I am considering becoming a taxi driver, my problem is that not every cab company would hire a person under 25 years (i am 22), I know frias does, have you heard if the company is good? what about your company YCS? how is the starting for a newbie?

Asked by Alex Cortez over 10 years ago

that company is hard to work for, for some they put a lot of pressure on you to book high...YCS i believe does now but for a newbie its pretty tough you work midnight to noon or like 2a-2p which are tough shifts to make money on

What's the biggest tip you ever received?

Asked by J-n-Dub about 12 years ago

The biggest single tip i got was from a couple of kids that were not allowed to fly for bringing cocaine on a plane so i took them round trip from vegas to huntington beach california for a tournament. it was $1600 and they doubled the fare.

Do you guys get any benefits such as dental, vision, life insurance etc...?

Asked by Chuck almost 11 years ago

Why do taxi drivers prefer cash if the meter records exactly what the fare was anyway. I used to think it was so they didn't have to report it on their taxes, but doesn't the meter create an official record that would make not reporting it dicey?

Asked by Brian P. about 11 years ago

the only reason I would think that a las vegas cabbie would prefer cash is that it is a faster transaction! Personally I could care less which one.
