1$ reversing my BFL 8331 truck into the 40 feet container for shipment to Costa Rica. 1$ did most of the lashing down of the 6 trucks, into 3 x 40 feet containers. I was really amazed, as it only took him less than 2 hours to get the 3 containers ready. Guess how much we saved by doing it ourselves. USD 250 per truck x 6 trucks = USD 1500 !!!
The Central America is on a very tight budget as the current Global Economic Slowdown has led to 10 particpants cancelling their entries, which has left a tremendous strain on even covering total costs for the event.

1$ and Thomas were at Cartagena on the 21st February to load our 6 trucks that were left in Storage at Cartagena, after our South America 2 expedition that ended on the 22nd December 2008.
