Description of jobs at IM TAXI

Business description

Taxi

One of the basic and most important role of a taxi is to take our customers safely and comfortably to their destinations.

About one or two decades ago, there used to be many customers using taxis at night or for business purposes. Nowadays, many of our customers are elderlies, pregnant women, and parents with their children. We are receiving many orders and reservations by phone which make up about 75% of our daily operation, the highest level in the town.

It takes a lot of energy and time for elderlies to transport from one place to another, and the number of such elderlies is increasing in this aging society. For them, taxi is essential for visiting hospitals or going shopping. As our company policy states, we wish to live together with our customers, and we take a great responsibility in providing daily transportation means to our customers.

Wheelchair accessible taxi

Elder-care taxi

IM TAXI provides a special service for customers who are authorized to use public nursing care service. Our drivers who are qualified as home care workers will support such customers to visit hospitals according to the care plans drawn by their care managers.

We will be using a normal vehicle or a wheelchair accessible vehicle depending on the condition of the customer.

Wheelchair accessible taxi

IM TAXI provides a support for customers who are not authorized to use public nursing care service but need to use a wheelchair or a stretcher or have some kind of disabilities. We help them visit hospitals and nursing care facilities, or help them go shopping.

It requires extra care to provide this service, but our drivers are more than happy to support their customers and to see them pleased.

Work style

You can either choose to work in daytime or work in shifts.

If you choose to work in daytime

You come into office at around 7:00 to 8:00 in the morning depending of your daytime shift. Customers are likely to start using taxis at around 7:30. You are likely to be most busy at around 8:00 to 11:00, driving to hospitals for elderly customers, driving to grocery stores for customers who do not drive cars, or driving to companies or stations for customers visiting the town for business purpose.

After 11:00, there will be many customers who need a ride home from a hospital. You take your lunch in the early afternoon, which is when the number of customers start to decrease. You are likely to be least busy from 14:00 to 15:00, so you can either take a break time or finish your job and go home depending on your shift. You will get busy again from 15:00, and you will finish your job and go home in the early evening.

If you choose to work in shifts

You will be working five straight days and taking one day off. For example, let’s say you come into office at 9:00 and worked until 20:30. In the next shift, you come into office at 16:30 and work until 2:30. Next, you work from 17:00 to 2:30, and after that you work from 20:00 to 8:00. After working these shifts, you will have one whole day off.

You will be having different working hours every day, but you will have plenty of time to sleep and rest. You can also make use of your free time between shifts. Many of the drivers at IM TAXI choose to work in shifts.

If you choose to work in an elder-care taxi

The work style of an elder-care taxi driver will be the same as that of a daytime driver of a normal taxi. You will be serving the customers, who need a support and are authorized to use public nursing care service, while driving them to and back from a hospital. You will be using a normal vehicle or a wheelchair accessible vehicle depending on the condition of the customer. In your spare time, you will be working in a normal taxi, but more than 90% of our customers are likely to be elderlies who need a ride to hospitals or nursing care facilities, or a ride to go shopping.

Working in both elder-care taxi and normal taxi will enable you to make more money. For example, one of the most efficient ways to make money at IM TAXI is to work in an elder-care taxi in the morning and in a normal taxi in the afternoon.

Wage

You will be paid a fixed salary and a percentage pay in addition to that.

What is most significant about our wage system is that you will be paid more depending on your sales. The more you work hard, the better you will be paid. This enables our employees to keep their motivation high.
