[TR] car haulers

[George Richardson]

I can second this, I dealt with a company in Florida that took my 
payment and scheduled the pickup and delivery, but nodoby showed. Then 
we began a dance  that ended with the truck (Land Rover Discovery) being 
picked up while no-one was around, and delivered to my driveway at 
midnight while I was asleep by two Russin guys who barely spoke english. 
If it hadn't been for the fact that I managed to the get the supposedly 
non-operting truck started, I think they would have just dopped it 
blocking my driveway and left.

Plus, they wanted additional expenses "for their trouble".
