Sod it, i took my car in to have the A/C fixed, garage is in town 8 miles away right by the rank but i opted for UBER, £9............ I was charging £12 10 years ago....

so im outside the train station making sure the hacks on the rank can see me, my WHOOBER comes in drops off a guy, i get in in, whe i get home, driver gets another job pickup 300yds from our house, so thats 3 jobs back-to-back

as a pre-UBER hack on bases in the town i NEVER had 3 joined up jobs

2015 2ltr DSG passat on 175,000 miles, Walsall driver/Wolvo plated

And the drivers only get 75% of that.

Yep, loads of work, but I'm not doing starvation rates. Even if they are one after the other.
