    In another thread. If i remember ill snap a picture or two tomorrow. Still need to put a bumper on it and fix/repaint a spot in the right fender. Was gonna run it as is for a month or three and concentrate on more important things than cosmetics. Besides its the rainy season at home, way to much humidity for paint to set right. That will probably have to wait till winter when it's not raining every single day.

    Looking for some help here; I'm stuck in a bit of a bind. My driver was in Indianapolis when he got some news about an urgent situation back home so he had to park the truck in a secure lot over there; however, the truck needs to be moved back to the Mercer yard. I can't get out there myself so I've been weighing different options.

    1. First thought and simplest is to get it towed but I am trying to avoid the hefty bill.
    2. I am actively trying to hire a new driver and that would solve two problems for me. I'd be able to move the truck and I'd have a driver to work with.
    3. Mercer would allow another Mercer approved driver to help move it - I've tried but haven't had any luck yet.

    So I'm here wondering if anyone has any tips for me or would free to help out. I know it's a long-shot but figured I would try.

    Appreciate the help in advance!

    Mercer facebook groups. Offer a team a hundred bucks to grab it on the way through and drop it off at louisville.

    Thanks, spyder. I noticed that most of the groups only have a few members. Are you referring to a specific group?

    Yes I'm loading Friday but not first thing. I just got held up here in WI for 6 hrs. Good thing they pay detention but my hours are shot so I'm heading toward Columbus tomorrow then over there Friday to load.

    LOL. But hey, you can sit and eat now.

    Mtown lounge is pretty active. Some good people in there. But also quite a few crybabies.

    That's right. The ability to sit down at a table to eat dinner is pretty darn nice.
