Month One-Getting truck home

First decision was whether to drive the GMC home or to have it trailered. After talking to a lot of individuals decided to trailer it home. Although the Fire Department that sold the truck declared it was road worthy the truck had been sitting for awhile. Where the truck was parked made it difficult to properly check all fluids, tire pressure,bearings, etc. to determine their current status. Used a local towing company to pick up the truck. Their fee schedule was below that of national carriers and by being local they were easily available for communication and coordination. When picking up something from someone else be prepared to either to have great cooperation or have none at all. The gentlemen who represented the Fire Department were fantastic. I was not able(health issues at the time) to go with the towing company at the time they picked up the truck. The owner of the towing company stated that he received all the cooperation he needed.
