Junk Mail From Free Now:
Hi Stephen,
We just wanted to say thank you for putting in such a strong shift this December.
We understand that most of our drivers take time off at Christmas to spend with family and friends but we've noticed from previous years that some drivers like to work on Christmas day.
That is why we are offering a Prebook bonus on every Prebook job you complete on Christmas day, 25th December!
How does it work?
Every Prebook job you complete on the 25th December will be a guaranteed fare of €25, so if you complete a Prebook and the fare is €15 we will top it up so that you'll earn €25 for that job!
You will receive your bonus in your weekly statement on the 7th January.
Happy Holidays,
The FREE NOW Driver Team

Nice to be appreciated. I did a fairly "strong shift this December" - 8 hours on the 14th.
If you're using taxis for short journeys on the 25th I guess it makes sense to prebook with Free Now so your FN driver will get a decent tip out of someone else's pocket.

Does the fare have to be €15 or more? I'm banned from pre-bookings for some reason so not sure how it works... Could you drive a few family and friends around the block for a fiver each & get €25 for each job?

Is that why you're banned from prebooks? lol

Ide say they know ya run this site Stephen...so they lickin yur arses ....I didn't get that emails .....wonder why ?
Anyone else get it?

prebook me bollox with the higher tarriff puc and extras most jobs should be about a score why bother wasting time with prebooked .The money shot on Christmas Day is work the Graveyards a lot of people visit and then have family rows .
-
In previous years they suspended pre books for a few hours over the Christmas period ::fds
-
We only got offered €20 guaranteed fare on pre-books down here in Cork !
I do intend to work it but I don't intend on ever having to look at the pre-book screen, tariff 3 and the app hoping, you would want to be mad to be contemplating taking a pre-book unless it fell totally in your lap.
-
I was chatting to one of me neighbours and he can't prebook for tomorrow already.So they cut off the booking facility to limit their payouts in advance.
-
How many jobs on the pre book at the mo.....i'm not turning the app on to find out btfw!!
-
How many jobs on the pre book at the mo.....i'm not turning the app on to find out btfw!!
166 jobs hal with a grand total of zero, yes zero jobs for Christmas day. They've all been snapped up already. Guess it's one more reason to leave the keys in the drawer, pour yourself a nice cold one and enjoy your Christmas at home with family or friends or both. Merry Christmas.

Pre-books have been blocked down here from 6pm Dec 31st till 6am Jan 1st.
I did take a pre-book last night after midnight because it fell right in my lap and I knew it was a guaranteed Score but the Fookin thing went way out west and the fare was 35 and odd.... Bollix !!
-
Just wondering if you did a prebook job for €15 and you get the guaranteed €25 do you pay the commission on the original job price or the bonus €25 pirce?

That’s the best joke I’ve heard all year
-
I went out fro a few hours on Christmas Eve, about 10:30pm and worked til 2am. Flying all over the place, only did 8 jobs but rate 3 is great.
Then went out this morning at 4am til 7am and again only did 7 jobs. Made more in those 7 jons than the 8 of Christmas Eve night.
Was watching a few prebooks but with Tariff 3 a lot of the short jobs would have been €25
-
not one pre booked job in clondalkin or lucan but the thing went wild after midnight with them after the bo bo was finished most were short hops under a tenner .
-
No pre books available Northside on Xmas Eve night/ Xmas day.
Xmas night was more lucrative, yet not as busy as past years.
Unfortunately I'd to drop the Mother in Law home to Donaghmede at the busiest time of night.
She doesn't drop and roll the way she used to, so stopping ate up valuable time! 8)

I did a rake of jobs around the dale and the lock last night and one phrase that kept coming up was "a christmas argument."
never heard it before.
i deduced that it means a gargle/gear related angry/violent confrontation between family/friend members that should be disregarded/escalated based on the circumstances/severity but the perpetrators(s) should neither be condoned/condemned on account of this special time of year.
gas stuff.

Christmas Eve was very good working the streets and App there was a bum on the seat nearly all the time (6 hours), Christmas night was the same (2.5 hours) all app work. Stephens night was very busy but as usual after every drop you had to make your way back to town empty to pick up (4 hours) 1 app job.
-
I cleared the bonus in under 4 hours last night... didn't see the city or any traffic. Roll on January!

Well done Ratty.....if all those chinesesss opened 24 hours...you could most definitely roll into Jan.

