mytaxi Dedicated Shift

We're introducing mytaxi Dedicated Shifts - demand for mytaxi is accelerating, job offers are coming in thick and fast and we’ll be with you every step of the way.

For the next 12 weeks we're setting drivers a challenge. We're offering bonuses to drivers when demand is high when drivers dedicate their shift to mytaxi.

This Saturday, Oct 7th demand will be HUGE. Therefore we are going to offer TWO shifts this weekend that drivers can choose from and earn cash bonuses!

SHIFT 1:
Saturday 12pm - Sunday12am.
Complete 20 jobs in the 12 hour shift and we will give you a €100 bonus.

OR

SHIFT 2:
Saturday 5pm - Sunday 5am.
Complete 20 jobs in the 12 hour shift and we will give you a €100 bonus.

ONLY 1 shift is eligible for a bonus.

If you’re interested in being involved in this bonus challenge all you have to do is complete the form shown below.

You only need to opt-in once on the form to confirm your registration. Bonus payments will be paid next Friday and you will receive an SMS on Monday confirming if you have achieved the bonus.

This Opt in is only valid for the Saturday shift. Any future “Dedicated Shifts” will require further Opt-ins.

Please remember to take plenty of breaks when working long hours.


T&C’s

- This is a pilot scheme and may be withdrawn or extended at the discretion of mytaxi. Drivers who have opted-in will be informed of any changes made.
- All bonuses will be paid into your account the following week
- Only drivers who have completed the form and opted-in prior to the promotion will be eligible for a bonus
- This opt in form is only valid for the Saturday shift. Any future “Dedicated Shifts” will require further Op- ins.
- Eligible jobs for shift 1 must start at or after 12.00pm and at or before 12.00am.
- Eligible jobs for shift 2 must start at or after 5.00pm and at or before 5.00am.
- Drivers who are identified as attempting to defraud the incentive will be excluded from this and may be subject to review on all past bonuses.

If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

12 hour shifts are illegal for taxi drivers.
 we all signed a declaration when we applied for our PSV driving license that we would only work  not more than 11 hours.

So you've never worked more than 12 hours driving a taxi?
I don't see a problem with it once it's not several consecutive 12-hour shifts. One a week wouldn't do anyone any harm.

It's still a fiver extra per job, enough incentive to get me out the door early.

Done the 20 jobs in a little over 8 hours last weekend, so it's achievable.

The answer is No.
Never worked a 12 hour shift.

World Grand Prix final in Citywest?

€5 extra per job seems OK. I think I'll have a go, opted in anyway.

Have my double expresso ready to go but I'm going to start the shift with a rest period (as advised). Mrs. Catcher is doing dinner today and she's only dishing up now and I still have to shower and shave so I'd say it'll be 18:04 before I get on the road. Still, if I stick with app work and food poisoning doesn't strike it should be achievable.

What incentives have the shams in cab companies come up with?

It's rather simple, don't like the T's & C's ? don't do it.

A lot of drivers are not saying no to free money.
