Guess I didn't update this thread... I went with uship and truck is in route... However.... it can't get here from there. First THE 5 was closed for a blizzard north of Redding CA... So the transportation dude waited that out. Now the truck is north of that... THE 5 is closed because of a wrong way driver had a head on with a semi right at JBLM (Fort Lewis)... and semi caught on fire... The transportation dude just called and said traffic is just crawling and will not be until midnight before he is here... Told the dude he can wait as I don't want to piss off the neighbors too much at midnight. So maybe tomorrow? Man I tell you what, I want my oompa loompa now daddy . Still waiting as fast as I can...

The above events are outside of the transportation dude and uship. All I am going to say is I am glad I had it shipped instead of picking it up myself. Oh lookie there... it's a full moon. Go figure.

After several quotes from Uship and Veritread (the decent for non running north of $3,500.00) i found the number of the driver i used for my 1st truck. He will be picking up tomorrow Wednesday, bill will be $1,900.00. Not bad compared to the brokers.

Edit: did not sued him 🤪🤪🤪

The truck is here!!! Now will it start? Flashing wait light... Nope ... but sound good turning over. getting fuel by the white smoke out the tail pipe... No heat... Time for some troubleshooting.

And oh man is it dirty!

Yes, yes it is... I really want to document this with pictures and video but, well... put a wrench in my hand and the camera is out of mind! I knew the truck would run and I had to move it from where the shipper dropped it. I'll start a new thread with pictures and will up load video and, well the hole experience.

Best part of pictures.,.. 1000 words with zero misspelled!
