    Im in a bind....ended up with a pick up truck in Ozona Texas and need to get it home to Houston. A friend gave me the number of some "brokers" and I've called them but they don't answer.
    ( great way to do business! ) and they don't return voice mails......

    Got numbers for someone dependable?

    Thanks!

    That's only about a 6 or so hour drive isn't it ? Have you thought about driving from Houston to Ozona with a car, then renting a U-Haul two wheel car dolly, then using the truck to pull the car back to Houston ? Maybe have a buddy drive you there to pick it up ? Why do you need it transported ?

    Yep been there. Truck runs fine and wont fit on a U haul dolly or trailer. It's a crew cab. U haul are such butts too. Tried telling me my 400 hp Duramax couldn't pull the the F150.....

    Nope, need a dove tail or a parking lot to give her a ride or going to have to buy a trailer myself.....

    Re-read my post. If you don't have a car, could you borrow one ? My point was to use the F150 to tow the car back to the east.

    Only thing that fits on a tow dolly is an import. I'd have to go to a major city and rent one to make that work....and then rent the dolly. Rather find a broker-o/o passing thru and if not, buy a 22' tandem and use my 400hp Duramax that U haul said wouldn't pull it....to pull it.

    The Duramax is how I ended up with the 150 here......dealer tried to steal the F150 in deal and I said no.

    Thanks tho...

    If you are still looking you could advertise on UShip for a car hauler. Most car haulers use Central Dispatch. I don't remember if individuals can advertise a vehicle to be transported. Another way would be to google car haulers or auto transport. A step deck with ramps could also transport your vehicle. If there is a rollback in that area, you could have them load it on a step and then hire one to unload it at the destination. Another option would be to buy or rent a towbar and pull it back to Houston.
