Looking for More Radio-Cab Drivers
YCDC is looking for more computer-dispatched cab drivers to meet the growing business and public demand. YCDC's new automated computer dispatch system uses GPS and a combination of zonal and closet cab dispatch methods to quickly dispatch the nearest cab to the customers. There is more than enough work in the system today and increasing rapidly. Now is the time to stop "bumping the curb" and become a computer-dispatched taxicab driver.
