[Leaning Right]

I don’t know if it’s true elsewhere, but in my neck of the woods all the Yellow Cab drivers are independent contractors. So they are able to refuse trips.

And that’s happened to me. I called to book a Yellow Cab, and the dispatcher said “Okee-dokie! One is one the way.”

But no cab showed up, ever. When I called back, I was told “Oh, sorry pal. No one picked up your run.”

That caused me to have to reschedule a very important appointment. I will never, ever use Yellow Cab again.

Uber drivers are independent contractors who get 1099’s. But Uber will eventually remove them from the system for refusing rides.
