WANTED: BUS DRIVER **** MAYBE**** Jeez

[ros]

I have a very nice fellow who is going to inspect the bus in Tennessee, that I have talked about.

Naturally, I hope that his report is positive and if it is, I am going to try to find someone to drive it back to central Texas.

In fact, if the inspector is too busy or such, I would like to know of  someone else that could inspect it.

The ideal person would be very familiar with 4905s and 8V71n.

I can't pay for your next vacation but I could give a bit a Christmas money.

Thanks,

Ros

Hire Gumpy to inspect it!
He did the most professional job I know of on my truck and even offered to deliver it. I'd recommend his inspections to anyone, even you!

Why not get on board a old Grey dog lay back enjoy the ride and inspect it yourself no matter who inspects the bus there is no guarantees it will last 100 miles or 250,000 mile just roll the dice and go for it

Clifford   I met a big two tone blue bus with a dog on the side of it.

It was motoring down I40 saturday. did not look like the old dog buses that i remember.

hope they come back for some of the younger kids have a bus to buy and spend money on.

Where is the bus and where does it need to go?

When will it be ready to roll? Who is doing the inspection? Are they a good bus mechanic?

Take Clifford's advice.  Ros I doubt you begin to realize what you are asking someone to do.  This is not like picking up a rental car.  Making a first time trip in a 20+ year old bus is not for the faint of heart and certainly not something I would dream of asking anyone to do for free.

Here's my thought...if you were buying my bus......I would deliver it...
you'd pay...but I'd deliver it.
course mines not for sale ...

Donald I tried that once we made deal when I delivered the Prevost when I arrived (1100 miles) he was going to pay for the fuel and the bus when we checked every thing out he didn't want to pay for the fuel because I was charging him for the full tank that was in the bus 200 gals then he found 1 item he didn't like and wanted 11,000 bucks off the agreed price.

I just started the bus and drove it back to Phoenix then he called and said he was suing that never happen people require a big deposit before delivering a bus which I wasn't smart enough to do

I forgot to mention that the cash would have already settled in my wallet....

Hey Clifford. I delivered it to you with no deposit.  lol. I wouldn't deliver it to Bobby Easter without a contract and a deposit. He never came through. Surprise!

However, I would have paid for the whole trip out of my own pocket if you wouldn't have come through. That is how comfortable with you and who you are. Turns out you were just as awesome as I thought. All of you guys. It was fun.

Please put me on ignore, AH.

Hi, Uncle Ned.

I just changed my post to MAYBE.  I have not yet decided that if I am going to try to hire a driver.  I am just exploring the possibilities.

I will see how it shakes out and if I decide to go that route, I will contact Gumpy.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Because I refuse to leave my dog in a kennel.  If it weren't for her, I would fly, take Amtrak for real fun but will probably end up driving.

Clifford, there are no guarantees that I will even live long enough to buy a bus.

However, plans are in the works.

Thanks

Hey, John.

The bus is in Tennessee and it needs to go to central Texas, near Austin.  It is ready to roll right now.  The inspector wishes to remain anonymous.

I don't think the person is a mechanic. 

Ros

Where is the bus and where does it need to go?

When will it be ready to roll? Who is doing the inspection? Are they a good bus mechanic?
