Where can I get some blow

Asked by Frank over 9 years ago

Probably from a drug dealer

Have you ever had someone who needed medical attention (like someone who O.D.'d) in your cab, where you had to take them straight to the hospital?

Asked by shock g about 12 years ago

thanks for the reply. what kind for dispatch system do you have? 2 way radio or taxi tricks? the system were you can see all available trips in town from your car

Asked by pensacola cabby over 11 years ago

Both actually...but that is in my cab because i have seniority most drivers have to chose one or the other

I read that it is illegal for cab drivers to pick up fares on the strip except at cab lines. Is this current and correct?

Asked by Momatarms almost 12 years ago

yes it is they will write you multiple tickets for it actually one for impeding traffic and another for loading passengers outside the rotation of a cab stand its pretty rediculous

Thanks anyway. Thought maybe the TA had some sort of listing of all registered drivers. I am in town again next week. If I wanted to use you as a driver how would I go about it?

Asked by Diane almost 12 years ago

The TA does have a list of all drivers however i would imagine they would have trouble giving drivers bames with nothing more than initials, at least I hope the would.  If you would like me as a driver you can contact me through twitter @vagascab or through email at dustinqualls2@gmail.com, I would prefer not to give out my number on tbis site but would through eitherof those 2 channels

is there a high turn over of cab drivers in Vegas? how hard would it be for someone out of town to get hired? are their some months were you make more money then others?

Asked by pensacola cabby over 11 years ago

the average turnover for a cab driver is 60% so yea its pretty high.  if you want to be a cab driver they used to require you to have lived in the las vegas area for a year however i think all you need now is residency.  the summer months and the major religous holidays are pretty slow ie christmas easter and such, thanksgiving is not good either but other than that it's pretty good the first quarter of the year is by far the busiest

I work as a consultant and am usually gone during the week. Are there are part time/on call jobs where you can work at a moments notice? or is everything scheduled in advance?

Asked by Adiosboy1 over 11 years ago

Not at YCS where i work, however one of the others might i am not sure
