I'll be going from Fayetteville, NC to Seattle, WA, through West Virginia, in an M934.
Everything checks out, but it'll be a fun trip.
Couple things.
1. I'm offering a FREE 'taxi' service, from NC to Seattle, if you're along my proposed route. If you need anything shipped/transported from anywhere along my route TO anywhere along my route, I will gladly help out. I will not accept any payment for this. Small or large parts, as long as it fits, it should be good. Keep in mind I won't have a ton of space, but I'm willing to help out where I can. I'd prefer it be stuff that's too large to ship economically, or borrowed parts that need to go back to their owner. I cannot and will not accept any compensation for this. I do NOT want to be involved in 'Interstate Commerce', and this is a furtherance of the hobby, NOT a shipping service. This means I'm helping out, not coordinating between buyer and seller and arranging times. Keep in mind that, god forbid something happen to the truck, plans can and do change, and may lead to a longer than estimated 'delivery' time.
2. I'd like a list of people along my route to assist if need be. A simple name, location, expertise, and phone number would be great. That way I have a resource to tap if anything pops up that's beyond a simple roadside repair, or even to stop and do a mini-meet if it's around meal time.
3. I plan to sleep in the back, and have provisions for doing so.
4. I plan on keeping fairly slow, about 45-50 MPH, and stopping every couple hours for stretches/fuel.
5. Anyone wishing to travel with me is welcome to do so, at my discretion (Bring ear plugs).
If interested in being on standby in case something happens, or need a part ferried, post here and/or shoot me a PM. I will update this thread with my current location every night.
Plan is leaving Fayetteville, NC around noon on Mon. 04/06/15

An adventure of a life time. By the way you didnt say why you are doing the journey (unless I am a day late for that too).
