Ok, so I have a question.
Who would you recommend I contact for a customer that wants to ship his new boat from Vancouver BC to Moncton NB?
Boat would be on a trailer, perfect for step deck. Boat is an aluminum cruiser, about 6500# including trailer. Would be perfect on a step deck, with the tires off would be under height.
Trying to give the customer a few options here on transporting his new boat. Figured someone here would be able to recommend someone.
Thanks,
OP

You eliminated the best carriers with the first 2 words in the thread title . Be forewarned . You get what you pay for .

I haul $300,000 cars and my insurance company told me NOT to haul boats,($80,000 Cobalts), as they wouldn't cover them.
Call that couple on Shipping Wars, they're good with moving boats........... -
Maybe I should just rent a truck and take it down myself and fly back? About $3800 to rent a one way truck, the boat is already on a trailer, and about a week of my time or my driver, rather than paying a company $8000 or so to haul the boat?
Interesting, I thought that perhaps someone would know of a reputable company that would have been able to handle a fairly basic load like that.

Try uship website. You should be able to find a hot shot company to pull it there easily.

UShip is the place to go for people wanting to pay "back haul " rates . They won't find a hotshot company to pull for their rates .
Some hotshotters do selectively use UShip . There's a group of them that tell each other about good shippers and they then deal with those shippers directly . You can't go to a shipper you found on UShip but they can't stop you from giving someone else a lead to it .
