Re: (ET) Group Buy Logistics



Anyone have any new brainstorms on a group buy and a couple of big trucks? I'd be interested in multiple tractors and decks if coming through eastern NY state. Actually I'd take the entire lot, knowing that there are ready buyers for the fork lifts and tiller, if it wasn't for the shipping problems.

Hmm,

Ok let's think about this.  I'm in Albemarle NC, The stuff for sale is
somewhere in Wisconsin (not sure exactly where).

Ideally, I think what we would do is rent a truck (a big one) and have a
few people Meet at the purchase location to load the truck.  We could
work out "lots" of who wants what (after purchase) and load the truck
accordingly.  Then we have a "tour" back to wherever we decide to end up
dropping off stuff as we go.
If I drove straight to WI, and back with no stops (yeah right) I'm
looking at about a 32-34 hour drive.  That would be a bear.  My father
is a former long haul trucker and his license is still current, so I
could enlist his aid, but I can't legally drive a rig so We'd need other
drivers.

This can get messy quick but I'm game.
