Taxi Driver Online :: View topic - Thought i would just pop in for an hour or two tonight.

As the title says.

Been in all day waiting for dyno rod. No one came.

So decided enough was enough and i needed to wash the car and put fuel in so may as well get an hour or two under my belt before night shift starts on Weds.

First job. No show.
Second job. 1.1 mile.
Third job. chuckie four quidder.

Then it blew my short shift.

Blood from newcastle to liverpool.

175 mile each way.

Just got home now.

My eyes are hanging out.

After reduced rate for the job and 10% deducted. Also only paid one way. Was a hard earned shift in my eyes.

Because if I fell asleep and hit the gateshead traffic in the morning. I would have been pulling my hair out.

Got stuck in it the other day taking my better half to Manchester airport. Was a sloooow drive home due to it.

If i was tired. i would have rested.

My eyes were hanging out from the eyeball to road ratio that went on.

I had a convienience break on the way back.

I aint as dumb as you guys think.

Just shy of 2 large. After deductions.

Very reduced rate for the account type.

£1.20 or summat per mile.

Had a nice day off today...

Yeah. mpg was not bad at all. Plus round the town would have been a million 1.5 milers most of the time on a Mon evening.

Awesome job for A Monday night. No backchat, chance of a runner, etc etc. Only ever had one such job, a machine part going from s.Wales to Edinburgh. 800 mile round trip. Took the weekend off after that one.
