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 about 11 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!

When credit card machines were installed in cabs, did you see your tips increase, decrease, or stay about the same as before?

Asked by Cole-train over 11 years ago

They have gone slightly down just because of the "voucher" fee.  There is a $3 service charge to use a credit card in a cab that is refered to as a voucher which most people think we share in.  One more reason is that we used to frequently get a $20 bill for a ride that was say $15.50 now we get like 20-30% which is still not bad but not $4.50. 

hey im looking to start driving I read that u mad 40k+ before tips, out of curiosity what do you estimate your annual tip income to be? also if my driving record is spotless do you ting a felony arrest(not conviction) would hinder me getting a job?

Asked by vegassil80 over 11 years ago

As long as you were not convicted you are fine, the driving record does not have more than five points you should be fine the total income is hard to say since tips vary widely from day to day
