Well I made it home tonight, with my first sawmill. Headed over to Missoula from Portland Friday after work. The gentleman selling it and his wife were very nice people, I had thrown the biggest alder I could handle in the back of pickup and we sawed through it so I could see the everything was in working order  and get a little bit of a feel for the machine. I just pulled it back slow and easy with lots of stops to check on the trailer package, everything held up just fine, I didn't get pulled over so not sure if I needed any paperwork. I don't need any in Oregon so I should be fine now excited to get it going tomorrow and start getting an organized system in place. Thank you all for your input and advice, directly to this post or indirectly through all of the other posts of combed through over the past couple of months.

Finally got to run a log through today. Took advice from the forum and made some stickers from furring strips, used my router to make them H shaped. Also, as advised just started with a scrappy firewood log. I did not run my blade into anything but wood yet!

  Just want to give you another thumbs up on your decision to go with
 the Lunbermate 2000. My first sawmill was the Lumbermate Mark 4 that
 I bought used and was very satisfied with it; sold it and bought a new
 Lumbermate 2000. It was one of the best mills I have owned and only sold it
 because I found a good deal on a  Woodmizer LT30 with only 280 hours on it.
 I kept the 2000 for a while after buying the LT30 because I didn't want to
 get rid of it.
 Norwood has a good forum for Norwood sawmillers you might like to join.

I don't have anything to compare it to, but it sure does seem solid. The couple that sold it were a little sad to see it go, it was almost like adopting a dog from them, they took photos of it pulling down the driveway.
