OMO, I Quit...
-
Ya true. Like for me I been driving for almost 20 years so cannot do without a car. Even I take bus once after sending my cab for servicing after 2-3 stops I gave up. So for those who is used to not having a ride then driving relief is definately the way to go. OMO is only for people whom is really relying on a car to get around. So of course must suffer a bit for the luxury lah.

Well, that is very true. I can never get use to taking bus. Though only been driving for 3 years, tried being a relief, being a hirer with relief and OMO. OMO is still better for me. Less problems. Don't need everyday wash car, don't need rush for time. Suka suka what time want to drive also can. Pro and cons lah.
There's always this problem pumping "diesel", when I was a relief hirer always say I pump not enough. End up after pumping at coy I drive to the nearest kiosk to pump till the brim but still say I pump not enough. Don't know why when OMO my diesel usage is always lower. With relief is always higher, 4 to 5 litres diff.
Now looking for relief for 6am to 1pm. Can find got at least $25 more to my daily income. Cannot also nevermind. Think too much, Everything also cannot do.

Super doesnt come easily, if got, also lugi quite a bit for rental. For throwing rental, let's say if going for 1 week holiday, r u going to give 7 days' rental to taxi company? That $$ aint cheap..Compare driving 12 hrs (1/2 rental) to 12 hrs (full rental), it's no brainer which shift can earn more. But if ur talking bout split shift driving for OMO, time is wasted on in between rest ( Either u go home zz or do ur own stuff for that period).
As for weekend, no doubt few hrs can cover rental or maybe diesel cost as well. But ur driving for free just to pay rental.
As Red5xx has said "one word, drive smart...
" For me no diff on income, same driving hrs. everyweek one day off. My MDT not on steroid. Though sometime lots of ping but weekly i only take 3 to 4 calls.
Night shift: Mon;Tue;Thur;Sun. After midnight not easy to find pax, it's all waiting game, like fishing.
Day shift: also certain timing pax not easy to come by but know all the Hotspots then all will be easy. Better than night.
Friday, Sat and eve of Public Holidays confirm night but still need to drive smart.
When I started, everywhere I go. Rubbish truck. Anything take. Slowly u learn your trade.
Advise to newbies, don't OMO. Learn first.
One newbie form CityCab ever call me. Drive 6am to 11pm. Income worst then half shift.
When was new as a relief income was half of now as OMO.
Pay $50 to $55 to learn instead of $100; $104 or $115

I am now qualified to say this "OMO, fuck lar!".. "Half shift is the way to go!"

dun nid to ask me lah.. people who know me will know i really earn peanuts.. but of cos i dun drive long hours... but now, as start of this month, i got reliefs to help me to drive nite and weekends, which means basically, i am working 5 weekdays and having weekends totally off... and i forecast earnings will still be the same but driving hours down drastically.. i think this can only be good for me.. -

OMO muz hav discipline...
in a sense tat although hav the flexibility... but muz be able to �好就收。
dun care where piang... dun care pax waving like mad... time to keep means keep...
if from half shift move to OMO... muz be prepared to earn much lesser...
for day shift... first 6 to 10 hours is drive for taxi company and oil company one... so muz be able to take it...
after omo one full month... would say... pros and cons...
for newbies... start as relief first... if want to omo... after been tru the relief stage.. den u consider...

No need slog under hot sun driving with NO EXTRA and have to compete with day shift YAO GUIs for pax. Also no need do midnight stunts like empty cab back to town and queue for pax or snatching pax from night YAO GUIs. Like that call waste of time?
Please lah if driving taxi you cannot afford to throw 1-2 weeks rental then might as well go back to work. What happen if fall sick? Also need to throw right? What if got family emergencies? Also need to throw right? Then cannot afford throw rental how? If sick 3 days how? 4th days must come out 4 days rental. Can drive 4 days rentals in a day just after recover? We need back up right? Go holiday if throw rental then next few weekend earn back slowly loh. What's the big deal?
And dun forget OMO can have the convenience of a vehicle at your disposal. Dun come tell me half shift earn more then full shift. Ok if the half shift relief earn more then the OMO but if the relief go buy a car in the end who nett earning more? Must consider this factor also what.
Split shift style is something like waking up start to drive, sleep in between then wake up again to drive, definitely time is wasted in between. Unless you use the cab for ur personal disposal, then maybe its ok.
For throwing 1 or 2 weeks' rental, i think its silly & not worth it. Why slave for the company & parting with own hard earned $$ for nothing? For me, i admit i can't afford to do that.
Yes OMO can have the convenience of a vehicle at your disposal. For OMO wanabe, can take that into consideration. As for earning between 1/2 or full shift, its up to individual's earning capability. 1/2 shift driving can give more quality personal or family time which full shift can't.

Drive Smart? not really, OBK that time, see how smart you want to be, I would prefer to say, Mental strength and Luck, tho smart do play a significant part -
The lowest rental rate for a private car is $75 (Gst not included)/day, and if you want to have premium insurance coverage, you hv to pay more.
If you are taking Taxis on OMO with a need to send wife or childrens to both work, school and leisure, it is actually quite worthly
