Samson In Washington DC (Former United Cab Driver)

Samson was one of my best taxi buddies for about ten years. He was getting involved in video productions as a way to make money. He always encouraged me to pursue my passion for photography. He believed it was a direction that could lead away from taxi cab driving. I found this photo of Samson on his Facebook account when I accepted him as a friend. It seems things are going well for Samson. He left United Cab on September 1, 2009 and he has never come back. Good for him. He is having more fun now then sitting on stand 21 all day!

I am still pursuing my photography and now have a very successful YouTube channel with Google adds on them. I am working hard on alternative forms of income. Taxi driving now requires too many hours and pays very little.

Business Is Slow A United Cab With New System

Since United Cab installed the new digital system with GPS, it has been a disaster. In the first two weeks we lost more customers then you could count. At least the call count can...it is way down. The system loses calls, misroutes calls, sends them out late, and in the first week blocked our phone lines so we lost customers. Now we are screwed. I cannot survive on three calls in an eight hour period. There is no way I can pay the lease and have any money left for me. I am considering going to Yellow Cab Of Tampa. At least they have the customers we lost.
