Ok, I'll make this simple. Mr.Dim, my partner has his number on my business cards. Same company same drivers. While me and him both go by Mr.Dream-English, Mr.Dream-Thai, and my missus by Mrs.Dream, I hold the company licensing. We started the company together, but he is more content just driving and dispatching. He doesn't bother with anything to do past that, that would be me and my missus. He's my best Thai friend here, and my best driver, so he is often times the driver that gets the most pickups next to my own personal vehicles.

 

Sometimes pickups are arranged with the drivers directly, in cases such as these, we receive no emails. Hence we cannot reply to emails that have not come in. Mr.Dim the driver you both are talking about Saints and Todder, you guys have used directly out of the RH, as his wife works there, and he often times is in there visiting his wife. So only one Mr.Dream and one Mr.Dim, but when he talks it sounds like Mr.Dream with his accent Hence Mr.Dream-Thai. If you put up a business card for me and him, they are exactly the same, his number is for Thai, and mine is for English.

 

If you make an arrangement with a driver in person, our drivers report those back to me and Mr.Dim so we can arrange the pickups depending on the kind of vehicle needed, location of pickup or dropoff, or time of day or night. Mr.Dim is the only person within our company that doesn't have to report a pickup if its scheduled with him directly, as he was a driver for another company prior to us starting this together, so has past customers as well from before we formed the company.

 

I will happily make sure that he still has the booking for you Todder. If he doesn't, then I'll have to get your information then arrange the pickup for you. Depending on other bookings, it might be another driver that comes to greet you though at the airport.

 

So as you said Todder, because it was made via a 3rd party, I had no clue about it, and in a few hours when I call him, he might not have any clue about it either lol. Will pm you if I need to get your details though tonight.

I used Mr. Dream for my airport pickup in May and received email confirmation as well as a driver with a sign in the designated area at the airport on schedule as promised. No problems with my service.

Just to follow up, the driver was waiting for me when I arrived and the service was good. Even my wife liked the driver and that is unusual.

I just didn't want to wait for a guy that wasn't coming and I didn't want to take a taxi and leave some poor guy waiting for me.

Just a note for Mr Dream, My surname was misspelt and I nearly walked by but I noticed Mr Dream written on the top corner of the sign.

My name has 6 letters and 2 were wrong. Dont take it as a complaint but if you dont know whats wrong you cant fix it.

Thanks Sexyman. The drivers are given dispatch papers once a week, and then get sms texts for each day for their pickups, so the names are right when we get to them. I know in the past, because of the length of some names, the drivers will start to write a name and leave a few letters out. When my missus does pickups, she pre-writes the signs the night before so I can make sure they are all up to par.

 

Will definitely emphasize to the drivers though about printing up the signs a bit better. I would like to be able to print them up off the computer, but getting printed signs to every driver every day, is nearly impossible. But will be certain to keep a closer eye on them in the future.

Looks like the makings of a good site. I think you will do a fine bit of business. See you in October.

 

 

 

 

I have a rough draft of the website being hosted through a friends site, more of a test site if you will. That still needs some pics taken, but happily give you guys a peek.

A newly enforced rule with all my drivers now, a few of which were not too happy with this lol, is now in place. There are 3 conditions after checking their driving history, and that there licenses and insurances are up to date.

 

1. Ride alongs the first week of employment, then randomly at my choosing. This way I can tell if my drivers are moonlighting or are not fit for too many pickups in a day for us. With the 4-5 pickups they are limited to under my company licensing, as thats all I will give most drivers, are enough for them to do quite well for the day, and really does wear them out quite a bit. I have ridden with drivers for 2-3 days straight in different cars, and I was ready to crash half-way through the 2nd day, so I don't want that creating an unsafe working environment or jeopardizing my customers safety.

 

2. Random drug testing and a pre-employment drug test are now MANDATORY with all drivers, including my missus. I go down and take the tests myself with my drivers, as I would never ask them to do anything I myself would not do.

 

3. There is a 10-hour drivers safety course offered by a very reputable school in BKK, all my drivers are required to complete this course and get their certificate. Some drivers opt to do a few hours a day, others to complete the course in 2 days. No certificate, no driving. As my drivers complete these courses, they will be available for display in the drivers vehicles.

 

 

I also do quite like how the meter taxis have the signs with the drivers names on them. Its kind of embarrassing if you are unsure of a drivers name, to constantly be like, "hey you!" As well, if you happen to have liked a specific driver during one of your pickups and prefer to have the same driver again, it will be easy enough to email us with your drivers name and request a specific driver. If its possible to arrange this driver, or a specific vehicle such as the minivan or Avanzas, we will happily do so at the same price.

 

I believe the single biggest thing that we have done with what we offer, for the prices we offer them for, is basically pushed aside the companies that subcontract drivers out, and take 1/3 of what they are making on the pickups just for the opportunity to pick up extra work. The margin of what we make on the vehicles I do not own outright, is so small, that there are no companies that use this practice that are able to compete with our prices. We started out as a group of independent drivers, and a person with an idea about cutting out the middleman pricing structure. This recipe has boded quite well for us, as our drivers are happy, our customers are happy, and we are able to keep affordable rates.

 

I can't speak for what lies ahead in the future, as when gas prices go up, we will have no choice but to follow that trend in our pricing. But you guys do have my promise I will keep these prices as low as I can to ensure happy drivers, such as is the case now. Again, there has been an extreme amount of patronage and support from the Talk crowd, and that is truly appreciated all the way around.

 

We do have something in the works as a way of saying thank you, that will be a big surprise for one lucky customer, but thats a few weeks off from getting worked out. In the meantime though, with all of our bookings made through Talk, be sure to mention the FLB board when booking as that also gets you the advertised prices here. Thank all of you again for your support, as we couldn't have gotten to this point without your support.
