Since my last post, many interesting things have been going on in the industry regarding Palm Beach County. Last week we had an industry meeting regarding the changes proposed by the vehicle for hire and many things were discussed including fee changes for newcomers to the industry. Obviously this is a way for the county to make money to pay for their expenses regarding the vehicle for hire account. The good news for all licensed people in the county prior to the new ordinance changes is that they will be grandfathered in. There are many unusual changes that they are planning to make, but for present owners and operators, this will be a good thing. Your company that you put your blood, sweat and tears into will be worth something. The only downside part of the new changes are that the fees will be going up. Obviously, in this economy that is an inevitable thing. Right now, nothing is set in stone and is still in the boards hands. My current pet peeve is that the illegals are still operating without consequences. There are rules to be followed and they are not following them. Honestly, the book should be thrown at them for operating illegally. We shall see what happens!
