    Might try Southeast Transportation Systems. Edgewater is a nice place to live. Ever consider hauling boats?

    `I mentioned it because I hauled exoctic cars,Not real long though.It was an exciting job.Went to places ive never been to.I delivered a Lamborghini to New Port Beach and that was different.Then delivered a Bently to the queens.That was scarey because I stayed by a bar till the next day when the car dealer opened.I also delivered a helicopter type car to A very rich guy.He gave me a $40.00 tip.That's another thing,you get tips.

    WOW $500.00.Heck if you play your cards right you can live on tips alone,lol.I don't know how hard it is hauling cars in an open trl,looks hard,But anyway it was'nt no easy task hauling exoctic cars in a closed van,especially the onee that sit real low.That can take along time especially when u don't have the right size ramps.You have to make due with finding homemade ones.Then you have to be ever so careful to watch the paint.

    Hey NSB - does that stand for New Syrna Beach ? Just a guess. My folks live there close to the fire hall.

    The gearjammer part I think I figured out :biggrin_2559:
