That's the truth it not to our benefit but theirs

I already told you that want to listen .They will offer you a partnership Your Plate their car you sign up to lease the motor and cover whatever work they cast your way you fall below a certain job acceptance rate the car lease reverts to a loan and you are left with an expensive car you dont need .Mercedes must have a few thousand unsold cars from this year and old Diesel Cars are not really in Demand .This is a fishing expedition to guage where they can set the asking price for this Car and Work Partnership deal .They own the work now they are moving to own the fleet .For those of you that were on Roys you will remember I applied for the Managers Job .If I was running it this is exactly what I would of planned to take your business off you .

It has to be a lease /Loan in your name as that is the only way they can use your plate .

What a load of bollox Erm.

Limo plates cost a grand.Think about it.

What a load of bollox Erm.

Really Think of it .They control about 60% of the work .If they could get a fleet of their own Drivers that work could be shared out among less drivers with non aligned drivers only taking up the slack .Your car payment and freight probably paying less comission than non Partners .Ask Vandriver he seems honest enough .If he was offered a car and guarenteed work package for under 40% of his takings would he take it .If you take the cost of purchasing a car and freight for those that are 70 to 80% Free Now dependent  If you thought you would get 1K a week in App work minus 40% probably also on a group Insurance through Zego who they have partnered with .I wouldnt think they would have much problems getting Plate owning Partners to sign up .Just because You and I are casual traders dosent mean lads that need full wages wouldnt .Watch this space I havent Been wrong with every other prediction I made about this company .Its a tried and trusted Franchise model .Spar Super Value Centra you own the shop they supply a % of the Goods you have to take and they reward you as a PARTNER .Why would Free Now be any different they have taxi fares to sell and to prevent another taxi app stealing the business we gave them they guarentee it with their own fleet of cars .

Well if they didn't have that idea they have it now john

Erm yer way off.Mercedes already wanted to sell to Uber but BMW is holding up the deal.There's no work out there.They're not that stupid to get further financially involved in this fukkn mess.

When the robot cars are normalised in ten or twenty years they'll have their own licence category.You'll be well gone by then.

CITY CABS ...Same thing just you are a PARTNER you need your PLATE .That was always the plan Like they promoted the test for lads that wanted to get a Van .Their other PARTNERS are ZEGO insurance where you can pay by the trip read their blurb and SUM Up .Trying to eliminate all cash work .Its a business plan and couldnt be clearer .Did you ever actually read the Goodbody report or the 2012 Act .They want all drivers alligned to dispatchers and cash free .Thats the Government policy and they built their business model around that .Act also stated off Street ranking .As some of these late night carparks are restricted by pedestrianization of Streets dont be surprised if They become walk in taxi dispatchers .By you contributing your Plate to the PARTNERSHIP you feel some sort of loyalty to the Brand .As I said before and will say again FDS told us all its a part time gig and he was right .If I could get minimum wage I would take it and just taxi part time .

Erm you can't even make a living full time how are you gonna do it part-time?I doubt multi-billion Daimler is looking to Ebbs for ideas on how to make money.Get the boat.

 Germans see the Bigger Picture throw a bit more coin at this then do an UBER and float on the stock market after that they dont give a fuck .They are looking at EPD earnings per driver just like Uber and thats how the value their assett before they flog it off .My personal opinion we wont ever see Robot cars .A car is more than a mode of transport its a status symbol a crate to freedom if people only wanted to get somewhere they have loads of options Bus,Train,Tram ,Bike ,Walk the car is the most expensive mode of travel yet the most popular thats the bit that robot car makers dont get Car =freedom .

They DONT own you,or the work as I always said.you have the biggest weapon of all,and none of you seem to be able to see it.ITS YOUR REFUSAL TO PLAY BALL.how the fukk can they own you,the work,or anything else if drivers collectively refuse to do their bidding ?  Its painfully obvious YOU hold all the aces,yet you cannot seem to see that.I will NEVER understand the logic of taxi drivers
