Anybody have a good company that can get Henry in SC and bring him here to NJ? Horseless Carriage wants way-y to much money.

Thanks.

Later!

How far away is it Ed? Why not drive it?
Or rent a trailer? Others have told U Haul
that it was a smaller car or truck and did
it just fine. I like to use there dolly and
have pulled full size cars and trucks from
Washington coast to western Colorado just
fine. Food for thought.

 

Road trip? I rented a U-Haul for my F3. Was WELL within size and weight limits of the trailer.

U-Haul wouldn't allow me to rent for that truck because my tow vehicle needed to be bigger according to their "parameters". Even though my trucks specs said otherwise.

I rented it for a vintage Mustang and they had no problem with this combo. You can drive there and rent the trailer one way to save gas and rental time.

 

How much is "waaaay too much"?

 

I can't drive that far anymore. After a career in sales that accounted for 60,000 plus miles a year since 1975, I find it hard to stay awake on trips over 1-2 hours.

Without knowing the exact points in SC and NJ, I'd say that's a 700 mile haul. Not uncommon to pay $1 a mile for a haul like that.

 

I remember there used to be a guy over on the Ford Barn that moved stuff like ours around. He would post where he was and where he was headed and kept that updated. I think he had a setup where he could haul 2 or 3 at a time if need be. He seemed to stay busy, was real reasonable, and depending on how much of a hurry you were in, could usually accommodate you. He seemed to have a good reputation. I think he was on the AACA forums too.

 

send me a pm and remind me to find the card to the guy who moved my truck from NC to NY

 

Don't know exactly what they would charge, but I recently used Western Sky Haulers, they are based out of Montana, family owned. They did the job right and went the distance to do so. I highly recommend them. I actually used them after someone mentioned them on here. You can see loading/unloading pictures with them if you click the build link in my signature, should take you right to it.

$1 per mile seems about right.

You get what you pay for, if you cherish the truck I wouldn't put it in hands in people who don't understand that. Going to cost a whole lot more to fix something if they break it than it would have to pay to have it moved right in the first place.

I bought my first car trailer just so I wouldn't give someone else the money. Best purchase I ever made. 10 years later it was wore out and had to buy a new one

 

Sounds like a great opportunity for a road trip...if you can't make the drive yourself, then bring a co-pilot. School's out, I bet there are a number of kids that would love to make the trip with you.

 

I PAID 1100 FROM gA TO Cal

 

I used a guy from Raleigh to move my F3 about 8 months ago. Enclosed transport and very happy with the service. I PM'ed you his contact info. If you are patient and can wait until he can combine loads he should give you a pretty good deal.

 

I have used Uship a couple times with good success.
