Hi all i have just applied for my Hack/PH licence. Having never done any Taxi work before i would be happy for any tips from all you experienced drivers. I have been promised at least 4 days work from a local operator, i am aware that you either love or hate the job, if i love it i may get my own Taxi. Time will tell. I am in the Cannock Chase area. Thanks |

But there are seven in a week. 
Anyway if you work hard and do cr** hours, then you will earn enough to exist. If you want to work 9.00am to 17.00pm, Mon to Fri, then you wont. Don't give up your day job just yet.

It's a little quiet at the moment but you can earn a living if you put the hours in. What 4 days will you have a vehicle for because that could really determine how much you can earn and if it's enough to live on. |

Tues day, thurs night, fri night, sun night. I know its quiet at the mo but the operator has a few school runs and airport work. Fingers crossed i will be OK. Even if things dont work out at least i have given it a go, better than nowt. |

Don't bother with Tuesday day, just work like a **** on the other shifts. |

Tuesday day is ok in my neck of the woods so I think it's a case of trying it first. The cars available for 4 days might as well use it on those days |

Stark reality of the Taxi Trade is quite simply this young skywalker.. 1. Credit crunch means fewer fares. 2. Longer hours for 1996's wages. 3. De-limitation creates over-ranking situation. 4. Totally mis-governed Trade = Anarchy. 5. Buy a Euro Millions Ticket on Friday..more chance of making money off that. 8. Get a job with "The I'm Losing The Plot" Helpline. You'd never be out of work with our lot !

Thanks Not far from me then, nor wannabe either. And I'll promise you that you will win the jackpot if you buy a Euromillions ticket on Friday; that's how much that promise is worth. All the operators want is your weekly settle; few of them can supply that amount of work, especially in the present economic climate. But good luck in the trade anyway & here's hoping I'm wrong about your local operator for your sake. |
