Hello Everyone,

I will have a Transport spot available early next week (Jan 28-29th) from Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Etc back up to Ohio, Indiana, Michigan or Pennsylvania

I also still have a transport spot available for either the 1st or 2nd week of February from Arizona, New Mexico or possibly the Las Vegas, Nevada area back towards the East. I am very open to where I deliver with this one as I always have numerous vehicles waiting, so The Southeast, East Coast or closer to home...Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, etc are all in play ( NO NYC or Long Island)

These trips will both be with the single car, aluminum Ameri-lite Enclosed trailer. This is an actual vehicle trailer with a drive in rear door & a dove-tail rear for loading of the lowest vehicles.

I have well over 3.5 million accident-free transport miles over the last 36+ years. Please see this link for hundreds of ALL positive feedback posted by the actual customers, NOT by me! Out of the 2500 or so vehicles I have transported in my career, there is only ONE negative feedback. That is concerning a hailstorm I got caught in 10 years ago. the incident happened, but the story posted on some Mickey Mouse little website is FAR from the truth!

https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...closed.614419/

Give me a call, email or P.M. for a cash on delivery price quote.

Pictured is a 1908 Reo & a 1983 Citroen 2CV. The Citroen is the 2nd one I have transported for a gentleman who has them completely restored in France & shipped over.

Thank You & God Bless

Hello Everyone,

Thank you to all that inquired, but the spot from the Phoenix, Az area has been filled!

I will now have a transport spot available from Arkansas, Missouri, Eastern Oklahoma, Eastern Kansas back to Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Etc. This trip will load late the week of Feb 9th or early the week of Feb 16th depending on the weather.

This trip will be with the Ameri-Lite aluminum single car enclosed trailer. This is an actual vehicle trailer with a dove-tail rear & a drive in rear door for loading of the lowest of vehicles. The vehicle need not run as the trailer has an electric winch, but it MUST roll on inflated tires & the brakes cannot be stuck!

I have well over 3.5 million accident-free transport miles over the last 36+ years. Please see this link for hundreds of ALL positive feedback posted by the actual customers, NOT by me! Out of the 2500 or so vehicles I have transported in my career, there is only ONE negative feedback. That is concerning a hailstorm I got caught in 10 years ago. the incident happened, but the story posted on some Mickey Mouse little website in the seedier corner of the internet is FAR from the truth!

Hello Everyone,

The spot from Arkansas back up to the Ohio area has been filled! My openings don't last long. I am running ahead of schedule which means I get a few days at home to work on a couple of mine!

All spots for the rest of February are booked. I have a few opening still available for March, but won't have exact routes set for a week or so!

I am ALWAYS available to quote cash on delivery prices, discuss transport options or recommend other QUALITY Transporters if I am not available also who to stay FAR away from & why!

I run ALL the transports I post spots for, my posts are not wish lists & are just fill ins for trips already on my schedule. I do not take deposits as I believe a mans word is his bond! I build my trucks for excellent fuel mileage, so Never is there a charge for unloaded miles!

I have well over 3.5 million accident-free transport miles over the last 36+ years. Please see this link for hundreds of ALL positive feedback posted by the actual customers, NOT by me! Out of the 2500 or so vehicles I have transported in my career, there is only ONE negative feedback.

Hello Everyone,

My March schedule is starting to come together. I will for sure have an Enclosed transport spot available from Ohio, Michigan, Indiana or Pennsylvania down to Florida

This trip will be either the first or second week of March depending on how fast I can finish up the last couple of transports for February

Next month I will be starting my 37th year in business & God willing in a year or so I will be hitting the 4 million accident-free transport mile mark! Things are quite a bit different now from back in '83 when I opened my doors! One thing has not changed in an industry where it is easy for anybody with a truck & trailer to think they are a transporter, I have always tried to separate myself from the "bottom feeders" by using quality equipment that looks good, is clean & well maintained, being an actual car guy who can drive any of them when necessary, showing up clean in a company shirt, supplying a business card with a physical business address to reassure the customer that I am not some homeless guy who may run off with their car & keeping in constant communication with the customer throughout the whole experience.

