Taxi Driver Online

It kind of messes with your mind, Giant vehicle Insurance Costs, Soaring Fuel Prices, Vehicle servicing costs Spiralling upwards....Everybody wanting ever more of your Hard earned...VAT adding 1/5th to everything you buy.

Then whats left the Taxman takes around 30% of through NI and Income Tax.


Then you spend the wee bit thats left as profit and the VAT man adds a further 1/5th of that to you purchases....

Then the Next poor bugger down the line who is trying to make a modest living by selling you goods goes through the same thing with the money you pass on...he coughs out 1/5th VAt, 30% Ni and Income tax.


By the time it gets 5 people down the line the governments ended up with the fechin lot.

Makes me think that £79 dole and my rent paid by the government is the only way to make a profit in this topsy turvey world of ours, and I could lie in bed all day every day without a care in the world.

well they are expencive say like no one has sold in past 2-3 years an you put yours onto the market you'll be able to get a offer between 90-110k buy say people are selling on a regular basis and there's a few selling then you'll be lucky to get over 60k as if you want 100k for your one your buyer could go to the 2nd person selling an offer less then go To the 3rd an offer even less
But people buy as they see it as a good bussines as they think the trade won't always stay dead it'll pik up but me personaly I don't think it will
But I need a bussines idea in which ill succeed and make good money ino ill need to put hours into the bussiness and a lot of work but the problem is what bussiness to do.

Kirby cleaners? Are they still going? What about Amway, are they still going?
You could always buy an established franchise. Dents direct, chips away, either of them could keep you busy.

Grandad,

Yup if he has got a plate to sell then he's got the capital to buy another franchise or business but judging by the posts above I think he would feel very uncomfortable about moving into unfamiliar territory or a job where he hasn't got loads of mates also doing


Trade has been very poor of late we have enough phone work to keep us just about heads above water rank work is very hard to come by in sufficient amounts to be economically viable a couple of weeks ago i had someone who relies on rank work out of the station begging and pleading with me to come on our board but as |i tried to explain my drivers are struggling to pay their bills so another car taking a share of the work is not going to happen unless trade picks up

As I said before without knowing what other experience/qualifications you have it's kind of difficult to recommend a business idea to you. I can think of quite a few if you wanna buy one off me

I want to a bussines like a shop or something like that anything that has good chances of running

new news just came onto the rank this morning an I noticed someone new driving jawaids taxi so had a chat with the new guy turns out jawaid sold it few days ago to a unknown person as this guy was hired by someone to drive it during the days and there's another fella who drives at night but have no idea who's taxi it is
It was sold as a quick sale meaning not at a good price
damn its so quiet 10 cars on rank and I'm 9th

Rainy f*cking day?

Perhaps some of us did, because we expected light to moderate precipitation some time in the future.

But we never thought the 'rainy days' would become everlasting rainstorms, hurricanes and whirlwinds.

I think most taxi drivers are now pondering changing their names to Noah and getting an NVQ in building Arks!!

It'd be as well if some drivers would get a qualification to pass on the knowledge they themselves have of this trade never mind bloody arks

Sorry all, but does any one but the few, in this tarde care anymore every were you go its the same. its when its gone that the public will realise when they have to walk home are get on a late night bus if there will be such a thing. i would think most on here will have work though the betetr times. its just sad.
