[Fot] Cross country car hauling

[Brad Kahler]

Amici,
For those of you on the east coast who might want to pool your resources to get your cars hauled to the west coast for the FOT event we found a very good and reliable transporter when we had our 2000 Roadster shipped from Pasadena to Arkansas.  
CIM Trucking (pronounced Kim).  (602) 803-0032
He has a 6 car enclosed hard sided car hauler with winch capabilty.  We felt very comfortable through the whole process when he moved our Roadster.  
When we decided to make the move from Arkansas to Kentucky I asked Cim what he would charge to haul 6 cars for us from Jefferson AR to Richmond KY and ended up with a price of around $1400 for the 6 cars, granted that was only 650 miles.  What it amounted to is he was willing to "rent" his trailer for a weekend and we had exclusive use of it.  Instead of charging us for each car he ended up charging by the mile for the use of his truck.  He was even willing to let us fill up the various spaces in the trailer with other odds and ends.
My guess is a group of you might be able to make similar arrangements with him to haul your cars to and from the east coast.  Might be worth looking into.
Brad
