And prepare urself to 24 hours shift rotation .And work under a maybe Philipino Senior Dealer .And worked witna group of China girl .And eat with a group of...

Poolman SG

Oh i see ..... u signed up the Prime ?

Sorry bro , i am not criticising directly at you .

U lost big time , the $5000 u lost big time sia bro .

It's ok la .

Money can make back .

So it's not the salary that is taking it's toll , it's the operating cost .

Only if u are here earlier , u will have plenty of opinions about OMO-ing a petrol taxi .

I guessed u are driving a 7-seater Honda Freed ? Just wild guess , i am always good at making wild guesses .

U shouldn't have throw back to them .

7-seater must drive like a 7-seater driver , 7-seater bookings and 7-seater timings .

I will be a richer driver if i am a 7-seater driver .

Of course with a walkie .

Poolman SG

To be a 7-seater driver ..... 1st calibre must be experience .

7-seater cannot sweep on the road , must have jobs to cover for the cost of running for petrol .

If 7-seater and day shift 6am to 8pm , die cock stand .

7-seater must work at night .

Imagine Poolman has got a 7-seater , and making trips to service SATS jobs ?

Imagine , people take 4 paxs , i take 7 paxes ?

4 paxes good one $52 , imagine 2 times of $52 ?

Poolman SG

But bizarre , if $100 CNG Wish hirers can tahan OMO , after less $73 also , a $73 Petrol taxi cannot tahan ?

CNG and petrol

Base on 400km travell by petrol , $71 on petrol

Base on 400km travelled by CNG , @$1.04 per litre , about $41.60 .

Per day F-15 earn less $30 .

Maximum $900 per month differences .

If Mr Cheong my friend can earn $4000+ a month OMO a Wish , minus $900 , F-15 should be earning more or less between $2500-$3100 as OMO .

Difference it's the standard set , Mr Cheong is a out of the world driver .

Just my 3 cents .......

Poolman SG

I employ myself to work as a taxi driver .

I am discipline cos i need to report to myself .

At the end of the day , it's myself who give me salary .

At the end of the year , then myself will give me a appraisal base on attitude , commitments and desire .

This is my definition of employment of a cabby . Simple theories .

If u are good , u are good .

No excuse .

komade SG

For me after working 4 mths as a cabbie, im so used to being a

daily paid worker that i cant think of going back to a regular job

unless it pays me 3k per mth. Used to work at A*di cars last time

paid me 1.4k per mth after cpf left 1.1k+ nia F la how to survive man.

Now how much i earn is how much i want to ciong n grab like fri/sat

i always set myself 400 as a goal i go get it. Nowadays in Sg 1.5k

with family really cannot survive lar, 2k olredi cmi liao. 3k is the min now

veri soon in another 10yrs i can forsee 4k as the min......

riskman SG

I would say different person got different lifestyle of expenses. Example, i'm holding a job close to 2k. Driving part-time thurs, fri & sat. Earn abt 1k-1.2 per month. I prefer to hold on the day job and siong on the weekends driving because of the CPF. Like what Pool have said, unless you have have massive outstanding on your HDB mortage. 300k plus for 30yrs man !!! Same like Pool, need to pay monthly insurance for my daugther and planning for a second child in the coming years. Driving part-time, this is where the cash will come handy for me. Going to be a siong siong life for me the next 30 yrs. Hopfully my engine and last that long. Hahaha... But end of the day, to see my children grow up and be a useful person for the society. I will be very happy liao

Touch wood, if i gotten retrench, i will still search for a day job and continue driving part-time unless i die cock stand, no one wants to employ me then full time driving lor.

That's why i say, different person got different needs in life.

ALN SG

if FT taxi cannot earn 3K, i wd quit… waste of time and health…

if Ft taxi 3K versus job $2.5K, i choose job… maybe plus PT taxi…

2 jobs better than 1… best of both worlds… haha

taxi always can come back…. job harder to find….

Bro , me 40-yr-old , O levels ..... can get $2500 basic salary ?

My cabby's friend Ah Tan , his son degree holder , working for HSBC , starting pay $1600 , confirm liao $1800 , knnbccb degree holder $1800 ?????

Then those Poly student what pay ?

Then those ITE type what starting pay ?

Those O levels leh ?

Those N levels worst ?

Those who think working can fetch $2000 , u'll be consider lucky .

Nope , i am staying on as a cabby for tat $3000

If degree holder only got paid $1800 , i conceded i am just not good enough .

Poolman SG

If u buay song , retrench me lor ......

Aiyo , forgot , taxi drivers can never get retrench one .

We only accept retrenched workers .

Poolman SG

Pls stay away from taxi driving if u kept thinking negatively about driving a cab .

If u don't succeed in taxi driving , u don't succeed anywhere .

FT SG

Poolman u r so right, me NTC-3 nv complete now working 10hrs most 12hrs i nv count per mth but i get 120 on week day,fri n sat 200, sunday if tired work a few hrs cover rent. How can i ever find a job like this? Some more very relax no nid rush, happy rest then start again. No boss to report no need punch card.

But (no offence to anyone) how some taxi can get tow i don't understand, may like what you say we need self-discipline. End of the day we count money i oso cant remember how hard liao.
