I respect that you're one of the HONEST drivers out there, and I too will do the same. But unfortunately, since many drivers in Vegas are indeed longhauling, and you are expected to compete with their average and "make book", how do you rememdy that?

I'm going to try and get on board with a cab company. I've been reading online stories of how cabbies are expected a "high book" of you and if you are on the low end for like 3 days you are out the door. I'm honest and longhauling isn't me. Truth?

Asked by Kevin over 12 years ago

depends on the cab company but there is a lot of pressure to keep up with the average however I work for YCS and do not longhaul and I have no problem keeping up with the average as long as you get out there and work you will be fine
