Hey One Star
You have got the poaching thing wrong. I will never solicit an UBER rider to go with my private transpo company. That is turning my cars into Speedy cabs. Never going to happen. I don't need to. Most of the clients I get from advertising material we have left in hotels and motels. Yell-Niagara does not provide any ride that costs less than $50. That is law with a Specialty Transportation License, a minimum of $50 fare and at least one hours notice. And as to dividing my business up and giving it to my buddies. You have got that wrong. People driving for Yell-Niagara are my employees, and they are driving my cars. Likely soon to change because we are close to having more business than we can process, and I am likely going to look for drivers with cars to take up the excess. They just have to be prepared to show real insurance, not just a pink slip but the actual policy. At the moment there is not a wheel turn in any vehicles but mine. I stated before I do UBER to fill my days. I do not have anything to do with the operation of Yell-Niagara, I just own it. I set policy, and I monitor what goes on, but I stay out of its operation, unless there is a reason for it to take up my time.
By the way I do not know how many additional drivers are in Niagara , but the day before yesterday there were so many and I made $o after 9:AM. So yesterday after I took care of my regular rides, I went to Hamilton for the first time, and did very well in just over 3 hours. The rides there are consistently higher fares. Mine were $12 to $17. I would have stayed there longer, but there was a motorcycle waiting for me in my garage, that definitely needed ridden in the beautiful sunshine.
Somebody is going to say "is this guy nuts, telling us where the good ones are?" I'd rather have $6 an $7 rides here in Niagara and be done by 10:AM. I hope all the extra drivers head for Hamilton, and let me have my short rides.
This will be my last post, I don't want controversy, I'm in the game to enjoy, and I do.
