a week for transport
quotes from folks who are thinking
about buying a vehicle 2500 or more
miles from where they live …
If I have not done business with
them before - I ask for specifics:
Vehicle - condition - p/u & drop off
zip codes - timeframe - budget.
90% of the time they are expecting
transport below the cost
of equipment operation …
As low as
$0.15 a mile in some cases.
I just tell them no one I know
who drives the truck pulling
the trailer transporting vehicles
will do it for their budget.
I pay a fair price for goods.
I pay a premium price for good service
and I tip generously.

When I asked you for a quote 5 or 6 months ago I was looking for a yardstick that I could use to chose between various options. I had no specific number in mind for transportation. But transportation , plus the cost of the car had to total up to a number that made sense to me. I have seen your posts on here and thought there was a good chance you could provide the sort of transport service I was looking for .You simply told me that virtually no car was worth transporting from New York State to Washington State. I got the distinct impression you were not interested in doing business with me. I carried on and ran the numbers on my other options.
