Taxi Driver Online

I had a driver overstep the mark today but he is the sort that can throw their toys out of the pram if you're not careful. Should I do something or not is the question and if so what action is appropriate.

he already has a nasty habbit of instead of sitting at the rank sitting at the end of the high street where many fares book from and grabbing them before I can send the driver whose turn it is for the job. The other day he stormed off home after I refused to let him snatch another job when he had had 2 jobs in a row and I insisted that a car who had missed out earlier got the job. He also persistently insists on calling clear before he has actually dropped the passenger off but today I gave 2 jobs out together now his was the smaller of the 2 so he ignored that and went and picked up the other job the other car was sat outside the address for 6 or 7 minutes before we realised and then had to go for the other job. I was able to make it up to the other car BUT we work as a team and share the work farely that has always been our policy and this driver is taking liberties.

What I am after is a way to get him to be a team player not Mr Greedy he does get on with the customers OK and i rarely get complaints

Any Suggestions

Get rid of him he's stealing money from you and the other drivers.

He wouldn't last long with me I'm affraid, once yes a second time, "on ya bike youth."

It doesn't appear so.

I know you are in an iffy situation where you need these cars to fulfil your work, and pay your bills, but deep down you know the answer, and that's to f*** him off.

Or just give him all the sh** work.

Get rid it will set an example to the others

If you dont require him and the other drivers can cope, sack him

Promote him sounds like a top driver ,stop being so hard on him !

Get rid of him before your other drivers start to leave or start pulling the same strokes

Logical. Don't get rid unless you have somebody to take said drivers place

lol.....so much for the comrades in arms

perhaps the driver needs educating?

Whilst i dont want to cast any aspersions of dear edders, he does seem to have already stated what he thinks this guy is.........whilst i disagree with his methods (the driver) could it be suggested this is a result of the deregulated marketplace? ......as skull would put it, rats feeding on rats?

In some businesses the guy would be rewarded for using his initiative.

Perhaps he does. So find a replacement, give him a slap to educate him and get rid
