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
Depends on the week varies wildly anywhere from probably 2-5 a week in tips then same on wages i generally book about 2200 every two weeks
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.
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
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!
Border Patrol Agent
Do Mexican authorities help on THEIR side of the border?Security / Bodyguard
Are you expected to take a bullet that's meant for someone you're guarding?Fashion Forecaster
Are people in the fashion world as rotten as those in Devil Wears Prada?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
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
they are all over the place this is a pretty nice town there aren't to many places that you have to watch for except north las vegas and east las vegas in parts every where else is at least decent
