Need to have a few trucks hauled
 
I need to have a few trucks hauled from Kansas City to Arizona and I was wondering if anyone can point me towards a reputable company or someone who can haul 3 or 4 trucks that are inoperable. I know it will cost around $900 each and I'm good with that but I need someone who can be there to pick them up March 5th or 6th. Just want reliability.
Atleast 3 long bed trucks and if possible a short bed
Any help would be awesome :chevy:

Okay, I had 3 of my trucks hauled and they arrived today and I just wanted to post My experience for anyone looking to have a truck transported.
I'm going to start by saying that I called and talked to 12-15 transport companies that I could find off of google and all the ones that had the most reviews. I can honestly tell you that probably all of them were brokers who had no idea who the driver would be or cared as long as you gave them there brokers fee upfront ($300-400) which they say is supposed to book the driver. I really felt that if you gave them the money you would probably never see it again and probably never get them to contact you again. The second after I started calling them my phone blew up with numbers from all across the country from different people who were interested in hauling my vehicles. I have received probably 3-4 calls a day and probably that many emails as well from all sort of people. I had been looking for probably 2 weeks and I was really disappointed that I couldn't find a company who actually had drivers and trucks, I was about to break down and try one of these brokers, but I just happened to pass a nice 3 vehicle transport trailer with a winch built in and a nice truck with a company name on the side of "Horizon Transport"
I immediately looked them up on google and they came right up and I called. Long story short I was on the phone with Joe a real guy who was in charge of the flat bed division, and they have actually drivers/trucks. I told him I needed 3 trucks hauled and I needed them picked up in a 2 day time period and he said that wasn't a problem (all the other companies wanted 2-5 day pickup window) and that he could have all 3 hauled for $3,400, (that price was a little more expensive than some of the others but that was okay with me). He never asked for any money upfront and said he would call me early next week and have the drivers info and time frame then. Everythimg whnt super smooth and everything happened just like they said it would. They also didn't ask for any money until they arrived with my trucks and it was very professional!
Just wanted to share and say that you might want to make sure you get a company who has actual drivers/trucks and read the online reviews.
I will be using Horizon in the future.

Re: Need to have a few trucks hauled
 
Glad it worked out for you. I shipped 4 of my cars when I moved. The driver was cool. Very good. But I had to get through all the broker B.S. (And there was a lot of it) They kept jerking me around. I was living in a vacant house with nothing but my cars and me waiting on them. And then I was pounded with emails from shippers for about a year afterward. I already moved. I was done. Leave me alone. No dice. They kept bugging me.

I really hope that I don't move again.

I looked them up on the internet and they only show RV shipping. Do you have a name and contact number? Thanks

good to know, I ship trucks occasionally too and thank you for the contact.

although, i will admit when you said $900 ea for non runners I thought you were guilty of a little bit of wishful thinking.

this was last november, both going to my brothers place by erie. had i seen your post earlier I would have recommended him but I still think you saved money.

I used Amerifreight twice in the past year. Both transports went smooth as silk! I highly recommend them. Richard Jernigan is the man I was working with.

I got a nephew that is about to start his own hauling business. He was an over the road trucker but wants to work for himself. He's waiting on a few final permits and then he's ready. Has truck and trailer so when he get's set up I'll post up his contact information.

He is located in south west Missouri but I'm sure he's not gonna turn down much business.

How soon will he be starting? What kind of rig does he have?
Thanks,

Rob

Re: Need to have a few trucks hauled
 
My nephews rig looks very similar to what Classic V6 posted in his photo. Also, from what he is indicating to me he is willing to roll pretty much coast to coast. Of course it will be all driven by logistics and $$.
