Hi all,
Intend to prowl the streets for a living soon. Can any Bros advise
which companies has the best deal as a hirer ? Union,Premier
or Comfort ? Sorts of new birdie in this trade but had to make a
living.
What ? Just got VL become hirer ?
Best deal ?
Current trend , TransCab Wish ? Still is la i think .
if u got any TransCab hirer friend refer u in , u take $1000 , he take $1000 .
OMO mthly $716 , down from previous $766 . With relief -$50 .
Non Claim Bonus $660 or $600 , this one i not sure .
4 free rental days about $400 .
I calculate all : $8592 + 600 + 400 +2000 = $11,392 for one year
Where to find ?
Go and find one taxi company that match this offer ......
Must be Auto Car . And only 1 year contract .
tat day i told Ken .... the diff between Ken and me , it's he start the month $716 richer than me .
For me , that is 6 day nett salary , sometimes 8 days .... he can shake leg at home and handicap me for 8 days at least . And still beat me .
Just my 3 cents thoughts .
Some will analyse Comfort's strength , as in plenty of calls ...
i was thinking , and my analysis ..... $11,392 ..... divided by 12 months , $949 , meaning if one bookings nett profit is $3 , that will be 316 bookings they need to provide u to match the $949 , consistently every month , for 12 months .
316 bookings a month ? That is $3.50 booking , $2.50 not included .
316 piece of bookings ????
It may need some analysis on this .
Cashless .... i do have credit card facilities ... not much user , i dunno , i never have any major Nets paying mode problems ....
Nets ? No ? Then i pay cash ....
They chose brands of vehicle over payments modes .
Morning pax never go atm titi money , night paxes already prepared cash for taxis .
That's why i never had problems .
About fuel consumption ...
U calculatye diesel as mileage x cents per litre .
eg , 300km , u roughly paid like 300 x $0.88 cents per litre = $26.40 for Sonata , Crown bigger cc , will consume like 300 x 0.95 cents per litre
If Esso , another similiar calculation .
If CNG , it's 270km , roughly $21 . Sometimes 250km .
For petrol comsumption is 1km = $0.13
xtra 10km $1.30
xtra 20km $2.60
xtra 30km $3.90
So $21 plus $3.90 plus $5 ( unknown ) = $29.90 per 300km average calulcation .
many applicants calculate like $11,392 divided by 365 , it's like taxi company subsidised $31.21 for u on daily basis .
$100 rental - $31.21 , nett rental $68.78 .
This calculation also can ..... more simple format .
Then u go and survey what's the rest can match .....
I am glad they stop at 2000 !
Even if 3000 , will still have more applicants , than Wish is not any special liao , now it's special !
for some old bird told me , it's like paying $100 rental , and company paid them free CNG everyday for a year !
ok , Hahahahah . oso can see it that way !!!
becos of capacity issue , Crown will consume more fuel compare to a Sonata or Wish ... especially 4 years old crown , wear and tear .
Crown 3000cc , Wish 1800cc ..... well VVTI engine somemore .
VVTI , jam or no jam , fuel consumption same la .... that's why VVTI .
Sonata TurboDiesel if kena jam , fuel consumption slightly higher . Same to Magentis .
Skoda V6 and Azera V6 consumed the most fuel .
Merc 2200cc has got the lowest fuel consumption for any diesel powered vehicle .
if TS stay around western part of Singapore , and going OMO , he can really consider a Red Wish , If he stay Tampines and wanted a relief , forget Red Wish !

I like this part bro,very creative
got one CallMan also looking for taxi company , i said all the same stuff .
I ended by saying : " i'll drive for whoever tat pay me more money ."
Thanks Poolman and all. Your info is of great help to any new
TVL holder searching for their dream boss. So red carrot is the
call ! Btw, believe as a hirer, I have free excess to my works
schedule. If I need more $$$, I will be on the streets longer.
That is my thought.
Originally posted by ALN:pool, call means more than $3.5… it means better out of town connections leh… and also during raining….
esp sat… knn empty taxi everywhere during peak…. ang moh in condo usually call…. that’s when i steam…. haha
last time i thought the same , thought it generate more $$$ for me , but ........ i still trying to figure out why i earn more money with Wish than the booking Sonata .....
I asked a few friends , without calls , they were shocked that i earn $30-$40 extra compared to them ..... they were like 5-6 calls extra .
Maybe the tactic is different .
My Tuas kaki ..... 6pm go Tuas ...... so many fellow rivals from the same company , 1 hour there ........ then kena one sympathy call to Jurong Point !
Sometimes i was wondering .....
If not for that $11,000 , Comfort really rules , but .......
I quit Comfort that time cos ... i thought they are just too much !
Suntec , they throw Tekka Market call to you !
At Shenton Way , so many calls , they throw you Marina South !!!!
At Tekka near Bugis , they throw you Plaza Singapura !!!
At Changi South , they throw you Goodrich at Changi North Cresent !!!
The most ridiculous , at JooKoon , they throw you NTU !!!
Then at Cairnhill , they throw you Far East Plaza .
Reject 3 times , suspend @! Hahahahahaha .
I counted , 10 guarantee bookings daily for 365 days to match the $11,000 .

Yes...we all know this a pretty huge sums given out increntives and bonus once you are with them, the only and current taxi company, are hitting hard desperately putting a large show that they are offering and their generosity.
But my question for the total as you told 900 units already on road.
Like this figure each $11392 x 900 units. $10252800 my calculator shown.
Sorry just an general discussion. your expertise and you are the expert in this field. taxi god.
How this $10252800 total sum came from, given to each and every signup $11392.
Issit somehow or rather in the other way taken from those 900 persons who signup like the recent one taxi company..cabbies got some dispute about this issue those daily saving $6.
What? is the actual rental per day..but they are collecting from you $100.
Rental for each taxi 30 days $3000, One year $3000x12 months=$36000 minus 4 rental free $400 total $35600.
$35600 nett x 900 units $32040000 my calculator shown.
We not here to checked their accounts...but where in this world got such good offers. Money falling from above our head.
May i ask you.
What? is the cost of a Toyota Wish open market...they do got their operation cost. and those 900 units road tax...and the coe.....the road tax.... the insurance.... the maintenace fee...the staffs salary and etc. And the capital loan for those 900 units the interest to the bank.
In business who will just throw alway money like that.
Even hope to touch first prize 4 D we still need to paid up some money from our pocket, hope to win the prizes.
At the end of the day...Who? will be going to the abattior.
Are we not buying 5 cans one can free abalones like those chinese new year promotion.
Better said but 6 cans...lah. hehehe.

do we care how they get the money ??
i dun care , i just care about at the end of the year , i got that $11,000 .
why do i need to care ?
It's not like u sign 5 yr contract then get the money , this is mthly pay-out , everyone of the 900 drivers got that every month .
Transparent , yes .
Yes Giro $100 from your bank account daily - clear cut , not discrepancy .
End of the month , $716 giro back the account , clear cut , every hirer got it , another non discrepancy .
Every year , bank account update , TransCab $600 NCB , clear cut .
Do we care how much they bought the car ?
Do we care those millions they spent , i dun care .
I care more on my bank account , they got giro in or not .
I mean ....
Comfort Crown get $1200 per year , 4 days rental , rental per day $90 .
Anymore benefit ?
So $1200+$360 = $ 1560 . Gurantee amount .
Contrast leh , against my transparent figure of wish .
