    Could have used that a long time ago after we bought 2 cars off of Ebay. One was someplace in NJ and the other one was in PA, we were in AL. Husband had our car dolly and had to take son and daughter to drive back.

    Plus if he abandoned the load I highly doubt he would have taken the time to put cones around the trailer.

    Ive fixing to purchase a car not too far from where I am. I found a older buick post 2004 model with the big V6 and the usual Buick interior etc with 80K miles. I would try to have some money aside to fix the hydralic actuator that generally goes bad about that mileage in those older buicks. If it was not for my back, I would not have a interest in such basic cars. They are asking 4000 out of central mississippi and I suspect that might be a bridge too far as far as buicks go. 2000 maybe not 4000. Not with the risk of a transmission expense which is generally expected in those things.

    Ive been less than lucky replacing used cars unfortunately and we are surrounded by hundreds rotting in the dealers, fields and so on because no one wants to maintain the expense of a vehicle in this economy. Maybe I will get a gem. Who knows.

    perhaps delivery is to a Amish community, part of the service is picking up each buyer at the end of some goat trail only a tractor could run bringing that buyer back to pick up their vehicle..

    though I think I'll go with a repair

    I don't think the old order would take kindly to buying the english technology and vehicles. =)

    It is either one of two things. Either the trailer is broken somehow and the driver unloaded the trailer to make it harder for a thief to steal/ the load had to be removed to fix it. OR the driver is in the process of trying to make some kind of complicated delivery.

    I've gathered there's new order that has no problem with automobiles.

    A few years back, I got hotel room for the night in Utah to give a trainee a break from me..at that hotel I crossed paths with a small group of Amish, one male and a few females. they had a uhaul and a couple of cars.

    another time I dropped a trainee off after he finished up at truck stop, a Amish friend of his picked him up in car.

    I've delivered to the some, that group appear to be against autos. but I don't pay.much attention to it. I figured some use autos sone dont

    just a mention.. moving along now
