Hi all,

Intend to prowl the streets for a living soon. Can any Bros advise

which companies has the best deal as a hirer ? Union,Premier

or Comfort ? Sorts of new birdie in this trade but had to make a

living.

Poolman SG

What ? Just got VL become hirer ?

Best deal ?

Current trend , TransCab Wish ? Still is la i think .

if u got any TransCab hirer friend refer u in , u take $1000 , he take $1000 .

OMO mthly $716 , down from previous $766 . With relief -$50 .

Non Claim Bonus $660 or $600 , this one i not sure .

4 free rental days about $400 .

I calculate all : $8592 + 600 + 400 +2000 = $11,392 for one year

Where to find ?

Go and find one taxi company that match this offer ......

Must be Auto Car . And only 1 year contract .

Poolman SG

tat day i told Ken .... the diff between Ken and me , it's he start the month $716 richer than me .

For me , that is 6 day nett salary , sometimes 8 days .... he can shake leg at home and handicap me for 8 days at least . And still beat me .

Poolman SG

Just my 3 cents thoughts .

Poolman SG

Some will analyse Comfort's strength , as in plenty of calls ...

i was thinking , and my analysis ..... $11,392 ..... divided by 12 months , $949 , meaning if one bookings nett profit is $3 , that will be 316 bookings they need to provide u to match the $949 , consistently every month , for 12 months .

316 bookings a month ? That is $3.50 booking , $2.50 not included .

316 piece of bookings ????

It may need some analysis on this .

Poolman SG

Cashless .... i do have credit card facilities ... not much user , i dunno , i never have any major Nets paying mode problems ....

Nets ? No ? Then i pay cash ....

They chose brands of vehicle over payments modes .

Morning pax never go atm titi money , night paxes already prepared cash for taxis .

That's why i never had problems .

Poolman SG

About fuel consumption ...

U calculatye diesel as mileage x cents per litre .

eg , 300km , u roughly paid like 300 x $0.88 cents per litre = $26.40 for Sonata , Crown bigger cc , will consume like 300 x 0.95 cents per litre

If Esso , another similiar calculation .

If CNG , it's 270km , roughly $21 . Sometimes 250km .

For petrol comsumption is 1km = $0.13

xtra 10km $1.30

xtra 20km $2.60

xtra 30km $3.90

So $21 plus $3.90 plus $5 ( unknown ) = $29.90 per 300km average calulcation .

Poolman SG

many applicants calculate like $11,392 divided by 365 , it's like taxi company subsidised $31.21 for u on daily basis .

$100 rental - $31.21 , nett rental $68.78 .

This calculation also can ..... more simple format .

Then u go and survey what's the rest can match .....

I am glad they stop at 2000 !

Even if 3000 , will still have more applicants , than Wish is not any special liao , now it's special !

Poolman SG

for some old bird told me , it's like paying $100 rental , and company paid them free CNG everyday for a year !

ok , Hahahahah . oso can see it that way !!!

Poolman SG

becos of capacity issue , Crown will consume more fuel compare to a Sonata or Wish ... especially 4 years old crown , wear and tear .

Crown 3000cc , Wish 1800cc ..... well VVTI engine somemore .

VVTI , jam or no jam , fuel consumption same la .... that's why VVTI .

Sonata TurboDiesel if kena jam , fuel consumption slightly higher . Same to Magentis .

Skoda V6 and Azera V6 consumed the most fuel .

Merc 2200cc has got the lowest fuel consumption for any diesel powered vehicle .

Poolman SG

if TS stay around western part of Singapore , and going OMO , he can really consider a Red Wish , If he stay Tampines and wanted a relief , forget Red Wish !

Teolk SG

for some old bird told me , it's like paying $100 rental , and company paid them free CNG everyday for a year !

ok , Hahahahah . oso can see it that way !!!

I like this part bro,very creative

Poolman SG

got one CallMan also looking for taxi company , i said all the same stuff .

I ended by saying : " i'll drive for whoever tat pay me more money ."

ALN SG

pool, call means more than $3.5… it means better out of town connections leh… and also during raining….

esp sat… knn empty taxi everywhere during peak…. ang moh in condo usually call…. that’s when i steam…. haha

0oRedStaRo0 SG

Thanks Poolman and all. Your info is of great help to any new

TVL holder searching for their dream boss. So red carrot is the

call ! Btw, believe as a hirer, I have free excess to my works

schedule. If I need more $$$, I will be on the streets longer.

That is my thought.

last time i thought the same , thought it generate more $$$ for me , but ........ i still trying to figure out why i earn more money with Wish than the booking Sonata .....

I asked a few friends , without calls , they were shocked that i earn $30-$40 extra compared to them ..... they were like 5-6 calls extra .

Maybe the tactic is different .

Poolman SG

My Tuas kaki ..... 6pm go Tuas ...... so many fellow rivals from the same company , 1 hour there ........ then kena one sympathy call to Jurong Point !

Sometimes i was wondering .....

Poolman SG

If not for that $11,000 , Comfort really rules , but .......

Poolman SG

I quit Comfort that time cos ... i thought they are just too much !

Suntec , they throw Tekka Market call to you !

At Shenton Way , so many calls , they throw you Marina South !!!!

At Tekka near Bugis , they throw you Plaza Singapura !!!

At Changi South , they throw you Goodrich at Changi North Cresent !!!

The most ridiculous , at JooKoon , they throw you NTU !!!

Then at Cairnhill , they throw you Far East Plaza .

Reject 3 times , suspend @! Hahahahahaha .

Poolman SG

I counted , 10 guarantee bookings daily for 365 days to match the $11,000 .
