truck hauled

ok so i just bought a 2002 dodge ram with a blown up motor , i am looking for the best deal i can get , does anyone have any ideas , it does not have to make it all the way just not looking to make a 2400 mile trip...the truck is in jacksonville florida , i am in iowa , 50588 is my zip..i can drive it and spend about 800-900 in gas , juast dont want to close the shop for 2-3 days..if you now someone my cell is 712-299-7244 thanks..

look for car haulers man i bought a car in cali and had it shipped to me this way, and it was right around a grand they will drop off at a local truck stop to you

i used one from ebay man

we did also.. the hummer we got from cali... costed 1k but they scratched the top pulling it off so they took of 200 on the bill so only 800 ...took them i think 5 days to get it here

yup nice and easy

right after i posted this i went on google and typed car transport , i filed out two different site and got responses right away , so far the cheapest is 700 , thats about what i would spend in gas , so its a no brainer....

yeah man its really nice when yuo dont have to worry about it

i been kicking around the idea of getting into this as a career when i retire

buy me a 4 car gosneck trailor and have at it

4 cars 700-1000 a car is great money for the weekend lol

You have to have proper insurance for this and DOT authority or hire on to someone that has all of that. Your average insurance will not cover work for hire. this is what we do, I know. With the new CSA2010 rules in place...some fly-by-night winging type operation won't last long. I would turn one in in a heartbeat. its too hard to do what we do 'right'.

To the OP...get their insurance certificate when you hire them...and DOT #.

yeah ummm i know


and i have been hauling equipment for ever man

tanks/guns/talors full of military generators lol

but yeah ya see i have a level of education and well i know you cant just all the sudden decide to do this out the blue nor would i want to on a shitty car insurance

hahaha watch them car hauler's most of them are broker's and have no pull with the driver at all.

I was quoted $1200 and 2 week window to move two cars from co-ca. well i have to be here and be there fro the driver.well that wont work.
then if i wanted a 1 week window it was $400 extra,then a 3 day window was another $400 then if i wanted them there on a certain day it was $1200 per car.

I found it easier just to trailer them down there myself and come back for the rest.

there is a website that you can see ratings for these hauling company's i suggest checking it out before making a choice because there is some crap on there that might make you think twice


here you go http://www.transportreviews.com/

one trick i didnt like was when the driver shows up and wont pick up till they re-negotiate the price and charge you more

yup...exactly!!!!!!!! So glad you chimed in with that.

most of those review pages are independent...this one seems pretty good. Gives company chance to respond and what not. Heck, we're even on there. I don't run freight that direction often or I would quote that.
