I see on the Freenow driver app they've abolished the Priority setup. Not because drivers asked for it but because all they have left is discounts and so many drivers have decided not to work.
They did say it will be back as soon as they want to fuk us over again.Fair play to them.

We won't ever get a better chance to put these fooksticks out of "business" by not going back to them,blood sucking vermin.

You have the same oppeetunity to put ALL dispatchers out of business,and maybe the realization that they were never needed in the first place will dawn on drivers
-
Simply ask the Beggarmasters to set an example by work ing at least one shift of 12 hours solely for the medical profession.
Then immediately look for media attention.
-
I guess if you get really annoyed you might stop advertising them FOC, SB... or maybe not!

That will never happen as Breadvans & Prius drivers are institutionalised and they are FREENOWS Robot Division.Origanaly built by Bill,Dave,Dermot,Now the lot is run by the Fatherland in Munich Daimler AG, and the tech geeks .Freenow drivers are trained and brainwashed as if there part of a Military organisation,Hence the Medals,Sambos,Fish&Chips,Icecream Vans,Tea and coffee.Being honest its better the freenow lads continue that mickey mouse work as what will they do come looking at work I do, or you do????.So in a way Freenow helps the street taxis they mop up all the rubbish
-
If they reintroduce ongoing discounts they can rest assured that some of the men will get very annoyed and some of the immigrants might even protest outside the depot for a couple of hours two Mondays in a row.
-
G/wan...outa that!
-
Taxi drivers have no balls on any occasion I seen them on strike, it lasted hours rather then weeks. I remember on one occasion we went in with all fund blazing to block the city centre the result was it was cleared within 1 day, and NOTHING achieved
-
Don't be too quick to dismiss the possibility, CB. That's exactly what happened when they increased freight by 25%... next time they upset a small minority of predominately immigrants they can't say they weren't warned.
-
Anyone know if the 50% jobs are being taken up quickly, or are they staying on screen for along?
-
I was watching it yesterday and they were being taken. Over about 20 mins I never noticed them going red.
Like I said already if lads can get €15 per hour gross doing a couple of these jobs they'll keep covering them.
Many of our former hackney drivers and the immigrants from outside of Ireland wouldn't be using a meter back home.Haggling is commonplace.So they won't care about 50% off.
-
With over 80% of drivers supporting the plan I suspect the former... but that's only speculation on my part.
-
Think of all the extra FULL fares available when the crisis is over and the drivers doing the 50% jobs are cremated!

I wonder its David Knox and Bill Costello out doing those 50% off Jobs?????.It really should include all essential services.Do Any Freenow drivers here agree??
-
Who are they ?

I believe Bill has left the FN nest
-
This fukin Bill geezer seems to have a bit of a reputation for being a bully boy, from what I hear. Did he come from Kearns, or Kelly's set up ? If so then it fits
-
He was with Pony in late 90s as manager/driver,got a reputation as a guy who liked to help out on important jobs--maybe I should have said nice jobs !
-
Pony Cabs!!
-
I think Global/8202020 bought Pony cabs.Dunno if big Bill went over to the new owners.
-
I don't know the man, but he sounds like a bloke that used to live around our way years ago , we used to call him big bill bollox the blacksmith. Wonder if it's the same bloke ?

Bill is all right, I know him personally and fer what it's worth every dispatcher needs to be a bit of a bully boy because the drivers act the maggot constantly.
Bill is a big age, he looks a lot younger than his years and I hope he is not out driving as he would be considered high risk.
-
Are you being serious, or are you trying to wind me up ? Do you really believe this bloke , or company he works for has a right to throw his weight around when dealing with self employed people ? I can't believe that you really believe that
-
Yea, I stand over everything I post on here, Taxi drivers act the maggot constantly especially at the busy times.
As fer self employed then yes we are self employed but when you take a FN job (especially a pre-book) then the idea is that you should cover it and not cancel if you get a street hail along the way, which does happen a lot.
Also drivers inputting well below what they get paid fer cash jobs after accepting the FN T&C's but just trying to pull a fast one by underdeclaring the fare.
If the FN/Dispatcher drivers are acting the maggot then someone needs to crack the whip every now and again.
-
And F/N are master's at acting the maggot judging by the comments on the last few days

I would agree with that too.
-
A lot of people that I pick up their first complaint is to tell me about the F/N driver who was on his way and then suddenly cancelled. You should here me adding fuel to the fire, especially about the radio dispatcher's . The fukin lies I do tell them it's great when I hear them say I'll never use a radio company again after hearing that

Major retail stores reopening, weather returning to normal, we'll all be back in our cabs in no time
-
Some big players not taking the Bait they are waiting till 29 which was the original opening date .to see if there is an increase in infection .No sense reopening only to close down again Some Dunnes and Pennys and other shops just going to continue taking the Covid Subsidy .So shope reopen on the 8th they wait two weeks that brings them up to the 222 that then gives then another week to restock and get ready to open as planned on the 29th .
-
Safer and cheaper to get back in the Cab than to get on the Q for Ikea!

Based on that wind and some showers you could die from hypothermia before you get the disease in that queue.
