Abraxi Taxi Hiring Manual

We hire both lease and shift drivers.As a lease driver you get to keep the car and can work
when you want.Great option if you do not own a vehicle.A shift driver will work a 12 hour shift
at the discretion of the dispatcher and availability of shift cars.
Financial obligations are paid daily to the owner and late payments may incur a fee.Pricing varies
so choose wisely.Unfortunetly we need to have some structure so listed below are some guidelines.

The dispatcher is a god worship accordingly.
You need to have a good phone with great service.
Next to the taxi you are driving a smart phone is
your best friend.Need to find a certain pickup and
the dispatch is busy?Try Google maps.
This is a workplace so please leave your significant
other home.Absolutely no extra riders!
The more information you give to the gods the more
money you will make.
Keep your statements brief.For example I have a pickup
from downtown going to the beach.When you drop your precious
cargo tell the dispatcher something like this,clear on beach
headed downtown.When you get downtown call in and say clear.
Or perhaps you want to stay on the beach that is fine just
let the almighty know.
When you accept a call you are committed to it no exceptions.
Failure to complete this quest will have severe consequences
of biblical proportion.
If you only get sent home for breaking this commandent you
still will be responsible for payment.
Other high sins include sneaky,greedy,and whining.So please
play nice and be fair.Some shifts can be slow and you might
need to generate your own business.I suggest you befriend
some customers and become their personal driver.
Unfortunately we are mortal and can not nor should not work
more then 12 hours per day.Sometimes your regulars will need
a ride when you are sleeping so try to cover with a shift partner
or have them call dispatch.
Abraxi Taxi accepts credit cards so please open a bank account
and sign up with square or intuit.
Try to have your communication device with you at all times
whilst working.
Cabs should be picked up clean and will be returned the same.
Check all fluids and body condition daily.Do not take vehicle
if you notice any dents or dings alert the dispatcher,and have
them enter this in the daily log.This is for your protection.

Gypsy cabs out of control

It has been a long time since Saint Augustine has had safety check points.Besides getting drunk drivers off our roads an added benefit was making sure drivers were licensed and insured.
As a taxi driver these sure were a pain in the butt:however,they made sure I had the proper medallion,insurance and whatever the city required me to have.
  Yes these checkpoints were a hassle but Abraxi taxi would sure like them back.The gypsy cabs and the companies that employ them are out of control.
Taxi insurance is very expensive and the companies who cheat have an unfair advantage.For those of us who play by the rules I feel that we should be protected against unfair business practices.An example must be made for those that scam the system.And it should be swift and draconian.
The medallion the city of Saint Augustine requires comes at a mere fifty dollars per year.Taxi owners in other cities can pay several hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Competition is healthy but when others tilt the playing field to benefit them it is like giving the one finger salute to all the legitimate companies trying to run an honest small business and spitting in the face of law enforcement including our elected officials.
Abraxi Taxi says bring back the checkpoints to make Saint Augustine safer.And,protect the interests of us small business owners trying to run successful,legal taxicab companies and related services.
For those found cheating impound the cars and terminate any and all licenses they may have been granted.I am fine with steep fines and even jail time for a second offence.Drawn and quartered and drug behind our quaint horse and buggies I could endure.
Let's get proactive before we have an incident that involves these inglorious bastards.Thank you from StevenabraxitaxiCiccantelli.

Saint Augustine and New Years Eve Taxi Service

This will a very busy night for cab companies across the United States and especially Saint Augustine and Saint Johns County Florida.
Some companies will take reservations others will not.Google your taxi service soon and try to leave your favorite pub or restaurant before 2am to ensure a taxicab is available to get you safely home.
Normally we at Abraxi Taxi take credit cards but because of the high demand for taxis and the overloaded Wi-Fi services this will be impossible.Bring plenty of cash,leave before bar closings or risk being stranded for awhile.
Enjoy our town and all we have to offer.Drink responsibly if driving;call a cab if you need a designated driver.We will be taking reservations for large parties and please heed my advice.904-599-6666

Saint Augustine Taxi Musings

Well the weather has been cold and nasty but Preston Pohl should warm things up next week when he comes back home.
Come downtown early and enjoy the Night of Lights and a cocktail or two.
Then call Abraxi Taxi to see Preston Perform at the Standard Friday December 20th.
If no taxi service is available the Standard is just a short walk over the Bridge of Lions.
So if you find yourself in historic Saint Augustine Florida;
after it be a Holly Jolly Trolley or a spooky ghost tour come over to the island mon and get down with Preston Pohl.
