Well, I didn't have any taker's on buying the 42 MRAP seats in Lockbourne, Ohio. So I will delete the add in the classifieds.
So the trip begins..:(

I will leave in the morning(Tuesday) with an empty trailer. Heading up I-75.

Its a 2,295 mile round trip(35 hours non-stop), at 11 MPG it works out to around $765.00 dollars in fuel cost(maybe a little more with a full load).

That puts each seat at my cost of $95.00 to $100.00 each, not counting my time off of work and wear and tear on my truck and trailer.

When I get them back home I will put some up for sale in the Classified Section.

If anyone wants one or more let me know.

I live in southern Ky but travel I-75 to Cincinnati regular . If you need help give me a call and hopefully I won't be at work. There is light road construction in the Lexington area light delays usually and the KSP love to write the double fine tickets through there.. (606)344-2288

Stopped at a rest stop just south of Knoxville, KY last night at 11:30. My appointment for GL is not until Thursday so no hurry. Will be getting back on the road soon.
All is going good.....but I forgot it's COLD up here.

It was 42 this morning, after 75 & rain yesterday. Its spring time & the weather is always changing. I'd rather it be cold or cool for traveling, than 98 in the blazing sun. I may live in Florida, but I never get used to the heat & humidity!

I'm about 30 min out from Lockbourne.
Stopping at the Flying-J off of I-71, exit #69 for the night.
I'll get some food here at Denny's and turn the heat on in the truck.:roll:

Going to try GL first thing in the morning to see if I can get loaded early or if I have to wait until 12:00.
