Wooho! Made it to Odessa, missery, ops Missouri tonight. I would liked to have gotten to KC but this works. I should be able to make wreckermans tomorrow or at least close. I was figuring on 450 to 500 mi days on the ride home. Will probably be 12 hr days but that is better than the 14 hr days...
Howdy guys. I made good time today despite a lot of the white stuff. Made it to Cheyanne Wy tonight.
Probably going to go through KC, then St Louie, and down through Memphis. I will pribably have to call wreckerman and figure out the best route to his place.
Took some pics but will have to...
Thanks guys I made it to Ontario, Or. tonight. could have Boise tonight but the weather didn't behave. I will make up for that tomorrow, I hope. Thanks for the KIND words that sounds something like encouragement. HAHA. Will probably post an update tomorrow night.
Well here we go the journey begins. I am getting going a little late but i got my bumper and towbar done last night and now i am waiting for paint to dry. should make Boise, Id. tonight and then make a 800 mile jaunt on friday. then i should be back to 650 mi days. Should be in Alabama on sunday...
I plan on driving my jeep to Alabama and driving deuce back. I will either tow jeep back or load in the back. I decided to do it this way so i can make an emergency run to get parts or whatever. I figure that it will take 3.5 to 4 days to drive out and 5 to 6 days to drive back, barring any...
It could be, I don't know. I am pretty new also. I have heard of some 1300 mi recoveries but not 2600 mi ones. I have had some help from wreckerman893 so i have a leg up on the condition of truck before i have to leave for trip.
It looks like i might be leaving in the next couple days for my deuce recovery. I Asked wreckerman893 to pick it up from redstone. He made pickup today and reported back. It sounds like i got a good truck, once in a while I get lucky. HAHA I will be posting my return route looking for contacts...
I am still looking but the ones that i have been bidding on have gone for more than i am willing to go. Wreckerman893 is going to pu truck and hold for short time. It is looking like i might be driving mine home. I will keep you posted.
No 400 t0 500 for permits and 900 to 1100 for fuel. I get 6.5 to 7mpg with 28000# give or take a grand. I was figuring it would cost around a grand to drive home for fuel so if i can find another one at the right price i should be able to sell the second one to help defer the cost.
BMCUSNAVY i am going to try for one on the auct on the 24th at redstone and Ft Dodge. My euc cleared today so i need to get moving on deciding on weather or not to drive it home or not.
Ya thats why i looked so far away to get one. I was looking at some in Minn at some nice trucks but got...
OK guys i am a truck driver and have access to the right equipment to haul my deuce back. And if the company can find a paying load to al area i can load up mine and bring back for the price of fuel and permits.
The market here in the northwest is fairly good because there are not many bases...
I think i got one of the trucks moved from Ohio site to redstone. The GL listing on the lot was short and not very informative. The running condition unknown excuse. and few pics.
It would probably cost the same and less liability. My truck gets the same milage as deuce. And i can haul paying load to se usa. I figured that it will cost about 1100 to 1300 to drive or haul my way. And i can help out with the lack of trucks in the northwest. I still have to win a second...
Well i was looking to drive mine home if in good shape, gives a whole new meaning to Deuce but. I am however am rethinking this. May still. Idrive truck locally in the seattle area. I talked to the boss today and he said that i could use the truck to go get it if i pay for permits and fuel, So...
I won a truck at redstone on the 29th. I am looking to see if i can win another one and bring it back and sell to cover shipping costs. Throwing this out there. Not looking to make money off this, I want to sell at a reasonable price and help someone out with a truck in the area. Checking for...
