i just won a bid on a 5 ton in indianapolis and need to get her to jersey. i recieved an estimate from fast track for over 1000 more than i paid for the truck. if i dont get a reasonable price i may just drive out and pick it up and drive it home.. Any advice or help will be appreciated. Thanks

Call Bob Rainville @ 317 710-2240. He moves trucks off the lot in Indy to private property, this will give you some time to shop around or plan a drive back home.

Call him early, he has access to the lot and can check the batteries, get it started , check it out. EUC? -what did you buy? Not much requires an EUC anymore.

I left him a message to check his SS mail and that you needed assistance, call him at the above PH#. He's a good guy and has access to the lots in INDY.

Hopefully Bob had a good time at the gun show over the weekend. From what I gathered on our call Friday he is on the GL yard in Indianapolis today with a few inspections. The GL worker said he's up there quite a bit, these fellow steel soldiers are priceless when it comes to buying sight unseen. I worked with a similar guy in Wisconsin last year and it makes recovery much easier when they inspect and let me know what I'm getting into.

He's a GL contractor also, works good with folks in Indy. If you need something moved, he's priceless.

I want to thank bobr for all of his assistance in indianna. Not only was I able to store my truck a few days but also was able to get a few needed parts.

I'm glad Bob came through. He has helped a lot of guys with their trucks and parts issues. How was the drive home?

It was a long drive I took 2 days drive time. 60 mph 62 on the down hill portions. The truck drove good and my fuel economy wasnt too bad. I am glad that I won't be doing that again soon.

I'll keep it stock. It runs and looks pretty good the way it sits, plus I'm kinda broke at the moment. I did put it in a Memorial Day parade when I first picked it up.
