new driver noob in road names

mangodew SG

hi as i am new to this, road name is a horror to me. what do you guys do when u are like me? every road also dunno how to go jialat lei.

Poolman SG

Then how to take SATS jobs ?

6 months u report to me .

3 months not enuf .

Poolman SG

Mango , pls ...start from scratch .

Step by step , pls forget about Lake View and SATS .

U are not qualify to do such job , not at the moment .

Don't play play .

Poolman SG

Pls go and understanding S'pore unique ERP system , those taxi fares and surcharges , then buildings , embassies , shopping centers , cinemas , night clubs , party zones ......

So many things to learn .

And PR with commuters ,

And all add up to how to maximised your income .

Pls remain focus on learn curve mention above , be less distracted by Lake View and SATS .

An inexperience cabby , to do SATS jobs , without knowing routes , he will fail , in terms of monetary rewards from such trips .

wee's SG

btw CIC pool, if i can manage 4x tampines same time as you, not i sat sat lo, its u lao kui liao...

some many yrs of experience diff, cannot hao siao...

Poolman SG

Pls read Wee's reply ..... am i bluffing about an inexperience drive dealing with SATS trips ?

Not easy one , believe those who said .

wee's SG

can try la actually. just skin thick thick ask them bring you go. they even can bring you go short cut. can also learn some new routes.

BUT, don't expect to earn as much as others can liao. take it as learning routes with some income, shouldn't be a problem.

(the above sentence only apply to easy going sats staff)

i myself got personal reason as i can't take SQ staff, so if coordinator ask me go T2 or T3 pick SQ staff, i straight sat no, its not nice, so i opt out.

komade SG

Poolman SG

The faster u learn those routes , the faster u can despatch the pax there , and faster u can find another connections .

Simple theory ?

If u dunno where is where , how to go , shorter way to go , cheapest way with ERP etc .....

Then how ?

I was a outdoor salesman , running the whole of Singapore , and it also take me almost 1 year to know the in and out of Singapore after driving taxis .

I dun even want to think about learning Tuas .

Til i am ready , 85% of Singapore learnt , then i touched Tuas .

awhile bfore i say the route to the pax veri long nber touch despatch liao

need to consult on our Tuas "human" GPS liao :P

Jho SG

I started as a blur sotong too even i'm very familiar with roads and short cuts. Somehow you will get strange road name which require you to pause and think. Those days, i just proceed to drive and call my sifu (cabbie) this is how i learn. Today if i kena hougang, Jurong or tuas will still panic cos i know how to go there but must find the different streets etc

You can check street directory before pressing meter, customer will understand. Do a bit of PR with them most can accept.

If you wanna train to be tuas expert, go orchard hotel, every morning(weekdays) from 0730-0830 alot of ang moh will go there to work. out of 10 customer 9 hitting to west, from there go into Jurong hdb estate and bring passenger down to town:)

mangodew SG

hee got it. will try sweeping first

depends on whether day or night shift. For night shift , tuas should be the last area in singapore to learn unless u wanna take booking from there. otherwise dont bother wasting your brain juice and also its not easy !!

FT SG

that's my biggest toy...TUAS....tks for telling me at ICC just now, next time 10.30 at CCK i also cheong tuas...

Tio Call Liao SG

bro 1030 ka ka ki but u muz know where to anchor. but dun expect IVT to ring fast, gotta be patient. All depends on your style. once i enter this area , i must go out with someone even if it means i sleep , smoke , talk cock on the phone.

btw i sleep on the job most of the time. ping! then i will wake up and work. no ping just sleep. but depends where also la. i dun sleep in town area for sure.
