303 TAXI 303 TAXI DRIVERS ARE STARVING AND BROKE AT THIS COMPANY. chicago, Illinois

who barely has enough after a 500 a week lease (!) to get by. he cant even afford to eat and has borrowed money from family members to get by. who runs this place? when his transmission fell apart he couldnt even get a loaner cab. come on, this whole scene sounds like a major rip off for any young person who works there. so totally unprofessional. unbelievable.

Ive been with 303 for just under a year now and im doing great and almost everyone of the drivers that i talk to everyday are doing pretty well themselves..no matter how a cab driver is doing they will always say its slow.. 303 has been good to me the dispatchers are great always willing to help you out when needed..(esp. Brandon who works over nights)I moved to the chi area a year ago with no job and since then i have furnished my enitre apartment paid all my bills and put food on the table with the money i make driving for 303..If you put in the time and are friendly your client base will be through the roof...just sayin

I am sorry to hear that you did not have a pleasant experience working with 303 TAXI dispatch service. I am sure that you are a very hardworking and passionate individual, and it is likely our loss that we do not have you on our fleet. I can tell you with confidence, however, that we have hundreds of drivers that have been able to make a good living with 303 TAXI, since its start in 1946. To be honest, we sometimes struggle with covering all of our orders, during the busy times, and could use even more drivers. If a driver was not making a decent income, there would be no reason for them to stay with us, just as you decided it would be to your benefit to leave. Also, perhaps you were given the wrong information, as one of the owners does live in Chicago, and a second owner spends about half the month in Chicago. In addition to the owners, there a few managers and office staff that are available to independent cab drivers 7 days per week. We certainly try to keep our training organized and guide the cab operators in a structured matter, but if you have any advice on how to improve based on your own experience, I invite you to come speak with me personally. We are not perfect, and we always appreciate constructive feedback, especially from intelligent individuals such as yourself. Thank you for the post, it is important for us to hear both positive and negative feedback in order to improve.
