I've noticed WAY more female cab drivers in the past few years. Why is that? (or is it just an illusion)

Asked by Seth about 12 years ago

i have been noticing that myself lately i have no idea to tell you the truth I will have to look into it

I've heard that sometimes there are doctors, lawyers, and maybe teachers who drive cabs. Do you k now if this is true or not?

Asked by Donny about 12 years ago

Absolutely true! A lot of different people drive taxi in vegas you never know who you will be riding with...I absolutely love when educated people get in the cab and we debate

What does bidding for a shift mean? I understand that when new one has to work the dog shifts, but how long before you get to work the good shifts?

Thank you. I've enjoyed your useful and to the point blog.

Asked by Ian over 11 years ago

every six months my company holds a shift bid, there is a 66% turnover rate for cab drivers so every day there are shifts available. today is my 7th anniversary at YCS my seniority when i started was 715 and I am right about 200 now over 500 people just in my 7 years gone and that was just people with more seniority than I had think about all the new guys that don't hack it. now because of this every six months they hold a shift bid every cab and every shift is available by seniority. It took me about a year and a half to get a good shift and only about 8 months to have something that I could work with

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?
