"Uncle Rob" Yukon Road Trip Back to Texas: But First.. To Greg Alberalla's Shop!

What happens here

The creator makes a fuel stop, remarking on the unusual experience of a long drive without a diesel truck and trailer. He is about 100 miles from Greg's house and expresses excitement to see Greg's setup, particularly his Peterbilt truck. After the fuel stop, he finally arrives at Greg's place, where he meets Greg and immediately inspects the Peterbilt. Greg explains that the truck is a work in progress, having been stripped down from an over-the-road truck. He humorously recounts how it was moved (illegally) from New Jersey to Kentucky, with locked air brakes, and then towed into its current spot in the driveway because the tow strap couldn't reach further into the garage. Greg mentions they are close to getting the Peterbilt running again, needing only a couple of fuel lines and some miscellaneous parts, including new fuel tanks.

Goal: Refuel for the final leg, arrive at Greg's, and examine the Peterbilt project.
