Life as a cab driver During the time that I have been driving cabs I have noticed that it's good money in driving cabs and it's real laid back and cool. It has it's up days and it's down days, but should not be considered as a main income depending on the city you are in. Now don't get me wrong some cab drivers make real good money doing it but that is mainly because they have specials they have on a daily basis. For those who don't know a special is someone who call for a specific cab number or driver. In some cases that should be more rare the trip is never called over the air because the dispatcher is throwing trips. In this situation a conflict is caused between the driver and the dispatcher. Then you have those drunks who know where they going but don't wanna tell you or leave your cab smelling like a distillery and as soon as they get in you have the urge to throw up in your mouth. Due to meeting so many different people daily you see so many different attitudes and have at least 4 passengers who just have a nasty ora a week. I love driving cabs but I hate for somebody to mess with my money. Accidents, drama, etc will have me on another level because I have got so much to look forward to and you can't do anything without cash. In order for me to strive in this field I have to find a way to release this anger. My money is my way of living as a parent I am trying to avoid doing the wrong thing to maintain... Because the streets do offer more money. I would rather do something legal than illegal so this is what I'm stuck with until something else comes through..
