Every day starts differently with GLH, as the working hours are when a driver wants to work. This is the benefit of being self-employed under GLH, you are your own boss. This allows you to set your working hours to what best suits you, as you should balance your work life and personal life. Having an even balance of the two will mean that you will be refreshed and able to give your best work. We know there may be an incentive to keep working and earn more money, however, spreading out your hours throughout the week can prevent you from burning out. It can also prevent any incidents from occurring, such as crashes or frustration with other drivers around you. Make the most out of the flexibility GLH provides and enjoy it.

 

In terms of the best hours to work you must take into consideration what the daily life of a person is. Obviously, weekends will be very busy at night, especially in London. It would be great to keep an eye on what events are on during the course of the week. These events could be sport-related or music related, which will cause congestion but provide clients in need of a driver. In terms of a normal day, it can depend on the time of year, e.g., during school holidays. These are great to watch out for as it may be more useful to serve those clients with an early flight, leaving the rest of your day free. Other early starts may be due to office workers who need a lift to their office or a meeting with another company. So overall being smart with the hours worked and when to work them depends, optimising this information can mean more money for yourself with as few hours worked as possible.

 

We know that drivers in the UK may feel like they must work long hours in order to pay for the cost-of-living crisis, however, we must retain the message that spreading out the hours will benefit a driver more than you think. It may lighten your mood with customers, potentially increasing the chances of tips.

 

There is no such thing as the end of the day as your hours will end when you want, meaning it could be the end of the morning. It would be advised to stay alert though as you never know when a client might be just around the corner with a last-minute booking.
