The county's own job board carried the position that runs it: "Van Driver - Veterans Service", posted in December 2025 with applications closing January 2, 2026 at 4:30 p.m. "This temporary/occasional position provides transportation assistance to Otter Tail County veterans attending their medical appointments. An ideal opportunity for someone looking for flexible work with veteran support." What is published beyond the posting. The county's October 6, 2026 profile of Assistant Veterans Service Officer Jim Bakkila: "He helps older veterans get rides to medical visits." Nothing else on the county's site publishes the van's booking rules, destinations or fees - the Veterans Service page itself does not mention it - so ask the office. For a fee-free comparison, the State's Disabled Veteran Vehicle and License Fee Exemptions and the DAV network are on the Minnesota and federal entries.
