Enjoy it while I can. This time of year is when you can get the Sarasota/Bradenton runs and the best way to go is over the Skyway from TPA. The shame is that the taxi overlords have so demonitized this business,brie driver will work like a dog or ox the rest of the year to just pay expenses. If the company hears we made an extra five dollars, they will want it while drivers sleep in a mission or tenement row house. It was once different.
A lyft car at the Iconic sign on Florida ave downtown Tampa I have been a hack in Tampa Florida since 1995. Unlike the estimated 50% of Americans that hate their jobs, I have never had a day when I did not feel like going to work. Certainly, the last few years have not been fun because the economy fell apart like a three dollar watch. However, economies are like tides and this one is on the rebound, at a snail's pace. I would like to thank Mr. Obama for that but that would not be fair. The economy is recovering despite any fiscal policy of his. That being said - there are challenges. My job is inherently difficult. We face strange and deranged people street level on a daily basis. Taxi companies in Tampa (which are regulated) must serve the general population. We have no choice. Short fares, drunk fares, people going to buy drugs (they don't tell you that) we must pick up. Don't get me wrong, there are business people, beautiful women, great trippers, and long haul...
