Recently I had a need for truck transport and discovered Mr. Rich Jennings. When I mentioned to him that I own A PW, he replied with the messages below. I have not met him, and have not engaged him to do anything for me. But he seems like he's "one of us."

"Thanks for the reply. As a matter of fact, my father still has an original
and very rough '48 Dodge Power Wagon' he'd bought new when he started
farming - flathead engine and 16" wheels, along with about everything else
he'd ever bought in his years of farming and still has. He is still at it
and 75 years old. It's the first vehicle I'd operate around the farm, feed
cattle, picking up hay bales and general chores. He'd plowed a 20 acre
field with a 3 bottom trip lift trailer plow to see if it'd do it back in
it's earlier years.....used it many times to 'get the milk cans out' when
the blowing snow had closed the road and the 'Power Wagon cut it's on path
through the fields and woods with chains on all four wheels, for pickup at
the state highway! My brother and I often took it to the back country deer
hunting. Needless to say, fond memmories!
You surely can contact the 'Power Wagon' people, I'd be glad to talk with
them.
Thanks, Rich
Upstate Pa. Mansfield, Pa., just south of Elmira/Corning, NY, is my home
area. Generally, I'm hauling units from all over this area and the upper
midwest to New England and upper east coast areas, for a number of regular
customers. I haul a number of Kamatsu dozers for an account near
Springville, NY, and numerous other
collectors dealers and ebay accounts.
I lived in central Iowa, near Cedar Rapids through the 90's and have been
through and hauled throughout the central states regularily. I returned to
my home area of upstate Pa. area, two years ago, to live, and have been
hauling equipment New England through the upper midwest full time since.
Primarily I haul current ag and industrial equipment, collector/restored
units, both finished and part units and current dealer inventory.
Throughout the area, I regularily haul small dozers for the account
mentioned above, south of Buffalo, NY and numerous ebay accounts
throughout
all this area. In the mid west, a number of John Deere dealerships call
me
to relocate equipment and haul their out of state sales, as well as their
ebay sales.
I've hauled numerous military vehicles this past year, 6x6's, jeeps and
power wagon chasssis plus Unimog's. In two weeks I've got an unrestored
(from the European sector) Power Wagon chassis based anti-aircraft running
unit, that I picked up in New Hampshire and it goes to St. Louis. I
delivered one with two blade assemblies from western New York to Watertown
area a month ago. My truck is a '05 Dodge Ram dually w/trailer 31' tandem
dually 20,000#, a low deck with beavertail and ramps, and I pickup and
deliver 'door to door'.
My '04 trailer has tandem dually axles, beavertail and ramps. I will give your needs the attention you expect with a truthful answer on timeframe and what I can do. Additional references and
followup readily supplied.
You can reach me at 570-419-3851 (truck cell) to discuss.
Thanks,
Rich Jennings"
