Taxi 1990 why did you say WORK FOR when talking about the dispatcher you don't WORK FOR THEM , you work WITH them. They are not your employer, though, most of them think they are


because look at the way they brought in the 15% commission. did they discuss this with the drivers or just bring it in as they pleased?

I have been telling all of you this is not a full time job for a man with a mortgage or single income .Get another part time gig .Parcel delivery will boom as shops shut and people buy with credit on line .Team up with a mate get a Van do deliveries and share the taxi as well .


You were telling them is wasnt a full time job, when ye were making a fortune up there in Dublin the last few years.  lol

How are you passing the time now in Mayo 1990?

Well I'm very glad to hear you don't work with them . Unfortunately nearly every driver on here , when they talk about a dispatcher, they say it in the context of working FOR them. That's why all the drivers cannot seem to understand the discounts. They don't seem to realize they are not employees, and they can say no. In fact THEY , the drivers are the employers, and that's another thing they don't seem to realize. This coronavirus could be the best thing that ever happened to the industry, if it bankrupts dispatchers and they go out of business . I'd fukin love it

Might close dispatchers ,but will make that freenow stronger.Dispatchers only control 30% of the market Freenow 70%.So imagine freenow with 95%,They will dictate the taxi discounts at there leisure.

Fella I know hires casual labour says pubs wont reopen till September unless they have a large beer garden or outside seating area .Horseracing ,GAA soccer concerts no chance until September .He says that the contract to supply barriers for the Dublin City Marathon has been canceled as athletes cannot train for the event .Horseshow not yet cancelled but he has not been asked yet to supply casual day labourers .

I'd say most firms will offer discounts to try to get folk using cabs again.

If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

Oh they will at the expense of the driver its already started.You will never see Dublin Bus drop there bus fare price as its set by the NTA.Taxis are robots they follow the pied piper Freenow, and the last 30% holding of the obsolete dispatchers.I dont do either as I can't afford to discount fares.Im seriously thinking of hanging the boots up.Im nearly 50 and might get something less stressful.
