    Again. Can't tell if serious or just trolling...

    Fuel,Permits,Maintenance,Registration,Food,Phone,Rent just to name a few expenses must be free to him.

    He also must have had 400k in the bank because according to your calculations he won't be paying any interest on the loan either...

    Well... After a week of route planning and conferences with ADOT, I was told "you can't get there from here". Im trying to get 16' wide into the town of Willcox. It literally can't be done until October! Restrictions on all sides of town, night travel with DPS is OK from the East but not from the West, Cant get to NM on any road in AZ. So my suggested route is North to Flag, indian routes to US. 160 (four corners) somehow get south in NM (another nightmare) to US 70 back to Safford, south to I-10 West.
    A 180 mile trip is now 600 with additional escorts and DPS. A $2,000 load is now $10,000.

    And I was complaining because of the extra 70 miles in MT for a 12'6" due to construction.

    Guntoter, Can the piece wait untill the fall or is the customer having to pay the extra fees for the piece.
    Hope it all works out for you

    Its a new Mobile Home, the dealer is paying flooring on it as of monday morning. Essentially that means he is paying the interest on the loan until the customer moves in. Its a 100K house... Plus, the dealer has a line of credit from his bank that revolves. When he hands the keys to the customer on move in day, he gets that 100 K back on his line of credit. This means he can't make another deal until I get it delivered.
    Bottom line, customer has no home to live in, dealer is spending $700 a month on flooring, I spend money to store the house.... All this for 5 months...

    This is a bunch of crap! The buyer, dealer, and you should relay all this crap to the buyer's local State Representative. There has got to be a way to cut through the red tape. What are they doing? Construction down to 10' lane everywhere in the area?
