I was sitting here reading a lot of post yesterday and this early am and was wondering if when I get back to work and making some money about calling some of the supply places and see if they give a discount for bulk, I mean like pallets of stuff for a good discount.
Reason being is some of the places aren't far away from NC, and I have a full size truck and 12 enclosed trailer, and well for the price of fuel it would be worth it to go get it, come back and distribute it all out at a meeting place for us to agree on.
Just an idea I am sure some of you have had also.
Just like yesterday I was looking at lehmans website and the shipping on a wood cooking stove was like $255, I know it wont take more than a tank there and back costing me at tops $160 with just my truck, if I tow the trailer it drops a little more, but at most it would add another tank at around 65-80$ depending on where I fuel up.
Like I said, it is an idea I have had since I have a truck to do it with and trailer, and like some of you not a lot of the supply's I need to support my family if something were to happen.
Maybe it is worth it, maybe not??
Right now I guess I am thinking out loud to see what others think of the idea, maybe some of you have talked with these suppliers?
It would be great for everyone to put in their two cents to see what you think.
