Bloomie has a gift for picking loosers.
I used:
Landstar Inway, Inc.
Rockford, IL
800-241-0263
They moved my M998 and M151A2 on two different occassions....Indiana to
NJ...$750 per vehicle. Priced in advance, always knew what day and when it
would be delivered. They have "intensive" paperwork and telephone
"following".
