74 Zone
I really thought things would be picking up for the cab business by, especially considering that the price of gas is down to $1.60 and lower in some places. Look out United Nancy may want to increase the lease. I had a appointment at the VA Hospital, located at 130th and Bruce B. Downs. I was early so I went to Micky D's on 122 and Fletcher, which is the 74 stand and what is known as the gate. Sure enough there 3 cabs sitting in the parking lot. Ponch, a nickname, and two drivers I didn't know. Just as well as I couldn't understand them anyway. Shame. The point being that at 11:00 in the morning there were no calls in the eastern park of the city. Also a shame. I may drive down to the south part of Tampa and talk to some of the 21 drivers. I may try and try to locate "Gloom and Doom" Tony but hell it is always slow for him. He has been driving close to 30 years and has never had a good day.

Iknow plenty of guys like Tony. Usually it is the green drivers who tell you they are making a killing and the Oldtimers who say they are barely making their lease. Probably afraid of the IRS. I always said if they want to see what I make come drive with me for 8 hours and see what its like. They'd probably feel so bad for me they would give me a rebate check...Probably not.
