ANOTHER PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FOLLOW UP FROM YESTERDAY! Not sure if the video will go through on FB rules but I will try to post part of the video,

I honestly cannot believe that I needed to respond to some of these people but here I am sucked down a rabbit hole trying to defend myself and my business. This happened in May and I was just too embarrassed to say anything but people are reaching out to me because their drivers went through the same thing and they were trying to see if I was permitted to take them so I decided on the post yesterday. My only change is that this particular day I was picking him up not dropping off (I was back and forth to MCO several days that week).

If you read my article yesterday you will know what I am talking about. If you didn’t see it or don’t care that is ok. I feel compelled to write this follow up so my original message was still given through all the Bull**** comments.

My post was only intended to warn other drivers such as myself to not get caught in the same situation at MCO (Orlando International Airport)

I did have a lot of support. But people get behind their keyboards and start calling this Fake news or that I am trying to scare people to get more clients and many other things that just aren’t true. I have been called a liar, an AI bot, a tubby driver that can't get enough clients on my own or that I am just trying to get people to avoid using cheap rides to the airport. I was told that I am old and uneducated and not an entrepreneur or shouldn’t be. I was also told to just pretend clients were family or friends and let them sit in the front seat.
There were so many things that I was shocked at that people were saying.

I retired from the State of Florida after 30 years as a Firefighter and Paramedic, have a college degree and taught paramedic / EMT program at the college for those that think I am uneducated.

I started a legitimate business after retirement to keep myself busy and to earn extra money. I am not doing this to pay my bills or to feed my family. My wife and I both have great pensions that we live on. Also I am not looking on how to cheat the system or get away with still giving rides to Orlando Unpermitted or illegally.

Be careful who you listen to because most of the bad feedback I got were from other drivers trying to call me out and they were mostly not registered or do not have the proper commercial insurance and they think I was trying to " Steal their clients" I guess they skipped the part where it says I can no longer give rides to or from the airport.

I have amazing clients that I genuinely cared about how this was going to affect my service for them.

A couple of myths that I will answer that people were saying how did this even happen or how did they know you were for hire?

I was not pulled over by these people
I was out of my vehicle loading luggage and talking to my client
My business name was displayed on my back window
I was in terminal B later in the evening with very little traffic.
I did not have the required decal on display on my front windshield and all these accumulated to me getting investigated and tried and convicted all within 15 minutes.

( I DO NOT care anymore of their opinions and decided that I still wanted the people to hear the message that you need to research what is required for you to take anyone to MCO, The airport authority is spending millions of dollars to stop unpermitted or illegal drives. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH if you do not believe my story.

I put up an AI picture because I did not want to show the real pictures but that wasn’t good enough and people were trying to prove that I was all AI for the purpose of getting clicks. I am still sitting here getting mad all over again because I didn’t ever think my statement would be so misconstrued by a lot of people which I really shouldn’t even let bother me, but my nature was to always share information and help people avoid my mistakes.

BELIEVE ME OR DONT BELIEVE ME. you are free to do as you choose and sit and try to argue with everyone else on here. If you still do not believe me after I post some of the proof which I really did not want to do in the first place but here it goes against my better judgement. I don’t need anyone to come back and feel sorry for me or try to prove me wrong or still try to prove I am lying. Do your research, look at my proof, and do what you are going to do and continue operating under the radar or get your permits. It is out of my hands now and you have been warned.

People have said it is legal to drop people off but not pick up. I read something different, so you have to do your own research and I’m not an expert on the subject. To those people who didn’t believe me or called me out. See for yourself.

⚠️ PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT — MCO / ORLANDO AIRPORT TRANSPORTATION ⚠️

This is especially important for independent drivers and small transportation business owners or for those individuals offering cheap rides to the airport on Facebook as a side hustle.

If you are being paid to transport passengers to Orlando International Airport (MCO), please make sure you understand ALL of the permits, registrations, insurance requirements, and fees that may apply to you.

I learned this the hard—and very expensive—way.

HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME:

After transporting a client to MCO, a Driver-for-Hire Enforcement Officer pulled in front of my vehicle and blocked me in. He approached me and asked for my driver’s license.

He took my license back to his vehicle and began writing citations. At that point, I still did not understand what I had done wrong. Orlando Police were also called.

After repeatedly asking what I was being cited for, I was told that I did not have the required “sticker” on my vehicle and that I was not properly registered with the airport and the City of Orlando.

Then things got much worse.

My vehicle was confiscated and towed, and I was issued a 365-day trespass warning from the airport.

I had to take an Uber to the tow lot and pay $1,400 CASH to get my vehicle out of impound.

I was also issued four citations totaling more than $2,000.

Because of the seriousness of the situation, we hired an Orlando criminal attorney and paid an upfront fee of $5,000.

The attorney was successful in getting the criminal citations dropped, but the civil citation and the airport trespass warning remain in effect.

Because the trespass warning is still active, I am currently unable to operate at MCO or complete the process necessary to legally resume transportation services there.

Between towing, citations, attorney fees and other expenses, this mistake has already cost me more than $10,000.00

But the biggest Personal loss will be the revenue from being unable to transport my loyal customers to MCO for up to a year. Orlando International Airport is one of the most frequently requested destinations for transportation from our area.

🚨 A WARNING TO OTHER DRIVERS:

Do not assume that having a business license and proper commercial insurance means you have everything required to transport paying passengers to MCO.

DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE ACCEPTING A PAID TRIP TO THE AIRPORT.

Make sure you determine exactly what is required by: October 1st, 2026

• Orlando International Airport / Greater Orlando Aviation Authority
• The City of Orlando
• Any applicable Driver-for-Hire regulations
• Your commercial insurance carrier
• Any other state or local licensing authority that applies to your type of transportation business

The cost of getting properly registered and permitted is nothing compared with what can happen if you unknowingly operate without something that is required.

TO MY LOYAL CUSTOMERS & VERO BEACH RESIDENTS:

If you hire an individual or transportation company to take you to MCO, I strongly encourage you to make sure the driver/company is properly insured, registered and permitted to provide paid transportation services at the airport.

Unfortunately, because of what happened, I must suspend my transportation services to Orlando International Airport until further notice.

I’m sharing my experience because I had no idea the consequences could be this severe, and I hope this prevents another independent driver or small business owner from making the same costly mistake.

Please share this with anyone you know who provides private transportation, airport transportation, or independent driver services in Florida.
