2nd day, drive 5 hours, gross $133. That's very good what. 5 hours can earn around $60 without stressing yourself trying to find pax, sitting down long hours and driving, is a good way to start.

But I think no need to post your takings, because some ppl by seeing think, wah Tdriving so good ah, 5 hours earn 60, security or other jobs work 8-10 hours then only can see that amt. They don't realise what happens to the body, the lack of CPF, off days annual leave etc, they just look at the $ and say wow!

Don't worry abt earning less, there's always tomorrow and don't get too excited by earning extra on some days. There's always days where everything doesn't go right.

JoeRaj, thanks for the encouragement. I think I was lucky, and all the prayers worked. Individual fare was miserable, less than $8, but the connection was super, probably because it is the weekend.

Today, there was a stretch of 45 minutes with no pax. The results was miserable.

Actually, I am very dissapointed with my number of hours on the road. Hope to improve that one.

during my time as a sales person . i was sent to many course , mostly motivation course,

for all the time until it ends , not a single word of luck was mentioned .

luck as a whole . cannot be your motivation to start when on the road .

i was taught the meaning of A.S.K .

A stands for Aggressiveness . We have to from time to time , keep reminding ourself , are we on the aggressive in closing those deals ? Or are we hardworking enough to find propspect to close a deal ? Are we aggressive enough in.our winning mindset ?

mind u , i am not saying aggressiveness on fighting case . That one no lar.

Aggressive in progressing . mindset and winning mentallity.

Poolman SG

S stands for skills .

I said before , every profession . to succeed , one must be above skilful to be on top.

in taxi driving . we need driving skills , road sense skills , interacts skills . communications skills and man managing skills.

why man managing skills ? taxi is one person ? As in managing yourself .

got it ?

Poolman SG

K for knowledge .

Knowledge in almost everything.

No knowledge , hard lar knn .

Reliefdriver4u SG

Pool got A.S.K

I got A.R.S.E. for you

A - Accurate , pax wanna go pt. A, muz zhun zhun go there

R - Ruthless - no gib chance, when cannot pick means cannot pick !

S - Swift - Hands slow, legs slow earns no money !

E- Eager - Without eagerness to earn money, i think hand dun feel like starting engine

Poolman SG

to succeed in getting food on the table , setting of daily minimum target , for me no doubt about that . canot be compromise , prime objective . Hit target . Got hit it or not , lets discuss those options later , first few hours if u dun make it , u are just making it very difficult for yourself for the last few hours .

Hi StriveOn,

It will be better if u start a Thread (like what Khoon had been doing) so that the newbie can learn. (No obligation)

Ur content of each passenger is interesting (I also did it for the first month of my weekend driving but later stop) but need to last as long as Khoon, Ok.

Need to take note of the $$$ no to be exposed too much, keep to yourself will do.

If u tired of giving each Trip description, do selective one lah esp those memorable one. I believe u can do it.

加油加油加油

StriveOn SG

Poolman, Reliefdriver4u, thanks for ASK ARSE. Interesting.

StriveOn SG

Waah, your story motivates me. At least I am not alone.

Yesterday almost make wrong turn to go back into expressway. If turn wrong, will add maybe 15 to 20 mins to the route due to congestion.

So far lucky, dont have any major mishap yet, but it is just a matter of time before go wrong route.

Yesterday also got a family go Zoo, took 2 cabs. Got a left turn to go into PIE but my brain says behind got entry to PIE. After U-turn then realised. On the expressway, I went a bit faster, end up I reach 45 secs earlier than the other cab that took the correct entry into PIE. This stunt must stop, no good.

Day 1

T1. Harbor Front to Emerald Park. My maiden trip. Middle-aged Indonesian couple. Did not hear Emerald properly, thought it was Industrial Park. I mean they look like business people going to check on their factory. When at Indus Road, he kept telling me to go right. Had to cut through 2 lanes.

T2. Havelock to Queensway. Short trip. Two youngster.

T3. Queensway to Bukit Gombak. Young guy, tan skin with Tatoo on his chest. While in the cab, he spoke on the phone in Cantonese. On arrival, I communicated with him in Cantonese too.

T4. Bukit Batok to CCK North. Old lady, slow moving, but very nice.

T5. CCK Nth to Marina Square. $34.29 Wow!

T6. Raffles Tower to Centrepoint. Young lady, 20+. On arrival, asked for receipt. Make me nervous, kept thinking, did I do or say anything wrong to her? Uncle is new, don’t play me out.

T7. Centrepoint to ParkRoyal on Beach Road. 2 ang moh ladies.

T8. ParkRoyal to Balmoral. 2 Ang Moh Gentlemen. Need to help them find their destination.

OMG .... first we have khoon & a host of other blogs detailing their 1st days blah blah , now we have this... overkill.

Thanks for the wishes, and encouragement to start a blog.

But blogging is not my cup of tea.

I can write GP Essay style. But I dont have the passion to maintain a blog.

Khoon has great discipline to write. I also admire his determination.

Like I promise, I will write until 2 weeks into driving. Keeping records of each trip is tedious. I will stop after a few weeks, unless I want to study some Passenger patterns.

Already being advised not to mention the $. I was thinking my $ is so teruk, no harm to mention. Anyway will keep the info on $$ out.

Brudder BCL, 2 weeks only lah.

You, Lao Cheow finds it boring, but the Newbies love it.

Because I, newbie also read other people's routes.

2 weeks, I stop. Khoon is many levels higher than me, cannot follow.
