Dear all seniors,
Hi, Im new in this forum and need not to say im new soon to be a
TD once the LTA ask me to collect my TDVL. I have a problem
here, and would like to seek advise and guidance from you the
most experienced TDs. :)
I'm residing at Jalan Batu soon. I did browse through the
cabby.com.sg to look for hirer who is looking for relief over at
jalan Batu there and i cannot find someone staying near my area.
The only nearest is Geylang area but he is looking for Merc relief.
Another Hirer is driving Transcab wish red which i very padang on
the color i dont prefer to drive a red color car or cab.
I did browse through this forum and many advise not to drive as
hirer if really need of money or want to fetch wife mistres..blah
blah blah..:) But if i cannot get any hirer near my place would you
guys suggest especially im new to hirer a cab myself first then
drive for a few month then look for relief driver? But i also know
that looking for relief also sometime will get pain in the As*
ya.
Can any of you seniors advise me or do you think got any other
forum can get hirer who stay near Jalan Batu area which is near
Tanjong Rhu.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Danny Wong
hi bro morning, as an advise , now we hv two big taxis coy , the
blue n the red(comfort n transcabs) n other coy, well, maybe u 2day
drive a blue taxi now, but got terminate for no and unjustified
reason, join all other coy, but also cannot, in the end LL hv to
drive red colour taxi, and need to drive to support family, will u
say u pantang cannot drive? family or pantang importan? u can say u
pantang taking the first pax to woodland or pantang to fetch first
pax angmo but never say u pantang in any colour of taxis here,
cause the colours of taxi we can choose is limited. like wat we
chinese hv a said( 凡事留个后路给自己），if u really no choice nd to drive a
red cab, friend saw u and say"i thought u pantang red colour leh",
then u will be very malu, right? my own opinion is, driving a taxi
to support a family is no problem, if u r well discipline .save
some money and want to bring family out for holiday(short one,
europe must strike 4d then can) no problem, only bad thing is no
cpf, aws, leaves , mc ,etc but freedom u can off anytime u like
just pay half rental to the hirer, no nd to apply leave c boss
face.
secondly, u can try to look for hirer within 5km around yr
house, talk to him how u n him want to hand over the vehicle, u
sent him back and he sent u back, for me i find this is a waste of
time, as for me , i park the taxi at my relief house at teck whye
every morning, and walk back to my house at bukit batok which is
around 3.5km or 45min walk, is a good exercise , and evening she
park at my house and go back herself, good about this is no need to
wait here and there. or u can take a bus or taxi back, gv some
business to our fellow brother also.
Dun be omo when u r new in this line, u will be very stress.
ppl said drive taxi, drive only ma!!!easy lah, whose ever got
license can drive also, i know. knn, sorry when ever i heard ppl
say this, my ball boil, ask them come and drive for 1wk and try
then said. Driving a taxi u must look for cars infront and
behind u( cause bang , $2000 gone) if we are at fault , look for
pax, traffic light, lta, tp, buslane, cbd can stop cannot stop
etc.the stress we hv driving a taxi. I dun know u are in this
industry be4 or not( cause taxi is also a service line, like
retail, hotel , travel), we need to meet different ppl everyday, is
different from office work and othe trade. We meet different ppl
and different character everyday.For me be4 i drive taxi, i am in
the travel industry, i use to drive coach and bring those aunty and
uncle( pay little but want alot and complain alot) go malaysia and
thailand, so i will train and bulletproof now. i alway tell myself
this, the most F***pax i take, the most take me only 30mins then u
go, why must let a only 30min stupid pax and make my the next 12hrs
driving unhappy and anger, most important is affect my income also(
no mood to drive) and not fair for the next pax onboard yr taxi
cause he pay the fare also.Go and try yrself, dun only listen to
ppl said this can blar blar blar, that cannot blar blar blar,
different ppl got different character, whose know maybe he not suit
this line but u can, only u yrself know yrself better. Gv a try,
three month cannot. then change other line, atleast对得起自己.got try
be4, right bro? if u worry other taxi coy no call, join LV, we have
plenty of call, tiobo CSM (poolman)?My uncle , drive taxi also
bring up three children, 1phd , 1 honour and 1 stiil is nus, so dun
think bad of driving taxi.u will heard ppl said last time taxi
easy, now different, Ya, why last time ppl eat rice, we eat gold
now, i agree now got more driver and more cab now, but if u willing
to work hard, still can support a family( mark my word) not drive 2
hrs and sit 10hrs then tell me "paidan"(难赚)
sorry write too long liao, like love letter , paisai
Gd luck bro..
