The reason we dont give to 1st car is because average rank fare is £4-10 and sometimes youll get a out of town fare so if youve been waiting on rank for about a houre hoping for a good fare and you get pulled off to do a local 3.50 fare so thats why we do last.

Why doesn't the job get offered to the first car, if he chooses to refuse it then to the second and so on?

It just seems weird that the chap at the back, who has clearly just done a job, gets the next one. :?

I guess it must be some strange notion that if you have spent x ammount of time queuing on the rank to get to the front, then you will get a better job from there than anything coming out of the office.
