apps
« on: January 21, 2024, 05:26:24 pm »
what's the crack with the apps.
i've only ever used freenow but how do the others compare in terms of jobs off them. uber? lynk? are they as busy as freenow je reckon?
we all know tony is a hungry cunt and he has the three of them on the go. i believe he had fuckin three phones cellotaped to the windscreen with a birra old newspaper stuffed in behind them so they would'nt vibrate before someone told him you can juggle every app on the one phone.

You should have as many apps as you can.Customers move around all the time to different companies.Every few weeks Freenow announce some stupid idea and piss off the drivers or customers.Handy to have an alternative so you can tell them to go and fuk themselves.

I have the 3 apps on one phone, and a despatcher on the other., despatcher just for advance airports really. It can be a pain remembering to switch off 2 apps when you get a job on the other app, but I think that they all need to be reminded that there's competition. Despite their awful history in the States, Uber are definitely making a go of chasing FN. €25 extra last night for 4 jobs 22.00-04.00 or €40 for 6 jobs. Did 7 in total 1 before 22.00, and 2 after 04.00, so €25 extra.
Trump has called for help, so I'm on a plane heading for The Strait of Hormuz, talk soon.

My next taxi will be...



I only have 1 app so haven't tried multiple apps.  But I'd be worried it's not safe and you'd be constantly looking at your phone instead of the road?
