    Just parked in a truck stop and thought about this idea. I own a minibus and
    wondered if drivers would be interested in a shuttle to local clubs/bars/shopping. Any thoughts? This would cost a lot less than a cab and could provide some extra curricular fun while on down time.

    Thanks. Well I'm on the 95 corridor in VA. I don't mind duplicating a successful idea. I couldn't find much in a quick google search.

    That's known as running a "black taxi." It's a taxi service without proper, if any, permits, insurance, etc. Risky business!

    Risky if I didn't have proper operating authority and 1.5 mil insurance, which I do.

    You running guys into Richmond to a strip club? That's the only one that comes to mind along the corridor. You running shuttles from the T/A @ the 89 & 92? Personally I think Richmond strip club market is trash, but we all got our tastes I reckon

    Well how much you plan on charging guys? The closest spots from the 57 is a 40-50 mile round trip ( Downtown & Midlothian Turnpike)

    Probably 20$ rt. I could load up hit midlothian tpk. Drop off an come back in 5 or 6 hours. 4 passengers would be my break even point. My costs are mainly fuel and insurance as you probably know. That would also include 10/hr for driver whether it's me or another of my drivers.
