Newbies for Merc ? Can .....

Be slave for taxi company for sometime of the month , just enuf to pay rental , no salary , invest , can .

Invest as in sweep customers on street , buld up your own customers base , throw name cards .

Join any Limousine groups , any people that call you need a cab , u just dispose out on walkie and earn commission if you cannot make it for them .

If drive Merc , like sweeping and OMO ?

Steam lar knn .

I sweep , $45 rental , u sweep start engine $127 .

I need 2 hours rental up , u need 6 hours if boom town .

If he wants, see merc good and nice, so be it, let him be, like in army, we also go thru the hard time first, BMT, then the relax part later, maybe such logic apply to him.

Oh Bro, cool lah, your ego is too high at time.

Oh yes, you are right, actually I was going to post it, taxi driver wear armani also said faked one.

I am saying/referring to private people life, not taxi driver lah,

As I said, TD in singapore are look upon at time, in it lowest form, not much different from delivery pizza guy, because the govt breed disparity of the rich and poor too far into elite and the non elite group. But nevermind brother, if people look us no up, we must look ourselves up, if people look us no up and we also look at ourselve no up, then cham liao.

Ego ? many people know me will tell you me i dun have strong ego like you say lar .

That is the general public of seeing taxi in Singapore .

Its something we cannot hide the facts .

komade SG

I dunno Freemanisa throw back Merc , i dun want to know .

bowah SG

Maybe many people bluff you, respect you too high, so never tell you your weak point, ego is good you know, but overly can be harmful at time, but chief, take it easy hor, forum only, knn if meet up with you, argue until the cow come home also cannot finish, anyway, any outing or buffet or not leh?? so itchy to join and get to know you all

I started dring Merz taxi from SMRT one year ago with NO taxi experience and I am still driving today.

I started off as Hirer driving full day and now has a relief.

Points mentioned by others joining group I do not know cos I did not join any group.

Just to let you know , U can start to drive a Merz Taxi as new.

NO WORRY

Your "No Worry" was u OMO , no worry ?

Or got relief liao them , no worry ?

Different you know ?

TS said OMO MERC ....... if he intend to partner someone , different story altogether .

If OMO no worry , why find a relief ?

komade SG

Poolman SG

Even my buddy Mercabs also throw back his Merc and became a relief himself .

So if TS are asking should he be OMOing a Merc ?

Freemanisa Merc for CDG also quit in 2 weeks .

Mercabs quitted as hirer and went on became a relief .

Sillyegg ..... quit in one month .

Their internal story on why they quit , i dun want to know .

Manumatica also quit Silver Merc recently ......

I dun need to be a Merc cabby for obvious reasons .

Now my rental $50 , 3pm should be driving .

Now 4.10pm i still online .

Drive Merc , can ? Hahahahahah

Mercabs SG

I dun remember how many had joined Reds , which has got 8000 over cabbies .

I really dun want to know why 8000 drivers want to join a privately owned taxi company .

You dun want to know ?

Take away the generous monthly incentive on the 10th, and see why 8000 drivers will quit.

Haha !

Mercedes cab..... no longer special....

Driven (Mercs) for about 7yrs..... Only quitted TD in Sep.

Sick of driving.... lol.

Still have many many friends in the limousine cabs (in Chryslers, Mercedes, Maxis) & Pte Limo.

SMRT Limos are a OLD FLEET liao, very thirsty on diesel. No news that they will replace it with new ones.... Likely they will concentrate on their Black Chryslers.

Pray hard that your cab don't break down..... If they out-sourced it out to other workshops, you may have a "Long, No Pay Leave Break".

At the end of the year, whichever taxis companies you go to will have a LONG WAITING LIST.... go back to them after CNY...

Wah,

this forum damm hot man! so many warm replies. friendly, spontaneous and not sarcastic esp to newbies like us.

as I am looking at OMO which means driving at least 12 hours a day, comfort is my top priority. As such, I not looking at the Toyota Crown which involves changing of gear how many thousand times a day. My choice of Merc is, honestly, out of vanity too.

Most companies apart from SMRT don't offer Merc to new cabbies and I wonder if that is really for their own good. Being newbie, most likely, I would have to start with "sweeping", haha, learning your lingo now. So maybe the startup will be alot more uncomfortable comparing with a $80 plus rental.

Infact, I have more or less make up my mind but just trying to give myself better justification in my decision.

I was thinking of just getting my Sonata and drive for 6 months first before getting the limo from CDG.

Reason I not getting SMRT limo now is mainly due to the age of the cab, minimum 6 years old and that they do not have NETS, only VISA and of course the call network. Also read abt their "so many return taxi" and their slow deposit return worry me too.

As stated in the earlier post (by other forumers)...

Try to join a Mercedes-Limos related group....For eg. Rainbow, U2, Royal (more on Chryslers). Can pm Komade for more information...

It will help you to assist in generating more revenues, traffic informations and pick & go locations.

Also, try to learn how to Q limos at the Airport (Terminal 2 holding area). The different from the normal cab is that you can have limousine jobs like departure, arrival, disposal job & event jobs.

If you keep sweeping the floor... go drive a normal cab... (cheaper rental, higher revenue). No offence to our normal-cabs forumers in the forum... just trying to give you a better picture on the different between the cabs.

Haha !

that's right ? why should one newbie to drive a merc when one company can offer more ? Thanks to epica takers . . . . no need to elaborate more .

Poolman SG

Googled ?

You can Pte-msg (nick) Komade, he will furnish you with information. He is also driving a Mercedes Cab (with Cumfuk).

These groups are private (socially) formed and carry a walky talkie amongst the members.

Hence, jobs, traffic info are broadcast into the "group channel".

Bingjames SG

What do these group do? is it like the company's calling network?

someone told me only know how to sit down together and drink coffee.

Poolman SG

i didn’t know limousine group take in new bird ?
