Well... I may have a problem. IF my truck makes it all the way to LA (and I hope it does) then I will have to figure out what to do with it. There are a few options.
1. Sell it for what it is worth... maybe $800.
2. Ship it back via a semi-truck transporter... approx. $700.
3. Store it.... don't know the cost. In LA too? Might get stolen.
4. Have some one drive it back for me... priceless.
So... those are my options. I guess the best option would be for someone to drive it around and possibly deliver it to P'cola or park it in their yard somewhere or something like this. Any ideas?
So if somebody would like to join me in LA and drive my truck around in the end of June or first part of July that would be killer (literally too, no A/C). I can't imagine the misery of that truck on a freeway in LA for 2 hours of bumper to bumper traffic pumpin' the clutch and sweating furiously. That is surely someones version of hell.
One other thing is that I will have a bike with me and a lot of camping gear that I will need to either ship back via the mail or ship back with my truck. Shipping all of that stuff, bike included would probably cost over a hundred dollars. So that is something to consider too. Better put on my thinking cap...

Well I just called a Los Angeles moving company to get a price quote on transporting the truck back to Florida from California and it was sky high. The quote was $895 and she said it will go up to $995 as the summer goes on and demand increases. Ouch. I'm gonna check the blue book value of my old truck in a minute, its probably less than all that.

Excellent $1,235
Good $1,085
Fair $810
So the cost of transporting it is equivalent to the selling price. So I am definitely not going to put it on a truck and ship it across the country. Scratch that idea off the list.
