I also drive in Vegas, what are some tricks to making top dollar during your shift, i may see you in the pit bros.

Asked by mike o malley almost 11 years ago

Actually the more of a sarcastic asshole that I am to people thebetter tips I get.  I actually have found that i make the most money by just picking up wherever I drop, there is way to much time waisted looking for something that is working.

Are you allowed to pick up fares anywhere or only at Vegas hotels?

Asked by chris about 12 years ago

Well mostly at hotels however, we pick up all over the city not just at hotels. the law just states that a cab can not impede traffic to load or unload passengers, so i'm sure in the spirit of the question that you are asking yes just at hotels.

Do you love or hate when passengers wanna chat with you?

Asked by heyarnold about 11 years ago

Love it! Its pretty uncomfortable to ride in silence! However that being said I will not hold a conversation that makes 0 sense I give them 1 chance then I tell them they are broken and have lost their talking privileges for the remainder of the trip.

Great blog! I'm scheduled to begin driving taxi in Las Vegas beginning Monday July 15th for the same company I believe you are working for, YCS. Your posts were very helpful and informative. Thank you! I will be following you on twitter.