Figured I would change things up a bit! Here are a couple of pics of what I have been working on the last few days. The 64 GP is just about done after a full restoration & the 66 Catalina is getting some love as well.

Hello Everyone

I still have a trip available down to Florida, but now I have several options as to where I can load, since I have added several cars to the March schedule!

I am available for an enclosed transport from either the Great Lakes States (Ohio, Mich, Indiana, Western Pennsylvania) or from Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina or Eastern Tennessee down to Florida, Georgia, South Carolina even Alabama.

This trip will be with the Ameri-Lite aluminum single car ENCLOSED trailer. This is an actual vehicle trailer with a dove tail rear & a drive in rear door for easy loading of the lowest vehicles.

https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...closed.614419/

Give me a call, email or P.M. for a cash on delivery price quote. I charge by the loaded mile, I NEVER charge for unloaded miles. Logistics is part of a transporters job! As part of my personalized service I do not stay in hotels, I stay with the vehicle, so no one bothers them.

Thank You & God Bless

Hello Everyone,

I have added an Enclosed Transport spot to the end of my upcoming trip!

I will be available for transport from Missouri/South Central Illinois (preferably the St Louis area, but all inquiries will be considered) to Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky or Western Pennsylvania.

This spot should load on or about March 21st as I will be delivering in St Louis

I should be hitting 4 million accident-free miles over the last 37 years late this year.

It is important that your transporter be an actual car guy that knows how to drive them all if needed & has equipment made for properly loading vehicles. NOT somebody who reads about what car guys do & then reposts it! I can't imagine how pathetic & frankly embarrassing it would be to show up at the home of a grieving widow who had to sell her husbands baby & tell her she has to get the car out of the garage because he does not know how to drive it! Or the guy shows up to load an exotic car & finds out he has to hire someone else to come load it for him because he doesn't have a trailer capable of loading a car that sits low LMAO!!!!

Hello Everyone,

I will have 2 separate trips for the first two weeks of April down to the Southeastern States ( Florida, Georgia, North/South Carolina or Alabama) from basically anywhere in the Great Lakes, Midwest or possibly Northeastern states.

Both these trips will be with the Ameri-Lite aluminum single car ENCLOSED trailer. This is an actual vehicle trailer with a dove-tail rear & a drive in rear door for the ease of loading of the lowest vehicles. Like the Porsche 911 Turbo S pictured below that I easily & safely drove into the trailer & transported it from South Florida to Potomac, MD a couple of days ago!

Please see this link for hundreds of ALL positive feedback posted by the actual customers, NOT by me! Out of the 2500 or so vehicles I have transported in my career, there is only ONE negative comment about me. That is concerning a hailstorm I got caught in 10 years ago. the incident happened, but the story posted on some Mickey Mouse little website in the seedier corner of the internet is FAR from the truth!

Hello Everyone,

It is with much consternation & internal debate that I have decided to abide by the Governor of the State of Ohio (& many other states) order to close my business for 2 weeks to let this virus crap straighten itself out.

I do not take this decision lightly as the folks that have been my customers know I always make my deliveries & don't like to be minutes late let alone hours or days late. This is why my business is set up with 2 trucks & two trailers fully maintained & ready to go at a moments notice & I take my commitments to my customers seriously.

I have 8 transports already booked with dates set, so this requires contacting basically 16 different people. I have spoken to almost all today & for the most part they have been very supportive.


On a personal note, I have been a health/nutrition/fitness nut for some time & have a highly functioning immune system. However if I should contract this virus while on the road, I would probably not know I had it & could possibly bring it home where I could infect my 79 & 80 years old parents. The thought of this possibility made my decision much easier.

I pray that everyone in our hobby stays free of this virus & that we can get back to normal quickly!

God Bless

Hello Everyone,

After watching state Governors press conferences over the last couple of days from the states I had transports into or out of, I have decided that my business will remain closed for at least another 2 weeks. Being a successful business owner for more than 3 1/2 decades that has built up a reputation for doing what I say when I say & in a professional manner, this sucks! I don't ever want to disappoint my fellow car guys, but there is just nothing I can do about it.

If I was just some homeless guy with a truck & trailer that is not a business & has a reputation of blowing people off when he doesn't feel like doing the job he booked then this would not bother me...But I am not!

Even though I am closed for transports & will not be giving any dates for new transports, I am available to quote prices & offer any advise needed!

On a positive note, I have not been in town for this long in over a decade. I am using this time (After maintenance work is done on the Trucks & Trailers) to work on my toys. Here are a few pictures of what is in my building right now.

God Bless & Stay Safe!

Hello Everyone,

We are still closed due to the Chinese Corona Virus.

So many states have travel restrictions & classic car transport is not deemed essential (even though us car guys disagree) I care too much about my customers, their cars & my equipment to take a chance getting it all impounded crossing some state line by some over zealous cop. I am certainly NOT going to tell you I have some special exemption allowing me to pick up or deliver on certain roads but not others...That is just NOT the case.

I am holding out hope that I can get back on the road around the 1st of May!

I feel for the other small businesses that were ordered closed & the people themselves are struggling. I am blessed not to have to worry about how long I am off the road
& am enjoying working on all my cars. This is the longest stretch of time I have been in town for a decade.

I am always available to quote prices or offer advise about transporting options for your vehicle or answering any questions concerning trucks & trailers if you are looking to purchase for your own use.

Give me a Call, Email or P.M anytime (within reason) West Coast folks please keep in mind I am in the eastern time Zone...Your 9PM is my Midnight!

God Bless & Stay Safe

Hello Everyone,

My business will again be open for transport starting the first full week of May!

As much as I enjoyed working on my cars, shop & yard, I hated not being able to bring my customers their new toys! I very much appreciate all of those folks who were patient during this Chinese Virus Crap.

I currently have a backlog of 13 cars, so the first two weeks of May are completely booked & should clear about 7 off the schedule. After that I will have a couple of spots to fill in openings in between others to help clear up the rest.

Please feel free to call, email or P.M. for cash on delivery price quotes.

As of now ALL transport for May are using the Ameri-Lite aluminum single car ENCLOSED Trailer.

Please see this link for hundreds of all positive feedback posted by the actual customer not by me!

Thank you & God Bless

Hello Everyone,

Over the last 2 weeks I have cleared 9 of the 13 car backlog on my schedule that was due to my decision to shut down for 5 weeks because of the Chinese Virus. I did not take that decision lightly, because I take customer service very seriously & I did not want to delay any of my fellow car guys from getting their new toys.

I am so very proud & honored that EVERY one of those 13 customers waited for me to start back up transporting again instead of cancelling & taking a chance on one of the bottom feeders with the junk equipment, bad attitudes & terrible reputation. Over the next 2 weeks, I will clear the backlog completely!

In order to accomplish this, I am opening up several spots in the ENCLOSED trailer during this time (5/17- 6/1) from Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, etc down to Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia or the Carolinas'. Make no mistake, these folks that were so loyal to my business will be taken care of quickly even if I have to deadhead to each one!

Please see this link for hundreds of all positive feedback posted by the actual folks that used my service in the past, not by me!

https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...closed.614419/

I do EVERY transport I post for & I have too much respect for the forum & my fellow car guys to continuously "Spam" the forums with ads to keep myself relevant. I would rather post once in a while & let my satisfied customers speak for me!

Give me a call, Email of P.M. for a cash on delivery price quote. I don't take deposits, as I believe a mans word is his bond.

Thank You & God Bless

Hello Everyone,

It took 5 straight weeks of hard running, but I have completely caught up from the time I spent at home due to the Chinese Virus crap & subsequent travel restrictions!

I again would like to thank those that stuck with me during this time. Your confidence in my service is greatly appreciated.

Fortunately or unfortunately, during the time I was catching up, I was also continuing to book new transports, so now my schedule is almost completely filled through the middle of July EXCEPT for three major openings.

I will have an ENCLOSED Transport spot available from the New England States (Ct, Ma, N.H., R.I., Vt., E.N.Y, Etc) back to Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Etc This trip will load somewhere around the 23rd of June.

I will also have an ENCLOSED Transport spot available for just after the 4th of July holiday out to the West Coast from just about anywhere in the East or Midwest since I always have cars waiting in several locations to be transported.

