All,

I relinquish brigade command on 7 July and the Army is sending us to Ft. Sam Houston, Texas for our next duty station.

Time to move the Dodge! Have any of you used a car transport company? If so who?

I usually move the WC myself but using the trailer to haul the Ben Hur trailer and basic household stuff.

some sunglasses and a bottle of water drive it down with ben hur hooked on the back.

Haha! That would be one long drive

Not a transport service, but transports milvehicles all the time.

Contact Ron Leatherman at Military Vehicle Repair & Restorations.

He is out of Ft Wayne Indiana. He may or may not do it just a suggestion.

With the MVPA Convention in Cleveland maybe you could meet there and see what he can work. If you need work on the vehicle you could have him do it then deliver to you down in Texas

Just a thought.

Go to this webpage. There is a guy on there that does transports. Search or just ask.

Make sure the shipper has insurance for the load. General car insurance doesn't cover transporting someone else's stuff.

I have used this vender to transport an M37 for me a few years ago. I've also referred them to a few friends to transport some MVs, too.

Tell Pat that Bo in Summerville said hi. He should remember me.

As long as it is drivable, most of the auto transport companies will handle it ok. However- they want it driveable & with a working parking brake. Also, most of them have NO CLUE what a WC is! I got all sorts of quotes- until I explained it is a little slammer than a Dodge Ram, and told them the weight(around 5-6k/lbs)... I had a non-runner with no working brakes, so I ended up getting a private hauler through one of the tractor enthusiast sites. He hauled her from Arizona to Indianapolis(where I met him with another truck to complete t he mission home to NJ), but I think he only handles western to central USA hauls...

In any case, take EVERYTHING that can be swiped with YOU- Just in case...

Thanks All for the advice
