Well, we stopped running to the Left Coast about 2 years ago. The high price of diesel made that decision for us. I am not only a carrier, but I also have my broker authority.
Not all of us brokers are bad. Most of them charge a non-refundable fee up front without ever having done anything to move your vehicle. We DO NOT opperate that way. We try to locate a transporter to haul your vehicle first and once its on the truck and on its way, then we ask that you pay the transporter upon delivery and also send us our fees (usually 15% of the total qoute).
Some brokers will also promise you the world. We make no promises, NEVER.
But we will do the absolute best we can to get the job done.
What area of California would this vehicle be going too?
$950 to the carrier+$150 refundable broker fees. this is for a non-op vehicle, however it can be driven on and off the truck, it just has a really badly worn valve guide.
Its going to Visalia, Ca in Tulare county. Its going to be dropped off at my dads well drilling company so I can use the shop to fix it.
10 days are up on wednesday. If they do not find a carrier i was just going to drop it off at a DAS location. they said it might sit for two weeks but it would eventually get there.
I am leaving NC in two weeks so i need a plan to get it out of here.
By the way, love the truck, my wife always points out the peterbilt trucks to me she loves them to!
