In memory of Sgt. Andrew Harnett 4601 #WEWILLREMEMBER.
Work on your own hours while you support the economy with a local company. We hire the best drivers to provide excellent service.
Nice way to come back to work. This man wrote in about our Cab driver #425). As I was driving out of my neighbourhood in Sunalta a couple days ago, I saw a man stuck in some rigid snow on the side of the road, likely plowed in or hadn't moved his vehicle in a couple days. I pulled over to assist another bystander who had already gotten out to help. We worked together but it really felt like we were one person short of pushing the mazda out of the snow. Lo and behold, a gentle...man driving his cab stopped his vehicle in the road and got out to help push, allowing us the time and clearance to get the vehicle safely moving back into traffic. Everything about how the driver got out to assist was a supreme class act. I don't know what sort of commendations or rewards are provided to drivers by Checker, if any, but I really feel this man deserves one.
Oh behalf of The Checker Transportation Group drivers, staff and families, we want to wish you a wonderful Christmas and prosperous New Year.
We want to end the year with our Checker spirit. Jasmine, a Grade 12 student asked Checker if we had any electronics we need recycled. Do we ever! Jasmine's dad drives for Checker. Her father Jasvir is not only a tremendous driver (Badge 5245, Cab 964) he is a proud papa. His girl has been accepted to University of Calgary in the new Bio Medical Engineering program. She is trying to win a Canadian Scholarship for helping the enviroment. We loaded up the truck to the brim with outdated electronics that get recycled and don't wind up in the landfill. Jasmine, we wish you all the success in your uiversity career and fingers crossed you win this scholarship ERA.
***DRIVER APPRECIATION*** RAVI, Badge #2883 not only receives dozens of compliments, he donates his spare time freely to numerous causes in YYC through his lovely singing voice. The following is a compliment sent in about his outstanding service: I am writing to give feedback on my Taxi driver Ravi who drove me around all over the city from far NW to deep SE, to the hair salon for several weeks after my car accident. Ravi was always on time, polite, clean, and friendly, it meant a lot to me during such a hard time that Ravi offered me such amazing service. The company checkered cabs is lucky to have such an employee and any future bookings I have I will try to book with Ravi.
Sending out best wishes as you celebrate Diwali. To our customers, drivers and staff, lighting a lamp on Diwali will symbolize hope which dispels the darkness of despair. This is particularly significant this year. We wish you much happiness but mostly good health.
***WORLD KINDNESS DAY*** Ravi, one of our long time drivers was parked near a grocery store when a lady walked up and gave him this bag of supplies. She saw our post on helping our Veterans' Food Bank and handed him the items. She wanted no recognition or photos - just asked him to drop it at our office. Blessings to this anonymous donor, our drivers, customers and staff who have worked to fill the boxes over and over with much needed food and toiletries #choosetaxis #checkercheer #rightaroundthecorner #worldkindessday.
What a lovely shoutout we received this morning for our drivers working in #accessibletransportation. It's our pleasure but being recognized as essential means the world to us.
Lest we forget. On Remembrance Day, we acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of those who served their country and acknowledge our responsibility to work for the peace they fought hard to achieve.
For the first time, in a long time, we popped out to meet members of the business community. Thank you to Grey Eagle Resort & Casino for providing a safe space with a lot of distance between tables and hand sanitization stations strategically placed. For our dear friends from William Joseph Communications, and especially CEO Ryan, your Ryan's Roundup is legendary. Thank you for allowing us the time to speak about the importance of supporting local and the new features of our updated up. We're looking forward to your November Ryan's Roundup #choosetaxis #rightaroundthecorner.
El Presidente with his lovely little dog, which was "dog nabbed" into the cab #givemebackmydog #choosetaxis #rightaroundthecorner #supportlocalyyc.
Checker is looking for conscientious, careful drivers to help grow the team. Are you looking for flexible hours? Do you have terrific customer service? Is your driving record clean? If so, we would love to hear from you.
