    hi guys anyone got any ideas what the weigh in rates are with Network or Glasgow private hire.

    Circumstances changing and looking to go out myself fed up in office work.

    Also how do you apply to Glasgow council for a private hire badge.

    All * on tinternet even a PM if you don’t want to publish it cheers

    Aye something like that :fear:

    Had enough of * being snide mate tbh and having to justify wanting time off to spend with family etc.

    Was going to walk round to Network and speak to them but don’t have a clue about it and don’t want to go in looking like a *!

    Cheers Bernie just wondering if anyone has any info on how much it costs?

    Is it better to hire taxi and radio off them or using own car etc?

    Mate, I know lots of taxi drivers - every single one of them absolutely hate their jobs, loads of expenses and rates going up means more hours, less pay.

    Avoid.

    Wait, haven’t you claimed to be an accountant? Surely that’s a * massive pay cut if you’re thinking about becoming a cabbie.

    I'm a network driver. 138 per week for radio. 165pw for hire of a taxi. I think Hampden and Glasgow private hire charge 145. Once you apply for your 3 yr badge with GCC you need to go for a customer care course, Glasgow taxis (hackneys) deliver this down in boden st dalmarnock

    * that.
    Go self employed if your qualified accountant. If the boss is a * it's your own fault.
