    Oh, I thought you had a truck that you wanted to bring here and Mike said no as if it didn’t qualify.

    I misunderstood.

    So what option(s) do you need or are looking for? Maybe we can find a combo that works for you here at FCC.

    I am looking to buy a truck and then lease it on vs paying $700 a week. Rather pay a monthly payment. Mike said has to have a 2007 or newer engine to go to California that's their requirement. Easy enough.

    You do know glider kits are almost impossible to come buy now right? The government put the biggest glider builder out of business (Fitzgeralds).

    Picked up a trailer at a pallet yard today with not 1... but 2 flat tires!... been 2 1/2 hours and counting at Love's waiting to get em fixed. Fitting ending to a F'd up week. I would have said screw it and had them fix it at the Council Bluffs shop since I'm dropping there Monday, but one was off the bead. So I'm taking one for the team. The beer sure is gonna taste good when I get home tonight!

    Dropped my load at the Walmart DC in Fontana, of course no empties, so I run over to Redlands and grab an empty. Head over to the City of Industry to live load.

    Get there and the receiver says I got 28 pallets, so I assume he’s going to break a few down. After about an hour he hollers at me. He’s dumbfounded that he has three pallets he can’t fit on the truck. I politely explain to him the only way he’s getting those last three pallets on the truck is to break them down and load them on the existing pallets.

    You would think a guy that loads trucks everyday, would understand the concept. After three hours he finally got me squared away.
