Are you allowed to pick up fares anywhere or only at Vegas hotels?

Asked by chris over 12 years ago

Well mostly at hotels however, we pick up all over the city not just at hotels. the law just states that a cab can not impede traffic to load or unload passengers, so i'm sure in the spirit of the question that you are asking yes just at hotels.

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 about 11 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

Great blog! I'm scheduled to begin driving taxi in Las Vegas beginning Monday July 15th for the same company I believe you are working for, YCS. Your posts were very helpful and informative. Thank you! I will be following you on twitter.

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

Asked by Chuck over 11 years ago

Yes we do...most companies offer a benefits package, however doesnt obama care take effect soon?

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. almost 12 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.

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
