Less talking, more hauling generator!
You might try finding a heavy equipment hauler that might have a spot to share on a load. I have done that more than once with farm equipment. It helps all parties out.
Not too far from me...to bad you didn't offer to wine and dine me with a courtesy reach around.
Individual. Came from a DRMO and then was worked on by the person who has it.
I’m in the process of planning a bachelor party in Zion, and I live in PA… driving would add 4 days to the trip though. I’ll have to ponder it and see. I’ll keep you posted though
Fly there and let the german rent you a truck and trailer for the drive.
That's what we've been doing. It's not that it doesn't exist, its that there are WAYYYY less of them right now as well as 1 off hot shot guys who basically just took a vacation when gas prices doubled.
My freight broker says the boards for them are 1/3 the size that they normally are.
why is it, that all them suggestions of 'air drop' reminded me of the multiple Humvee "free=falls" that happened during a particular training op?
Yeah, that's the one. I get that my intended humor was laughed at, and I appreciate that. But the guy on the video having the 'time of his life' definitely left me a bit 'confused'. Even way back then.
IIRC, it also left him court-martialed or something like that.

My house to Aion = 2300 miles X 2 (round trip) = 4600 miles ./. 15 mpg = 306 gallons @ $4.50 per gallon = $1377 in gas alone.10Kw on the .mil trailer that they are made for. Can pull with a pick up. Just need a hitch that works with a lunneite (sp?) ring.
Looks just like this one:
Bonus points if you get a doll that looks like Frank to ride around on it the entire trip.
Add in 8 nights in hotels @ $125 p/night = $1000
$200 p/day labor +$1600
Add 3 nights in Utah with cocaine, hookers, and Hores Soldier bourbon = $3000 ( I only do high class coke and whores).
$1377
1000
1600
3000
$6977 and Im on my way, and youre on your way to a 3 day experience you'll never forget.

I'll do it for $6,975 - I'm sure I don't have the stamina for quality hookers Maggot does as I'm fat and old....
Who is going to go lower? Come on TheGerman, stop being a poor....
Gonna need @Bigfatcock opinion on whether 3 nights of hookers and blow at 3000 bucks qualifies as "high Class" hookers
Might be able to do it in July. Heading from DC to Houston and could do a detour. Weight of that bitch so I know of the jeep can tow it. No problem on the pintle, as I haul around a M416. Just pay my gas. If we will fart around with NV, I can bring my own...

Best I can do is like $38.
MEP803a and MEP802a generators are top notch. How many hours did it have on it?10Kw on the .mil trailer that they are made for. Can pull with a pick up. Just need a hitch that works with a lunneite (sp?) ring.

I’m sure that you already know but they have a great community on SteelSoldiers.com to help with any problems and or any troubleshooting. Very knowledgeable guys over there. I would buy as many spare parts as you think you might need in the future ASAP. I have seen spare parts going up in price and being harder to find just like anything else these days.

I'd do it for about 4k
1/2 up front 1/2 upon completion.
I have plenty of time being retired and disabled, but not going to pay out of my pocket for something like this.
It's your genset and I'm not getting anything out of it.
Yes, I have a good pulling vehicle and have pulled plenty of pintle hitch trailers in the past, and have 4, 6, and 7 wire connection ability.
That's straight up and honest, not stiffing you, not stiffing me.
Ain't worth it is it ?

Like I said, and I was very straight up and honest.
It ain't wurth it.
BTW, I don't do faggoteer chew/wormdirt/whatever.
If you have some hot wench that is willing to give a constant 4 day blowjob while I'm driving....maybe we can talk.
Did you put it in his mouth like a momma bird feeding a baby bird?
You have to drive to Ohio to pick it up then pull or trailer it to Utah.Jesus some of these quotes to move a generator are bizarre or ridiculous.
You do know what gas prices are....right ? right ?
It says in the very first post that he would cover the cost… he’s probably just waiting to se who is the closest to the generator
1689 miles from Columbus to SLC
Add at least 500 for where ever it exactly is and additional for miles to get to it in the first place.
Are you thinking you are going to drive 2000'ish miles straight thru ?
No, there will have to be at least 1 and probably 2 hotel stays.
Then you have to get home.
Is that time free ? I would never stiff anyone I respect, but I would expect them not to stiff me on the other side of that coin.
$4000 is a thought out reasonable cost and it is probably less than getting a delivery via pro semi hauler.
Is it worth it for the damn genset ?
No, I specifically said that, it is not a reasonable price.
But, it is fair for both parties considering current costs of *things*.
What happens if you break down during the trip, or destroy a tire or two due to some unforeseen incident ?
Weather causing a extended stayover somewhere (it is tornado season all along that route ya know).
Think my man.
Think.
The SH guy who currently has it at his house (who will remain nameless unless he wants to show up) knows the ins and outs of them. I bought it and had it sent to him (few hours away from where it was) after he spent a lot of time going through pictures of countless generators. We got this one with some hours on the clock, however, it had basically a brand new everything in it even though the hours on it said otherwise. Guess is someone did something dumb, and while it still had low hours, it was deemed to be rebuilt/new engine and then never used.
This is why (normally) we'd get onto a hotshot guy's trailer who was already driving nearby or onto an already paid for haul where the extra space was just extra money for them.
Did it before without issue but now with the gas and everything, a lot have just stopped doing anything at all for the time being.
For reference; the last thing I had delivered via freight truck was around the same size and same distance in the latter part of 2021. Cost was $425.

Ding ding ding.
Or possibly that someone here does hotshots that may be able to wiggle it in or make money on a route they were already going to do or were planning.
I've already had a PM where someone was planning a trip that would have them going right past the pickup and within 3 hours of me. Only issue was that it wouldn't be until July.
Ok so Plan B for you.
Find something out near me that you really want to buy and is a great deal. An untouched Corvette or this bad ass RV or whatever. This is now your excuse for the trip.
Step 1. Buy cocaine. Not sure how much you need but I hear more is better. This will also negate the cost of needing a hotel room for 1-2 stays. Money savings here.
Step 2. Fill that gas tank up and start driving. Dont let anything happen to my damn generator tho!
Step 3. Along the way, be sure to update your location on Tinder. Also, because of all the free space you had on your trailer that you loaded up with random stuff you, uhh, found? you can get on craigslist with WTS ads a few cities ahead of you at a time. Sell that shit as you Tinder it up in the same areas at the same time. Multitasking like a motherfucker. Literally. Like, actually, literally.
Step 4. Between craigslist sales on your trailer stuff and banging whores (who also may have things you can acquire to sell) you're doing really well here and halfway through the trip, you're up like $700.
Step 5. No need to sleep. You're really finessing this driving/selling/cocaine/bang whores matrix. Keep it up my man.
Step 6. Don't drive into a tornado? I mean, theyre fucking huge. Why are you driving into one? Can you not fucking see that its a fucking tornado?
Step 7. Bang more whores. At some point you'll have more DNA across America's Heartland than Genghis Khan. Don't forget to keep selling your trailer treasure too.
Step 8. Actually be disappointed that you're already here after like 1 day of driving nonstop and realizing that you've actually made 1300$ after costs.
Step 9. Unload my generator. You also now owe me $500 for the trip.
Why was that so difficult? But oh no, blown out tires and shit.
Well, the idiot who was responsible for checking the rigging of these vehicles to their pallet was the same guy who cut said straps....somehow he thought he would get away with this???? Moron. And he was court martialed and dismissed with a dishonorable.
The cackling idiot on the ground laughing (good impression of Harris right there with the cackling) got a letter of reprimand under Article 15.
I don't even have words for this thread...
