I mentioned hauling and shades of gray.
Shades meaning that if haulers were to charge what is cost, counting our time and expenses, this would be commercial trucking, be for hire, regardless of weight, and stop at weigh station and keep a log etc. But normally most of us amatuers just haul and only ask for expenses or there abouts.
Not from YT hauling, but I have rec'd "pretty" checks from honest looking people, that were worthless. So it is cash, MO; no checks. I'd ask cash from a preacher.
But some of the calls were like: "you advertised on YT hauling, so I need you to come two-three states here and pick up.... 28 cents a mile or 38 cents a mile.
So I just say I cannot do it.
I look for signals the person is honest or not. Or a pain in the @$$. It is about two honest people, one just covering my expenses to haul their item (no profit) so I can honestly say I am not for hire, and I deliver.
I have yet to haul for anyone thru YT hauling. Not to say they were not honest, but I don't go way out of my way, nor take checks. The fine line between "for hire" and not is profit and going anywhere for a load.
I hope.
Some of the comments about hauling imply that if someone advertise on YT hauling, they need to haul. No. No. No. It is a mutual favor agreement. There has to be lots of trust, especially if the person does not ride or follow you. I don't think YT hauling is responsible for any bad haulers or any bad load owners. I think their role is to provide a forum to link us up, and it stops there. Each of us are at risk, to ensure we figure out what fair looks like or not haul or take the haul offer. Or not.
Doggone shame there are less than honest people.

Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
