That was easy!

I'm really surprised by how easy it was to become a cab driver.  One day I decided that I was tired of the little part time job I was working.  So I started searching Craigslist .  I noticed there was an ad for a cab driver for Bluestar Taxi.  I knew they were the largest cab company in town and that the were also owned by the same people who owns Regal  Limosine.

I sent them an E-Mail and was promptly sceduled an interview.  Once I was done with the interview, I filled out the forms for my hack permit and criminal check.  Everything came back clean.  Two weeks later I was given about 2 hours of training.   Then I was swimming with the big fishes.

Well Ive been driving this cab for about a month now.  What can I say....I love it!   Though I havent seen anything real crazy yet, I have came across some interesting people.  My first fare was 4 sailors that worked on a cable laying ship.  I took them to the liqour store, The 5th Wheel (porno shop or butt naked store  as the called it), and the movies.  I have been invited up to a hotel room, an apartment and a couple bars.  Ive taken a couple old ladies to church.  Not to mention all the drunks Ive brought home.  Heck I think Ive even seen a mariage unravel in the back seat.  But through it all I think that it is a great experience and I look forward to my next shift!

New Adventures

Well, I have been driving now for 2 weeks.  I absolutely love it!    Already I have meet some interesting people.  I have been invited to party in a hotel room, and up to a drunk ladies apartment.  I met a gentleman who claimed he spent the evening drinking it up with Chip Kelly(Oregon U. head football coach). 

With that said, I definantly need to learn my way around Portsmouth a whole lot better.  I thought I knew it pretty well.  I know landmarks but I dont know the name of lots of streets.  But I think Im getting better.

Im new at this blogging thing too.  If you happen to be lucky enough to be reading this I promise to get better at this.  I also promise that I will start giving specific stories of what goes on in my cab!

Newbie

Well this is it.  My first post on my new blog!  My name is Robert and I just started my taxi driving career here in Portsmouth NH.  I only drive on Friday night and Sunday afternoon/evening.  It all started when I realized that I was getting tired of my former part time job.  (working in a covenient store) Ive always liked the thought of going somewhere.  Being that im married with two kids I really cant go to far.  So I thought maybe being a cab driver would be the way to go.

This past weekend was my first week on the job.   I love it!  I will do my best to add to this once a week.
