Re: IML: U-Haul vs private carrier

["Don Hudson" <mopar4me@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I contracted with a carrier out of CA (M&R Transport) to haul a 65 Dart wagon from Burbank CA to VA (it's being delivered today).  Cost was $875.  Wife and I were planning on flying out and driving back but had to change our plans.

Have you seen and paid for the car yet? If not, you might want to think about looking at it in person first. St. Paul is the land of snow, ice and salt which boils down to lots-o-rust! Something you might not be familiar with in AZ.

Hi!

I'm trying to decide which is the best way to get my '48 Crown Imperial from MN to AZ.  Although I have many talents I can't drive two vehicles at the same time.  I have reserved a U-Haul transport for 2 weeks from now which was my original plan, to pull behind my Dodge Ram.  However tonight I was thinking of all the wear and tear, etc. as well as a the WEIGHT issue and started to think of a possible alternative via a professional carrier.

Do any of you know any contacts for a reputable carrier?   I think I'm much better off checking out all of the possibilites.   The limo is about 20 minutes NE of downtown St. Paul and would be delivered to the Eastern side of Mesa, AZ.

I know that some carriers use flatbeds and other use walled trailers.  Info on either will be most appreciated.

Thanks!
