Male, 31
Ask me anything! i will be as honest as possible as to my experiences as a cabbie in las vegas since 2007. if you want a day to day on some of the happenings in the job you can also follow me on twitter, vegascab @vagascab
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 guess it depends on the driver however I would not just for the simple fact I would lose over an hour of work, unless in was worth my time money wise. That being said there is no danger in walking down freemont by yourself, not anymore than walking down the strip by yourself there is security everywhere and is very well lit. Downtown is one of my favorite places to go when I have family and friends in town you dont have anything to worry about
Share Answer: 
The first time you bid you can get a four day twelve hour shift as long as one is available...i try not to be in the yard for nore than ten minutes at a time the longest wait is fetting gas

There is a new lease option coming in the future nobody knows details as of yet, however now it depends on the company you work for. Drivers are full time employees with varying benefits depending on which company you work at. Drivers at some pay for fuel some do not depending on seniority booking incentives etc. The company I work for takes 65 cents for "trip charge" 0 fuel cost for driver, and up to 44%
