Chicago Taxi Driver Diary 12-18-2011
Yesterday, I leased a cab for 24 hours. My company only had one. I had a few things happen that has made me want to get out of this taxi business. First, the fact that I had 1 cab to choose from. If I hadn’t arrived around 5:00 a.m. in the morning, I probably wouldn’t of had that choice. The second issue is when I got the cab, the engine light was on. I took it to the garage to have the foreman look at it. He opened the hood, took out three electrical wires, waited about three minutes, and hooked it back up. The engine light wasn’t on (This is a little trick of theirs). As soon as I hit the highway, the engine light came back on. Not only … Read entire article »

The Chicago Cab Driver Diary Dec. 16, 2011
There is a lot of interest I notice in finding out what cab drivers make. I’ve decided to give those that are curious about the life of a cab driver and the income over the next 30 days. Yesterday was my first day back to driving a cab since school let out. There were no 24 hour cabs available for lease. So, I had no other option but to lease a 12 hour cab. Here is an account of my shift activity. Lease – $60.00 Gas – $11.00 Airport stamps – $40.00 Expenses – $111.00 Fare $39.40 (credit card) $44.00 $15.00 $14.94 (credit card) $19.00 $10.00 $11.06 (credit card) $35.00 Credit card total + $62.13 (minus 5%) Cash – $123.00 Total Income – $185.13 Expenses – $111.00 Total Income – $74.13 Average Income Per Hour (12 hour shift) – $6.17 … Read entire article »

Mayor Emanuel is Naive about Chicago Cab Drivers
If Mayor Rahm Emanuel knew anything about the taxi industry in Chicago, he might think twice about his taxi reform. Does he really think cab drivers want to work more than twelve hours a day? Cab drivers work more than twelve hours of day because that is what it takes to even earn a decent living. The city wants to do away with the twenty-four hour lease because cab drivers are using the?vehicles?for personal use. This is one example of how out of touch Mayor Emanuel is. It’s not that cab drivers are leasing the cab twenty-four hours to use it for personal use. Cab drivers are leasing the cab for twenty-four hours because of supply and demand. There is a greater demand for cabs because of the supply of chauffeur … Read entire article »
