For most of us, commuting is what we do to get to our job. But for this guy, commuting is the job.

Autoblog.com has the story about a San Francisco man who makes himself available to commuters who need an extra body to get in the carpool lane. He charges $10 to $20 a day, depending on how hard-up drivers are to get to work in a hurry, and rakes in some $200 a day.

From Autoblog:

The first time he walked out on to the freeway entrance with a sign that read, “Traffic is bad. Spend 2 hours or pay me $10 and get there in 20 minutes.” It worked, and afterward he left his first paying customer, walked to the other side of the freeway, and caught a paying gig back to where he started.
