Do any of you guys do the nightshift? i haven't done it for a few year but doing it this week seeing i have been offered to be one of the 4 priority cars for the week and accepted it, Sunday night was steady but last night was pathetic, and even got bumped off a guy who gave me a wrecked nokia told me he was going into his house to get the money i waited 10 minutes and he didn't show up, so just drove off, rejected one hire cause the guy had to be carried out to the car told them he wasn't getting in my car put a "997S" in and drove off, didn't get one good hire all night, hope it picks up tonight. Do you ever do the nightshift

I work nights, well 4-12 on weekdays, as after midnight there is nothing about. Start at same time but finish later on weekends, usually 2-3am. Prefer nights as less traffic, shoppers and better fares. Downside is more idiots about.

weekend nights, then decided to come on around 1am till 9 or 10am as a lot of drivers go off between 1 and 3, you've gotta sus out the busy slots, it worked well for me the other drivers always commented on my good runs, well what would you rather do, sit there early evening too many cars on or come out to play when they've had enough and tired! :D :D

You are not wrong! I come out about 04.30 most mornings and usually do quite well as the night cars have gone home, either because they have taken their money or have got [edited by admin] off with sitting around doing nothing! and the day cars drift out over the next 3 or 4 hours!

As an addition to that I tend to do better on a Monday or Tuesday morning than any other days of the week.
