Driving Patterns or timmings


Since i have wrote this Qns in another tread, I thought it will be good to start a thread on driving timmings and pattern or whatever you wana call it.

Is it a individual trade secret?? nevertheless, mine is just a 'dream' not proven so you commnet please:

What do you guys think of the below OMO timmings:

6am - 9am (3 hrs) : Drive, making all the use of peak hour surcharge

9am - 11am : rest/sleep/breakfast/lunch

11pm - 2pm (3 hrs) : Drive, lunch time crowd

2pm - 5pm : Rest/Sleep

5pm - 9pm (4 hr) : Drive, peak hr surchage

9pm - 11pm : Rest/dinner

11pm - 4am (5 hr): drive, midnite charge

4am - 6am : rest/sleep


Total working hours 15hrs, making most of all the peak hours. And it will be on a weekday. Weekend sat rest till start driving at 3pm to 3am (Sun) and Sun drive 9am - 9pm.

Am I being unrealistic? cause nvr try b4 and thinking of trying it once i got my VDL, if cannot tahan, den will look for relief....

And Yes, I like and have passion for driving.

base on my personal experience, which is very swallow indeed, wink.gif
i would like to suggest the following...

6am - 1pm (7 hrs) : Drive, make use of peak hour plus lunch.

1pm - 4pm (3 hrs) : rest

4pm - 10pm (6 hrs) : chiong CBD/ call booking paxs

sat/ sun leave home late n go home late.

taking too much interval for rest may not be practical becos you may lost 2 much
travelling time home. so, when u chiong, chiong all the way than u rest. smile.gif

we have many OMO here, check with them.

Hahaha.....guys, I like your comment.....

"drive to another world..." "guard duty in Kranji camp..."

taixuncle: ya I have to agreed with you about losing too much time travelling to and fro hme. I was toying the idea of sleeping in carparks during those short breaks and oni go hme for at least 4 hrs break......

so its really a dream to drive like tat huh.....

Really tks for all the comments. guess never try b4 thats why unrealistic.

this thread will help alot for the newbies as we won't walk the unnecessary and painful walk.....

gam xia....
