I guess this is the topic which many of us has been thinking
before jumping into the wheels. I've drove a cab before during the
2003 SARS recession and my 6 months of driving really make me a
better person.
Those who are driving will tell you, i will give out my taxi if
i'm being offered a $2500 job while those who are working with
higher pay will think of giving up his job and jump into taxi.
My feel on driving
OMO
1 When you start your engine in the morning, you will have to
think how fast can you cover your rental. If you start at 6am, on a
goodday by noon your cost shd be covered
2 Total stress out after 0930am where the streets is empty and
you only have hotel,hospital,zoo,birdpark etc to cover
Relief
The best option for beginers, fast way to cover cost and start
whacking to make more income. The plus side is, you will have
enough rest and free time after your driving shift.
Cons- You must have a good hirer, i personally kena 1 that
always ask me to pay him in advance cos he need $$$. He smoke in
his cab and the whole car aircon system smells.
If you are willing to give up your usual sat,sun spending time
chilling up at home, shopping,dinning or quality time with your
family. Than i guess you are mentally prepared to cheong all the
way
I'm currently planing to give up my 5 days work week with a
salary of $4500 and 21 days leave with medical benifits to be on
the road.
You may ask me why, my objective is to spend more time with my
son who is currently at P3. So i should be on a OMO ops with
different driving patterns.
6am - 12 noon, 1700hrs till i make my profit.
My current tots will be which company should i join?? & shd
be opt for a limo or a sonata which doesnt require a tie in
period.
So whatever your tots is, goodluck and work your way up in
whatever choice you have opt for. Life is short - Just do it
