saturdays are nothing as compared to weekdays... :)
start slow and steady will do, f care the permanent hirers... :)
Always remember that the cake is too big for everyone to eat, how many pax can you ferry per day?
Yeah the cake is too big for everyone, but newbies will be left with crumbs!

salary now $1600.
after employer contribution, you get $1856.
take home pay = $1280
cpf contribution = $576if you drive taxi , lets say for example $3000
just be discipline enough to put aside $576 into cpf
your take hom pay is $2424…
pay higher than your delivery job
but to earn 3k you have to drive 7 days a week.worth or not … you decide
hee. you post this. someone not happy. XD
$3000 for 30 days, per day is 100 nett, after everything.
You be main hirer. Rental let's say $116. Diesel is $60.
$116 + $60 + $100 = $276 gross.
Achievable though.
Dont forget we dint include taxi downtime, breakdown...etc.
Wont be rich though, or go hungry...it's definitely a decent job if you dont expect much from a demanding boss or want higher increment.
Originally posted by decent02:wow lan… your nick Elginang or England ???
if England … go home liao laaaa
of course I am referring to 1 shift
$100 a day driving one shift if cannot achieve
then can forget about being a TD.anyway driving taxi is still much better than a delivery man
wa dont say me until like that leh. you sound so violent. for me, driving for 6 months only once a week for 18 hours damn song.
$100 nett a day drive for 2 shifts damn song lo.
$3000 nett where to find this kind of job. be hirer, dont need to get f by boss...
Aiyo, if money must count until like that, do what job also jin jiak lut 1 la.....
If mid life crisis liao, just do whatever you feel happy lor.....

That's why 2 shifts easier to hit target mah. 1 shift very tong ku leh.

Originally posted by decent02:
another kuku reply from you. of course 2 shifts easier to reach target but you need to pay double the rental. and also drives longer... For beginners, test water using 1 shift first and be a relief.
Where got kuku reply. U go think. Ppl can hit 7k per month just driving as td. Of course my answer compared to that big cannon fairy answer, which one is more logical. For 3k per month 30 days dont even need to see boss attitude. Where to find.
actually alot of newbies earn big bucks doing OMO, cos they are full of energy and can chiong. so doing 2 shifts and seeing the money coming in is not a problem for them. Its when they fall sick after a few months and seeing their hard earned money drained away to pay the rental then they will think of a long term solution like finding a relieve. I think alot of drivers here been thru that already. i got one kaki drive omo for a year already. die die dowan to find relieve, fell sick and lay at home for 1 month. $106 x 30 days = $3180 deduct from savings to pay rental. Not to mention no income for that month also.
For OMO easier to count. Earn less? Nvm got a car at your disposal. With the current price of COE. Can you own a car if you only earn $3K?

Quite true
otherwise unless u really drive to past time, make $50-$100 close shop.
i know of such people. They can't partner with relief, like OTOT. Car always drive on busy mode. Morning peak drive for cost. Night for profit. 1000hrs - 1700hrs, lobo time

1 mth ???
You should have advised him to throw key, after 1 mth than register again mah, nowadays waiting time not long
or alternatively find super relief ...
Originally posted by bowah:Earning in TD fluctuate differently, today u may earn net $100, tomorrow can be $120 and so on..other day, you might throw rental or not feeling well, then lost some income.
To work or to drive taxis is up to individual to decide, working got their own benefit beside lower income than taxi driving, the likes of medical, leaves, bonuses, overtime, promotion, training, employer’s CPF contribution and so on. It also allow one to have more time with family and other social life.
Taxi driving, most of us know the main feeling is freedom, own time own target, no boss, no strict timing and discipline protocol to follow, so if one likes to be on his own, freedom to roam and with no pressure from the top, then Taxi driving is good.
In life, all these are opportunities given to us, it is therefore, your decision in life to make the decision and take the opportunites you think suit your way of living and behavorial, and that no matter which one you choose, you have to work and stress it out.
But as a Taxi drivers…do you recommend your friend or relatives to be one?
I can tell you, the day you wake up in the morning.....
No more rental in your mind.....
Than confirm, chop, ä½ æˆ�功了!!!.....
