    just a quick caution to those using these services. My next door neighbor just sold his 56 Ford Truck to a man in Maine. He used a broker, the guy who showed up to pick up the truck had a nice enclosed trailer
    pulled by a Dodge Dually. the truck had a nova front end and was very low in front. problem 1 was his ramp was too short to load such a low truck. In his defense he claimed he asked the broker and was told the truck was not lowered. I and a couple other neighbors managed to make a ramp extension using lumber so the truck could be loaded. issue 2 was he already had 3 motorcycles in the trailer, and had to
    move one into the back of his dually. I would be really pissed if my property was hauled in the back of an open pickup. Guess it got to Maine ok, of course the guy who bought it complained about a bunch of things, all of which where disclosed to him. Could not be bothered to make a 4 or 5 hour drive to look at
    a mid 3ok truck prior to buying it.
    Back on topic, don't trust a broker to have anyone's interest's except his own.

    Penske worked for me. lol Yes I loaded my 31 ford truck in the back of 16 foot Penske truck. I had a friend with a rollback help unload it. 1200 miles enclosed. The most cheapest and I did the hauling. Made a weekend trip out of it. It also was the fastest way to get it home.

    Has anyone had any experience with haulers bringing cars South from Canada ( Toronto area) and dealing with Customs and other border issues during the Covid border shutdown?
    I purchased a hotrod last spring and can't get there to pick it up myself.
