    Watching your videos inspires me to get into the business. Wife doesn't want me to do it but I sure would like to jump in. I'm an older fella, 66, and waiting on her to retire in 4 yrs. What better way to make it go by. I like the tone and convenience of your experiences with Dan's. Ti.e will tell. Take care, be safe.

    Spoke with Ryan today. Looking at a couple trucks 2moro. There is a 21 Ram at the local Chevy dealer. 36k miles. It's a ton dually so if I do that outfit I'll be in the CDL bracket. Ryan wants to hear from me after I look that over. They have a new chevy at 80k but I've heard bad things on the duramax injector systems. I'll have Dan's do the whole thing there.

      Yep, we don't recommend the Chevy as we've have heard the same. That's exciting that you are moving forward! Ryan at Dan's is a really helpful and knowledgeable person, we love him and the whole Dan's crew, they really know their stuff..we were just in there this week! They are amazing. mention to Ryan, you were referred to them by the Transport Bandits! Lol!

      Our truck fenders are aluminum and the flares are plastic, but the 2019 F350 aluminum leaves us with little worry about rust. So, we dont anticipate a problem there.

    Do you know if they will inspect and certify a tank if you didn’t buy brand new from them. I bought a tank from a former transporter who originally bought it from them but the inspection plate wasn’t on it. I did have Dan install it but I didn’t know it had to be inspected at the time, so I never inquired about it. Also you mentioned Idaho is Idaho one of the only states that will look at that or is it every state?

    • @TransportBandits
      @TransportBandits  Před 2 lety

      Hey, yep I think Dan's will inspect it. And I just mentioned Idaho as an example...Any state, any DOT officer could pull you over in any and all states to do an inspection.

      @@TransportBandits Oh boy I found something that they can’t do. Just my luck. A friend of mine who got out of transport sold me his 75 gallon Trax 3 tank and I had Dan’s install it. I never inquired about the DOT placard when I have them do that. But I just talk to them in they said that’s something they can’t do because it has to come from the manufacture from being tested at the factory. So I just contacted transfer flow in now I’m just waiting for your response.

      Hey, sorry, I got a new phone, and I been busy setting it all up, so sorry for the delay in response.
      I think that transfer Flow tanks are great and would go with that if that is what you'd like to do and Dan's can get that for you if they don't already have it. Check Dan's prices on those.

I thought he was looking something up or something and gave him a chance to figure it out but he just basically walked away so bought it elsewhere. I like
    Ryan but don't like tagging along behind him to talk to him. I liked Dually Depot the one time i was there until i heard the mechanic grabbing gears (manual trans) while bringing it around the front. Gotta be other shops in Elkhart area?????
