Hihi,
Just gonna collect my azera frm smrt on thursday.......seemed like a total noob to me how to start off etc.......any advice for new omo drivers...? my buddy frm the class also together as noob as me....ty
Just try out ba.....wont die one i guess.....ready to drive 14 hrs no choice cause just bankrupt architectual cant practice le......
Actually what i dun knw is if i start at 7am should i proll around yew tee where i stay or just drive aimlessly around or empty go to airport.....my target rest time is frm 12pm to 4pm then i start again till maybe 2am. Got used to 5 hrs of sleep just dun knw how long i can tahan only....pls advice.
oh ty bro.....this timing was advice by my neighbour who happen to also drive taxi...ty so much....i dun see it as it as competition...all can make living all the better ba.
Another advice frm the bros here is it worth it to subscirbe to those SMRT coporate jobs.....looking at those doesnt look quite lucrative but in case bad luck.......just thought can help a bit...? Cost is the stupid walkie talkie and the monthly 40 bucks in subscription.
Hi Azera,Welcome to sgtaxi forum!
U r the man,just started & lut azera lol...omo somemore
Ur timing is ideal,but not to scare u- it's going to be very very siong
If i'm not wrong azera rental is $98 b4 gst,cng + petrol say $40
your cost is $140+
If driving 15hrs you wanna earn $150,you have to collect $300
Sound very familar to me,cos this is exactly my target I set everyday,I can tell you it's achievable,but very tough
I gave up being a omo after 3mths,knn really super no life
Ty bro , i expect it to be tough but tougher to face my family with no dough. Just gonna hang in there before the OA discharged me....at least 2-3 yrs ba.....if not i knw nuts except building house.
I suggest u use the azera to learn the taxi trade first, then after 6mths return the areza to smrt (let them fine u $50)...after that u got 2 choices
1) register with comfort to be relief & choose sonata & whack night shift
easily u can get $150 but hour cut short to maybe 10hrs or even 8hrs (my comfort night shift friend always nett $150 driving just 5pm to 2am)
2) be a hirer of new but yet cheaper cng taxi & whack omo
I have gone thru what u going go thru...trust me my friend,not worth it to be omo of smrt/areza
oki i will heel yr advice......take myself as a guinea pig ba...:) ty so much bro
hey cck ? CM looking to drive leh ..... hahahahah
Poolman also stay cck leh ..... wanna drink kopi ? Hahahahah
Ok la ....... Azera .
your timing like what i did a few years back .... no life la .
OMO same pay like i work night shift , night shift i earn more i think .
In the end , OMO driving night shift .
Almost every omo have the same thinking,I want to whack both peak hrs & earn more,afternoon can rest...This is technically correct & workable but how many of us actually really made it? can our body take it after 6mths? 1 year?
I've tried b4 morning 6am start engine,drive till 11am cover rental & fuel,then go home sleep,4.30pm come out again whack my salary till 12am or sometime 2am
On paper we say 1 hr we can collect average $25-$30,but the actual fact is not like this.sometime things just doesn't turn out to be wat we expect.sometime 1hr I did only $12 or less on a bad day
What i'm trying to say is better drive smart,if I can use only the night time to earn $150,why should i drive in the morning & the $$$ I earn goes to the taxi company?
I drive from day to night I earn $150,my friend only drive in the night also earn $150
Which one u think is better?
After 6mths of driving omo,I think u will agree with me.anyway just a suggestion,you still need to make your own decision.I wish u all the best
year end , lut night shift la ... surely make money now til december .
12pm to 12am i guarantee $250 minimum .

oki....i understand le....but i still running some renovation part time so need a vehicle as well....hope everything turn out well ba....thks to all shifu for the advice....
Pool will agree with me,he very lao jiao u should learn from him :)
oki....will try out poolman timing as well , as i take vehicle on thursday , how abt the weekend hrs...? any advice...bros.. what u meant poolman is u driving omo frm 12pm - 12am and nett nett take home 250 a day..?
You can consider start at 11am,by 5pm make sure u cover rental & fuel.
Then 5pm peak hr start to whack salary,night shift 1 hr easily $25-$30.make full use of the $3 cbd surcharge,it's going to help u escalate your taking
if everthing smooth,you can go home by 12am,taking min $180
then can sleep till 10.30am & start a new day again
I always nett min $170,sometime $200plus driving this timing. and I can sleep full 8-9hrs every night. Then Fri & sat whack till morning
If possible try to get a sunday whole day relief & spend time with your family
okok.....i try this timing also....ty
