Have you ever had someone who needed medical attention (like someone who O.D.'d) in your cab, where you had to take them straight to the hospital?

Probably from a drug dealer

I read that it is illegal for cab drivers to pick up fares on the strip except at cab lines. Is this current and correct?

Asked by Momatarms over 11 years ago

yes it is they will write you multiple tickets for it actually one for impeding traffic and another for loading passengers outside the rotation of a cab stand its pretty rediculous

thanks for the reply. what kind for dispatch system do you have? 2 way radio or taxi tricks? the system were you can see all available trips in town from your car

Asked by pensacola cabby over 11 years ago

Both actually...but that is in my cab because i have seniority most drivers have to chose one or the other

With a family of four, how much does someone need to pull in annually to live comfortably in Vegas? I'm considering some job opportunities in the area.

Asked by The DAO over 11 years ago

Depends on what your definition of "comfortably" is...but I would say that at least 30k I would venture to say 35k would be almost average salary here. However that is just a guess...i made almost 40k driving last year before tips.

I am from the East Coast (NYC) and want to relocate and drive a cab....Drove one in NYC when I was in school...so I am used to the insanity of it all. What is the best way to get acquainted with the layout of Vegas?

Asked by Codymeister about 11 years ago

the town is really simple espedially since 90% of your rides start of end either on the strip or airport anything else its a grid just like nyc but I would suggest a gps

Thanks anyway. Thought maybe the TA had some sort of listing of all registered drivers. I am in town again next week. If I wanted to use you as a driver how would I go about it?

Asked by Diane over 11 years ago

The TA does have a list of all drivers however i would imagine they would have trouble giving drivers bames with nothing more than initials, at least I hope the would.  If you would like me as a driver you can contact me through twitter @vagascab or through email at dustinqualls2@gmail.com, I would prefer not to give out my number on tbis site but would through eitherof those 2 channels
