I just got back from Vegas and IT HAPPENED AGAIN! A $12.75 fare and I gave him $15 (reasonable) and he whines about it, then tells me to get the hell out of his cab when I tell him "Sry, I'm not rich." Was I too cheap? Attitude was WAY out of line!

Asked by Tim almost 13 years ago

I agree the attitude is WAY out of line, like I said before you are in no way obligated to tip a driver!  The tip here is a little over 10% I myself would like to have more but I understand when it doesnt happen.  You were definatly not to cheap if this happens again and it offends you call the taxi authority and report the driver!!

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 12 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

Ive been on disability a little over 3 years because of spine issues and 2 surgeries. I'll be off disability soon and should pass the physical Will it be hard for me to get a job as a cab drive having not worked for 3 years and my former disability

Asked by George over 12 years ago

you should not have a problem at all...as long as you can pass the physical i think there would be some legal issues if they did not hire you!

I need 700 per wk take home. Is that realistic for a new driver working full time? Thanks for all the info.

Asked by Michael almost 12 years ago

for a new driver you will probably be coming in slightly less than this

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 almost 13 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
