In the 14 years that I have been driving a cab for United cab of Tampa, I have always been a 24 hour driver. I am now switching to a 12 hour shift driver. The reasons are easy to explain.
When you are a 24 hour or weekly driver, you are essentially married to the cab. Every day you awaken, you are on the hook for the lease. I am very tired of that. What happens is that years go by and you realize that have never taken a day off. Your life is slipping by.
Not for me.
My going shift, I can work when I want. I can make my own schedule, and I am not married to the cab. When I drop my stand dues at the end of the day, I am not commit ed to another day in the taxi. If they never see me again...oh well.
Since my 50th birthday has come and gone, I realize now that there are things I am infinitely more interested in doing then spending everyday of my life driving this taxi to make other people rich while I suffer.
I will be better off mentally and spiritually for this move.
The HCPTC is a corrupt organization and has Barnie Fife working for them.
