Taxi Driver Online

Hi, this is a follow on question from my previous post.

I was hoping there may be a London PH Driver who could give me a rough idea on weekly income. Some companies do quote earnings, however I am sure the reality is somewhat different and subject to many variations.

What I am looking for is a rough guide to what would be a standard income after 4 long days for example. I trust there is no set wage in the trade, unless you draw a salary, so please feel free to project a figure on a flat standard week.

Finally, as I would be self employed and responsible for my own hours would it be possible to work a long week ( say six or seven days ) to build a good income then take it easy the week after.

Thanks for any advice.

If you work a 20 hour day, for 7 days, about £300.

But you can sleep well knowing the MD and shareholders are doing nicely.

Ask Ollie or Blobby, i'm sure their both rich.

Thanks for reply.

Was your answer a serious one?

20 hours per day for seven days brings earnings of only £300???

So are you saying that a Private Hire Driver in London is earning about £2.15 per hour.

Based on your figures would you all not be better off ( time and money ) cleaning toilets, which pays minimum wage for a normal working week. I would question anyone who agrees to work seven days a week for 2 pound an hour. It makes no sense whatsoever.

Any further comments are read with interest as I am now confused and shocked.

I don't think he was, but I'm not that sure anyone will give you an accurate figure over the net.

If you have a good job at the mo, then keep it. If you want out then try PH for a while.

If you work on a good circuit and work crap hours then you will do just fine. If you work on an iffy firm 9am to 5pm then you wont.

Why not be truthful YOU WILL PROBALLY TAKE 10 TO 15 POUNDS PER HOUR on average sometimes more sometimes a bit less nice run around the m25 on a clear day set fare about 60.00 2 hours driving take 30.00 an hour lovley but get a bad day and get stuck on there on a set fare 2.15 an hour does sound right

Is that at 3 in the morning then?

its quite simple

put the hours in and u will make cash just like any job.

you will have your good days and your bad days.
