Discount Cab Total Transit Newbie Can't make money Old Timers make little Glendale, Arizona

This is insane! You see these green cabs everywhere! They place adds saying business is booming & there is money to be made. The people seem nice & helpful. They have quality training & people. You go through 16 hours of training & put you on the road as a Independent Contractor for 12 hours a day. Looks like everything is in place to make good money. I'm a hard worker & I don't work for slave pay but this is what happened to me. I started on Thursday & the car broke down so they reversed the lease for that day because they could not replace it. Friday made $40 but if I had to pay for 2 days I would be in the hole for $60.00 Worked Saturday & Sunday Gave them $90.00 newbie Start up Coupons & was still $49 in the hole Monday made $5.00 Tuesday Made $27.00 Total profit for 48 hours $32.00 but still owe them $28.00 I have come to realize the only ones making money here is Discount Cab leasing their cab! Not even their instructors can figure this out. They say I'm doing everything right. Their positive attitude covers up the harsh realty that they have recruit drivers because they have many driver turnovers. In other words more cabs than fares. Most of the fares are vouchers that makes little. I can't find any old cabbie making over $100 a day yet they claim new drivers earn more than $150 a day average. This is impossible at least in the "slow summer" I worked the whole 12 Hours each day no breaks. Bottom line this is a scam Discount Cab is the only ones making any money here.
