Used to give Amish a ride to work in the summer in the back of my pickup. Had a cap for the back. They were grateful and paid well

Could not imagine not having one here everyone has one or a few. In the city you have a lot of friends that you never knew you had if you have a pickup to haul for them. LOL


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

My pick up is listed under my business name along with a couple of vans, a dump truck, and some heavy trailers.

It makes me money almost every day I drive it.


Eh...wot?

used mine since I started driving. Mowing grass, trimming trees, taking off scrap, halling fire wood.

Beyond Being a tool generating income it also saves us a ton for personal use.

I'd be broke without my truck.
I buy and sell apples, haul and sell.poultry, take in scrap metal, sell ramps, and pick up road money when I see it.

I've made enough money that I could have bought and paid for my truck just by my side hustles

Im.on the way now to Ohio to get another load of produce now..I sold what I got yesterday

I made 4 trips last week

Also hauled catch when we had a market. Now do free hauling for family and friends sometimes I wonder if I should ever retired. Oldest daughter does not Tex me about things anymore she just lets her mom know what needs done and wife tells me.

I’ve lost money on every truck I ever bought, (40 plus) except one. It was a used 89 Toyota I paid 3600 for, it was nicer than most beaters so I put full coverage on it. Had a hail storm and got 2500 for the dings, put around 30k on it and sold it for 3500.

Every truck I’ve owned has been a money pit. Everyone’s definition of making money is different.

Paid $1000 for that old Ford. Had a $1500 fur check, plus a few nuisance jobs late that summer, so it paid for itself pretty quick.
