can a 59 year old from the east coast find a job driving a cab in las vegas? I am ready now.

Asked by cmeister over 12 years ago

Yes there really is not an age limit you just have to be ready to work long hours as long as the state will give you a drivers license and you can pass a physical they will hire you

FYI....I interviewed on Thursday, told I got the job, went directly to physical, no drug test. Then TA where I took a easy common sense 15 question test. Company orintston on 25th. TA class 26th.....driving the 27th.

Do you get paid bi weekly or weekly. Also does the company pay you with a company check?

Asked by niko79 almost 12 years ago

when you first start you will be on the extra board and will receive a check from 2 of the three companies bi weekly and 1 the off week for those... once you get a shift you will be paid by whatever company you work for bi weekly with a company check

I just got hired with your company and have loved your advice. I am starting on the 12:30 am shift, and advice, and what can I expect to make on average on that shift. Is your pick up/drop off still good on that shift?

Asked by adunja almost 13 years ago

On that shift you need to learn which clubs are open the night before and dont work the airport until about 10.  Mgm is never a bad bet after like 6 lots of checkouts.  Also a good idea to be aware of convention schedule the last day and after last day will have multiple check outs.  That shift is bad do your best to get a later shift.  That is the worse shift to be in, and the worse time of year...hang in there it gets better

I'm writing a television series in which the main character is a taxi driver in Las Vegas. I'm from the east coast and I've never been to Nevada. Can you briefly explain how you go the job and what it's like (what is the culture)?

Sounds like a fun project, feel free to e-mail me any questions at dustinqualls2@gmail.com

I'm a new cabbie (6 shifts) and I am not making average book per night. I'm close but no cigar. A couple of guys in my training class are making average book per night. I'm not getting as many trips as they are, but I feel I keep busy. Any tips?

Asked by Mark almost 13 years ago

It depends on what shift you are working...kind of sounds like you are early days so that is what I will base the answer on.  You need to know what hotels have clubs that are working the night before for example on a Thursday morning you should head to the mandalay bay by the convention side because Wednesday nights the light club becomes "elipse" and is really popular.  The hotels with clubs on nights like this will have a lot of cabs because they are the only ones moving.  You have to remember that a lot of cabs is not always a bad sign also I found after about 10 is when the airport actually started to work kind of pointless to work there earlier unless there is a convention coming in that day or the next. I hope I helped my twitter is connected to hear I will always try to help as much as i can if you want to contact me through that channel
