Taxi Driver Online

got a call the other day from a customer who uses us occasionally wanting a price for a school run which she pays for herself. from her house to the school would normally meter about £9.00. Now I know who currently does this run and how long it takes so I quoted her £12. Later in the day i had a chat with the driver who normally does her to give him the heads up that she is fishing around. The job normally takes about 40 minutes am and 35 minutes pm and he charges her £10 a trip 5 days a week. Spoke to him today and he told me she asked him to match the cheapest quote she got which was .




£65.00 for the week so that means the driver is doing 40 minutes work using about £3.00 in fuel to take just £3.50 and thats before vehicle costs


At the rate prices are going it just isn't worth being in this trade anymore !!!

Your meter will only click up £9 for a 35 minute job?

FFS.

It would be £11 (ish) down here if the cab didn't move.

well lets put it this way she has cancelled it with the driver who currently does the job as he would not go below £10 and i don't blame him

Is it £9 each eay or £4.50 each run??

Says £10 per trip so it must be each way

He'll be out of business before you are. Why lose money?

There is plenty of drivers racing to the bottom of the barrel ,

How many miles is the trip 1 way?
I used to do a school run weekly mileage was 175miles and used to get £260 a week.

The should dump the witch's run and focus on finding something better..

Maybe the new Driver will turn out to be a Psychotic Maniac which just hates kids.."When somethings seems to be to good to be true" it usually is as the saying goes.

old chinese proverb

Good no cheap, cheap no good

it is a wait and return twice a day i.e. driver hangs around up to 20 mins while she takes the child in and then drops her back home or in town
