It's that slow or what?

Opel2010 · May 30, 2012

Last week I had one short run (550 mi) with delivery on Tuesday. Since then, I'm just waiting, and waiting, and waiting... and I'm not in Texas, but in Harrisburg, PA...

We have had several loads out of the PA area in the last few days. They were straight truck loads. Not sure if that makes a difference or not?

I drive a CV, not straight truck. They said PA is good, and yes, usually I get runs outta here pretty fast, but not these days. That's why I was wondering if it's slow everywhere or it's just my co.

Not really sure on van freight? But you are right, it usually is pretty steady in that area.

Why didn't you simply move a little closer to NJ? More freight in the eastern side of the state ... well, for me anyway.

I'm not an east coast fan...

I'd rather wait 5 days in Vegas than 2 days in New England...

Harrisburg is generally a decent area. I think the safest rule of thumb is a 24 hour wait - then it's time to roll.

Funny thing... I had an Opel Vectra back in 05. I bought it when I went to Germany, used it for my vacation then sold it before coming back... better than renting

I never checked for an Opel in states, but I tried to find a Renault Clio... the only place where I actually saw one was in Harlingen... registered in Mexico
