Hi all bros,
just gotten my tvdl, am now considering to start driving relief on top of my 9 to 6 job, have been actively lookin out but till now unable to decide which is schedule is best for me.
I have a target to earn 2.5k nett. Do you think by driving sat & sun (5am to 5pm) i can hit this target? Or do i need to add in a couple of weekdays nite driving to add up?
If not i might want to consider driving nite which i think best is fri & sat nite ( which i find is very hard to find hirer to offer)
as i am new, i can forsee i might need weeks to hit my monthly target of 2.5k.
thanks for any advice out there....
huh ?? Drive 2 days weekly wanna earn $2500 ???
Wow !!!!!
Meaning in just 8 days , u need to earn $312.50 daily ....
Furthermore , u work 9-6pm , meaning u cannot set out at 5pm , where got possible to get $312.50 a day , crazy ar you ???
U must be kidding !!!!
base on current economy situation , $2500 is a 25 days job at least .
I state that base on u start work after 6pm .
Meaning u work next morning 9am , u need go home by 2am .
In 7 hours . it'll be lucky to earn $100 consistently ....
And u are no old bird like us , u are just a raw new bird .
Don't be a joke to target that amount , hungry ar ????
base on this is ur first post .... i treat this thread as a gimmick . Thanks anyway .
Summary : U must be a FT to get this amount .
The End !!!
FT like work 5pm to 5am ....
From Monday to Sunday .
That is a Old Bird way of FT , new bird no !!!

but still that is impossible…. otherwise all cabbies stay bungalow liao…. haha
i know he said sat/sun ... tat's why i said only FT can achieve that !!! $2500 leh ....
If work 2 days per week can get $2500 , plus the rest of the month , will be how much ??
If so good pay , PhD also drive taxi ar ......
Basically one week can get $250 , more realistic .
One month $1k reasonable .
Saturday nett $125 easy easy
Sunday nett $125 easy easy also .
hi to all bro,
thanks for your feedback.perhaps im too unrealistic :)
now i'm in a discusstion with one hirer for sat & sun 5am to 5pm. so i can request for another hirer to drive say on week days say on tue & fri.(eg 7pm to 2am) Like that it would be more possible to hit closer to my target right, or maybe at least 2k right?
for a newbie like me do you think i should start with day time 5am to 5pm on sat & sun? or focus on night driving?
by the way 'FT' stands for what?
thanks
FT = Full time
Saturday 5am to 5pm .... u can earn , say nett $150 very good liao .
Sunday 5am to 5pm .... maybe also same .
Weekdays 7pm to 2am , non-weekend u can get like nett $70 .
Friday 7pm to 2am ? Then Saturday 5am start again ? U ok with that ? 3 hours sleep ?
not advise to work like 2 day shift , 2 night shift , and the night shft connect anothe day shift .
It's best u take interval days .. Monday night -Wednesday night - Friday night -Sunday day .
Or Tuesday night , Thursday night , Saturday Day , Sunday day .
Cannot Friday drive 5pm to 5am , then Saturday drive 5am - 5pm shift .
Rest is the most important for cabbies . Any fatigue can cost accident thus lives .
Money or lives , for you ???

wa so good arh
Very funny why? all newbies often asked question, how much they can pocket back only they are interested. those 2000 3000 4000.
You already told you are newbie and just wanted to start as zero from bottom.
Taxi driving is just a bit better than those fast food chain that pay by per hour.
Can i ask you what will happen to you tomorrow, the next tomorrow and the next tomorrow.
Even me and all my fellow taxi drivers, also don't know what will be our outing tomorrow.
So please be simple and dun so kiasu and greedy on this new trade that you are veturing only the big buck you are interested.
My recommendation use a gun go to the bank...big bucks this faster and more efficient. Going round by every hour picking up pax on taxi and to their destination, how much can you pocket back, ask yourself.
wah bro
2500 for 8 days a month..5 to 5! i also want leh..then i no need drive like mad liao...
i driving 5 to 5, everyday except sunday, i only target 3k , 2500, thats a far cry man...i wish i can do that...haha...
Hi to all bros,
yeah i think i'm too unrealistic, but meantime i think i will start with 2 days on sat and sun first and add up the days once i have more road knowledge.
but as poolman suggested, i am still consider the 2 options below:
a. mon nite - wed nite - fri nite - sun day
or
b. tue nite - thu nite - sat day - sun day
i have revised my target to from 1.5k ..... :)
got 1k+ alr very gd for 8days
Nowaday driving is not like last year those days...many drivers coming home with lesser and the profit is thinner. Just let you know..last year data per normal day shift is about 25 to 30 jobs on-call, or street job.
Now sometime below 20 or even less, even less on my day shift.
Record provend my hirer on his record booklet shown less than 200 km or below 150km and coming back at 1.00am and even more early. just and example base on his performance. those days above 250 or 280 km per normal.... weekend like saturday more, near to 300 or more. Now sometime below 100km. He told the many places taxi all round all streets are lightened by the lantern on hire the roof top of the taxi... the street became so bright.
But uncle alvin much better coming back a 4am... so how many mileages he clicked never reveal also you know more than 400..hehe.
So dun focus so high and dun aspect good hope on this trade. It getting worst as like the other.
Hi bro kin,
got your point. thx. i will not want to expect too much in case results are disappointing.
as i like driving it forsee that i will enjoy this process. just that i have to overcome that road knowledge part.
thx
u wont like the accidents parts...

Talking about ENJOY...this for you
Just for reference...take a day off, head down to Loyang workshop my company. at the lobby take the lift press the button 4...every cabby are not happy with this button 4, me gone there twice and pressed the button 4.
At the roof top carpark...than you know what i am talking about...those 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000. is not worth in-exchange, and those unforseen that arise. Talk is very easy seeing is believing.
For me..how can that be two saturday fall on one another, hit on the rear twice, who? can believe it. With so many year of driving experience...and driving taxi this happen. Thank god i am safe this time. So this are very interesting after end of the day. Dun give high hope on this trade.
So some of our fellow cabbie never even came home safely...on paper frequent you came across. So what so good about the 1000 or more those singapore currency notes you are planning coming into your pocket.
haiz... so many lao jia0 here
Now you also can enjoy...driving taxi.
Ha...1000, 2000, 3000, 4000. very easy talk only and plan only
What about those on - top of those overhead bridges and those operation white mouses hiding behind the big tree. And those WRX on highway.
Why? every 10 hours your driving taxi how careful you are sure one fine day... you are invited a love letter with dollars given back contribute to the salary, a slap with a demerit point given a rest cos you are working too hard.
Pax told you turn you turn, pax told you stop you stop... pax told you speed you speed every taxis are doing the fastest way on road everyday. Than how can you escape on this matter...they are watching everyday.
Knn you know how many road...speed limit is 60 you are driving a 2000cc like my sonata not feeling ones.... about 20...got caught $130 to $150 and demerit 4 t0 6 points... your 10 hours drving gone and the hard work.
Just happen last tuesday from yck road. opposite dedap road toward jalan kayu center divider at 2pm...do you think white mouse will be there waiting for you, cos this is a down slope kind of road. Ya. he is there, luckliy i did 60 escaped, what about those above 80...good luck to them.
