While I believe the hauling schedule is a super idea, there are shades of gray. I've made several trips, and made myself available, but in the end, I have actually not made use of the service. People problems. About ten stories...
One man wanted me to pick up the tractor and deliver it, but absolutely would not give money up front, he'd meet me there, nearly 500 miles away, and give a check once it was on the ground. I said no money, no haul. And no check. I suppose someone else hauled that tractor. Another man from NY wanted me go into the heart of NYC and pick up a car, take it 300 miles. I tried to just tell the guy that I couldn't do it, that I was going from NY over into Canada to pick up a crawler. He called me 5-10 times on my cell during the trip. Apparently, he was also calling others, as he mistook remarks to me from others conversations. Finally, as I was cruising down the Queensbury freeway loaded with a crawler, I got the last call. The man got beligerent and accused my of lying, that I did not have a crawler, and just didn't want to come to NY and haul his car. I politely tried to explain, regardless, I was unavailable.
I guess what I want to say, is that for those who haul and have good luck, I salute you. Some intersting situations arise. While there are some characters who say they'll haul and money exchanged...there are also guys who get asked to move something for little or no return.
Honest people have to be involved on both ends. Wayne

There was one steam tractor in the Valley, owned by an entrepeneur who used it to run his grain threshing machine, that he hauled from farm to farm for the fall harvest. We used teams of horses not only on the stacker, but on the buckrake to buck the dried
