What percentage of new drivers would you say, get fired for not making book? Is this the reason for the high turnover for drivers?

Asked by Rob almost 11 years ago

taxi drivers have a 60% turnover rate, the biggest reason for the high turnover is mostly the money though when you start you are on a bad shift it takes some time to make any kind of money

I just got hired with your company and have loved your advice. I am starting on the 12:30 am shift, and advice, and what can I expect to make on average on that shift. Is your pick up/drop off still good on that shift?

Asked by adunja over 11 years ago

On that shift you need to learn which clubs are open the night before and dont work the airport until about 10.  Mgm is never a bad bet after like 6 lots of checkouts.  Also a good idea to be aware of convention schedule the last day and after last day will have multiple check outs.  That shift is bad do your best to get a later shift.  That is the worse shift to be in, and the worse time of year...hang in there it gets better

How much money does a green cab driver make just starting out ?

Can you explain how the shifts work when you start out ? Are you on call ? Do you work full time right away ?

Asked by Mike almost 11 years ago

For a new driver it is tough to make money because it is difficult to get into a groove as to what works on certain nights and where and when to go to places like the airport.  When you start you will be on an early morning shift and be on what is known as the "extra board" but you will get to work as much as you want

My boyfriend has watched Taxicab Confessions. We come to Vegas often. He has a fantasy of taking my top off riding in a cab. I have always said no and stopped him when he tries to unbutton my top in the cab. If I let him have his fun, is it OK?
