What MO , what shift , u gimme a key , i can drive .
Why ?
Yes .... cos i experienced all kind of lifestyle .
Al kind of shit also went thru liao .....
Ya lor , new bird OMO simi OMO ???
Drive taxi is like marathon running ....
U must run gradually to build up your stamina .
If u first new horn want to run 24 km , without some proper training or preparations .... very fast Bowah standby one side wait for you .
Bo say you bo experience la........in fact, with your night capabilities, definitely can benefit a lot of night rangers............
TS wanted OMO advice, so we give him advice, not to tell him become relief........
Day driving......doesn't just stop at 5 or 6pm, that is day half shift........
OMO day driving meaning start driving early and keep early, but drive through the day plus a bit of night time........
Of course with current fare chart, many OMO choose split shift, not a bad idea also........provided break time don't go play mahjong or worst still Casino, which I know many TD doing that........
Frankly speaking, some characters in life like me cannot partner 1.......so know ourselves and choose your pattern of driving wisely.........

i have taken up smrt epica as an omo. now deeply regretted it.
daily rental 116 gas 50. total 166. earnings per hour : lowest 20/hr highest 40/hr
so the average would be 30/hr would be a good forecast. and if you want to be more conservative with forecasted earnings, it would be prudent to take the lower band, just below the average per hr at 25/hr.
166 divide by 25 = 6.5 hrs to break even. that means if you start driving at 6am, you will only break even by 12noon. by then, energy levels will be exhausted and morale turned lower.
that means to make a profit you need to drive another 8 hours!
u no lying can get $40 an hr ? can show us/prove to us how u can get $40/ an hr during day driving show me the strategy I will pay u $100. -

Bo right or wrong.........but of course CDG love you deep deep.........
Night, after 8pm, frankly I don't know much..........but day, after morning peak around 11am........Bo call sometime quite frustrating, that's why many choose to do split shift........they felt is waste time, but with some call here and there, sometime the trips can be as good as comparing to peak hour, only setback is diesel use a bit more nia..........
Like afternoon 3pm Tuas tio call to AP, minimum also 35pts, than go T1, guarantee 30min out.......heng heng hit town another 20pts..........very fast........
But of course driving pattern, not everybody the same.......that's why being biggest also got advantage........chao chao also got 20k TD to play with.........ä½ ä¸�入地狱，他入loh..........

I can't take this kind of stress anymore.........
Anyway, after first cancel job, usually I will straight pick from street liao.........
I don't take chances, because, most time, operator will give priority to cab charge pax........meaning, they manually cancel your current job and assign you this cab charge customers..........
And I don't entertain cab charge customers........

That's why "auto booking" I don't entertain also........
Eg......UOB Plaza, auto booking, office number........knn, if that farker office at 50 floor, evening rush hour.......also need 10 min to come down from lift........
Than cb UOB plaza cannot wait too long........how?......you take also?......

You solid........I'm very different from you guys, $3 CBD surcharge or $3.30/$10(for Mercedes) on call charges although is very attractive..........
But I pick pax according to my comfort zone..........even without any charges or just slightly outside CBD, as long to my convenient, than will pick........
As a OMO, starting my day early morning........evening peak is nothing to me........of course serving limo pax changes all my driving habits.......
Btw, "auto booking" meaning no name will be shown.......mostly are just office/house number, or these days, sometime will see handphone number..........
Why the display is "auto booking"?.....the frequency use by this number to dial CDG Cablink is very high........and sometime is multiple booking by company(especially company in Tuas area)........
The chances of no show is very high also.........most time you are not able to call back pax, why?.......because is hunting line........
