[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 43283, member: 67"] Re: Moving trucks My pointer is "don't do it." Shit a transmission in a medium duty truck in the Middle of Nowhere® (like Kansas) and wait for a week to get parts, another week for the rebuild and $2,500 - $4,000 worth of wallet lightening. Just reading Silas' post, while commercial rentals have cheaper mileage charges they're usually based on returning the truck to the renting location. Driving a unit 1,000 miles to return it may well eat up the savings by the time he pays the extra mileage and fuel and either hires a friend to make the trip and return the truck or does it himself and flies back to the destination. It's a gamble. Does he feel lucky? [/QUOTE]
