Any of you guys work days? I've been doing it for aboout a month now and it's so much nicer working during the day. The only problem is, I'm not earning as much as when on nights :shock:

. Anybody got any tips of where to hang around for the best jobs?-not millbay Steveo :wink:

.

Do you do days Steve? If so, was that you I waved to yesterday parked in Tesco car park-plympton? It was a bloke in a shiny new volvo, so thought it could be.

Happy motoring people.

I should hang around the station rank mate. :shock:

Plenty of work there. :lol:

wELCOME TO THE WORLD OF DAY DRIVING

i can get from one end of the city to the other in 15 mins at night, the same trip in the daytime will take a good 1/2 hour and often a lot more. i'm sure the same story can be told in Mansfield, Gatehead, Brighton or wherever. luckily PH can use the bus lanes in Plymouth so that helps(unless theres a bloody bus in it !)

Happy motoring people. i should think that the same goes for anywhere in the country and not just plymouth. you obviously do get better customers in the daytime (less drunks and druggies) and it is far eaiser to read door numbers in the daytime than at night. dont you just love those brass numbers on dark coloured doors that somehow seem to become unreadable at night? however the downside (for me anyway) is the traffic. it does my head in. we have a lot of roadworks in the city centre and on the one and only north road out of the city and it is like grid lock everyday. you certainly notice the difference in the evenings, i can get from one end of the city to the other in 15 mins at night, the same trip in the daytime will take a good 1/2 hour and often a lot more. i'm sure the same story can be told in Mansfield, Gatehead, Brighton or wherever. luckily PH can use the bus lanes in Plymouth so that helps(unless theres a bloody bus in it !) obviously the quicker you can get to or drop off your passenger, the quicker your on to the next one and earning the money. not that im suggesting the use of Inappropriate or unsafe speed of course the best thing you can do is talk to the passengers you pick up. along with the usual chit-chat ask them how often they make this trip and at what times. especially the old dears, they'll only be too happy to tell you how often they use the company and how they never seem to have the same driver twice. if your carrying a regular user, take a note of the place and time you picked them up. before to long you'll have a list of names, addresses and times, so when you know theres a decent regular booked fare due, you make sure your the one thats in that zone already. wasn't me in Tesco mate. for those who dont know plymouth, millbay is the place the ladies of the night like to gather and earn their trade, apparently, so i've been told...
