    If you get it on a step... Then you may not need a wrecker to load & unload. Any real stepdecker will have ramps since a lot of his freight is drive on/drive off!

    I'm not sure where in Florida the car is at... But most reputable parking lot companies can give you a online quote....


    Dependable Auto Shippers just gave me a quote for a vehicle move from Fort Lauderdale, FL to Lakewood, WA for $862.00

    Ok I will do that. I figured that a long distance would be more expensive but it seems like it is going to be cheaper.

    I gotta guy that calls me every other month or so wanting me to lease on and start hauling cars for him. This guy claims he turns down more work than he can do.

    Those 3/4 car trailers with 22.5's are hard to find used. Every time I call on one, its "just" been sold.
