Yeah thanks I read that. Very useful.
I also agree with komade, 11-7 isn't really a problem,
especially those with some experience.
Anyway the hirer has asked for $20 and I figure with diesel it
can come up to 35-40.
But $20 for 11-7pm and only from Mon to Thurs, after careful
consideration, I've decided to forgo this offer.
My reasons:
1) Why this hour? From the thread Quickpick showed, it's clear
the hirer is trying to save on season parking of $90 a month.
2) Why only Mon to Thurs and not offer Friday? If Friday was
included, I would probably take it up. Yeah sure, he has rental to
pay and maybe needs to earn a bit more for himself and family etc
etc, but he's carefully chosen timings that in any case, he can't
or won't be driving as an OMO. And he wants to maximise this to the
fullest, and where possible offer only crumbs.
3) As a night driver, in any case I almost never ever drive
until the wee hours on weekdays. Usually close shop around 1-2 am,
even earlier if my first few midnight end up near my home. (Once
you come within a whiff of home, become lembik already and will
find all sorts of excuse to go home, watch TV, drink coffee or surf
the net) But with this scenario, it means that goes out of the
window and I must drive until at least 3am and then if I want to
rest, stay awake until 5am for any advance job (5-6am) and die die
must find 1 between 6-7am.
4) In other words, I will still be working 7-8 hours like I do
on weekday nights now, but will surely earn less or be pressured to
hunt for pax. Is that worth it, compared to working from say 6-7pm
to 1 or 2 am and pay $30-40 more in rent and diesel?
For these reasons, I think I must reject the offer, unless the
timing comes down to 10pm. In any case the hirer by offering this
clearly shows he's very calculative and I don't like people who
calculate every damn thing.
Thanks for the answers, it has really assisted me in my
decision.
