The reality is that a taxidriver is a low skilled job.I remember a courier in my cab...telling me back in the zeros that we should only be getting 10  euro P H ..max for self employed and 5 e for renters.


You should make as mush as you want as a self employed taxi driver according to how much and how hard you work. was the courier self employed? if not i wouldn't give a $hit how much he thought we should be paid, im guessing he was an employee.

Doctors only make 40 an hour? I don't think so. There are very high operation costs in the taxi industry, even insurance alone is very high. we need to be making 40 an hour, I gave my mechanic about 800 euro in the last week. when that big mouth courier has the balls to become self employed and not be an employee I might listen to him.

Re operation costs, there’s a fella around our way ya see him most days pushing a 15 year old push bike with a 25 year old ladder on the back of it and €1.30 brand new bucket he got from b&q, €10 to do the front windows on the gaff and €25 to do the front and back.

Makes ya wonder.

Exactly, some guy came an emptied our septic tank lately, just 1 man and a tractor and slurry spreader, he was here for 20 minutes max, 200 euro, then he came back in a half hour an did our next door neighbours, another 200 euro. what big costs does he have compared to us?


I wonder would the window cleaner guy have insurance? or is it all cash in hand.

He would have that made back in no time charging what he charges.

The same fellow would probably be moaning if you charged him 20 to drop him home on new years eve.

1990 what happened to your taxi that it needed 800 worth of work done?

Tell us so we can avoid the model.

just wear and tear really, and a mini service. I have 190,000 miles on it so its to be expected, had an NCT and im off at the moment so getting it ready for returning to work. it might actually be 600-700, thought it was more.

He also needs a holding tank or (slatted house about 100k) to store the slurry if he is registered. If he isn't you shouldn't be employing him!!
Did he give you a receipt?

he is registered apparently, he doesn't need a tank as there is a place in town he unloads the tank. yes, got a receipt.

A place in town.... does the council let him empty it at the town treatment plant, which town?
