No cab driver will ever want the KOL made easier, the only ones that do are the garages and the others that feed off our industry!

After great thought, I didn’t spend 3.5 years of my life looking at a map everyday, reading and revising points and routes and going out in wind, rain and sunshine on a C90 day in day out to just give up and walk away and get another job!

After spending 19 years as a self employed cab driver being able to work the days I want and the hours I want, it would be very hard to now go and work for an employer

If I lived in London and I thought the road outside my house was too busy or polluted with traffic then I’d sell up and move out to a quieter area, not expect the local council to shut the road off

When I passed the KOL 19 years ago, I thought this is the only job I’ll ever want or need until I reach retirement age, now with another 14 years to go I can’t quite see that happening!

Why am I seeing all these tweets saying how dear Uber has become, do these customers not realise they weren’t actually paying the proper fare and it was being subsidised by the investors, obviously not 😂😂

I know most of us thought that when we got our badges that we would have a job for life and even after retirement age would still work it part time, how many drivers can now say they’ll never work the job past 67?

When I last bought a cab, a TX4, what was the worst that could happen running it out of warranty, a new engine maybe, £5k for a new one or £2.5k reconditioned, it’s a whole new ball game now

Just doing my figures for seeing the accountant next week, I know I rent a TXE and I know I live outside London but f*ck me, the expenses are a joke, I can see why the KOL is at an all time low!

I heard a cab driver saying he’s going to join Uber, accept as many jobs as possible and then never turn up for them, despicable behaviour! 🙂

When times are bad, we stick together, join UTAG and fight the cause, when times are good, we keep our mouths shut, don’t tell anyone how busy it is and it’s every man for himself 😆

So I’ve been renting a TXE for 3 weeks now, yes it’s costing me more money but there is no comparison to the TX4 I had before, so smooth and comfy, it’s almost an enjoyment going to work now! 🤣

My acceptance rate on Freenow in the last 12 months is 100%, I’ve accepted zero jobs and rejected zero jobs, pretty good I’d say!

When I finally passed the KOL, I had the last talk before we got our badges, the examiner told us all not to ever work Heathrow, he said they are a different type of cab driver and all sorts of things go on at the feeder park, what the f*ck was he talking about? 🤣🤣

So I’ve decided from next week I’m working nights permanently, 8pm-5am, that means I’ll be hitting the gym everyday, got my diet sorted so it’s time to get in shape again!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Just seen the TfL figures for last week saying 1 new cab license was granted and 28 surrendered their licenses, I’m opposed to anything making the KOL easier but something needs to be done to save this trade!

Amazing, I never drove the cab for a week over Xmas and the battery was as flat as a pancake, just started my car that I haven’t driven for 2 months and it started immediately, what a load of sh*t the TX4 is!!

Do you remember when London was 30mph and you’d have to do 20mph over Tower Bridge thinking this is a bit slow…….

I last competed 8 years ago and I said I’d never do it again but I’m now thinking “f*ck it, why not!”, it will mean I’d stick to a diet for more than 2 weeks and it will get me back in shape again! 🤔🤔

Looked at myself today and I can safely say I look old, fat and unfit, I’ve got to change my life, less time in the cab, more time at the gym and a much better diet, at this rate I won’t even make retirement age! 😟

Do you remember at Xmas time when ComCab would pay you up to £10 to drive back to Shoe Lane to do an account job and every account job done on the 25th or 26th December would come with an additional £20 bonus

Our job isn’t any better paid than someone on 40 hour minimum wage, they earn £400 before stoppages, we need to earn £900 after our stoppages, what advantage we do have is we work when we want and have unlimited overtime!
