    I love The Photoshop Permit Service, they can get you whatever you need whenever you need it. Day or night, they'll make it right.

    Hey Jumbo,

    One of the trucks from your company was parked with a tank yesterday in front of a new Fleet Farm they are building in Cambridge, MN. I live the next town to the south.

    I have been off since last Thursday but I have been moving everybody else's stuff including my own. My friend Mindy tried to convince me that you can pack everything in an entire two bedroom apartment into the 6'x12' UHAUL trailer she rented, I am here to tell you that you cannot. Wasnt even close. Loading just up the road on Wednesday for Oklahoma.

    Thanks guys, means a lot.
    Headache rack, step box, ramps all done today. They also moved the tanks forward to make room for generator and step box.
    2 EXCELLENT techs worked@12 hours today doing that, with me also getting dirty. Can't sit and watch gus work....
    The final deal, was $82k plus fet, and my old Columbia, with full factory warranty, all shop time included, oil change and thorough pdi. Software updates and any tsb's outstanding will also be done tomorrow.
    They are also pulling the fuel from the old truck and pumping into the new one and stripping all signs from the old truck tomorrow.
    Couldn't all for nicer people to deal with. Not many dealers will mess with rgn ramps, but these guys took it in stride.
    I will be buying the 2 techs the beverages of their choice when it's done for sure.
    Pics to follow, been a long day!
    Cheers
    Martin

    Sitting here at hte great T/A in Baltimore. Yea Ha

    We book a ld. coming out of the port, well the office did, I agreed to haul the ld.
    So I grab some fuel and head towards Baltimore. MY wife prints out hte paper when we are still west of Harrisburg. I read it and it says all trks. must be checked in by 1:30Pm. I'm like huh?
    Call the people, Yep that is our paperwork cut off time. I said I will be there by 2Pm. Nope see you in the morning.
    Call the office as we were told we have to pick it up today. Me thinking it loads at the port, great I can be there by 2 and get lded. maybe get out before curfew..
    So here we sit, lost a days running by lazy people who only want to work half a day.
