What's the biggest tip you ever received?

Asked by J-n-Dub about 12 years ago

The biggest single tip i got was from a couple of kids that were not allowed to fly for bringing cocaine on a plane so i took them round trip from vegas to huntington beach california for a tournament. it was $1600 and they doubled the fare.

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

Asked by Chuck almost 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. about 11 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.

As a new driver how about getting a shift like thu-sun or wed-sun?

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

Asked by anon about 11 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
