With Amish childbirth rates very high, the Amish population increases steadily decade by decade. That means the Cisneys and other drivers have had plenty of business. In his career of four decades-plus, Carl Cisney, 78, said he made deep friendships with the Amish, often getting invited to weddings, where he and Sarah Jane, who also drove, were the only “English” guests. Some clients have wanted to bring chickens and ducks inside for the ride. He’s always said no. Carl also insists Amish men take off their boots and put them in bags, particularly after a barn raising.
