I think the TD must have miscalculated the timing he plied on
the road. Actually is very easy to arrive with the take in for the
day and then by the month.
Assuming the day shift from 5 am to 5pm (12
hours) with removing 1 hour for toilet/foods break (that is
bared minimum) 11 hours and you also need to include the handing
over taxi before 5pm plus filling up the diesel (app 1
hour) for queing and filling.
Which left with 10 hours. Look guys whether you drive day or
night there is certain hours is deemed quiet (meaning less pax and
more taxi around) plus/minus 2 hours.
So the active hours for driving taxi should be 8 hours. Now we
know there are someday or at time you're exceptional lucky but
that cannot be taken as regular earning and can only be deemed as
bonus because everyday we're on the road and not everyday is
Sunday.
So on an average of 8 hours drive I somehow can accept between
$220 to $240 gross earning. Let base on the high gross $240 which
is somehow extended already (i think) and we take away the shift
rental $52 for comfort sonata plus diesel easily $40 clocking for
averaging 230 km now that the per litre rate is $1.14.
So if we minus all the fixed expenses $52+$40 = $92.00 and minus
$240 we're left with $148 earning. Basing on the guy 6 day
drive which is 24 days a month and that is $148x24 =
$3552. This amount doesn't include his MC and annual leave,
CPF contribution. Guys. what do you think?
Correct lor ..... i told people i earn $3000 , they all
