The trailer is a 83"x22 14k load trail, i didn't find a better deal this side of the Mississippi, seriously, I spent hours looking, i had 99 tabs open on my phone, just call Gary at
www.thetrailerguys.com and buy a trailer, tell him I sent you, or don't, it might get you a free doughnut. They close at 5pm sharp on Friday, by appt only on Saturdays.
I left Tucson at 5am, to make the 10 hour drive. I didn't realize I crossed 2 time zones, losing 2 hours. In all my calls to Texas trailer dealers, it's pretty clear they don't stay open late, at 5pm they start polishing their belt buckles, I made it on time
The yard boys had fun with the forklift and I slipped them some beer money
I stopped in this parking lot, i think it was big spring, both of those pickups were dumped, I'm not above looking for contact info in an abandoned car to buy it, and figured I could maybe squeeze it in the trailer
Found pay stubs in the dodge, guy made 30k YTD in the oil fields by April, now his truck was dumped behind the family dollar, not sure on the Chevy, but I'm guessing at least a month.
Then when leaving I spotted the light pole, that area has been hard hit. The neighborhood directly behind it is this great all American neighborhood, well maintained red brick houses, 9/10 lawns immaculate
From there I got a hold of
BillyBronco to set up our morning meeting at his family's ranch east of San Antonio. I planned on getting near his place then crashing out in the backseat for a few hours.
He insisted that I be his guest and he and his dad stayed up late, we unloaded the rhino loaded the tractor, and they put me up fur the night at their beautiful ranch, I wish I had more time to explore it, I've done business with Billy before, but never in person, his dad and him are stand up guys, a rare breed
