Headed For The Gate
Listening to the cab radio yesterday you would have thought someone else was driving cab #497. I was up in the "Gate" and taking calls off of stand 73 and 74. Why? Business sucks.
All the south-side stands are just full of drivers looking for the "slim pickings" that seem to be the only thing to bid on anymore.
This used to be a good gig. Now, with the Haitians that can't find Dale Mabry without a GPS, and the drivers that rip off customers and long route them, the drivers that can't find nothing and blow off calls and give people a hard time, no wonder nobody calls us anymore. You would have to be from a Third (Turd) World Nation to think 80 hours a week, 7 days a week to make $200 is somehow a good deal.
As long as the only requirement to getting a cab license is being alive, this will continue.
People wonder why I don't do a lot of cab stories anymore. Thais because there is no joy on Mud-ville
At least on the North side of town, you still have some volume to at stay alive, but that's about it.
