Hope you are well. I am aware of what's happening, thought I didn't post anything on your thread.
Indeed no free lunch. Hougang free porridge also got purpose.
Thanks Bros �
My Advise.
1) Join CDG, as a relief.
2) Hyundai Azera => No ! (When you go Airport, you will CRY)
3) Join LV => No (AS a TD, Your first to learn is sweeping
4) Mentor Pool throw key is because he have his own reason. （心事�人知�） -
Ct2220,
Aren't you driving transcab wish? You advise is to join cdg as relief. HH8888 reason out that by topping another 20+, why not take transcab wish as omo ? What do you think?

If your mind is set to take up OMO, nothing can stop you, for newbies taking up OMO, I call it the reverse course of TD. It is a risk that the TD have to take responsible for himself if he wish to go OMO, if he can make it, good for him, he choose the tough way up, but do not end up like my neighbour, OMO end up giving driving altogether, now doing security guard

I am keeping my options open.
Can be day relief or a wish omo. Not easy to find a nite hirer. Cdg email me a list of hirers, not much choice. Sat/sun have, but 2 days only.
If omo, will set the ship on fire and cut the bridge. No turning back, only one way.

Just happen to know, one of my friend, TDVL was suspended last year, so return taxi and CBL for many months, Comfort say after suspension, just call, will re-issue another cab for him.
Nb, he just call me, Comfort reject his application as a hirer due to blar blar blar.....hahaha CDG...

I can understand that. If good, why give allowances. Like what ct2220 said, no free lunch.
Some said take Transcab Wish, but you also throw key at Jasmine. Thread by chaochao seems to hint something big going to happen. Serious or not? Like that how?
Can join LV or not?
Bro slowly dont kan cheong...many bros OMO here also need relief try out and see here and see if can match with anyone staying nearby.As for LV takes awhile to adjust even for some old bird. Its an extra overhead and burden if you just started, try going otr for a couples of weeks to mths than you decide if its worth joining.

Life or no life is very much an intrinic thinking or motivation. As said before, life is alway you see me good I see you good, somehow, your gf will look better than mine, it is alway like this, so do not get fool by it. As long as you earn an honest living, you got a life, the intrinic mentality (inner self) must be strong and discipline, with it, it can takes in any extrinic (external matters) changes as part of life.Not all peoples can hold a million dollars, given a million dollars, many messed up their life.

hi bro, best to start relief first. i also got my lic recently after much thought and had decided to be relief driver to get myself more familarise with all the route and buildings first. so not so much pressure on myself as i don't have to worry paying the full rental of the car; therefore less overhead and less burden. moreover to drive long hour is also very tiring, almost got myself into accident by dozing off. being omo you will strain yourself out, trust me it is not eay to find relief driver unless you want to drive perm night shift. you can start be a super relief and decide later whether you would want to be a hirer. good luck.
-
Ya I started as relief also to get a hang of it. So find a part time relief try first better.

Simplicity is the key for a TD, making it complicated is therefore, self imposed/created.When we said, I want to be a TD, you have in a way, degraded yourself to lead a simple and easy going life, that is the aims of what you want in life. If you want to create politic and enemity in a Taxi trade, better go back to the corporate world, there, you can show your skill of politic at it very best.
Whether you talk about strategy or not, bila bila you go drive anywhere in singapore, you sure to make profit, unless taxi breakdown or you idle like fark, instead of driving, u go kopi tiam or chatting to get involve in unnecessary empty talk topics, however, that is ok to past time if only you got the time.
If you seek complication in driving Taxis, then I do not know why you want to be a Taxi driver, TD are suppose to be happy go lucky, simple and yet, humerous peoples who do a honest job, and be it OBK or Huat days, it alway end with a smile.

Well said bro! Great to know that there is self-actualizer like you in the taxi driving trade. I do not think it's a form of degrading in life for anyone being a TD unless you start being decaydent. โชคดี ! -

Wish 2.0 full tank 18-22kg depends on pump. Range 260-300km. Wish 1.8 16-18kg range 180-220. But 1.8 use almost no petrol except starting engine. Maybe few dollars a month but 2.0 is running abt 2-5% petrol so must top up 10-15 dollars a week.
HH8888 da ge, my coursemate went to sign up with SMRT today. Was told if non bankkrupt personnel, $1K deposit, if bankrupted before $1.5K. my course mate paid $210 ($10 admin fee, $200 / $1000 deposit can get back 06 months) return your deposit into ur giro if no demerit points or complaint or accident. Plus return full course fee $285.00 as we take our TVDL from STA. Going full day course on coming 24th May and getting new Epica on early June 2012.

I just passed my TDVL test today.
Now thinking hard what is my next step...

Ok guys , how many of them joined TransCab Wish family ?
And they are still there .
JLKL , BCL , EricGo , ct2220 , jackpotluck , elmo , LV59 , LV82 . If i can think of .
Ah Khoon are with Epica .
Newbies wish to enquire about TransCab , can actually ask them .
These people stayed on because they are accident free and even with accident , they unlike myself , they paid normal rate .
As for LV , it is very useful for OMO .
Not taking jobs , but more than that .
Like members will share : " member AP where can try ?"
"member , Qantas which terminal ?"
"member , zoo can try ? "
-
LV members always share info like :" PIE towards AP , accident at Eunos towards AP , avoid . "
This is the sort of infos that can change things around .
Imagine without LV infos , u stuck in the jam and caused you lose $10-$20 in income for that one hour .
So what is that $30 member fee a month ?
Of course overall LV can cost member about $100 in extra expenses each month .
I take that as $3 daily .
To me , that is just one job to me .
-
A newbie , in my opinion .
Should start something low in overheads , as in driving as relief or OMO with the lowest rental in Singapore .
Then eventually hop to CDG , a must try for all taxi drivers . Cos once u wanted to stop as OMO , only CDG can find a relief easier .
kenteolk tried his taxi life from SMRT as OMO , then OMO TransCab Wish 1.8 , then joined LV , then he found taking calls are more productive , so he joined CDG , and always not difficult to find relief , he now drive very short hours . And being happy it's all he wanted .
-
As a relief , one can find any taxi , but of course CDG still good in terms of calls . Although rubbish or non rubbish calls , day shift still handy .
I never recommend SMRT as relief , cos their policy damn funny , security deposit $1k , must sign 1 yr contract one knn , damn funny .
-
In this taxi market , SMRT , Premier and smart , due to the small pool of vehicle and available drivers , very hard to find relief .
CDG still the attractive one due to the bookings .
I have to concede , however what i can condemn CDG about their calls , still many drivers love driving their taxis .
However cocky their customers were , still long Q of applicants .
However high their new Sonata , still long Q of applicants for their new Sonata
However shit their quality of those calls , still many dun think they are helping the call center instead of helping themself .
