No chance to try driving weekends. It's either full time as relief cabby or continue in retail.</p> <p>How many trips and hours driving, does one take to reach $100 for morning shift?</p> <p>thank you.</p> <p>For a normal weekday shift from 5am to 5pm.</p> <p>Normally by noon&nbsp; my target&nbsp; is about 10 to 12&nbsp; jobs easily. Peak hours from 7am to 9.30am if you are lucky 2 to 3 jobs and on-call 1 or 2 minimum estimation. Your rental and fuel of the day is already there. from 12pm to 5pm those intake will be your profit, how many trips and collections it all depend on how many pax you can pickup. Workhard never eat snake easy&nbsp; $80 to $100 minimum. Hope this will help. by now you should know what you want.</p> <p>Like my PM&nbsp; make decision ONE Casino is not enough TWO is better, decision is up to you, nobody can tell you what to do.... retail or taxi.</p> <p>GPS this matter from day one till today all by using on the spot Paxs navigation. Why need to invest. Route if you know go by yourself if you do not know ask them, if they do not know politely ask tham take another cab. This formula even my Mentors or Gurus is doing it.</p> Thu, 06 Nov 2008 19:23:08 +0800 sgforums.com:1802:321961:8548143 kinwashi http://sgforums.com/forums/1802/topics/321961 <p>Thank you kinwashi for sharing,</p> <p>I am currently working in retail, so I am working weekends and holidays.
