I work nights Merc. There's little or no work on the streets unless you beg outside pubs, clubs or restaurants. I prefer to do fewer hours by keeping rolling. Sitting on a rank is like being a sitting duck.

If I told you lot what I made last year,you'd probably not believe it.So I wont .
I'm probably either No 1 or No 2 on here .(Because obviously the 2k+ merchants are either too busy or too sleep deprived to chat shit here)

[mercenary for hire]

I like being poor...can't really explain it.Just do enough and no more.

Don’t see the big FN fans posting der earnings but always boasting about Trummers and Monkeys.
Must be all tall tales

This:  Their [ASAI] analysis showed that 83% being split nearly equally between €0 - €499 and €500 to €1,000, with 10%, having earned between €1,000 and €1,299. The remainder, 7%, earned more than €1,300.

~40% less than €500
~40% €500 - €1,000
10% €1,000 - €1,300
7% more than €1,300

FN's knuckles also got rapped for not saying if these numbers were gross or net

More info from RTE - https://www.rte.ie/news/2024/0227/1434779-asai-complaints/

Data provided by Free Now outlined the number of weeks worked and the weekly earnings for the Free Now drivers over the year in question.

They said that earning data represented the top 5% of drivers in 2022 and therefore was a true representation of what someone could earn up to on a weekly basis using the app.

The advertisers highlighted the fact that more than 7% of the drivers had earned up to €1,300 a week driving Free Now in 2022.

The ASAI Executive said they undertook a basic analysis of the information provided by Free Now.

Their [ASAI] analysis showed that 83% being split nearly equally between €0 - €499 and €500 to €1,000, with 10%, having earned between €1,000 and €1,299. The remainder, 7%, earned more than €1,300.

The ASAI upheld that complaint on that issue. It also partially upheld a complaint about the same advertisment that it did not specify if the €1,300 figure was net or gross.

I'm surprised FN gave out that info so easily?  But 83% of FN drivers earn less than a grand a week v. 7% over €1.3k  As Frank Carson might say, it's the way I tell 'em

And again no mention of FreeNow in the RTE headline...

If you were earning 1300 a week for 50 weeks of the year that's 65,000. How much would revenues cut be? And that's just off fn. I don't think I've ever declared more than 25000 if even that tbh.

And bear in mind that FN have to run promo's to get people to work nights, some mornings and big events... so they can't get enough drivers at those times.

But €1,300 is kinda believable and not at the same time.  It's 13 jobs/day x €20 x 5 days = €1,300.  But I'd imagine you'd have to knock off 15% commission as well.  Could an average driver work at that level week in and week out and still have a private/family life?

I pay them about €80 a week commission/freight.

If my passengers are to be believed there are at least two drivers of sub-continental persuasion per taxi, and sometimes three.
