Thank you!!! I tested yesterday. They had immediate results (didn't remember that from my arborist test). Beyond elated. Never thought I'd make it this far, lol

Yeah I got mine recently, decided I’ll never know what I need to study without taking the test so I challenged it. When I took my basic cert I knew I passed but it took FOREVER and to get processed and a cert number. It’s certainly nice to know you passed immediately
I think the challenge is keeping the cert! From others I’ve spoken to some of the specific domains if CEU’s get pretty thin after a while.

Yeah I've heard that too. Going to comps and events is how I'll most likely do it, and the TCIA tailgate book helps.
 
Search tempest is good too for browsing an area through mult platforms. FB marketplace has serious traffic/volume but is the absolute worst-annoying for specific searches! The function is purely to keep you scrolling vs showing the answer for what you fucking asked: 20min ago looked at a lawn chair, then search for “f550” and get some lawn chairs mingled in the results. Bummer Craigslist has dropped in popularity as it has quality code.

I love Craigslist, but yeah it sucks for volume now. It feels like most of these equipment search sites do similar things to FB. They want you looking at it instead of showing you what you want.
 
I have bought 2 trucks sight unseen from across the country. For both I hired an inspection company to go and look at them for me. I beleive it was called lemon squad. I seem to recall that it was short money (couple of hundred bucks) and they send you a detailed report with pictures. Im not a mechanic so I figured that they would do a better inspection than I would if I were there. I was happy with their service both times. Well worth a few hundred. GL with it.
