In the building, walk through the double doors and follow the instructions to start working. The Dispatch will send you the client’s location, it will show on the mini-map. You can identify your client by the blue arrow on top of it. Stop the car as close to them as possible and use the command to get them in the car.

The client’s destination will show as a yellow route on the mini-map. Get to the location as fast as possible, avoiding any type of crash. The faster and safer you get there, the better the tips. Drop the client in the yellow circle and wait for the next job.
