I see you using that Dodge van and hauling the Amish with it. Without prying into your personal business can you say whether this is a profitable endeavor or not? Like how much do you charge and what criteria, so much per mile or by the trip, etc? Thanks

Heard down in the basement that he does it as a community service for no charge.

depends on how you go bout it. what I'm doing now not bad pay, I pick up 3 Amish roofers haul them and their tools to the job stay and help em also haul roofing supplies on a 18' trailer when needed I'm not getting rich at it but am paying the bills. I keep Fri open in case someone calls for a out of state overnight trip, they pay dam good. but the best thing is hauling a work crew to work drope em off then going back for them in the after noon they pay round 10 to $12.00 per head a day round here for a 50 mile trip if you have 12 to 14 of them you are make round $i30.00 per day for round 3 hrs work then you can also haul a load local on the same day and another that night if you can stay awake. I have only been doing it for a month or two but I starting to get some 11 and 12 hrs days. bout the same as trucking, the ones going local will bend ove backwards to help fit into your time slot.

I've heard, that here in Wisconsin, the Amish
own the van, and pay somebody to garage it, and
drive when needed.
It could be the same bunch that have hydraulic
brakes on their buggys, and electric,(tractor)
headlights, and tail lights. They have a 12 volt battery, in a battery box, and a soler panel hid
on the chicken coop, to charge the battery. The
Amish newspaper,"The Budget" has ads for 12 volt
electric fans, that run off those same batterys,
so they're not suffering on hot nights!
