd shift driver .
And my family accept that fact .
For me ...
Family first ..
Health and happy working 2nd ...
$$$$ and soccer 3rd . ...
the rest ?..... depending on options .
Remember the priorities .

But for the last few years, I sacrificed my night outing and sleep early as I need to wake early to fetch my son to school. And this year, he sitting for a O level exam that why I need to find a day’ shift hour secondly need to earn some income, you know time are bad.
Your son O level ? Uncle level leh ......
Uncle , day shift hard to come by .
But can try your luck la , who knows one of yr neighbour's relief just resign , and he need a replacement , u never know .
