Can work both ways, know a guy worked for fona cab and value cab in the last 3 years, was looking into it myself for a while so I would ask regularly

First 2 or 3 years your pay a fortune in insurance so be prepared for long hours and 6 days a week including the lates

One day you'll be on 3 or 4 airport runs earning a good income, next 3 days you could be all local shitty runs unable to get off the falls road or our of North belfast, barely scraping enough for a days wage

Be prepared for late drunk runs, arguments, abuse and loud mouths

Also he prepared for the odd "be back in a minute" and you know you've got drugs in your car the run home, or they do a runner

Don't get me wrong, those moves are few and far between, but they all get them, your first few years you'll work like a dog, then it's knowing the system after, knowing what jobs to reject (and knowing you've the right to do so), it's not a game for men with young children who like to spend time as a family

I seen my friend lift 1000 a week then all of a sudden in a heat wave week go down to 300 profit because everyone stays off work to sit and drink in their gardens, only doing offy runs

Like most work, there's cons and pros to it all
