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
I am not sure what the answer to this question is, however I do know that there is a biohazard crew that has to clean them with whatever it is they use that is mandated by OSHA for the health and safety of the public. Im sure if you check out osha they might have the answer. The taxicab aurthority checks out the cabs on a monthly basis so at least every month
Maybe...probably going to be more like sunday-thursday
Not really, im 6'3" 285 Im not easily intimidated
I try to not let it get to that point but if it does you get out of line and go...multiple cab stands airport included have restrooms set up for drivers
Bowling Alley Attendant
What do bowling alleys do to keep those nasty shoes clean/sanitary?CPR Trainer
Is it possible to perform CPR on animals?CrossFit Coach
Why is Crossfit so popular with women?Cab companies pay in between 40-50% of what you make on the meter the company I work for starts you off at 40% and works it way up to 43.5% depending on your seniority however because we do not get paid 50% of the meter we do not have to pay of gas like the companies that do so if its busy its about the same on a slow night however my company is much better in my opinion. Limo drivers make most of their money on the "side" which means strip clubs and massage parlors and sugh. A good night for a cabbie is 24+ rides or a little more than 2 rides per hour.
If you hustle and work hard this is before tips 4-5 days a week...i made 44k last year before tips
I have seen a couple of drivers doin this and it made absolutely 0 sense to me just more work. As to what your friend says about making the meter run up faster, at least in vegas, it is absolutely not true. Meters in a Las Vegas cab run by time if the cab is going less than 8mph and it is set by time it goes up 20 cents like every 30 seconds or so whatever equalls up to $30/hr. I myself dont do this and don't know why anyone would.
