Chris G 3,274 #1 Posted July 30, 2018 So this all started back at the end of april. I was sitting at good friends shop and he was looking to buy a old Chevy truck out in Nebraska. He asked if I would be willing to road trip with him and pick it up. I said yes of course. I then started asking are we driving out with a empty trailer. He said yes and I said how about we fill it up and make a stop along the way. He was alright with that, so I instantly started talking to another fellow member here and asked if he would be interested in purchasing some wheel horses out my way and I would pick them up for him. Then we could load them up and stop in Nebraska and drop them off to him. Then we could go load my other friends truck up and head home. We had previously spoke on how he would love the opportunity to scoop a few horses up and trailer them to his home in Nebraska. So after some talks and getting things in order are plans were made. So I started in the beginning of July picking horses up and storing them. Well last Friday I picked the last one up and now there loaded up for the trip this Wednesday. We will be delivering a GT14, 953, 1054, 59 RJ and a D250 with FEL and a bunch of implements. 5 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris G 3,274 #2 Posted July 30, 2018 And just a side note. The photos are of when they were just loaded. We have since removed keys and seats and so on. And they are now all strapped on as well. That way nothing is lost along the way. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any time you want to make a delivery like that to North Carolina I'm ready! NC is about as much of a desert as Nebraska, very few and far between. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris G 3,274 #16 Posted July 31, 2018 Yes indeed. Been friends with the guy I'm driving out with for a long time and besides him picking me up from the airport, when I'd come home from the service. This will be the first time we been able to just go and get away and have some harmless fun in a long time. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
