I wanted to thank all of you that have offered me such great advice, support, help, and loving sympathetic well wishes. My mother and I decided that our best bet was to go with a drive-away company in order to get the truck and trailer back home, this way was less complicated, even though a little pricey. A lot of you have advised me to keep my truck and wait until the economy improves a little more but at this time, I am saddened to say, my family is forced to sell the truck and trailer. We found out that we are being evicted from our home. The house was owned by a family member from my fathers side and we were just told that they GAVE the house to another the day of my fathers memorial service, I guess blood is not thicker than water after all. We have no choice, we can either sell the truck and trailer or live in it, and I don't think that 5 people and 2 basset hounds are going to fit in one Pete. My family is so grateful for the love and support we have been offered from all of you here, we have been shown more love from those of you on this message board than we have from our own family. Again thank you allIt is going to be so strange not being around the trucking industry anymore, my mother was raised around it just as I was and once we sell, that will be it, we will both miss it a lot

Glad you were able to get the help and support you needed here.
khund Thanks this. -
I for one you sought the advice of people on this networking forum. In a couple of months you will not miss it. However, I would not ask a dealer to sell it as they will rip you off and not have any sympathy in the process. In the end, good luck and keep in touch.

Kinghunter, thank you I will.

Sad to Hear, I am sorry. I would still find out what it is worth, trucks are hard to sell right now, but you will find a buyer. If my personal circumstances were different, I would buy it.
On a lighter note: I have lived (for a short period!!) in a truck similar to your dads with me, my wife, 4 kids and a dog. Not very much room!! LOL -
Crotts Trucking, thank you. Father just picked the worst time to pass away but he deserves the rest. He has been killing himself to provide for this family and maintain his dream truck and he did it. I understand, I just keep praying that the right buyer will be sent my way.
Hopefully it will not come to that but if it does we will at least have a roof

I did a simple average on truck papers website, and the avg for truck is $23,000, and trailer $16,500.
Those are simply averages of what others are asking, but might help.
