1250 over 40 hours is 31.50 gross per hour.I think it would be very difficult to consistently hit those numbers for every hour of your shift.And to find another tenner an hour off the street would be hard to do.Unless he's covering more hours than 40 I can't see it happening.

Let’s say you do 40 hours a week.
What happens towards the end of the week, let’s say at 8pm on a Saturday night you reach your 40 hours
Do you go home or work on ?

Work on but don't tell anyone, I know where your coming from with Health and Safety regs.

Probably come a time when there is tacos fitted to taxis !

Ken your wrong. What I said was ,the situation is Getting that way that there will not be enough work for the likes of me on the street.however I did specify that I expect that to be the case IN A YEARS TIME .im ok at the moment,but I said if I get another  year  out of it I'll be happy
So join MyTaxi !
I was the greatest I.T. dinosaur ever on here a few years back but it was mainly 'Roy' from the old forum and many others who talked me in to and how to get started on Hailo with an Iphone 5 at the time and I did need at lot of talking through it but I got all the help required on here and I have never looked back.

No nothing to do with it.
Some blokes on here do 40 hours some 12 hours and others do none.
Just wanted to know if a driver reaches his quota of hours half way into his shift does he stop and go home or does he work on.

Here's the numbers fuk it...150 a week commission translates to 1250 on the app.

1250-150=1100 in the bank.
Let's assume he gets cash tips off the app to cover his lunches and the odd car wash.

1100-250? car rental is 850
850-120 fuel is 730.
Then maybe a 100 a week for tax?.
So if your chasing every job you might be lucky to clear 630.
I was making more than that as a bike courier 15 years ago.
600 is what most labourers get on the sites.Bus drivers get bout the same.

All good until the economy slows then you'll be lucky to take home 4/500 after deductions.Hardly worth boasting about IMO.I'm not trying to be insulting but new lads are being fed a load of shit from Mytaxi telling them they'll be loaded.
Until they understand the difference between earning and churning the myth will keep on going.

For those who think the economy is going to slow down over the next few years and are afraid they may not make a bean.
I’ve said this on numerous occasions, go into The School Transport Office and tell them you want to do a school run.
It could be worth 150k over a 5 year contract.

^^^^^^Just put the car through the test see what happens.They only really check the bulbs to see if they're working.Give the car a good clean and they'll see that your trying.I doubt they're deliberately trying to fail lads.

If I had to bring kids to school they'd not be getting there until 2pm JM....I'm not bothered about a slow down but just like to remind lads that it's gonna happen.At least if they're expecting it they won't try to jump off a bridge or do something stupid.

Don’t bother me either
Have enough work to keep me going for years.
