Class code 7370 — Taxicab Company
Operation and dispatching of taxicabs, including vehicle maintenance staff.
This classification is specific to taxicab companies, covering the operation and dispatching of taxicabs along with vehicle maintenance staff who keep the fleet running. It applies to businesses whose core operation is providing on-demand taxi transportation to the public.
A typical operation includes drivers responding to dispatched calls or street hails, dispatchers coordinating vehicle availability and routing, and maintenance personnel handling routine repairs and upkeep on the fleet. Unlike scheduled services, taxi drivers deal with unpredictable routes, varying traffic conditions, and frequent stops throughout a shift.
Because taxis operate heavily in urban, stop-and-go traffic and interact directly with the public throughout the day, exposure includes both collision risk and occasional incidents involving passenger conduct. Maintenance staff add a different kind of exposure, including strains and hand injuries from routine vehicle repair work performed to keep cabs on the road.
