How do taxi drivers get paid? Do you rent the cab for a price and then just get to pocket whatever fares you pick up?

Asked by Bleating over 13 years ago

I wish!! In las vegas you must work for a company and they are all different but pay their drivers based on commission. A driver depending on which company a driver works for they receive 39-50% of what they put on the meter plus tips.

How often do passengers ask if you can help them score drugs?

Asked by topchopper over 13 years ago

Almost everyday actually, sometimes multiple times a day. I just ssy i dont know what you are talking about and carry on with the ride.

I also drive in Vegas, what are some tricks to making top dollar during your shift, i may see you in the pit bros.

Asked by mike o malley about 13 years ago

Actually the more of a sarcastic asshole that I am to people thebetter tips I get.  I actually have found that i make the most money by just picking up wherever I drop, there is way to much time waisted looking for something that is working.  

I'm thinking about moving to Vegas. Which company is the best to drive for? Is it easy to get a job driving a cab there??? Thanks!

Asked by Sally about 13 years ago

They are all about the same...the pay structures differ slightly but so does how you pay for gas, it is extremely easy to find a job as a driver

Do you love or hate when passengers wanna chat with you?

Asked by heyarnold over 13 years ago

Love it! Its pretty uncomfortable to ride in silence! However that being said I will not hold a conversation that makes 0 sense I give them 1 chance then I tell them they are broken and have lost their talking privileges for the remainder of the trip.

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 over 12 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.
