John is surely a creature of habit. He has been traveling this DC/Wilmington/New Castle route for years.
If the cabbie saw him twice in two days, then he saw him 50 times in 100 days.
In other words, "I've seen him a lot of times" would have probably been a more appropriate answer,
I'm just pondering this because the cabbie "pulled back" and said "That's all I know"....like if he talked anymore, he'd see the same fate.

He either knew nothing, or he knew way too much.
But it does seem unlikely that he never saw Wheeler.
