Re: Auto transport service

You certainly have a truck that could pull a car trailer. Do you have a trailer or can you rent one (Uhaul)? Where are you bringing it from? You are in the Northeast so if you would be trailering it across the north, it could be a harry time to pull a trailer through snow and ice. You can probably figure 8 mpg ave. plus tolls to wherever and back, and you need whatever time off. You will take the most pains in trailering it home because its your baby - if it is economically feasible to do so. I've had a couple vehicles shipped - a 67 Bel Air wagon from Las Vegas and a 70 Burb from St. Louis. Not happy either time. On the wagon, it drove onto a seven car carrier in Vegas. When it got to my house it was being pulled by a flat bed with a wheel lift for the last 400 miles (dumped to another carrier) on rear tires that were dry rotted and a rear end that hadn't been checked to determine if it had gear oil in it - Oh and it no longer ran. Some punks beat the snot out of it at the yard in Ohio and jumped/bent several push rods. The Burb just took a few weeks but it also wouldn't start on arrival. That just needed a battery.