We want to thank Lanre Ajayi who created the Ethnik Butterfly Mask and brought it to Checker owner Kim as a one-of-a-kind lovely gift. Finally she can breathe with this mask on @Ajayi Olanrewaju Olabode
When your boss' dog matches your hair. Everyone say hello to the cutest little pup ever. He is Checker Charlie and has captured our hearts (except when he tries to drive the Checker SMART car)#rightaroundthecorner #choosetaxis #cavapoo.
The verdict is in, people are loving the updated features on the Checker Cab APP. Our Parent Tracker is making life easier when you have school, activities, events and lessons and you can't be at two places at once. Many people are using this feature to track their older family members as well. Safety first #checkercab. For more info [email protected]
***PLEASE SHARE THIS & MAKE SURE YOU AREN'T SCAMMED*** We don't know which driver saved this 94 year-old woman from being scammed out of $5,000 but we grateful beyond belief. Her son sent us this letter this week. PLEASE SHARE and remind your LOVED ONES this is happening in our city. #checkercabs Crackmacs Christina Rowsell soft rock 97.7 @CBC Calgary Global Calgary Daily Hive Calgary
To our wonderful customers, fantastic drivers and staff celebrating New Years today.....Happy New Years! We love all of the extra days we get to celebrate due to our diverse work force and customer base.
Who can smell Autumn in the air? Maybe it was all the kids heading back to school today got us in the mood for a Spiced Latte. Best wishes for a terrific school year #choosetaxis #rightaroundthecorner.
Another lovely review - this time for Ehsan or Ace as we call him in the office! A shout out to the driver of cab 767 who drove my family and I to the Children's Hospital on the night of August 27 after a scooter accident. We wanted to go to the walk-in clinic but it was closing so the driver waited outside just to be on the sure side that we may need to go to the emergency room. We got back in the cab and went to the hospital. I can't thank your driver enough for his patience and friendliness. I will continue using your company when necessary!
Have you tried our Locked In Fare on the updated Checker APP? Enter your destination and it will give you the price up front. You can pay with your APP or in the cab. At Checker we give you choices #buylocalyyc #supportlocalyyc #choosetaxis.
Yes, we are pet friendly with many of our cars (but please, use a kennel or carrying case ). Give dispatch a call so they can organize a pet friendly cab for you #choosetaxis #buylocalyyc #supportlocalyyc.
You can order your ride, pay with your APP, lock in your fare, split the fare with a friend and track your family on the updated Checker APP. You can even flag a cab and still pay with your APP. We still have traditional methods of payment in the cab too #choosetaxis.
Thank you to the thoughtful customer who gave Muhammad, driver 13331 such a kind tip. During this difficult time, your generosity is greatly appreciated. Keep up the terrific work Muhammad #choosetaxis #rightaroundthecorner #customerservice.
With the updated Checker Cab APP you can track your child's ride. Download or update the APP on your phone and their phone to watch the cab pick up and drop off with the Parent Tracker.
Another group of terrific drivers training today. Every week we schedule classes for women and men who want to drive for Checker. With this smile and his hilarious personality, someone is going to be very successful.
Some of the new features on the Checker APP include LOCK IN FARE, SHARE YOUR FARE, SHARE YOUR RIDE, PARENT TRACKER, RIDE PAY and of course, simply use your mobile device to pay for your fare when you don't want to carry cards or cash #choosetaxis.
Do you know if you flag a Checker you can use RIDE PAY and pay with the newly updated Checker APP? DL the APP, register your Credit Card and flag a Checker. We have the most cabs in Calgary, making it easy to find a Checker and now easier to pay #choosetaxis.
An empty downtown street. You don't often see this in Calgary. Thanks for keeping your distance so we all remain safe #choosetaxis.
Do you want to LOCK IN your fare before you ride? Need to track your kiddo on the way to school? Want to Share your Fare with a friend or simply pay with your APP? Download the free Checker APP for all of these features and more #choosetaxis #checkercabapp.
Jump in ladies - it's hot! This Nissan Rogue has the air con blasting and was just wiped down between customers. All of our cabs have a plexiglass shield for added protection from germs #choosetaxis.
A horrific explosion rocks Beirut so we send thoughts and prayers to our Lebanese drivers and friends. We pray you don’t have friends or family injured in this unbelievable explosion.
