Detroit Cabbie

So, you think you want to drive a hack, commonly known as a taxi cab, or more recently, become a Uber driver, huh? Well, before you rush out to get your chauffeur's license, and hurry to your area’s cab company while looking for an easy job, read the tales in this short book to get an idea what hacking is actually like.
When standing on a curb attempting to flag a cab, have you ever wondered what that driver has been through before he picked you up? Do you want to know? Well, come with me on an adventure revealed in the pages of this short narrative. You'll laugh, maybe cry, be surprised, or maybe repulsed, but you won't be bored.
Keep in mind that many of the stories contained here in, are fabrications of fictional events, although, some are fictionalized recreations of actual events as experienced by me, and other cabdrivers. To protect the identity of the many drivers who passed their stories on to me, a driver for many years, the names were changed.
It's a relatively short read, so enjoy.