The 3rd ENCLOSED transport spot will be from the South Central part of the country (think Memphis, Little Rock, St Louis, Etc) back to Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, etc) This will also be at the end of a very long trip, so I would like to get as close to home (Ohio) as possible, but as always I am here to help if I can!

Please see this link for hundreds of all positive feedback/references posted by the actual customers who have used my service in the past. I do not post my own feedback. That would be Unethical!

https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...closed.614419/

If you are going to pay someone to transport your vehicle, you should be able to trust that person is a car guy that knows your vehicle & not someone whos' only experience in our hobby is reading about what the rest of us do with our cars!

Give me a call, email or P.M. for a cash on delivery price quote. I do not take deposits as I believe a mans word is his bond.

Thank You & God Bless

Hello Everyone,

Thank you to everyone who inquired, the spot to California has been booked, the spot coming out of New England has also been filled. I also agreed to take 2 other transports from the East Coast to the Central part of the country & will squeeze them in somewhere over the next 3-4 weeks.

This gives me 3 transport spots from the Central part of the country (think St Louis, Tulsa, Little Rock, Memphis, Nashville)

The first one will be with the Ameri-Lite aluminum single car Enclosed Trailer from a couple of hundred miles of St Louis, Mo to Ohio, Michigan, Indiana or Western Pennsylvania. Pickup would be on Wed 6/24 or Thurs 6/25

The 2nd transport will also be with the Enclosed trailer & should load around the 15th of July. I would like that one to be within a couple hundred miles of Memphis

The 3rd spot can be with the Enclosed trailer OR the Featherlite aluminum Open trailer & should load close to the end of July. I would also prefer this one would load close to St Louis.

Since I build me trucks for excellent fuel mileage, I have no problem deadheading a bit to load & I never charge for unloaded miles. Not sure if yours fits...all it takes is a call!

Please see this link for pictures of my equipment & hundreds of all Positive feedback posted by previous customers.

https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...closed.614419/

This is my 37th year in business & am getting close to 4 million accident free transport miles.

Give me a call, email or P.M. for a cash on delivery price quote!

Thank You & God Bless

Had the pleasure of meeting Bill yesterday. Great communication with me, the seller, and i believe the buyer, but i will leave that to him to communicate. He was on time, checked in numerous times, in the days preceding pick up, was organized, safe and swift to load and depart. He values your time and his, is the best way to describe it.
I look forward to working with him again in the future.
Safest of travels

Thank You Everyone!

ALL 3 spots from the Central part of the country have been filled! I am now booked 100% until at least the 2nd full week of August, maybe longer if I want to catch my breath at home for a bit.

As always I am still available to quote cash on delivery prices, offer advise on different types of transports or recommend a few other QUALITY Transporters.

God Bless

Happy 4th of July Everyone!

Hopefully everyone is have a great day with family & friends or getting out to a car show like I did!!!

I will have two transport spots coming out of Florida or possibly Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama up north to New England or the Great Lakes states!

These two trips will be mid/late August & I can use either the Featherlite aluminum single car open trailer with a large air dam on the front to prevent stone chips OR the Ameri-Lite aluminum single car Enclosed trailer

Please see this link for hundreds of all positive feedback posted by the actual customers who have used my service over the years.

https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...closed.614419/

God willing, I will hit the 4 million accident-free transport mile mark early next year. I have been doing this for 37 + years successfully!

Give me a call, email or P.M. for a cash on delivery price quote for these trips or ANY other you wish to have a price for.

God Bless

Hello Everyone,

I don't like posting this soon (5 days since my last post) but I had an issue pop up causing me to lose a transport.

I went to a Museum here in Northern Ohio to load a car going to the Los Angeles area. This was already a heavy car, but nobody told me it was modified for a President or a millionaire, etc (think armored car) . It was way to heavy for me to transport.

Now I have a spot available out to the Southwest from the Great Lakes area or the Central area. in the Enclosed Trailer for the week of July 13th.

I will be open to taking partial transports between here & there. There are many options available, so call email or P.M. for a cash on delivery price.

Very rarely do I discount my rate, but to help get something quickly & keep my schedule with the rest of my customers on this long trip, I will offer the Enclosed Trailer service for the Open Trailer price!

Thank You & God Bless
