PUC is part of the fare. With the fixed freight firms we were allowed work as much as we wanted for less than half what Free Now charged me for a 50 hour week and that was with no access to pre-bookings, airport pick ups, pub jobs, hospitality jobs, business jobs or match jobs or anything south of Collins Ave or west of Ballymun Road without a destination north of Collins Ave and east of Ballymun Road.
Is the 50 hour week aspirational? 8)

I think his family was sick or away or something, very unusual for him to work that many hours in a month, never mind a week

Not really aspirational.... that was back in the summer. From the week ending 14/07 my weekly hours read 31, 30, 44, 50, 49, 29, 0, 0, 20, 23, 19, 11, 0, 0, 0, 0 and so far this week 0. The joys of being self (un)employed I guess. Averages 17 hours per week which isn't far off what's normal for me... despite suffering a broken shoulder.

PUC negates commission.
Only if the fare is cheaper that 16.66 and you happen to be right beside the Pick Up Point(PUP)
I just got me statement from last week, 45 jobs in total, 36 less than 16.66, and 9 over.
The furthest I would travel would be 2km within the city and it would need to be quiet fer that to happen.

I dread to think how much freight FN ambassadors pay. The last 50 hour week I done cost me over ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY EUROS, yes ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY EUROS... and I don't cover pre-bookings, airport pick ups, pub jobs, hospitality jobs, business jobs or match jobs and I don't pick up anything south of Collins Ave or west of Ballymun Road unless I'm beside it and it has a destination north of Collins Ave and east of Ballymun Road.
OK rats so you hit around €1400 for your 50 hour week. Do you seriously think that if you did the same 50 hour week with anto Kelly and paid him €95 you would of taken home the same money. What's the point in paying less fright the A company that has a lot less work.

Based on figures from the last boom I would have taken more with C2K. The app has fucked up what used to be the most lucrative work i.e. early morning prebookings. With the app the idiots that cover tham are restricted to one or two jobs an hour whereas with C2K you'd cover 3 or 4 jobs an hour. Having a base controller to give you jobs on the way to prebookings makes a huge difference.
