Asked by Judit about 11 years ago

They used to make you have residence in town for at least a year however therules are pretty fluid the best infor would be on the Nevada Taxicab Authority website.

Do you get paid bi weekly or weekly. Also does the company pay you with a company check?

Asked by niko79 over 10 years ago

when you first start you will be on the extra board and will receive a check from 2 of the three companies bi weekly and 1 the off week for those... once you get a shift you will be paid by whatever company you work for bi weekly with a company check

hey I just got in at yellow checker,and im about to start training soon. don was telling me the first three weeks I will be working 5 12hr shifts. my question is how hard is it to get 4-10's or 5 ten hr shifts? and what do you typically work?

Asked by vegassil80 over 11 years ago

It will be quite some time before you get four ten hour shifts they are quite limited, however five ten hour shifts should not take long at all.  I work four twelve hour days have for a couple years now i love it!

Hi Friend, I'll be visiting Vegas for the first time for visitors renting a car would be better choice or using CAB? how much a Gallon cost in Vegas?

Asked by Man about 10 years ago

I personally would say you're better off taking a taxi by the time we figure out where to park scare your bags all this way it's a lot more frustration than what its worth rent a car I believe the average price of gasoline in town is about 360

I'm a new cabbie (6 shifts) and I am not making average book per night. I'm close but no cigar. A couple of guys in my training class are making average book per night. I'm not getting as many trips as they are, but I feel I keep busy. Any tips?

Asked by Mark over 11 years ago

It depends on what shift you are working...kind of sounds like you are early days so that is what I will base the answer on.  You need to know what hotels have clubs that are working the night before for example on a Thursday morning you should head to the mandalay bay by the convention side because Wednesday nights the light club becomes "elipse" and is really popular.  The hotels with clubs on nights like this will have a lot of cabs because they are the only ones moving.  You have to remember that a lot of cabs is not always a bad sign also I found after about 10 is when the airport actually started to work kind of pointless to work there earlier unless there is a convention coming in that day or the next. I hope I helped my twitter is connected to hear I will always try to help as much as i can if you want to contact me through that channel
