Are you sure about that? I have always thought that cab drivers are self-employed and are renting the car they use to work and in a worst case they just give some percentage of their earnings to the cab owner. I never saw them as employees being paid by hour. I used to read a blog written (very well-written) by a cab driver in Montréal Léon. And Léon seemed to be so stressed out on slow nights. But anyways, we are disgressing here.

I am not sure no, i always tough they where employess working for a boss, by the hour + tips. But if im mistaken i would be glad to know.
On the agency side tough, i don't pretend to know how every agency work, but i know a bit about it :thumb: , and the model differ from one to another. If an agency has a high level of girls, but they offer incalls as much as outcalls, surprisingly incalls are more popular. So the booker/driver can drive himself the girls if needed. Those very popular agencies won't bother with a 1 hour booking on the south shore... they will drive to the usual places... core of downtown, chabrol and such... If the agency has a booker, and run only outcalls with 2 drivers, thats a different thing. Sometimes the booker can be also a driver, and they use an extra driver...
There is lots of models , but this is not for nothing agencies ask you to pay a 20 if you refuse the girl.. its the driver that get it, cause he did his job anyway...
Now i will talk only for myself... but when i was booking, i made a fixed salary by the call... if i didn't made a certain ammount at the end of the week, it would automatically be adjusted. The "adjustement" was fairly decent... drivers worked on a a similar set up but there adjustement was by the night...
