Are you pulling my leg? Morning have lot's of $8 advance call, and much better connections. If OMO, what's the best working schedule? Now considering OMO with CDG or Transcab. The TC incentive are real attractive, after minus incentive rental is less than $80/day. However after reading about the down side of how TC operate, could not decide to take 1.8l Wish or Sonata.

Today started well at 6.30pm, quite a good day till 12am. Mid night session was scary, green lantern everywhere with long and slow moving queque. HDB lagi worst, went for thosai at Yishun and keep at 1.30am, profit only $60. First time wash the car myself due to bad collection, wash until whole body sweat, knn. -
Welcome to the Real Taxi World Sotong !!!!

But joke aside, 6.30pm to 1.30am $60 net is too low, hope it is not gross.

$8 Advanced Calls? TC advanced calls onli $6.50...
dun say advanced... mdt sometimes two or three days dun even bling a single call at all... TC even if heng heng bling you one advanced... usually is taiko one...
day shift peak onli 3.5 hours... if kenan jurong island or tuas or cargo complex during peak... can kiss the whole day's collection good bye liao...
a nite kaki... one day drive till morning peak... no one entertain him on the talkie or phone... den he ask khoon... why day drivers all so serious during morning peak...
of course mah... make or break for the day depends on tat 3.5 hours... after tat... meter no extra all the way...
like hammerX2 always ask khoon... how the day drivers can tahan to drive with no extra...
khoon drive day and nite before... nite collection up at least twice the speed compared to day...
now training body to slowly adjust to nite shift...
nite shift.... here I come!

I stopped hunting for pax at 12.15am and went makan, pump diesel and wash car then keep at 1.30am
At my present standard, usually after deduction of cost can fetch between $60 - $80 profit from 6pm to 12am.
Right now I'm free from financial pressure, just want to learn the trade leisurely, can only fetch $2xxx per month is fine for me. Do not want to stress myself until I begin to hate driving.
My personal target is $4k per month, and I'm giving myself 2 yrs to achieve that.

Today is my off day, sleep non-stop, very shiok! 
Woke up went makan with wife, then sleep again, woke up watch TV and eat again.
I'm still very young, but leading a lifestyle of a half retired man, feel guilty sometimes.....

Friday and Saturday shouldn't be too difficult to generate $1xx profit with 7-8hrs of driving including a few smoking (10-15 mins) break.
Sunday wise... after 11pm - 12am, green lantern everywhere with long and slow moving queques. However you can compensate the difference by going in to CBD areas starting at 5pm to collect $3 surcharge without being harrass by the ERP and bus lane restrictions.

Brother, your hours of working is quite ok, hopefully you also can try morning from 4am to 11pm if you are OMO, but lets be frank, Taxi driving inital start is start with a bomb, chiong here and there, then they earn alot in the mid way, after that, all start to diminish, because by 2 years, you see through, kua kui liao, then you see a diminish of income, but more rest.I am afraid you might not see a 4k target