At the risk of DM literally splitting his sides laughing...
You're right, they did give me a Bronze but I had a Gold star a couple of weeks back... and it doesn't look like my other bronze medals, much lighter in colour:

Aaah, I'll miss that. Going up to the UK tomorrow, early start = early to bed...
-
what is all the gold/silver/bronze codology about.
also what is the ambassador gick about and how does one go about becoming one.
-
You need to carry Champagne and Frerro Rochers - for giving away, not selling - to be an ambassador... and have your car destroyed with stickers and stuff.
-
right and the medal stuff?
if you're gold medaled up do you get first dibs on jobs coming in or something.
-
No, just a sense of achievement / job satisfaction and something to show your wife / husband / (same sex) partner / etc.
-
fair play.
-
See when Mrs. Catcher says are you not going to work again I can retort what do you mean again, it's barely a week since I got a gold star.
-
what is the criteria to get a cancel fee.
I'd imagine the distance you had to travel only to encounter a no show would be the biggest contributing factor.
one kilometer? two kilometers? three kilometers?

Charge the PUC...it covers the commission most of the time.Most of my pick ups are less than one kilometres away...sometimes less than 300 meters.Lots of the passengers aren't ready anyway so you end up waiting outside their gaff or a pub/office for a few minutes.If the passengers wanna be having taxis magically appearing at their feet they should pay for it IMO.Don't feel bad about it because they don't feel bad about not tipping or in the case of account jobs us not getting paid until the following week.
There will be a time when you miss not getting cash in the hand.App work will keep you busy but the tips will be a thing of the past.
-
you're right. fair play.
-
Doc, have you just joined the FN Empire ?
-
I normally start the meter when i hit arrived so when they eventually open the door i add the extras
-
Doc, have you just joined the FN Empire ?
I have yes.
I joineded back in june but I could'nt make head nor tail of it.
press this. press that. if this happens press that. if that happens press this etc. etc.
started using it successfully about ten days ago. well impressed I am.
all I've ever done is prowl the streets looking for cunts.
psychologically it was tricky to get used to the app.
but I saw loads of aulwans using it so I reckoned it mus'nt be that hard.

Your obviousely new to the FN scene DMG and you seem like an old timer kinda reluctant to learn new tricks ?
I'll talk ya through it, Firstly your weekly rating is based on how many FN jobs you do, if'n you do 12 jobs+ in a week you get Bronze status, If'n you do 36+ you get Silver status, if'n you do 60 or more you get Gold status.
And your average status is taken from the previous 4 weeks work, as in my average status is currently at Gold having done 2 Silver weeks and 2 Gold weeks.
(https://i.postimg.cc/rRpSHQgP/FN-SS.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/rRpSHQgP)
All Gold/Silver/Bronze status means is that you get a time advantage peep at the Pre-bookings, which I seldom bother with.
As fer Ambassador, just ring them to sign up, they will put stickers on your Joe, give you a €100 gift voucher fer the privilidge of doing it, give you a Circle K 'Play' tag which entitles you to 8Cent off per liter of fuel (but not in Circle K Express) and half price on all car washes, and then as a FN Ambassador you get to see the instant hails a few seconds before the regular scum.
-
Now see what ye did Doc....cunt!!
-

I'd imagine the distance you had to travel only to encounter a no show would be the biggest contributing factor.

It is 5KM travelling or 5 minutes waiting to get the Fiver Scrub payment.
In order to get it cancel the job in accordance with above.
Go then to Jobs, click on Help.
Click on 'I want to request a cancellation fee'.
Then type 'Scrub' in the box and Oxo, Job done.
-

Fook Em !
€2 PUC on every job, no exceptions !
Do FN allow discounts on 'Around the corner' jobs ?
-
And watch out for job offers with the ::sleep logo.....they deduct €2 from you....it's known as a hospitality charge.

I don’t mind paying the bribe. Most of those fares are only €8 anyways :D ;)

I claim scrub fees when:
i) the job is cancelled by the client after I arrive
ii) I can't contact the passenger and cancel after waiting 5 mins
iii) Non-existent jobs
Just follow the in-app links and type SCRUB PAYMENT followed by a brief explanation (e.g. "cancelled after arrived", "waited 5 mis etc", "kids playing with clever telephone, client has voluntarily undertaken to 'kill the little bastards'", "escaped delinquent, recaptured on pickup", "householder advised that I'm the 847th car to call for non-existent job", "2nd of 3 cars sent for one job") in the feedback box. More often than not they are paid but I don't keep track of them anymore and only realise them from a bookkeeping perspective on receipt.
You should always charge PUC. If the client wants a pick up service he ought to pay for it.
-
Will they pay the scrub fee if the customer cancels after hitting arrived?
Had a job from Northwood where a customer cancelled after i had waited three and a half minutes outside her apartment block only for her to reorder it....which i accepted,she had ordered the taxi in her apartment first time but walked through the complex to another location,when i arrived at that location,before she got in i asked her why she cancelled when she knew i was waiting outside her block,she starts jibberin so i told her to fuk off...and she cancelled again!!
-
I always claim if cancelled after arrived but I don't keep track of what's paid or not paid... only takes a minute to claim so you may as well. I would never accept a job for a second time, if they cancel and reorder I assume they want an immigrant or someone who looks smaller/easier to rob or a bigger or cleaner car or something like that.

how does a person e-hail you on hailo.
do they see a load of virtual taxis on a map and press on yours.
or do they just say I want a taxi and it's broadcasted out to everybody nearby.

