If you're only paying €65/week freight as an ambassador you're either being screwed or you work less than 13 hours per week, Ken.

Emails sent.
I paid 85 last week as I actually did a 40 hour week, even got a Gold star !
Usually I hang around the Silver mark and pay a bit less on a lazy 30 hour week.

I'm not much interested in MyTaxi work between Midnight and 4am which is my usual working time unless it is on my doorstep.
I'm finding a lot of cancellations and no-shows during those hours.

You're not getting any value out of the stickers then. 40 hours would cost an ambassador at least €200 up above in Dublin.

I get what I want from them which is more frequent work at the quiet times, the stickers don't bother me in the least, the majority of my work is done in the dark hours, and after the first few days you don't even notice the stickers anymore, the same as most drivers don't notice the door decal's anymore..

Are you saying ambassador cars are doing 2k a week for 40 hours.
50 bucks an hour.

Jeez I would hae thought that not only would there be no charge at all by a dispatcher for fukking up your car with stickers all over it,but they also would pay you adequate compensation for it as well.after all when  you go to trade it in,the stickers will provably take half the paint work with it when they have to come off,thereby reducing your trade in value even further .Ebbs has loads of drivers with the same thing

I cant believe they actually have the nerve to charge you freight

The young Ross O'Carroll-Kelly types wearing Abercrombie and Fitch hoodies and Ralph Lauren boxers don't get a cent for advertising their products either.

€200 freight would amount to c.€1,666.67 takings, JM. They couldn't be far off that. My freight, as a non ambassador without priority and without covering any Airport or "hospitality" jobs, is never below €3/hour and I generally don't pick up south of Collins Avenue or west of Ballymun Road so I'm not maximising takings by any means. A good few years ago Hail0 told us that it's best drivers paid €240/week freight... the economy has improved since then and the firm's market penetration has increased.

Do you think they should give out the app work fer Free DM ?
If they did who would pay the staff's wages, the IT mans wages, the rent on Mount street and the Cork depot, the Lecky, Etc ?

My 08 Joe has nearly half a million on the clock already and still 4 years left on the licence, today it's value is scrap and in 3 years time when I trade up it will still be scrap.
