Ready to get back to work?
Med City Taxi and Yellow Cab of Rochester are searching for entrepreneurs who are ready to get back to work and want to be their own boss. Why put miles and wear and tear on your car driving for companies whose names rhyme with Goober or Grift, when you can drive our cars.
Drivers have unlimited earning potential; however, the average driver will gross $15 per hour. Knowledge of the City of Rochester, ability to meet customer needs, and positive customer service skills will assist you in earning above the average. Drivers are able to take home their earnings every day or save it for a bi-weekly payment.
This position is an independent contractor, you are responsible for fuel at the end of the day, and other payments, taxes, and fees that are normal for this kind of position. This allows you a great tax advantage as most fees and expenses of this kind are deductible from your taxes*.
A great taxi driver is someone who is willing to go above and beyond for the customer, has a great knowledge of Rochester and the surrounding area, and is a safe and courteous driver.
