I have 2 friends that work in Las Vegas as cab drivers and they tell me on average they may get like 8-10 rides per day while another person who works as a cab driver gets daily like 30 rides per day........

How is that possible???? I know there

Asked by nikki almost 12 years ago

Depends on how they chose to work...I average more rides than most drivers because i tend to load wherever I drop off as opposed to having a favorite spot to go to say like the airport and spending a lot of time driving around without someone in the backseat. Some drivers this is all they do is go to the airport from the time they start until the time they finish so they not only spend upwards of an hour to load there but they take 10-15 minutes to drive back there. It also depends on when they work during the day...the driver that drives my cab opposite me averages probably 10-15 less rides a day

How often to the back seats get cleaned? What do they get cleaned with?

Asked by anon almost 12 years ago

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

Which Cab Companies pay the best....and or LIMO ????

How can a cab driver get more rides???

Whats a good night for a Cab driver as far as total rides per say???

Asked by nikki almost 12 years ago

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.
