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 10 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 had a cab driver rear end my car near the strip and am less than pleased with the evasiveness of their third party insurance adjuster. Is it common for them to diminish or deny claims if they can get away with it?

Do you need to take a test before you get a job like a taxi driver in Vegas? Or what are the requirements ?

Asked by Sammy over 11 years ago

There is a test you have to take, its fairly simple and most companies run a prep class...they used to require you lived in the valley for a minimum of a year however that gas been lifted recently. The only other qualification really is no dui and a heartbeat lol
