I work in a small central Massachusetts town as a taxi driver. Currently, my employer is charging us drivers 30% "Rent" for the vehicles. My take-home pay this week was under $100.00. That's right, under one hundred dollars. The question is: are there other taxi companies who also charge vehicular rent?

Robert;

I am by any stretch of the imagination (NOT) any sort of an authority on the law but it seems to me (as a concerned American) that it would behoove you to contact the Better business Brue (BBB) “a free service” or a Law firm of some authority “not always free” to find out if this is an ethical practice and or if the cab company is within the law to pull this sort of scam on you. This looks like greedy business to me. The bill of rights and the freedom act seem to be in clear violation to me. If they are charging you rent then they should also be paying tax or the rent they charge you as well. If they are not then they will be guilty of tax evasion as well. Robert I believe that you and your comrades have legal authority and reason to take this mater to small clams court or to a higher court to get your money and &100.00 a week after tax is far below the minimal waged laws as well! I say “Burn them”! you might end up owning the company!

Robert, I don't know if are there other taxi companies who also charge vehicular rent, but I do know that there are other ways to make $100+ not per week but per DAY than to drive a taxi car. But that of course if you want to be your own boss.
