Hi,

My 29 year old son is thinking of moving there next year. What could he expect to make if he did? He has a felony on his record. Does that matter?

Thank you,

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 over 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
