Asked by pensacola cabby almost 11 years ago

Both actually...but that is in my cab because i have seniority most drivers have to chose one or the other

I'm going to try and get on board with a cab company. I've been reading online stories of how cabbies are expected a "high book" of you and if you are on the low end for like 3 days you are out the door. I'm honest and longhauling isn't me. Truth?

Asked by Kevin over 10 years ago

depends on the cab company but there is a lot of pressure to keep up with the average however I work for YCS and do not longhaul and I have no problem keeping up with the average as long as you get out there and work you will be fine

I respect that you're one of the HONEST drivers out there, and I too will do the same. But unfortunately, since many drivers in Vegas are indeed longhauling, and you are expected to compete with their average and "make book", how do you rememdy that?

I applied at YCS, got hired then failed the drug test :-(. Apparently they took urine AND hair, which i was not ready for. Do u know how long i have to wait before i can reapply? also, how long was it before you never got assigned a Geo cab?

Asked by TJ over 10 years ago

I'm not sure how long until you can reapply and you will never get assigned a geo cab once you have gotten a shift, and that is completely up to you how long that takes
