    I was wondering if taxi is more flexible. I cannot find any forum on it. the one taxi forum requires a non email address. I just can't find anything. can we compare and contrast?

    well on the plus side driving a taxi you make your own hours, work when you want to, and get to meet alot of cool people

    I've thought about it sometimes but people always talk me out of it saying Taxi Drivers are targets for robbery.

    I guess it depends on what city you're in though.

    I think you'll have about as much luck asking truckers about taxi drivers as asking taxi drivers about truckers. Just because both jobs involve a steering wheel doesn't mean there's any further similarities.

    My point is that you're not going to get much solid info without going to a taxi company and asking the questions.
