when you pass your tdvl, you got 2-3week to look around.
when the time is near to collect your tdvl, i suggest you look around any hirer staying nearby you and be relief, have a taste what being a taxi driver is like, get some understanding. then you decide you want to be hirer or not and which taxi coy to pick.
still a long way and things might change for the better or worst for and taxi coy.
offer and rate today may not be the same when you are ready

khoon drive taxi half a year plus... already see so many tat started later then khoon... straight go into hirer / omo... den quietly leave the trade... why?
start as relief first no wrong one...
so many newbies say learn a lot from the thousands of postings in this forum..
but the veri simple advice tat all keep saying: <<START AS RELIEF FIRST>> dun want to accept... den dun say learn tis n tat from here...
this one simple advice can ensure we progress from stage to stage in our taxi career (if it is a career in the first place)....
start as relief... your hirer sure wil have some days let u drive full... den u will feel the impact of the difference... den you can make an informed decision to go into omo anot...
-
there is onli so much our boday can do...
taxi driving is veri weird one... it is not drive longer hours earn more...
plus as a new bird... u wont hav enough energy and experience to bring in the same amount of $$$ compared to a seasoned omo...
not saying cannot be hirer / omo... but start from basics... relief no pressure... end of shift put rental in the taxi... fuck off liao...
omo... wake up onli... muz think 100+ rental... 50+ diesel ... erp cost... parking cost... all upfront cash hor...
rental - taxi company most let u owe three days? but snowball lor...
diesel - no diesel... taxi can move meh?
erp - cashcard muz hav $$$ inside when u start your sshift right?... even though is charge to the pax...
parking - hdb says muz buy the balance days for current month plus one full folllowing month hor...
u do your sums... hirer first day start onli... how much overhead liao?
-
start as relief...
first day overhead when start engine = zero dollars... (juz hav enough in your cash card and lose change)
coz end of shift den top up diesel... give hirer rental when handover... at most additional cost to wash car...
by then... even as a newbie... more or less will hav enough collection to cover these cost... plus earn your eat rice money...
-
not say cannot be omo...
some poeple like JLKL (actually he also hav a SAT relief)... jackpotlok... made it as a OMO...
but ask yourself first... do u hav tat kind of discipline like JLKL? everyday same time start... same time end...
or tat kind of luck like tat tee kong kia jackpotlok hav? turn every ulu corner also got pax... sometimes feel like kicking him... ha ha...
but start as relief first... den discuss with your hirer let you drive full for few days on n off... den u will realise full cost n half cost... wat is the difference in earning... den u go do your sums feasible to go into omo anot...

khoon is very right,
you can see thru is forum that many newbie still has many question ask over this forum though started driving taxis. and some who just come and go? reason? not sure , maybe they did not make it after driving as omo.
being omo depends on individual needs and skill plus knowledge and intelligent.
go hunt for hirer, a good one will also be able to guide you thru this transition period,
be humble when learning

By if you are using Cab as private vehicle to fetch childrens and wife to and fro from work and school, OMO is not bad, you need to - off the the transportation cost your family would had spent if you did not take them. All in all, you still got time to spent with family in your cab.On the other hands for OMO, the pro is that you do not hv to rush to return, wash and pump as you like, it is like own time, own target, firer, watch your front kind of stuff.
There are pros and cons in both OMO and relief, see how you outweight it, by doing sum, it can be misleading due to the Y factor, some can make more, some who like to take too much kopi break or idle, can alway end up on the losing side as OMO

i'm not married but i got few elders needed my assistance in fetching them going medical appt/ treatments. An uncle with stoke on wheelchair n most cab wont fetch, my God-ma with diabetes n weak pair of legs, going up bus hard for her to climb hard for her to get down, mum with anemia n depression, will blackout at times when walking too far or going up bus. To them taking taxi, they cant really afford esp they r not working.
Important point, its time to repay them now. When they r healthy, they took care of me when i'm young. now that they r old n sick, its time i do my part esp my mum n god-ma. when god-ma is childless.
We all staying different areas, bedok, cck n marsling. Everytime i see god-ma come visit me n my mum i felt so heart pain. old n weak and need to travel so long distance from marsling to bedok. Sg might not be big but the mental for her is tiring. Everytime mum go visit uncle or god-ma, come back sure tired out due to the travelling n times falls sick. i may not have enough $$$ to give them but i just wan to bring them together for dinner n family gathering as time for them also not going to be very long. at least let them get together.
Been working shift all alone, by the time off work, they already zzz. i'm the elder son so i got to take this responsibility n i should.
So this becomes part of my reason i tot of OMO n TD.
Due to these, if i'm on relief n super relief, wash taxi, topup n return taxi would be either too rush or not able to earn. i know using taxi as personal transport for one main reason going to die or the takings gonna be shit but nothing compared to having time with them when they r still around. Most pple forgotten about we have grown up n they have also grown old. Appriciate those around n what u have, life is something strange that we wont know n in next moment, its gone. when its gone, no point crying or regreting.
I know all big bros n sistas here worked hard n gained experiences therefore advising newbiw liked me to be OMO first n be relief to gain more experiences but i got to give it a try. i already really done something that i tell myself no turning back but to look forward.
Sorry for the "loh soh-ness" :P
too far away telling my house story hehehehe....sorry sorry.... every household got their own story, sorry to tell mine :P ps ps ....hehehehe.....

Wha, very touching, bowah me read already also cry. Park oneside, go toilet first.
Yes man, we must alway remember the old people, but everytime I go clark or boat quay to pick up those si lan kias and si gina (kids), drinking and smoking all the way, I shake my head. (top head) What future lies for us when we get old. will there be people like Inspire78 or people who travelled 40km for pax like BJ???
If you think you can handle OMO, by all means, cos you will be on your own.

IT is a fact tat when days CK is driving - Khoon hav more time to spend with family... on days when CK idle not driving... khoon no time for family liao...
