Kin , u should just click " Reply & Quote " , like what u seen on top , it's much much easier for us to see ......

And u reply just below the quote ....

Poolman SG

i was surprised Kin does not have a standard working days .... unlike us , we have Mon-Fri routine , kin are like "heng ar today hirer gimme drive" , or "sway ar , hirer don't gimme drive tmr" like that .... why like that kin ?

Thougt u got fixed days to drive ?

caleb_chiang SG

Okay... I didn't get a calender for nothing.

ALN SG

me usually tue and Fri nite…

but cos hirer wed and sun nite also cant find relief…. so sometimes me wed and Fri… or Fri and sun…. change until he blur… haha…

scared he later sacked me…. haha

ALN SG

kin usually drives 2,4,6 day shift…. i think….

but ya sometime he sat am no taxi to drive… and sometime he mon got taxi to drive…. like me…. haha

kinwashi SG

aiya...gurus

You told me from day one...you must be smart, as a relief.

all hirers alway give pattern ones.

so me and my friend...negotiated for 7 days (day shift)...advantage the hirer no need to share benefit. with us..he can keep all for himself...both win win situation.

so he never tie us we never tie him.

so 7 days sometime i drove for three or four days or two or three days.

so very interesting...like what you said before...dun spent too much time on the taxi...free must go holiday...like recently you went for holiday. haha you need to pay penalty right... half rental.

so if i want to go holiday my friend will cover my shift, so no need super relief.

so if my hirer want to go holiday, we cover his shift.

so never liao chor...rental all there.

21/9 monday day shift sure eat grass. hopefully 5am-6am got a few penguins left over from nite shift. alvin dun eat all.

my plan - dun waste bullet. sat. chiong full 12 hours to cover monday as well. monday off better. sunday normal std, 5 hours only. cukup lah.

ALN SG

yeah, that sep weekends Fri nite good, sat day and nite ok, sun day and nite good….actually worth to be super relief…. can earn…. haha

ALN SG

oh kin, so u and ur friend together drive 7 day shift… ic ic… day shift easier to split cos more or less every day is similar …

nite shift a bit harder cos some nites are much worse than other nite… need some balancing…. e.g. the one who take Fri cannot take Sat nite liao… like 1,3,5,7… versus 2,4,6

So Hari Raya , very easy to chose Pax .... see malay just pick , no point getting a chinese or ang mor or indian and sent you to Orchard , malay during Hari Raya , dun go Orchard , they go house visiting , HDB to HDB .

Must judge .... If chinese flag , act blur .

No point getting a chinese pax from Jurong west to Cinesleisure for $16 .

Better stick around HDB , $10 , $10 , $10 , $10 picked is faster .

KCTK SG

no brainer leh, poolie. last year's hari raya i kena bt. panjang to pasir ris, straightaway next connection pasir ris to jurong west, jurong west to woodlands. knn $40 per hour easy. BUT the biggest problem is that they only start coming out after lunch. day shift only got about 3 hours of good business. morning all the hdb like ghost town cos all still sleeping after the eve's partying, ccb ah. tat's why holiday itself, i normally work just to cover costs niah. no point starting work early morning. better yet take off if eve's earnings can cover. me lazy one lah. drive happily without stress is what i like.

Poolman SG

Times has changed i guessed , malay drive more , more with cars , and rented vans , and most with the MRTs ?

I suggest u stick around the Malay orientated town , it's slightly better .

Town like Circuit Road , Bedok Reservoir , Bedok , Yishun , Wlands , a bit of Tampines .

Town like Bishan , Sembawang , CCK , very few Malays i would say . Only Teck Whye has got a bit left .

Even Jurong getting lesser malays , dunno why ?
