Hi all fellow TD Bro's, I'm a new TD started to drive night shift yesterday. Happily started my shift at 4pm with my GPS with all the confidence, but end up OBK x 100. GPS black-out after 2 hours of using, and have to be lead by pax all the way after that. Some say they know the way (Most probably hard-up for taxi going to ulu places), but end up circling to no where, and nasty words follows.... Those don't know the way I cannot pick, end up by 12 am only cover rental and fuel. Drunkard are worst after midnight, verbally abused twice, but just kept quiet. Told myself cannot work for nothing,so die die drove another 2 hours, end day, made $30 after cost. Legs numb, headache, but still have to carry on. To me, there's only one word to describe taxi driving, "Xiong".

welcome on board... it takes awhile to get the hang of it...

Bro I really feel for you like you i am also a new Taxi driver being driving day shift for 3 months plus dont worry every day is not "day 1" things improve , remeber grow thick skin ignore what passanger say , keep your focus , please invest in a good GPS , i am using GPS for last 3 months never miss a day 12 hours a day , GPS gives you a good idea of what way to go and help you at the last leg of your journey espically in town. remember you are out there to make money and a living it takes time to reach higher income level initially you will make like S$ 50 to 60 it will improve hang in there

Hi bro, thanks for sharing. Yesterday when I reached home, I really don't know to laugh or cry at myself. $30 for 12 hours of work. I bought the Garmin 2565, today then I found out it went off because I did not connect the charger properly into the cigarette lighter. Today with full assistance of the GPS, I managed to make $70 after deducting all the cost. However, after 12am, I became a wonder ghost and decided to call it a day at 1am. Once again thanks for your encouragement.

Sotongking73 SG

gd luck~~~~

Thanks!

Sotongking73 SG

did you have a chagrer for the GPS? if not solely run on battery will not last longner than 2hrs unless you on it when U need to use it

get to make some night kakis who drove night, so any difficult situation U can call for help, cos not picking up a pax when you do not know the place, you will not learn much route or take a very long time to learn(maybe by then give up liao due to taking)

So PM some old bird in this forum see they willing to guide you, like this you will survive and start making enough for your living, if happen drive day can call me, will PM you my H/P number

Yes, I do have the charger, I found out today that it went off due my incorrect way of connecting it to the car.

Night kakis? I think everyone will be busy to pick up the phone, and most of the time, those cars and passengers can't wait for me to move off ASAP, horn here highlight there......

Thanks for offering your help.

Sotongking73 SG

Sotong ar , so u start driving today , and expecting the GPS to help you , and in the end , the GPS sent you holland ? LOL

Nevermind lar , trust me , u learnt alot more once your GPS zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Actually it's my own stupidity that sent my to Holland, I didn't connect the charger correctly. When GPS ZzzzZzz, I also ZzZZzzzzzzz.....

where got hiong? slow n steady win the race bro~~~~

Sotongking73 SG

Understandable, especially for newbie who never even drive much on singapore road before, it can be quite xiong, those who had done delivery or own a car, should not be much of a problem.

On the other hand, every job begining also xiong, like when I started as driving casket cum picking up dead body, first time see an accident smashed dead body, fainted. End up I go A and E, but slowly, now, see hand pick hand, see leg pick leg also no problem, then later somemore can jio colleague go eat Pig organ soup.

I also believe is not the driving problem, but more on the first encounter with paxs, that makes one nervous and blur blur. After all, most TD came from Working class, most are not the front line staff with hv direct contact with customers, now as TD, suddenly you come face to face with paxs, alone and no one to consult..but take it easy, it part and parcel of the learning journey.

Got one friend of mine just drive one day only, give up liao drive until face green green, anxious diarrhea few times

I also drive until face green green, plus eyes red red.

I agree with some, why start night driving as newbies?

Those night lau gui no sweat 1, close 1 eye also know how to zoom in, zoom out....and night passengers are worst than day passengers, correct me if I'm wrong..

nite pax better always say faster way or uncle later wake me up.........

then sometimes got freebies or free show..........

Sotongking73 SG

Yes, not all can drive, without any perks, it can be a total change if you just come out of working, but then, in return, you got freedom and a chance to see the public more.

Last time, as a worker, I only knows how to go into assembling lines, stand there for hours, then waiting for break, then see got overtime or not, then wait for paid day, go home eat and sleep, as TD, life seem to know more things, more news, more educated, more information and so on, and also can see chio bu

I used to be in retail for some years, so handling sober passenger is not a problem for me, it the unsureness about route, unforseen traffic conditon, and very impatient road drivers that makes me nervous. I got horn and higbeam by SMRT Epica, Transcab Wish agressively, they don't seams to ever give way to sonata like me, even some other sonata also wants to eat me up. With my current skill, see chio bu also cannot stand.

Sotongking73 SG
