See MT now offering online training to pass PSV test. Ads on "hundreds of buses". Time to reduce my level of cooperation.

Is this a sign of things to come? Don't think there is any cab company doing well at the moment. Cab 2000 dropped their fright to €89. Things must be bad if Mr Kelly did that.

I wouldn't imagine he has the 400 cars that he had in 2010 either.

Probably not,i did a back of the beer mat calculation at the time,i reckoned he was taking in around 1.8 mill in driver fees per year at the time,i'd say his biggest outlay was rent on the base,i don't think staff were paid any huge amounts,
I wonder do the drivers still contribute to the staff bonus at Christmas?

I don't think they do contribute to the bonus anymore but at the same time they are not permitted to take time off for the 2 weeks of xmas as far as I know.

He increased the freight to 100 when they had the chip and pin machines. They don't have then anymore so no need to charge drivers for something they ain't got

Too many rules for a self employed person tbh...and paying for the privilege!!

Exactly, that's why the PPJ app's are doing so well. No way could I go back to wearing a uniform and jumping through hoops again.

I was chatting to a Cobh driver a few weeks ago during re-programming, he told me his base fee was 140Euro per week, and then he added on that the base fee in Midleton was 170Euro per week !
