toots, my point is that way too many (mainly PH) seem intent on working for peanuts and always quote the same old 90p/£1 per mile that they did 2 years ago even for bank holidays

and its £19/hr, my mistake


Shame on you for dropping his wages.

Never again I'd sooner do £70 to £80 on T1 than £30 on T2 and so would my drivers because at the end of the day its about paying the bills

I wouldn't get out of bed for that little. 8)

well good friday only 2 firms out of 11 charged T2 on the day and they both spent a lot of time sitting around my cars had a steady day and I did hit the £100 mark (just)

And only one customer complaint about a driver who did charge tarriff 2 on one fare so I sent him to pick her up on saturday and he got a good earbashing !


will charge T2 today and tommorrow but customers are OK with that they just resent paying it on good friday because it is market day and apart from the name a normal shopping day

It's bank holiday round here tomorrow and there's and there's a market on, it's still T2. If customers don't want to pay the going rate for the day catch a bus. Oh I forgot it's only a Sunday Service on a Good Friday.

A couple of our contracts are running on the bank holidays. The customer is being charged double fare and the drivers are being paid double time.
