    I thought about that, but the only vehicle I have available has a tiny sub-550 cranking Amp battery on it. And I don't wanna risk hurting my only personal vehicle. Thought about getting a jump box for emergencies like this. I just hope the charging system isn't fubar or a battery is dead.

    I take it your bobtail? So you can't use the reefer to jump it?

    Hmmmmm.....I've known guys to jump off their trucks with cars before. Years back I jump off a truck with an SUV. It won't hurt your personal vehicle if your try it, it just won't potentially put out enough juice to jump ya.

    Yeah, if I still had my old F150 with its 65 series battery, I wouldn't have thought twice. But my car has this rinky dink sub 500 cranking Amp battery, and I'm pretty sure that ain't gonna cut it lol.

    Ya can jump it off a reefer if your hooked up. If not just jump it off your car to get ya going. Then ya can get it to a shop if need be. Quicker than waiting for someone to come to you and cheaper.

    You guessed correct. After delivery, assuming all goes well, live load in Elkhorn, deliver at Midwest and then pickup from Midwest going to Houston. Houston is Walgreens again lol, but it's a 20:00 delivery, so if I can get a full 10 done in the dock, more power to them while they count every piece
