transporting a new truck

Hmmm.. lets see. Was it all I needed? Well... I didn't get in any trouble. TX told me it was a legal permit and it was all I needed but I id it in such a hurry I never did get ahold of any other states to ask them. I did have a FL scale leave me sitting on the scale a LONG time and I really started to get worried. But they let me go. I did go around a few scales but it was mostly because two of the tires on the truck were bald and the rest wern't too far away from that.
Would I do anything different? yup, I wouldn't try to go pick up a truck 950 miles away that I had NO idea of the condition, with only enough money to may name to pay for fuel and then only if it got as good of fuel milage as I was hoping. In the end it did better than I expected on fuel and it didn't cost me anything other than having to buy a cheap cb antenna and a year off my life from stress over worring if it was going to break down and how I'd pay for it if it did.

 

I don't know if I want to my work from the prince of darkness:smt077

seriously though. It's getting close. I'm of cash though so I may have to take a job for a bit to replenish the ol bank account.
I'm really looking for something that will let me run on my schedual though, which is more of a part time basis. My wife makes enough for all our needs, she wants me to just take some bs job in town but I love driving trucks, don't think I could work at the local NAPA for too long.

 

oh it will get fixed up. I can't NOT tinker with everything I own. I want to get it on with landstar since that would allow me to take the time off I want to without having to listen to anyone whine about me being home too much.

If I can't get on with them (it's been like a month and they are STILL trying to get info from past employers) then I'll probably look at putting it on hauling flatbed, chips or something locally.

I was talkign with a guy who sells polyurathan bushings. I need all the hood bushings and while talking to him I found out he has like a half dozen 359's and little window 359's sitting around. He just put a Pete low air suspension on his 359 so for buying my bushings from him (for a good price) he is giving me a bunch of other parts from his old trucks that I need, including air bags which I need bad. I just have to pay the shipping
Talk about lucking out!!
