i have already made myself clear , there is no pt talking abt
income here simply becos this bizness is cyclical , its not
something that will be there forever. u wanna talk abt tourist?
when the economies are going downturn , i wonder where your kin gu
is going find all the tourist to pick , LPPL u also got to take
street.
Your 'do u bother questions' doesnt make sense to me , im saying
that we should refrain from posting abt earnings coz i have not
seen any particular group of people in the same line , coming
together into a forum and talking abt their day to day
earnings.
From your post , i can tell that you do not derive your income
from just ferrying passengers.
well should i post abt hotel ding dong? gu ni hoon? hourly
charter? ohh and how abt shum? do u do that? if u do of coz can hit
380 , surely no problem la
i can post a long long list of wad you limo guys do but sorry im
not one to pichak lobang.
I start driving at the height of financial crisis. Though it may
not be as bad as SARS, I am earning only $12-20 sometime during
morning peak hours unlike some of the normal cabs can still earn
better because pple siam my cab.
In every period, there bound to have good and bad times. BUT one
thing for sure, there are money to be earned in good and bad times.
U adjust. I made adjustment until I begin to adopt the timing of
12pm to 2am. Some TD ask "wad u siao", can earn meh?
Well it work for me.
The more fluid you are, the more likely that u can survive when
bad times come. It will be bad, but one thing I know, it would be
worst if one cannot adjust when bad time comes simply because they
cannot adjust and adapt.
A saying goes, there are always money to be made, it is just how
u make them. When bad time comes, I ask a different set of
questions to myself other than the one listed.
Like I say, my final secret is I have Jesus, do U? He is my
safest insurance. Sometimes the day is bad, I dunno how, but by the
end of the shift, everything falls in place.
U dun have to believe. Judging from wad u said, most
likely you r a sceptic. But thats just me.
O I forgot to mention since u said it. I do have other ways to
generate income. Such as hourly booking and airport transfer. When
I have that, then I can hit the higher end of the spectrum.
However, hourly booking and A/P transfer for me happen only once in
a while cause I am not as lao jiao as other MPV driver who may have
it more often especially the Maxi.
However, being said that, like I said in the end it is how u ask
questions and sell urself. Normal cab also can hourly booking if u
lucky enough.
TD is the only obstacle to their earnings MOST of the time.
But $300 should not be too high a mountain to climb for OMO. If
I have relief, $250 is enough for me and I can still earn the same
as OMO cause my cost is half.
