Hi Zero 5,

I have more or less read thru the forum and I really appreciate you guys setting up this particular forum for taxi driver. It is very informative for ppl like us whom are new to the taxi trade.

Results will only be out next week so I will be joining this trade only If I pass the test.

I am staying just outside CBD area (near SGH) so I guess it is definitely helpful for me in terms of income if I work as a taxi driver.

As for OMO or relief, I guess it depends on whether I can find relief around my estate. If not then perhaps I need to hire one from one of the taxi companies. Also, I need to weigh the pros and cons being a hirer.

rgds,

Yesterday had a busy day.
went down to CDG and Transcab to enquire on rental rates and benefits. Can tell the difference between these two companies. The former operates like a govt stat board; efficient and computerized. The latter located in “kampong” defu is quite messy and disorientated.

One offers hirer list thru computerize print out. The other have to do a manual search. This is internet age lah…computerize it lah!

anyway looked thru their various schemes and kampong style company offers better rebates and this will mean lower rentals.

witness a TD throw key and the kampong officer ask for reason. TD says wah lau I paid my rental promptly and yet debt collector come to my house to collect rental. he looked unhappy and agitated. he insists that the cs officer enter the reason into the computer.

Also, senior drivers there told me that 2.0L version better coz CNG tank bigger and can last longer vs the 1.8L version.
so, I sign up for a new 2.0L wish…haave to wait 3 to 4 weeks. No obligation deal; if i dun take up the offer when available, they will then put me back into the queue. anyway have to sign a one year contract but then penalty for earlier return is only $300. That to me is a small sum to pay for breaching the contract.
