Job Description
Independent Contractor Taxi Driver - Vehicle and Customers Provided Earn Daily, Build Repeat Business and Qualify for Up to $1,000 in Bonuses! Do you enjoy driving, meeting people, and providing excellent service? Are you ready to invest the time needed to build a successful business while still having the freedom to choose the days you work? St. Louis County & Yellow Cab Company is looking for dependable, motivated professionals who want to operate their own taxi business with the support of a trusted local company. Go into business for yourself—not by yourself! We Help You Get Started Starting a transportation business on your own can require a vehicle, commercial insurance, advertising, customer acquisition, and dispatch technology. With St. Louis County & Yellow Cab Company, much of that foundation is already in place.
We provide:
A company-owned taxi—no personal vehicle required Vehicle maintenance and insurance Dispatched fares and reservation opportunities Access to corporate accounts and established customers 24/7 dispatch and driver assistance A trusted brand that has served St. Louis for nearly 90 years Hands-on business education and coaching Opportunities to earn up to $1,000 in bonuses Turn Dispatched Fares into Your Own Repeat Business We help connect you with customers—but where you take those relationships is up to you. Every dispatched fare is an opportunity to provide exceptional service and earn that customer's future business. By being safe, friendly, reliable, and professional, you can turn first-time riders into regular personal clients who request you for future trips. Over time, you can build your own base of repeat customers instead of relying only on newly dispatched fares. The relationships you develop can become one of the most valuable parts of your business. Flexibility Backed by Commitment As an independent driving partner, you choose the days you operate your business. You are not assigned a traditional employee schedule. However, flexibility does not mean that success requires only a few hours here and there. This opportunity is best suited for someone prepared to: Dedicate at least 40-50 hours per week Work full days on the days they choose to drive Maintain consistent availability Be available during times of strong customer demand Invest the time needed to develop repeat business Many of our most successful drivers choose to operate six or seven days per week, especially while establishing their customer base. Working seven days is not required, but greater consistency and availability generally create more opportunities for dispatched fares, repeat customers, and increased earnings. Start Strong with Our Launch Program No taxi experience? Our comprehensive Launch Program helps prepare you to operate your business confidently and successfully. Through hands-on education and coaching, you will learn about: Safe vehicle operation Customer service and professionalism Taxi procedures and regulations Company technology and equipment Navigating the St. Louis metropolitan area Building relationships with customers Turning dispatched fares into repeat clients Maximizing your earning opportunities Launch sessions are scheduled as full-day sessions once a partnership has been offered and you've successfully completed all pre-launch requirements, and you must attend each session for the entire scheduled day. Full participation ensures you receive the information and hands-on preparation needed to begin successfully. This Opportunity May Be aGreat Fit If You Are:
Dependable, motivated, and self-directed Friendly and comfortable working with the public Focused on providing safe, professional service Interested in building long-term customer relationships Available to make a full-time commitment Ready to treat driving as your own business—not an occasional side job Willing to work consistently to grow your earnings and customer base Driver Qualifications Qualified driving partners must: Be at least 25 years old under our insurance guidelines Possess a valid Missouri or Illinois driver's license Hold a Missouri Class E license or be willing and able to obtain one Have a good driving record Have no DUI or DWI history Meet applicable background-screening requirements Have a working knowledge of the St. Louis metropolitan area Maintain a neat, clean, and professional appearance Qualify for a Metropolitan Taxicab Commission license Successfully complete required physical, drug-testing, driving-record, and background-screening requirements Take the First Step Toward Building Your Business If you are ready to work independently, serve customers well, and dedicate the time needed to build something of your own, we would love to speak with you.
