Need transport from Adair, OK to Staunton, VA

I bought a 51 5 window on ebay. Contracted with expressautotransport to carry it to VA for me but they are so far "unable to assign my truck to a driver". I'm not sure why they even took the order if they can't do the job, but just looking for good recommendations for a carrier. I've owned my truck for over a week and we've got separation issues!

Thanks,
Doug

I don't care who you choose to move it


INSURE IT it will cost pennies and IF something happens you have 2 people to chase to get some recourse...I can NOT stress this enough!!

ok other than that do a quick search there is someone else having the same woa's

Sorry I don't mean to offend anyone...I haul alot of cars and stuff in the winter and I insist on any thing I carry be insured......I also take pics of everything I pick up expesially if there is any damage down to the scratchs ..I call the new owner and discuss anything I see before loading so everything is up front and clear!! This Only saves me and the owner and BS when I drop it off......IF there is an issue I can turn it over to my insurance

BUT for what it cost to put full coverage on it for a few days while being transported I consider CHEAP.....things happen that we can not control...I find it also make the owner feel alot better knowing they are completely covered ....TWICE...

sorry again it wasn't ment ot offend anyone....

Jeff

and yes some people are sue happy this just protects us too...........

Hot,

I understand protecting ones self from things we cant control. I didnt really take offense to what you said. Ijust didnt like the way you wrote it. Just seemed like you were plotting a course of action before anything happened with the "2 people to chase" comment.

I have been a class A cdl driver for over 8 years now,I know thats not much when there are some older guys who have decades under there belts. All Im saying is that it seemed a bit abrasive to make such a strong comment. I dont sugar coat anything.

This isnt my first rodeo with transporting cars.

LMAO ...NP I have been moving heavy equipment since 1982 so yea I have a few miles under my belt running up and down the east coast under my own ICC #S since 87 I move HE all summer and light duty stuff all winter....

we all know there are some guys running with NO ins or ICC#'s that will do it cheap but if something happens the owner would be SOL that why I insist on it

So check your left turn signal fluid and drop te hammer!!

Jeff

Re: Need transport from Adair, OK to Staunton, VA

I was just kidding!!! I hope you get something worked out. I know zero about long haul. My bladder does put out some serious stream though... maybe Oklahoma to Alabama...
