Built on top of Trenton's drivers
Giv'er isn't a fleet — there are no "Giv'er cars." Every Giv'er driver in Trenton is a licensed Class 4 cab driver, vetted and insured, looking to fill the gaps between dispatch calls. Cab drivers make more on Giv'er than going through a dispatcher because Giv'er charges zero commission — what the rider pays goes straight to the driver.
