Actually, as a newbie, this forum and people here helped me a
lot in starting this job as a TD. Without information sharing from
the lao jiaos, I think many newbies will surrender key and find
other jobs.....
Chief Pool has helped me and gave me a lot of advise, take what
car, where to go, what time go where, can try where,
etc.....
I joined LV not so much of the calls, but for the info given by
other LV members, like where png, where got jam, etc....these are
critical, as our time is money. My good buddy told me waste money,
but maybe because he drive day, so he think that not useful for
him, I drive night, so damn useful for me.....also listen to the
guys crack jokes helps to relive some of the stress.....
Also, just the other day, FT pax jumped in my cab and say Cathay
Cineleisure... I mindblock a while, dunno is near Plaza Sing or
behind Mandarin Orchard.... I picked up talkie, ask for SOS and
members feed info almost immediately.... Ah Khoon still private me
asking me if I was joking..... temporary mindblock lah, if pax just
said Cineleisure, i know go where, add a Cathay, i think of the one
near Plaza Sing.....
Also, reading info here in the forum also kept me informed of
whats going on, how to handle pax in certain situations, etc. These
are valuable info that you dun need to long pia (bang wall) then
say oh, so its like this...... I had one pax tell me he want
go to Lor 40 there NTUC transfer money, then ask me can wait for
him or not, fetch him back to the coffeeshop where i picked him up
from, as I newbie, I sure will say OK, but reading about how pax
try to run fares, I told him cannot, I got to rush off, cannot
wait. So pay first then get off. Whether or not he will run, I dun
care, I finish my job, you pay the fare. This is what this forum
taught me.
