Katy,See, it's OKAY to think outside the box! And I have a taxi driver whom I've made "friends" with that lets me pay half price for longer distances $45+ ...think outside the box. I'd rather spend a few extra bucks to protect my rep. A lot of these hobbyists are paranoid themselves and some so scared, so when they see a male driver, they tend to think the worst regardless if it's a brother/pal/friend/amigo.
As far as the driver situation goes, Yellow Cab is available 24/7 and I do have some numbers to a few drivers who understand and speak good English.
Also, Zebra was offering to be a driver during the ice storm. Maybe he could use some extra pocket change in the near future for his services as a good driver. Originally Posted by brownsugarbaby

Given the inherent nature of the business, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that there are going to be providers with not so clean records, and can't have a valid driver's license... for one reason or another. Originally Posted by skydiverActually, because you quoted me on your post, I have to admit that your post does make some sense to me....Other than the simple fact that I view your logic as a little flawed because it assumes that if one has, "not so clean records" with the law, one will no longer risk another illegal act...I mention that only because of the, "inherent nature of the business" which I would assume is an accepted risk according to you, more so than driving with a fucked up license.

In my opinion, it's too complicated to involve other people. I always want to drive myself, run my business myself, clean my own house, reply to my own emails, book my own appointments. It's simple when I am just depending on myself and not relying on others. No one else can run my business as well as I am. :-) Originally Posted by samantha thomThat's the best path when available.
