starting monday im going back to driving hackney in the vale,
Im thinking about buying a cab partnership with a mate as ive had enough of driving private and working hack in other areas as in the last year or 2 ive been constantly switching working areas and i just cant stay away from my family so ive decided to go back drive for someone then buy a cab.
I dont care about any delimitations or anythink just want to work in my own town and be close with my family as well as having a good income without working 247.
Im startin on somebody elses cab on monday driving nights and hopefully will buy soon as.

You have to do what's best for you and your family.

If you want to take a punt on a plate, having informed yourself on all available info, then go for it.

Yh mate partnership is worth or driver but fully owner only worth you if your putting it 10 to 12hours days and have driver at night

Wow, that is a big drop from the £100 a day target that you had when you first came on here. I take it that the trade is not as good as you had hoped.

The trades gone down verry much mainly of the £3 anywhere around town e.g parkway station - hospital average 5miles Ph= £3 and Hc= £5-7.50 its killed the trade.

Well im happy with that figure
Now knowing if i buy partner cab and i drive nights and partner driving mornings e.g. I clear total 600 and he clears 600. = 1200 - fuel, insurance, expences well both take in around 400-450per week.
Im happy as long as i get to see my kids during the day and pay the bills without having to run around all day working out of town.
