Guest Speaker: Wes Gaedke, West Bend Taxi Service

Wes Gaedke, the Regional Manager for the West Bend Taxi Service, came in on November 20, 2014. Wes explained to the students that the taxi service is more complicated than anyone assumes. There are a copious amount of people that use their taxi service in one day. Commonly it is around 350-500 people with 14 taxis altogether. Of these people, 75% are handicapped or elderly, 8% are students, and the last 17% are any other people. The taxi drivers are their own bosses and in charge of their expenses. They get their assignments from the dispatchers though and whoever is closest gets it.
