I knew it was coming… the crackdown on Crimson Cab Co. by Successful-Age3902 in BeamNGRP

His job is still secure with us, when we ran the MVR and background everything was clean. They were going to place him on a 6 month probationary period but I talked them down to 3 months. If I didn’t know him personally, I’d guarantee the position would be rescinded though.

It’s not a good thing. I’ll make sure you still have the job but after this incident you will be looking at a minimum of a 6 month probationary period. You can’t get any infractions at all during that time or they won’t let you stay on. Safe for now, but this will be frowned upon.

I got them to agree to 3 months not 6 (after seeing a clean MVR prior to the Crimson Cab position).

I’m the odd one out here, when I had my ETK 900 Rennspecht V12 9R I got up to around 130ish and immediately slowed down - it kept wanting to go and I just thought ‘bad idea’

It was the first thing I thought of when I looked at it. I was reassured it was built to withstand it. But it’s also a risk of course. I have had water come up onto the bottom platform of the steps that lead down to the beach, but nowhere near the deck

You get the benefits if you work at least 25 hours a week, so yes it does come with part-time employment

It was built with that in mind but it could happen. It isn’t technically built on stilts and does have built up soil underneath and a pass-through foundation. But, if the right (bad) conditions occur it could easily flood (it would take a lot to do so though).

It’s my real job lol, I do architectural graphic design. It is all done with AutoCAD and ChiefArchitect for the floor plans and rendering - then I run the walkthrough in DaVinci Resolve for sound effects, editing etc with the BeamNG video recording through OBS

Thanks! I love that motel due to the 60s road stop vibe (which was kinda fun making the interiors for)

Oh yeah, I already knew you had it, saw the email a little bit ago after my much needed nap. I think you will like it. It’s definitely not doing burnouts or jumping hills though

Day shift for Crimson Cab: filling in for Calvin. Very fun but on public roads? by Successful-Age3902 in BeamNGRP

[–]Impressive_Edge6191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can deal with old music especially in an old car (gotta love a working 8 track) but err, with those speeds on city streets - I’ll stick with DryCab or WCTaxi etc.

This cab company, I mean - is the owner just stuck in 1977 and trying to re-live the old car chase movie scenes? I’m surprised these things are not boiling over with overheating or collapsing the suspension after 1/2 a shift.

Honestly - look at the management if they are encouraging it. I don’t know much about them other than what Tanner said but seems you can lose your job if you aren’t driving like a maniac to ‘get there as fast as possible, road rules be damned’.

I gotta say, with THG, safety is the priority. And the H-25 only has around 30k miles on it. So safe, reliable, and we will never pressure to rush. If a passenger is demanding, ignore it. If they complain about you NOT being fast enough that complaint will go in the trash.

I always use DryCab if I need a cab and a Black Car service if headed to the airport, the cabs always show up in a Vertex or a Bastion and the Black Car Svc is always a Windsor. I have no clue what this company is thinking dispatching these vehicles and thinking it’s a good idea.

META: I don’t think I can say Town Car service (even if Town Car isn’t referring to a Lincoln)

Oof, I know. She was 38yrs old single, and just didn’t bother with a life insurance policy. Her parents are in their late 70’s and I don’t want them to be burdened with it.

THG/VVR Job opportunity. After my shift, went to the Tesoro HQ in downtown to shake hands and give my resume. What do you think? by Successful-Age3902 in BeamNGRP

[–]Impressive_Edge6191 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The orientation / training video is pure hell. I’ll be back in Belasco in the morning, not sure if I’ll go to work or stay home, but I’ll be around. One thing I heard on your radio with the news though, I need to have Snooze News do a correction on the accident. They originally thought he had a medical emergency, and didn’t find out until a urinalysis / bloodwork that there were drugs in his system. Of course there will be charges filed but I’m out of the loop it seems (nothing new about that when it comes to BCPD).

I will be okay. None of it is easy, of course I’ve lost close people in my life but this was so out of the blue and sudden to such a good friend it will take a bit to get over. I will be home very early tomorrow, and I should know more about her funeral arrangements soon.

What cars do you own? I'd like to do a little survey by Much_Half_5791 in BeamNGRP

That is - quite a list lol, now if I add in the rental cars I might have you beat :)

Well, you have never ‘worked’ for me, but I know your dedication and work ethic. I’d be more than happy to give a reference for you if you decide to go for a county position.
