I am making a post because text and Email is hard to do here and to talk to all partys needed at the same time.

Here it goes from the very start:

I have a M915A1 at SW's place.
M871 semi trailer at Stretch's.
Spedmon has a trailer that I am buying from him.
I need to get all parts to SW's ( or if there is a better spot) and load the little lube trailer on the flat bed trailer.
I will be coming in to Ohio on a date in OCT 2012.
Is there a way we can get everything moved to the same place.
Also I need a pick up from the airport(Blue Oyster Bar, next to the Capitan's Club) in the morning in Cincinnati.

I know I am one needy person.

thank you all for doing so much already. its kinda hard to get stuff planed over here sometime ;)

When you get me the plates I'm going to go get the trailer at Stretch's and bring it to my place. that will most likely be the first week in Oct BEFORE you fly back to the states.

You're pretty freakin needy aren't you?

I had even thought about you buying fuel and I'll drive your truck and trailer part way down and meet you for the rally....but noooo, you keep changing dates and times.

I wonder how much I can get for a melted 915?

Get me plates and get Special Ed's trailer closer. :)

But where the heck are you flying into?

If you go to ATL it's only 510 miles, that's a little past CVG which is about 70 from my place.

If we have a dock of sorts at the rally I could just pull my Dodge and 101 onto the 871 and bring it. Everything is flexible until it isn't. :)

The only downside is with no weight on that truck it will beat you to death on the highway. Whatever happens I only have one favor and it involves transporting something back up north.

SW... if you can do that its fine with me! I just need to get all my stuff together. I will pay for the fuel down if you can do it.
Because I love messing with Rich, note the red highlighted sentence. It really sounds like "All y'all just need to get all my stuff together". Just sayin!

The trailer helps A LOT, even if it is empty

Steve, I will have my ramps we can get your dodge off with them.

"F" that! Steve, you just need to back the trailer and truck onto the flat deck. Then once we are at the rally, we can unload the mighty mighty Dodge "Duke's of Hazard" style. Power brake it till you hit 88mph, then launch that b!tch off the trailer!

Tie one end of the dodge to a pine tree, and just drive out from under it.............I am sure you can find a dirt pile and a set of ramps at the Ga rally. If ya have to, you can go from the 871 trl to Ferro's trl, then to the ground,

Someone also needs to be picked up at Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta.

Could they both fly in on the same day at least? I'll go get them in the wrecker! ;)

The cab stands 4, and plenty of room for luggage on the wrecker bed, just wrap it in plastic to keep the oil off.

While I would never back out on getting the truck down there a lot of moons have to align to make this happen.

Since I have already had the melted down 915 in the shop and the burning bush brakes fixed they are in great shape. It had a complete DOT inspection and lube job along with all the filters changed (except air) including transmission. Oil changed.

I can tell you driving it now is a lot nicer than the recovery.

The trailer that bothers me is that little one at Special Ed's place. I'm still waiting for plates for the 871 and truck and I heard that Ferro was sending me a trailer light cable. Really?

While I like the idea of unloading Dukes style I don't know how the doors would hold up driving that fast. You people know how bad I am with those things.

Maybe I can convoy the truck with JW4x4's 931 depending on when he leaves.
