    Yup, cost of living cheaper here, though state tax taxes are a bit high I will admit. All my family is between here Pittsburgh too.

    Looks fine… run it to a yard.
    Or just leave it for the next guy.

    Here in Louisville, KY, delivering Hill-Phoenix to some new construction. First time I've delivered Hill-Phoenix in ages. Can't recall the last time, but it's been a while. HP used to be our biggest customer, but now we hardly haul them at all outside of the local drivers. How the mighty have fallen.

    It's new construction, so there are like 10-12 total Abilene trucks here, in addition to a few other carriers. I got here at 6:30am for a 7:00am delivery time. It is now 10:00am and there are still 5-6 trucks (at least) ahead of me.
