he pays me $65 & my rental is $35
once I hit my target ($xyz) I siew chai liao
normally by 2-3pm I am home already.
sat & sunday I am off. got another set of reliefs driving
so total I work only +-45hrs per week
my income i can say i am very happy,most importantly I have lots of quality time with my family.
after almost 4 years on the road,I came to this conclusion that:
You don't need to drive long hours to earn what you want
like what pool said,get the strategies right & BINGO
work smart not hard
Originally posted by Poolman:base on the demand now , one hour $30 consistently very good liao .
Like mine day relief .... for me , he quite consistent , started 5.30am , end 2pm sometimes early , collection $160-$180 range including ERP .
Average income u also can figure out .
Taking him as an example , if he collected $160 , that's for say 7 hours job , meaning that's what an OMO needed to cover for rental and fuel , without considering wages .
7 hours .
7 hours straight can be very taxing for the body .

Machiam sublet vehicle leh. Can sublet all to reliefs?
After the fare revision, I'm constantly collecting $300+ on most nights except Mondays / Tuesdays. Even then, I'm still collecting $270-$290. On hot nights like Wed/Fri/Sat/Sun, it's not difficult to collect close or over $400 over. And I drive night shift from 5pm to 5am. Taking half hour break after every 3-4 hours. So, I don't understand why would anyone want to go OMO and drive 16 hours per day. My average net income is $4,500 - $5,000 per month, depending on how many days I choose to rest and just pay rental. Drive taxi buay tan, my foot.!! Of course if you ask any taxi drivers in the coffee shop or even in this forum here, no one will say drive taxi good earning. But, deep down their heart, they know very well... and I only started driving taxi in late 2010.

Sorry, my diesel is about $43 per day hor...
So, it should be
$300 - $50 (rental) - $43 (diesel) = $205
$205 x 30 = $6,150
Less: Almost every Monday - Wednesday I go for R&R = $205 x 8 (assuming 4 weeks per month) = $1,640
Net = $4,510
Don't believe I go R&R every Mon - Wed? Ask Poolman if he knows a TD who go Batam every week?

I dun want to know .... some will never be in my list anymore .
From what I heard, he's out of taxi driving now...for good...so it doesn't matter if he is still in your list.
Ok that's all for this thread .
Moderator conclusion : OMO is not the way to go .
