2016 USSV GX Rhino here's the link if you want to check them out and maybe order you one, they are a little pricey though they start at $229,000 for gas and $239,000 for diesel http://new.usspecialtyvehicles.com/gx
I picked it up at Excell Auto Group https://www.excellauto.com/ While I was there I snapped a few photos. If you're ever the the area check them out

All loaded up and ready for it's new home in Pittsburgh PA
I usually try to take 3 vehicles at a time but this thing weighed in at over 11k pounds which is almost the weight of 3 vehicles so I could only bring this one up

You know its going to be a cold trip when you see snow near the GA FL line

This was my view when I walked out of the hotel in Washington PA, Monday morning. I have to admit it was a little intimidating for this FL boy since this would be the first time I've driven in this kinda of weather, but it wasn't that bad at all.

As I passed this park I could only imagine how much fun my 2 kids would have playing in the snow

Picked up this little guy in Buffalo NY
And across the street was the "World's Greatest Cheeseburger" I should've stopped in for one who knows when I'll be able to have the World's greatest cheeseburger again

Pick up this beauty in Albany NY and had to have in Miami FL in 2 days which made me have to rush. Two days seems like plenty of time but with DOT regulations I can only be on duty for 14 hours and drive a max of 11 hours a day then I have to be off duty for 10 hours before I can start driving again, so it takes me a little longer.

It was a great trip, just wish I had more time to spend but I had to rush back to FL to make a delivery by a certain deadline (these dealerships want the vehicle ASAP)
I look forward to my next trip up north. Maybe I can take the family and take our time up there and enjoy the snowy weather. I know that most people that live up there don't enjoy it but it is a nice change from the hot weather we have down here in FL.

Thanks for reading

Sort:  

You got it backwards lol.. you go to Florida in the winter too get away from that stuff 😁

Nice trip 👍👍

Thank you
Yeah I know maybe one day I can become a snowbird but until then I'll have to go up in the winter then bring them back in May. Coming to FL in the winter and going up north for the summer is definitely the way to go if you can.

My grandparents did that for years... Rockford IL during summer and Clearwater FL during winter..

That's the way to do it. Clearwater is beautiful I live on the same coast about 2 hours south in Fort Myers

I loved North Fort Meyers.. @hustleking and I made about 12K there in 5 weeks

I enjoyed your post. I really enjoyed looking at all those vehicles. Sounds like it could be a fun job.

Thanks for sharing

Thank you
It is a fun job I get to visit new places all the time and meet interesting people, for example the owner of the Rhino was famous. It's really cool the people you get to meet

That's one hell of a haul " pun intended"

Lol... Thank You. Every time I stopped people would come up and ask about the truck and take pictures of it
