The Car Haul Damage Thread:

Reason I asked was we had a driver p/u a new van and didn't remove the antenna, he was going to Buffalo and some of those overpasses are #### low, think the end of the antenna caught one and bounced it off the windshield.

We normally remove them but he missed it as this upfitter usually ships them with antenna inside car.

 

We do a lot of upfitter work as well thanks for the info..

 

Route was Scranton area to Columbia, Missouri mostly interstate highway except for a trip thru our yard in backwoods Pennsylvania...Lots of construction along the way with a bit overpass work...I can't recall my exact height on that paticular van though..

Deliberate wouldn't surprise me as the kids were not back in school yet I don't think...It would take near perfect timing to hit me while I'm at highway speed though..


I'm over it..

 

I picked up new Range rover last week in CA and hauled it to NJ, the car was brand new and guy who gave me almost licked it by tongue, could not mark anything in the paper. hopefully i drove it without any scratches, but trailer hoses leaked and F oil splashed on the vehicle. I took it to the office from where local truck delivered it, did not hear any complains hopefully oil would come off

 

What is "F oil"????

 

Im guessing ####ing oil. Lol

 

I see the scenario now. The dealer in NJ goes to wash and prep the vehicle and the paint lifts off. The prep kid is there looking at bare metal. HAHAHAHAHAHA
This is what we have out there moving vehicles these days.

 

Very similar to a Harley Davidson, I have yet to see a carhauler that didn't drip someplace. Dawn dishwashing detergent and some water takes hydraulic fluid right off.

 

Same here. In fact I used to have to check in new vehicles off the transport trucks back in the late 1990s-early 2000s. A lot of dealerships I worked at had Cassens Transport drop off vehicles and a few times because of their equipment some of the vehicles had paintwork damage because of HYDRAULIC FLUID leaks from the transports themselves.
