if ALN turns to FT cabby , he will become a very good cabby .
Why ?
First criteria : Endurance
He possessed incredible endurance strength .
Just to brush up more lobangs . He needs more .
Or every Friday night, first half 0-3 down , hahahahaha a.
Originally posted by ALN:oh another thing i rem abt prime… their accident excess is high like $2500…. touch wood but good to confirm this…
another worry is prime is a small company… if bankrupt, deposit and bonus gone…. unlikely but just to take note lah…
good luck
teolk, i add on to ALN comments....it's not big or small company... you are dealing with car dealers man.... you know car salesmen sales style....also car sales co leh..advert is very chim one...check if there is any hidden conditions....
Also is the $5K guaranteed in bank? sorry to ask and doubt so much..
Originally posted by ALN:teolk…. i think i share same thoughts with you….
dun know what is the total wish package but the last time i calculate…. prime got the best total deal if you are driving 5 years esp omo….
i only worry petrol price may increase over next few years…. long driving must drive toyota…. fuel efficient and more reliable…. right choice lah… if stupid crown can last 5yrs, another toyota sure can…
u pay 5K deposit and after 5 years u get 5K deposit back plus 5K bonus? or just the 5K that you paid as deposit?....
ask u hor, with your new taxi, how much u charge ur sunday relief? whole 24 hrs?
bro pay $5k deposit 5 years later get back $5k deposit + $5k bonus=$10k
cng counterpart $5K deposit + $11k bonus=$16k
I charge him full $76 from 6am to 6am,I told him I commit 5years so can't give him lower:) he doesn't mind at all

Originally posted by ALN:pool, me not super stamina lah… its cos i only endure 1 fri nite per week…. every day like that best way to go NUH…. haha
second reason for my fri marathon…. cos me beri hungry….
got rich cabby drive long hrs???
hungry buy a loaf of bread put inside ur Sonata lor , can eat ....
I relax one , damn idle one , 4,00pm makan once ( rice )
8pm buy pao + coffee .
11pm , coffee break again ....
1am , reach cck supper again ...... non stop patronise coffee shop .
I am saying , don't be too stress driving a cab , no need put too much burden on your shoulder , then u can enjoy the work of driving a cab in long run .
Time to enjoy a packet of coffee , or have a puff , just do it .

I think the company is Prime Leasing , a popular car rental company .
Also dealing with import & export .
Their idea is to buy car and rented out as taxis , keep mileage low , and good condition , after 5 years , export to 3rd world country .

no bro it's Prime not smart. Prime offer both petrol & cng for some models example Axio & Wish.The petrol Wish is light blue in colour & 7 seater,cng Wish is their normal copper colour & 5 seater
Some models however are only offered the petrol version example Toyota Premio/Allion & Honda Freed
Prime's bonus quite standard - cng bonus=$11000 + $5000 deposit =$16000
Petrol bonus=$5000 + $5000 deposit=$10000
However their cng taxi rental will always be min $3 more expensive than the petrol version,that is y cng bonus is $6k more.it's lppl actually
So Teo , he sign up for the Prime Premio ?
Saw the car just now , it's the Camry , but a CNG one .
After some decent conversation with Teo ... i realized it need several tonnes of courage and positiveness to really sign up for a 5-yr-contract taxi .
We can see the desire teo has , to really go for a Premio , those info and decisions .
U need a total commitment , desire , sacrifice , and he still go for the challenge .
I am so sure , Teo won't regret it .
It's a level up for him .
I can do the same , but i am just the kind of person , who really dislike responsibility . To be a hirer , must have those basic responsibilities .

Teo was right that all deals are lppl and most taxis co are trying to match in a different way.. and i think Teo found what really suits his requirement....
My salute to him for signing up for 5 years..
if not wrong , he the first of the Prime here in Sgforums .
See the different mentallity of taxi driver by different groomings ?
Comfort groomed taxi drivers will be like me , ALN , idle type ....
SMRT groomed those like TEO this type of solid mentality driver .
Comfort drivers too pampered by their booking system liao , without it , one will really struggle .
Like me , 8 years playing with the MDT , from the old NC2000 , to the Saphire , to the 3rd Generation MDT , and the current 4th Generation MDT .
SMRT drivers are really hardworker , no calls , just Pick&Go , Pick&Go Pick&Go Pick&Go Pick&Go ....... 365 days , solid .
