I was serious about sending a wrecker after the truck.
I have a trucking company picking up my new 813A1 tomorrow in NJ for the 200 mile or so tow back home.
I did the math. Insurance, trip permit, fuel 2 ways, helper, (long) day off work, tolls (in my case), equals $400 minimum if Murphy does...
Uship.com :-D
Send a truck after it.
1- Eliminates any potential liability
2- Eliminates days off work
3- Eliminates the appearance of Murphy at the GL site or on the way home.
4- Eliminates some fun :cry:

Last 2 times I tried to enter through the back gate I was either sent through the security check (exit the vehicle and had the dog sniff thing) or told I had to enter through the main gate off Rt 175. Have never been able to enter through the back gate w/o hassle. :?:

Charles is the site manager in Richmond. He's a super guy and will work with you to get you in and out. Make sure to call and CONFIRM the day you plan to go. The days for pickup there change sometimes.
Tell him you're a SS member. He knows many of us well. I was there on Monday this week and...
Recovery Successful!
Went and picked up the M1009 today - rain, fog, traffic yuch! About 2 hours each way in stop and go on the DC Beltway.
It rained the hardest today while I was doing the solo winch it up on the trailer thing :doh:
It is exactly as described and I appreciate the deal that...
