    Yep.

    Had to have them take care of a major dealership fubar.

    I believe that custom to order Western Star is a 180" and about half mil into it.

    Bit over a year ago, my 120" Freighty was over $300,000. 156" Freighty $360,000. 120" aero Pete $360,000. 156" Volvo $360, 000.

    I believe there was an increase in manufacturer base vehicle prices for 2025 models & new emmisions specs. Might be 2026.

    The OM and I are only a little over two(2) years away from being able to collect.

    Unless something major changes, we sell all this stuff, get a little mobile in town, and become one of those buffed old men on TV.

    Sounds like a plan. Thought of it myself, but just can't quite do it yet.

    This IS my little mobile, but actually mobile. LOL

    13yrs 24/7/365 in one small box or another was finally enough. Should have done it way sooner.

    Least if I go out this way, I'm going out in comfort!

    Well I dug a trench so I could easily fit to where I needed to go. Plumping sucks. Next time I'll go PEX. I'm getting close to being done. Then let everything sit for a night? Idk. I'll have to let it set up. It's 45'f down there.


    I'll add a better picture of the "trench"

    Believe it or not, I still run open spot reefer.

    This was/is an experiment. Wanted to go bigger truck & possibly jump to entertainment or government.

    Decided to go smaller (relatively) & see just how it would fair . Could always bail & go to different market. And, just might still since I'm starting to get older for reefer chaos.

    So far it's worked. Health issues, not so much. LOL

    I'm stealing Elmer's lunch.

    It doubles as poor reefer lunch, too.

    Rolling Rock main course......

    I sure don't envy that task you have
