NXT and VIP to amalgamate?
Trump has called for help, so I'm on a plane heading for The Strait of Hormuz, talk soon.

C2K can be annoying. You still see clients queuing at their depot when the bus stops and laybys are awash with Free Now / Bolt / Uber drivers begging for work.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

C2K was busy last night. However, most jobs were within the Garda exclusion zone around Croke Park.

They're taking over NXT and its associated companies--very odd

VIP and C2K are on iCABBI. Dreadful platform BTW.

Yes NXT are also on it. Can't see why they got awards for it, or why it seems to have been adopted in other countries.

Free Now went through a silly half hour c.22:18 where it offered me c.23 jobs in a row from Clonliffe Road and/or Joneseseseses Road without activating the "Busy" button in between - well, there was no in between, it was just job after job after job. Are they in the exclusion zone? I was just thinking as I ignored it... lucky there was no bonus in play, that'd fuck the acceptance rate right up!

Gather freight is 70 euro for the Dalkey crew ,reckon Xpert freight was a lot more --nearly 30% commission on accounts --must be like City years ago "charge what you want "
2K reckon they can make it pay --they're a long time at it

I think Anthony has a 15% option now as well but you only get the excess work or some such.... probably not far different from Free Now without priority in practice.

Do you get much work off it? When I worked for Anthony it was 99.99957% cash with as much work as you wanted for €80/week. What a difference the apps have made!
