......I bet you feel like ripping them stickers off your car now ken. Or do you?
Not quiet yet Horse, down here FN is the only show in town so we are stuck with either them or a dispatcher or work the streets/ranks.
But my loyalties are waning by the day, first there was the voucher issue where I was very unfairly treated and lied too, never getting an apology, then the 15% commission increase and then the 8 cent off per liter discontinued with a big promise that a new offer would be coming soon and not a Dickie bird about that fer months now. And then this DISGUSTING offer this morning which is no more than a PR stunt putting drivers lives at risk while they cocoon themselves.

They were never your friend ken, just taking advantage of you which, thankfully,  you're starting to realise.  However,  I fully believe things will only get worse with them, less work with more commission.  Cmon ken, go with your gut, join the dark side. You can do it, just takes a bit of will power.

Remember any dispatcher survives mostly on what contracts he can secure.just like Kelly with the hotels where his drivers illegally park daily.but when rhis is all over,I wonder how many contracts can be secured then.I might actually see these cunts go out of business by default

Fuel Benefit Update ⛽️

Hi Ken,

On the 9th of February our partnership with Circle K will be coming to an end.

The good news though is that our driver partnerships team have been busy in the background securing one of the most competitive fuel deals on the market which we will be announcing very soon.  ‌

We're looking forward to announcing the new deal soon. So stay tuned!

Thanks,

Your FREE NOW Driver Team.

Heroes 

Working together to make a difference...

Hi Francis,


We would like to say thank you for your responses to the survey we sent out last week. 87% of drivers said that they would be interested in giving HSE workers discounted travel to and from Irish hospitals. With such a positive response we wanted to make this happen.‌

To help keep Ireland’s essential services moving, we’d like to offer healthcare workers an approximate 50% discount on trips to and from work. As part of the initiative, we’re not charging commission so the total discount you would be offering is 35%.‌


So from tomorrow at 10am, drivers will have the option to support medical staff with the introduction of a new fleet type in the app called ‘Medical’ offering a reduced fixed fare of approximately 50%. ‌

These jobs are completely optional and will be clearly marked to show that they are discounted fares open to healthcare professionals only. ‌

The initiative offers medical staff a quicker and comfortable way to travel to and from work at a reduced rate while helping drivers to continue to do jobs and earn money.


To see how the jobs appear in the app and for more information on the initiative, check out the blog below.

I just got the cringeworthy FN email sent out to customers,
very little mention that FN are taking No hit at all but just dropping the commission,
and no mention at all that the Taxi driver putting his life at risk is actually the one who suffers financially.

Does that mean that any old joe soap can pick medical when ordering, say it's a medical journey to the driver, going to me mates sick ma and get 50% off effectively making every job half price? These cnuts didn't think this through properly.

Fer those of us who read the small print which I guess is about 2% of us;

How do I know if my passenger's are medical staff ?

Only healthcare workers are allowed avail of this new fleettype and we are telling our passengers this, however we would ask that you confirm this with proof of their medical ID.

If a trip has been taken without a licence please inform us directly and we will refund you the value of the trip and ban the passenger in question.
