I will get it fixed, but I have to get back to my regular job on Monday morning. I had planned to be home by Sunday from driving it, but that’s squashed.
Well I did it to myself

Just out of curiosity, do you own a storage lot for semi-trucks or what?
Do you even know Gumper in real life? If you don't, you sure have a lot of trust in a stranger on a message board on the internet.OLDSKOOLERnWV, Rideandrepair and blairandgretchen Thank this. -
Then just a motel, so I had nothing but parking to offer, no bus/airport nearby, that’d be little rock/memphisJolliRoger, Gatordude, Rugerfan and 13 others Thank this. -

Why would you be scared to?Oldman83, TripleSix, GreenPete359 and 24 others Thank this. -
have you not ever helped anyone out before? I gave a driver a ride from Fremont, NE to Joplin, MO about a year ago, dudes engine blew up, I just happened to be at the same shop for repair.
I drove about 120 miles out of route cause he didn’t have anybody to come get him even when I made it to my turn off. Just caused to me to unload the next morning instead of that night, but someone was not stranded 400 miles from home.Oldman83, JolliRoger, Accidental Trucker and 24 others Thank this. -
..that last part was a joke.
I will say that everyone in the South has been exceptionally helpful. When I was fixing the turbo line at the parking lot at Oreillys I had another trucker from Oxford volunteer to give me a hand until I was back on the road. Then the guy at the store cleaned up my oil mess for me.Oldman83, TripleSix, JolliRoger and 24 others Thank this. -
He might steal something from me.
He might find documents with my personal information on them while he is on my property and commit identity theft against me.
He might get mad at me about something and vandalize my property.
I am a true crime addict. People get victimized by strangers that they are helping all the time.
I wouldn't dare let some stranger onto my personal property. -
He might be a new friend or acquaintance
He might leave his teeth all over my driveway
Those are the two extremes. Outside those brackets is fantasy.Oldman83, TripleSix, JolliRoger and 27 others Thank this.
