    I would say go to a dealership and see who delivers their trucks. If you get lucky, you might see a delivery in progress and be able to talk to the driver. I know now that many are contractors, and work all types of vehicles including RVs, firetrucks, school buses, and UPS trucks. Alot of work involved in breaking down a train, and reinstalling the axels.
    I wish you luck on you search,

    My tenant works with Mammo.
    He loves to jump through flaming hoops for them.
    he is delivering a truck in atlanta and they tell him they have him a sprinter van in charleston sc to go to california but he cant have that one till he delivers one from sc to tenn. so then he has to ride a bus back sc then take a cab to the sprinter van place in charleston. two nights ago he paid 138 bucks for a motel room in mass.
    what good is making all this money when cabs,trains,buses and motel rooms eat your profits up?
