Subject:      Honest/ Reliable Vanagon  Semi Transporter Needed
Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

As some may remember, I posted a while back about trucking my 84 Westy from
Salt Lake City to Boston for a trip we have planned in the 2nd half of May.

It is going to happen, but the more I research auto transporters, the more
hesitant I become to trust my baby to one.

Doing my research on the web, there are gazillions of auto transport
companies or at least brokers who get a real carrier for you & take a cut of
the cost.  The problem is that many of them appear to be fly by night
operations & scams w/ little reliability for getting the vanagon there on
time & in 1 piece.  It also appears that anything I ship in the westy that's
not screwed down, is not covered insurance wise, & for a camping trip,
obviously we would need a bunch of stuff that we normally carry in the
westy.

Does any one have specific recommendations for a reliable carrier that they
have used & can recommend again?

Thanks,

Tom-4 days driving, 2500 miles 1 way, or $1100 to ship, my peace of
mind=priceless?
