Provider rides?Lol.

Heard an ad while surfing radio stations. It was  for a transportation service advertising rides for handicapped folks. "Provide-a-ride" it is called, sounded like "provider ride" when  I first heard it. Potential business opportunity??

I think so yes

For traveling providers coming to Minneapolis or where ever it would be great for them! Or even for the local lady's if our    vehicle brakes down :)

A Driver Could Always Be Needed By A Provider From Time to Time!!!

There's ALWAYS been a need for SAFE, SANE, REASONABLY PRICED, CONFIDENTIAL & NON-pimp transportation services! I know for the ladies that don't have a driver's license or when a ladies car breaks down, or a ladies car goes into the shop OR when a lady comes in from out-of-town it would be helpful!

Provider services....

Ever since I met an insurance salesman/hobbyist who wanted to specialize in selling insurance to providers, the thought of someone starting a provider service agency has haunted me.  Consider:

Booking and email management
Transportation
Incall cleaning, maintenace and supplies (condoms, lube, toys delivered to your door)
Health insurance or health insurance advice
Money management and investment advice
Legal and tax advice  
Career counseling (for both in the hobby and in civilian life)

Ladies -- others?

Hobbyists -- do I hear investors?

The dream?  One stop shopping!

Provider services.... and more than likely felonies

Not a good idea
that includes transporting a sex worker to her appointment.
It's called promoting prostitution and the laws are much harsher,
The hooker might only get a fine or misdemeanor charge, your "helper" not so good.

Hey! Lighten up guys!

It's a fantasy.

But in fact, there's a serious need for some of these services, and selling services to providers is not pimping.

hmm

I wish I had a driver I could trust. I don't have a license and it definitely makes things harder.

I would be interested in finding out why the salesman thought that specializing in selling insurance to providers was a great business opportunity.

Although I can understand his desire to find new clients and to earn commissions from selling policies, why would he want to specialize his business to a single employee-type within the service economy (i.e., providers) rather than (for example) female hair stylists.

Note:  A particularly cool angle to his business plan might entail his ability to write-off an hourly session fee as a legitimate business expense. How else could he present his services to an individual with an alias unless he managed to find a way to meet them in person at their place of work? However, the provider would have to disclose too many personal details (e.g., real name) to a client in order to actually realize the sale of a policy.

Inquiry:  Did the insurance salesman pursue his business idea?

Chilly

The first provider that I met had a driver. After I made it to the hotel room, she received a text message from her driver. Her response to the message must have given the driver a confirmation that everything was okay with the initial moments (and to return at a later time).

As a hobbyist, I felt a little bit chilly about the driver aspect of the meeting. It made the meeting feel that there was a third party involved in the proceedings.

Discretion

In the past, I have heard (through the grapevine) that some hobbyists do offer to meet traveling providers at the airport in order to supply them a ride to their hotel.

Of course, a few providers might jump at the opportunity to save the fee for a taxi service.

However, a provider's location (i.e., her hotel) would be immediately compromised.

In addition, many providers blur their facial images. The power of that illusion is immediately shattered by such a service meeting. The success of her trip could hinge on the driver's impression of her looks. Hobbyists enjoy back-channeling such information. Negative feedback on a provider's looks could lead to appointment cancellations.

Fantasy or not, I think providing most of those services would be considered promoting prostutution

A felony.  Of course, keep in mind that I am neither a lawyer nor do I play one on TV.

Re: Provider services....

It's a great idea. I have actually solicited some providers during session for some of these services. The most dangerous is of course taxation since we are required to ask some fairly personal info AND IRS holds us responsible for our client's lies.

A Friend Giving A Friend A Ride is NOT Illegal AS LONG AS He DOESN'T Know What Shes Doing! (e)

Have you ever heard- "ignorance of the law is no excuse?"

d shame on you if you EVER put a friend in a compromising situation that has an once of possibility they may be involved..

If it ever happened can you imagine what their life would be like? It's the charge, not whether they are convicted or not, that could cost him (your choice of gender) time, maybe lots of money and their name possibly besmirched.

Take a friggin cab. Charge extra for outcall.

Outcalls are dangerous. I see nothing wrong with her taking steps to ensure that she is safe (i.e. checking in with someone). And who knows, maybe she can't drive.  

I do see where you get the feeling about a third party, but it isn't necessarily true and I don't think that a person should be judged negatively for needing a ride and for making sure they are safe

Formative

The experience with the driver may have actually shaped my hobby behavior.

The first provider that I referenced in my comments was a local (i.e., Minneapolis) provider.

In my subsequent six-year involvement in the hobby, I have almost always chosen to meet with visiting providers.

I have found visiting providers to be far more reliable for meetings. Visiting providers are in a city for their business and clients.

Local providers (potentially) have too many distractions within their personal lives that can interfere within their ability to deliver a reliable, consistent service to their clients on a specific date and time.

Geez, talk about a bunch of self-centered twits!  They're happy to avail themselves of your wonderful services but if it comes to providing a helping hand, their ass is ducking for cover.

I'd be happy to lend a helping hand, just like I would to anyone else in need.

Very good to know ...

So after getting arrested, booked for a felony, I'm assured buy your legal advice that I won't do prison time. Now what do I do when the wife files for a divorce that will cost me millions?  

I'm not a lawyer and you probably shouldn't be giving legal advice either.
