...My Life as 'Drive away' driver
|
2024 05 23 MN Spending the night at home ... still. Nothing we would take yesterday. Today at one point there were 14 RV's going to the same location in BC. They were all gone in less than an hour. We still are not doing any Canada. But we had lots of time to look at the costs and the logistics. With two of us we could get a local rental car in the US and shuttle the RV's across one at a time for less than $50 and a couple of hours time. Otherwise to get a cross border car the cheapest we could find was $400. Other than the BC trips, they put out about their usual daily 10 RV's. There were finally two going to the same place in PA, but that is not a trip and kind of RV's we make money on. Tomorrow is our last day of watching for 'good trips.' If we are not able to leave on Saturday we can not make it to the west coast and back before we need to be home in June. It is the end of the quarter so they will be dumping RV's at some point. At that point we will just have to do the math to see what still works for us.

The closest to having a pair was two RV's going to OR to two different locations. I was hopeful. Still, to grab something, anything, there has to be something going somewhere. Possible, but not likely the dump tomorrow. If not, we have an unplanned three day weekend. Load board US - 79 IA - 1 MN - 1 WI - 2 2024 05 27 MN Home for Memorial weekend. Could have gone to the MN State Fair but didn't hear about it until after it ended on Sunday. We've never been there in the spring so not sure how it works. At one time I thought it was a 'drive thru' and you could get one stop at each vender that was open (?) Load board (Friday) IA - 1 Load board - weekend US - 75 IA - 1 MN - 1 WI - 1 |
