Hey thanks, but I stay in Bishan, so got 3 pumps nearby, but I
like your suggestion too.
The other day I saw 2 citycab at caltex newton pump full tank,
but I dont like to kaypo, but whats the difference, does caltex
offer something reasonable, I know will be more than CDG, but as
you say $5-6 dollars, not need to drive for these 'vampires', worth
considering.
I am thinking of AMK Blk 444 got taxi rental, daily basis, any
news on them, is there vehicles in 'reasonable condition' or what
advice can you give me, if I want to drive say 4-5 days a week in
the new year?
I think now i drive for my hirer boh wah, maybe now fare hike,
at least maybe earning can come back to 2 years ago, but no big
deal. I drive everyday, take 1 day off sometimes 2, he take sunday.
so far last year only dec 31, he give free rental, this year 3 day
he keep, plus every midyear he go Malaysia 4 day, i drive whole day
for him. Realy struggle because very hard for night driver to
change pattern into day. The sun come out my body lembik already.
So i wait see dec 31, he give free rent or not, plus
Christmas eve, chritsmas day and new year eve, i normally
wont drive, but i also panchan, he also celebrate and never drive,
so i still pay rent, but christmas i use the cab for transport.
But I think no matter what next year surely cannot drive 6 days
anymore, drive night shift no matter how much rest sometimes, your
body becomes lembik and you only can drive somedays for 5-6 hours,
even last Friday, I sleep alot to prepare for full swing, start
late somemore at 10pm, but drive until 12.30am, my body just cannot
seem to go on, so bo pian, must return cab. Sat I took off. Sunday
start drive at 7.30am rest at 4.30 to 6.30pm then re-start but by
10.30pm, still body cannot respond. Too bad tell him, only pay 1/2
rent for fri nite and sunday whole, rest otang,(cleared by
tuesday).
So far otang some time 1/2 day or full day rent, but i clear
within 2-3 days, max 4-5 days, he never say anything or show face.
Show face I surely say thank you find someone else relief hor. If I
only drive 4-5 days a week got no problem, it;s to help you for the
7 days, that make me sacrisfise and otang. So next year, definitely
must put to him. Plus diesel yes I pay $1.13 but I drive night,
seldom go and queue, you drive morning, start stop gear 1 gear 2
and go airport line up, I know my payment for diesel also covers
your trip, but this I can give and take, even though I know you
shake and shake the cab, max $6-7 only, so when I pay $39 for
300km, max you can pump is only $34-35. So when I drive more than
300km or less than 1/2 tank left, I will pump, the rest I let him
pump ( I think comfort still give hirer some rebate for diesel, not
sure, but I suspect), so if I drive 300km and pump only come
$33-35, he LPPL must keep quiet, he make noise, I quit.
But still, I think in the long run, I am suffering more and
thats why I wanna change.
