Empty truck and trailer from MA to CA and back... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*FormerMember* · 07-05-2005, 11:08 AM

I am driving west bound on 80 (roughly) with an empty truck (2005 Dodge Ram2500 Cummins) and a 3 car hauler.

I have one truck coming back with me (unless I find more). So far, I have one set of axles going out.

I am hauling for cheap money, need to pay diesel and the like.

So, if you need something from the New England area hauled to the Sacramento, CA area or going the other way, let me know. I'll also stop within 50 miles off the beaten path.

The trailer has a 9K winch on it and with rollers, I can put anything on it.

GMC AMI · 07-05-2005, 11:18 AM

What a guy! Good Luck on your haul. Great offer!

*FormerMember* · 07-05-2005, 11:23 AM

Thanks. I am going to get my K5 after a cross country move.

Do not forget to turn left at Albuquerque as Bugs Bunny always did not to find Pismo Beach!

Burnsman · 07-05-2005, 11:56 AM

Grendel, when are you leaving? I don't really need anything, but......maybe I'll put the hunt on. I'm about 30 miles off of 80. Brian

Friday at the latest.

jescates · 07-05-2005, 12:17 PM

Damn, not much chance of you driving a more southern route back is there? I got a truck out in Rosamond California, south of Mojave. Need it delivered to central Arkansas. Hope you have a safe trip. Jay

*FormerMember* · 07-05-2005, 12:34 PM

It's possible. What is it?

jescates · 07-05-2005, 12:39 PM

Haven't talked to my buddy in a long time, when I left it was in driving condition. I am still in Turkey and will be flying back home to Arkansas on or around Aug 3. Here's a pic.

tomatocity · 07-05-2005, 03:35 PM

I am looking for an inexpensive Tahoe 2nd seat. If you have followed the thread for these seats you know they are less expensive in your part of the country. This is not much notice but if you can find one in excellent condition with seat belts I would be interested. I live in Sacramento.
What are you buying in Sacramento? Contact me and maybe I can help. Tim

I am not buying anything in Sacramento. I used to live there and I left my Blazer at a friend's house.

I'd be happy to drag whatever back for you, but I have no idea where to find one.

Now that brings back memories. I was stationed at both Ft. Knox and Ft. Campbell for a bit...

Thanks for the offer.

Thanks Man. I appreciate it.

I am on several boards with similiar links, and I am listed there, on that list.

If I have problems with my truck, the dealership gets it back!

teeitup · 07-05-2005, 05:34 PM

Man a buddy of mine found me a blazer in Hesperia, Ca. I'm not sure how far that is from Sacramento though. I'm not sure if I can get it right now anyway. I'll do some thinking on this issue. Thanks for your offer to the all the board members!!!!!!!!!!

Randy

*FormerMember* · 07-07-2005, 07:57 AM

Leaving MA today at noon, first stop is in NJ then Buffalo for the evening.

I'll be checking email and the boards every night, so if something comes up, you can get a hold of me.

Should be in Las Vegas, NV by Sunday. El Dorado, CA on Monday.

mrwilmoth · 07-07-2005, 02:44 PM

I got a truck in virgina, could you help me out with getting it out here?

mcmlxix · 07-07-2005, 02:53 PM

I wish I checked this board last week. I just thrashed my truck together and wanted to get it to Vegas .... but I think I missed the window of opportunity... Its sitting in PA (18472) but if you're in NJ this afternoon ...
