As a recent college engineering grad who formerly had only been exposed to the typical American life (piling on as much debt as possible in hopes of keeping up with the Joneses), you guys have really got the gears turning in my head and have opened a new way of thinking for me.After recently obtaining a good paying job, I almost made the mistake of buying a new truck and taking on some of the other bad debt that comes with most college grads; instead, I have chosen to put my eggs in the real estate basket.

I too have thought about trucking used homes from out of state as a stopgap.  

Or you can rent a truck and take it to the dump yourself.

If that works out all the other worse case monsters may disappear.

Prior to the military, I did concrete work, drove a truck (I got my CDL when I was 16), and operated heavy equipment.

Especially because large sites like that have access to work trucks. 

It'll be difficult to see all my buddies new trucks and sports cars on the road next to my 120k mile dodge dart, but will absolutely be worth it :)  Best of luck this year with all your endeavors, and Go Rockets! 

I work on refrigerated trucks.

(Looking to avoid emissions in CT as it is a diesel truck).Thank you in advance for any insight / advice with this

In most companies The office management usually get the ax not the guy driving the delivery truck in a severe downturn .
