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
every six months my company holds a shift bid, there is a 66% turnover rate for cab drivers so every day there are shifts available. today is my 7th anniversary at YCS my seniority when i started was 715 and I am right about 200 now over 500 people just in my 7 years gone and that was just people with more seniority than I had think about all the new guys that don't hack it. now because of this every six months they hold a shift bid every cab and every shift is available by seniority. It took me about a year and a half to get a good shift and only about 8 months to have something that I could work with

Share Answer: 
They have gone slightly down just because of the "voucher" fee. There is a $3 service charge to use a credit card in a cab that is refered to as a voucher which most people think we share in. One more reason is that we used to frequently get a $20 bill for a ride that was say $15.50 now we get like 20-30% which is still not bad but not $4.50.
