Taxi Driver Jobs in Scranton, PA

A Taxi Driver plays a crucial role in the transportation industry by providing convenient, safe, and efficient transport services to passengers. Their responsibilities include picking up and delivering customers to their desired destinations, helping passengers load and unload their luggage, maintaining the vehicle clean and in good working condition, and adhering to traffic rules and regulations. They often serve as the first point of contact for tourists and visitors, providing critical information about the city, its landmarks, and directions.
