Tonight we'll see the relaxing of level 2.5 restrictions down to Level 2, while the rest of the country has already gone to Level 1. This means that you'll still have to wear your mask, but business should pick up.
This week too, saw Logmate change the way they do their subscriptions. Instead of being debited by the rideshare companies, drivers will be billed directly by Logmate.
As Managing Director Greg McDowell says " The rideshare industry is unique; all Operators utilise a shared pool of drivers. Keeping things simple and continuing to roll-out additional services relevant to our customer; rideshare drivers; is our goal. This is part of that journey.
The changeover will begin on 1 October 2020, you should have received information about this already.
There has been some concern in the driving community about how Uber and Ola will handle this, if you are using their TSL. Uber has issued a note through the app last night noting the last day that they will bill you is the fourth week of October. Ola has yet to follow up, but none of the rideshare companies should continue to charge drivers after the switch.
This should save you money or at break even, depending on your driving schedule. At the very least, it will make it easier for accounting at the end of the year.
You should start the switch as soon as you can. As always, the team is here to help if you need us.
