It depends on which city you are driving..

in bigger citites you can earn minimum of $400-500 /day..

 

 

to become a cab driver, all you need is a face.

is there anybody who is driving a cab in dallas/fort worth area? i worked in gas station for 4 yrs and tired of this job. just thinking to drive a cab as a part time before my graduation.

anybody have experiences in Dallas as a cab driver.

thanks

I think having only a  face is not enuff to be a cab driver, u need brains too. I cant imagine myself driving passengers in New york or London cities,memorizing each and every cities names, rushing them to the destination via shortest route without using a street map. May be coz i dont have great sense of direction.

McLoving! don't you think you also need a good pair of hands to go with the face to be able to drive?


I dunno how the driving conditions in Dallas are. But Tina "is true" about driving hazards in mega cities.

It requires knowing whereabouts of destinations and routes, rush-hour detours, sense of timing, ability to fathom who is a good-tipping passenger to a life threatening robber and so forth.

A college boy should not find it hard though.

Hey where are all the former drivers? Deep-sea diving in the Caribbean out of their ummm...modest yachts?

Give this fellow some advice.

If you drive in NYC its minimum $1,000.00 per week but its crazy out here.

I was talking about requirement not performance, as seinfield said, All you need is a face and helps if you have seven consotants in your name...lol.

I was considering to Drive a Cab before. And Oh yeah..driving cab needs good knowledge of the direct shortest routes, hotels, points of Interest etc. Nepali people are driving cab here in Chicago and making 500-600$/wk. But, you have to work @ least 12 hrs just to come up with lease and gas.  And, if you work more rest is yours.

And Remember, Cab-Driving is the second most dangerous occupation in US according to a recent research. Retail stores workers come in first place.

i dont know about other cities but here in Chicago, You just need your Drivers' License and go thru two weeks class @ a college. After you pass the class and City Exam you will be issued a Chauffers' Lisence. No Questions asked about Work Permit.

A lot of students drive cab juss because it makes money and you are on your boss. No more Dhoti's schedule and kichkich.

Good Luck brother!
