Nice, that first one has the Marine bed with the sea-container/iso locks on it.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I thought I had another option going that would get it to my door is the only reason I didn't get back to you.I wish you would have gotten back to me on the parts I was asking about. i just completed my road trip I mentioned to you and I even stayed overnight on the way back in Salina!
Hey Glen
Have you been able to get my exaust parts and seat out yet. I really need the parts, If you don't have time can someone else drop them off at ups.
Thanks
Mark
Glen, Close the yard and spend the day with your friend. Theres always next weekend.

Mark wants to get his truck running and I understand that. He has been sending me PMs and he has been calling the yard. I have an extremely hard time shipping anything oversize. My day starts before any of the businesses that ship out open and it ends long after they close. If I had a lunch break, I could ship the stuff then.Hey Glen
Glad your ok, hope today is better. Were you able to box up my stuff. Mark
I can use a roof also, in good shape.
I understand where you are Glen been there done that it gets like a full time job then you burn out and you loose interest in the whole thing altogether. There is a guy on ebay goes by beltfed explaines that if you want it right away order it from someone else he explaines its not his full time job and you will get it when he has time to get it out. Maybe you should try his approach it seems to work for him and you wont get burnt out well good luck.Mark wants to get his truck running and I understand that.

I write over 100 transactions a day, between the check writing and checking incoming loads comes the scheduling and getting breaks covered. There always seems to be a customer dispute over whether a 36" x 36" chunk of steel is prepared metal or if their copper is #1 or #2, if I have over a thousand pounds of lead, can you give me a special price? ... It goes on and on and on..... by the time I get my 11 or 12 hours in, I am ready to get off of my feet for a while and soak up some free time with no pressure.
We have experienced very rapid growth, whether that will continue or not remains to be seen. I hope we can continue to grow. I hired a girl to work the desk, she did not work out, neither did the second one. The third one is doing much better, she is smart and she has class. She is a great asset, but I still cannot leave the yard.
Several people have said to have UPS or Fed Ex pick the stuff up. Unfortunately though, it is not as easy as having a truck pull up and load up the product and tell them where to take it.
I apologize to Mark and several others for struggling to get the parts they need shipped. I keep saying it will get better, but I am tied to that counter for at least another month.
I try to pull stuff in the evenings before dark sets in and I have quite a stock of parts that I know guys are needing.
The military vehicle stuff is handled separate from the regular business and is not actually a part of BFR. We do not sell parts off of anything that comes into the yard. I have been given a lot of freedom to sell parts off of those trucks, but I have to do it on my own time. I may have to make it a U-pull and haul your own parts palace for a while.
The parts I have in stock, I can package and have ready to go to the post office. Anybody can do those for me, the large stuff is a real obstacle for me to get out. I have pallets available and strapping equipment. I can fairly easily strap things to a pallet for pickup, much easier than hauling it to a shipping depot.
Hang with me guys, this should get better. I know I could be making a lot more money just doing the military stuff and not working for the company, but I want my friend's business to work.
Several members are waiting or wanting parts from me, I apologize for being so slow to ship. Glen
