Title: Make more with a 7 seater?
Post by: U Wha on April 05, 2018, 01:28:36 pm
The crowd I rent my taxi off have offered me a  new 7 seater at a slightly higher rent.

Is it worth taking it?   

Do you have to work it differently?

as in build up a client base, work with a dispatcher/App or work at DAP?
(I heard that the DAA are issuing permits to 7 seater wheelies)

I wonder if you got a Kesh pass by having a  big van then switched to a saloon a month later would they still let ya in.

+1.

Park in McDonalds at the 'Port and save between €400-€430 on Kesh fees annually.Another plus is that you get a call out charge, keshies don't.

Forgot the Meds John?

You forgot to mention part timer too. (In college)

I am a renter, what's that got to do with anything?
No choice but to rent.

Definitely not an ambassador or anything like it. Maybe I should and learn how they operate.

Yes, you do have to work it differently, I worked an 8 seater wheelie fer about 4 months as a renter and it totally did not suit my 'Wham Bam thank you Mam' style of night time taxi'ing. Hailers on the street will lower their hand when they see a minibus approaching, at the rank many customers will bypass a minibus fer a saloon.
If'n ya have a cushy Schoolie and are aligned to a base or MyTaxi then it might work, but the only nights that ya can make a few quid in a wheelie is the weekend nights.

P.S. Be sure to watch the film "One flew over the Cuckko's nest" before you apply fer a Kesh pass !

what about poor Rose Kennedy, JFK's sister.
She was a bit of a rebellious young one and the parents lobotomised her brain to 'fix' her and turned her in to a vegetable.
a fuckin disgrace.

Learn from it U Wha, you might go in to the Kesh/Pebble beach a young/middle-aged man with great hopes and high ambitions.
After 10 years in the Kesh you will probably be wearing a flat cap and moaning that the sun is too bright or the night is too dark !

Slut.

Only about 13.7 % of my work comes from mybollix

Over 99% for me. It's not by design, the system just never gives me a chance to get a street hail. I'd rather be less dependent on it but it's hard to refuse a bird in the hand...
