Advice from an OMO . New Bird OMO
-
Things like own time own target is one thing ....
Owning a car also another .
End day .... u must be a bit rich to tahan as a OMO .
Since a bit rich ..... like me , hmm hmm ( throat itchy ) , why burden yourself as OMO , be a relief , relak one corner .
Earn more , less fatigue , more time to idle , luxury of time to have sex .... both to wife and girlfriends , hmm hmm ( throat itchy again ) .

Bro Alex,
If you are not commited to any timings, try 3pm to 3am or 4pm to 4am. For me is no horse run.
I started as a relief but then, as a relief, I was only taking home peanuts. New mah! need time to learn.
Never start as OMO. Unless you are like me, veery suay always get those knn hirer. Raining day must wash car; diesel pump not enough - pump at cdg then go outside pump again also not enough or telling me he very chin chye one (6pm to 6am) always handover at 6.30pm. Then when you handover late face all black.
After you learn the trade then you decide OMO or Relief but that's going to take a while
For me now Half F--k OMO. My relief drive Mon to Fri 6am to 2pm @$30. Used to having a car so timings was set by me. So, anytime after 2pm I got car to use.
Now looking for relief for Sat and Sun. If have, bonus. Don't have never mind.

Not bad, also good, provided the rental is low, there are many hirers who do the split shift type, so from 10 to 5, instead of parking at carpark, a $20 -30 extra income while resting is not bad for hirer, at the same time the relief, also can add the niche of the rental and timing to earn his living.You see more old taxis like crowns on the road during these period, cos when the vultures are gone, the coyote still can pick up the bits,...steady steady cruise, sweep and pick

I only agree if you purely want to drive night......than to be a relief as a newbie is better......
Many OMO aka Hirer prefer to drive day, and not easy to find a hirer who willing to let out day shift......and somemore must near house etc......
Why prefer day shift? much more normal life mah.......
Poolman drive night, of course he is treated as "high demand" in taxi market......suka suka can throw key......suka suka can fark day hirer......suka suka can change car.......
If Poolman prefer to drive day, (impossible! no carrot for him to eat day time
) than there's nothing to learn from him, he will be another desperato in taxi industry seeking for advice.......(I remember before he throw his key for TC Wish, what happen ah?)I only believe, drive accordingly to your requirement in life.......there's no successful rule in driving a taxi in Sg.......
Like that cannot, change, still cannot, change again......Newbie? No, I don't see this term as a big problem......
Whatever is it, family committment should be number 1, if still single, than is a very different ball game........
Any wife in this world will prefer her husband to work normal hour, most won't compromise even though they know that night shift is a better shift.....
I had read a lot on this kind of topic over here, mostly are NIGHT DRIVERS giving advice.......I had OMO since day 1, from crown rental of $92.xx to Sonata, $104.xx to Mercedes $123.xx, I adjust and adjust my life style to suit my need, and I'm marry with 2 kids(still young)......Of course, now no more driving, but is not Taxi beh dang, is because I found better option in life.........
To be Relief or OMO, no right or wrong, when you committed to high rental, be prepared to get shit, simple as that.......that explain why I rejected $159.xx Mercedes, I know myself, I cannot make it, simple as that......
