Subject: [tcb] Re: Transprting a 23 window from MO to TX
Thanks everyone for all the replies and the generous offers! I forgot to mention I wasn't to keen on driving it myself - call me a wuss but I have never driven anything that big before for that distance with such a valuble payload.
A guy answered my ad on Uship.com but said he was busy and knew a 20 yr old that he would trust with his own trailer (wich he uses to make a living) to move it for me for $785.00 - the catch is he is not insured (except for auto insurance - that would cover whatever he towed?) and has no CDL license or DOT records. I doubt I could rent a truck/trailer for that price plus gas - actually I priced it and I am looking at 700 for a local rental both ways.
I might take you up on that offer Gerald. I need to find a one way car rental though. I am taking my body man and a friend that could probably push it out of the barn himself so that would make it expensive to fly.
But still, I would rather drive it back than drive a trailer up and back.
Sammie - I am trying to get a hold of Randy as we speak.
Thanks again everyone!

HI everyone,
I don't post much but lurk when I can! I have found a 1959 23 window been in a barn since 1971 for a reasonable price. I am trying to arrange transport from Missouri near the lake of the Ozarks to the Dallas area - 500 miles each way.
Do any of you have any suggestions? I have used Uship.com and put an ad on Craigslist but have only gotten one response. Most of the shipping companies want a 4 day window. I need a 2 hour window on Memorial Day weekend.
It's a long shot but I thought I'd ask.
Thanks in advance.
