There are still some people that I catch at the gas station from time to time that are from further north. They always come back with a trailer full of beds stood up on end and usually a bed full of doors. Sometimes the truck and trailer is nothing but doors, fenders, etc. These guys go down and bring them back and sell from their location where as you would be bringing here and not sure how you would go about selling them. Not sure how you would go about finding some midwest contacts to maybe sell your load to and then they could resell.
Roy, I had thought about that too. I do have my sister and brother in law in Kentucky so that may be an option as well. I am not against finding someone that wants to purchase a load and resell for themselves either. I have a friend with a permanent spot at the Carlisle Swap in PA that he said I could have so that is an option as well. I have always wanted to go there and check it out.