Well now Doc....unless you're stickered up to fuk and bringing donuts into HQ and satisfying someone of importance in said HQ....regardless if you have the intending passenger in a headlock in their gaff.....you won't be offered the job.....
-
I don't have stickers and generally only have priority on Sun/Mon when the whole fleet has it... and I've only been to the depot twice, once for initial training and then to meet Tim and Fiona, no donuts changed hands on either occasion although I did get coffee and biscuits on the latter and a notebook and pen and some till rolls. Still no shortage of work... and I don't cover prebookings, hospitality jobs, airport pickups, match jobs, pub jobs, Hail0 For Business jobs or anything south of Collins Ave or west of Ballymun Rd unless it has a stated destination east of Ballymun Rd and north of Collins Ave. In fact, the last 50 hour week I worked using said criteria cost me over €160 in freight... yes, OVER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY EUROS FOR ONE WEEK'S FREIGHT.
-
€160 for freight.....funny you've not mentioned that before!!
-
For ONE WEEK... imagine what the full-time ambassadors with priority are paying, especially the one's that'll work anywhere and cover prebookings, hospitality jobs, airport pickups, match jobs, pub jobs, Hail0 For Business jobs, etc...
-
I wouldn't dare to think!!
-
You don't have to! The man that called me from the depot a while back told me the top drivers trouser €120,000/year with the best driver covering €130,000 worth of Free Now jobs alone. This gig economy thing is obviously worth a lot more than Govt/Revenue would be forgiven for imagining.

It's like Breaking News on here.

The pax hails a taxi on their phone and then the app decides who to send it out to first, it could be one of the pax 'Favored' drivers or an Ambassador or someone on Priority, or someone closer, nobody really knows. FN play their cards very close to their chest about who gets first dibs on jobs but the further you are up the FN tree, the faster (in seconds) you will see the job. I would recommend going Ambassador to you DMG.

I just type in the word 'Scrub' in the box, no need fer an explanation, they ain't gonna believe or read it anyways, but they will check it out. I don't keep track of them either but I do reckon that I get paid the vast majority of them.
I don't think they pay fer the 'Cancelled after arrival' (unless it is the full 5 minute wait).

I had a job tonight and when I reached the joint there was already a taxi there and a couple getting in to it.
can more than one car be given the job accidentally?
other than that I'm loving hailo.
yiz might have another donutgate on yizzer hands.

That can happen, but very occasionally, most likely what the passenger has done is ordered multiple cabs from different dispatchers and taken the first one that arrives. Best job is to sit it out fer the 5 minutes, claim your Fiver SCRUB and Block the customer.

I saw that but I was asking if the app itself could glitch, rather than because of the customer(s) acting the bollocks.

More often than not they are paid but I don't keep track of them anymore and only realise them from a bookkeeping perspective on receipt.
You should always charge PUC. If the client wants a pick up service he ought to pay for it.
Sometimes I think lads only come on here 'cos they love the look of their own typing... why do we bother?
ooh, matron!
I saw that but I was asking if the app itself could glitch, rather than because of the customer(s) acting the bollocks.
Yes happened to me .....picked up a mot and some taxi fellow phones her an says ...taxi is arrived......but I had the job and I asked her name in case I picked up wrong passanger but it was her alrite......
I also have arrived at houses an the cnuts are gettin into a taxi .....usually they multi booked on separate phones because they in a hurry and are inconsiderate selfish cnuts that dont care of wasting yur time

It can at times but that is rare. I had a chungwan one morning going up to the nest and there were 3 taxies outside waiting fer her, thankfully she got in to mine and the other 2 drivers started ringing her as we drove off and she apologised to both of them and then told me that she had ordered a taxi but then her phone said no internet and the app went off, so she ordered another and the same thing happened again, so she ordered another and then all 3 turned up.

Sometimes the App e.g. the 847+ cars sent for a non-existent job and sometimes the passenger either ordering multiple cars by accident or deliberately ordering different cars from different phones to speed up the service. With much longer run-ins than traditional dispatch firms I guess it makes sense to some clients to play that game.
