Mr. Weaverling does, however, retain the right to discharge a driver. Independent Cab carries liability insurance on each of the vehicles. The insurance is paid for by Independent Cab. Independent Cab also pays for oil, light bulbs, etc. The drivers pay for repairs and gas.
Any major accident is also the responsibility of the driver.
A driver is free to accept a radio call from any other company. Although it has never been done, Mr. Weaverling opined that Independent Cab would provide radio and dispatch service to a driver who owned his own vehicle under another taxicab company name. It provides this through drivers. Without the drivers, Independent Cab would not be able to provide transportation, and would have no source of income. Therefore, the drivers provide a service to Independent Cab.
