Hey guys, I need to have a truck shipped from GA to Seattle. Does anyone have recommendations? Or, does anyone live in GA that needs to get to Seattle?

There are professional moving companies that are fully insured, can flat bed it across the country. Google companies in GA and find one that fits your needs.
It will be cheaper for you to fly down there and drive it back yourself.

ask Harper and Bawb to set up a donation fund to help you out.

Ummm no it won't. Not sure how much you value your time at but it would cost me several thousand to take the time off to drive the truck let alone the plane ticket, fuel,food lodging etc. Just call tripple j and pay what they say and be done with it. Don't spend a week calling around trying to save $50

Just sent a quote request from the company John recommended. I've received quotes of $6-7K for shipping this thing, defiantly cheaper to fly out and drive home but man... hate that drive.

What are you shipping? Even on a flat bed from Florida your looking at 2 grand. Call them as 6-7 doesn't make sense.

United Auto Transporters. Talk to Connie 817-847-6474.
There is an internal web board that most independent truckers and smaller fleets use to look for back hauls and other loads. But the better route is to go through a broker that takes care of that for you. United Auto Brokers posts jobs on the board too and the way it works is they offer a price and wait until someone accepts it or counters with another offer. But Connie and Mike are very experienced at this and will give you a good indication on what your charges should be. They will not play the game if you are using other brokers or if you also list the vehicle yourself. They charge $200 and put up the listing and only take it if they get you the haul. Then you pay cash on the barrel in full to the driver once you have delivery.
I'm currently using these people for a Isuzu truck 9'6" high with a 12' box to transport it from Boston to Bellingham at a cost $3600 and even they say that's on the high side. This is because of its height and less supply of trucks willing to take that type of load. Also from GA to Seattle is a major route and if you have a smaller vehicle it could be way less but Mike or Connie will give you a good idea. They're straight shooters.
What ever you do DON"T TAKE A DRIVE SERVICE ONLY A TRANSPORT SERVICE.

No i just sold one of my big trucks to replace it with a newer aerotech & a cargo van for property management jobs so that we can have 3 trucks going through winter and then my goal is to add one more big truck this coming spring.
I'm going to try and fly out to ATL tomorrow morning, if i can't get on a flight i'll call Titan. Thanks

Yeah I was thinking of going CDS units but couldn't bring myself to reduce the performance we're used to with these AeroTech trucks. We're going to stay with these big trucks for now... who knows what will happen next year.

I just got my Butler hauled to CO for $1200 I used www.haulmatch.com you can get a free estimate right online. Took them a bit to find a driver but they got one.

Why didnt you just get the Judson TNT and customize it like Mike Draper did. His set up looks better and more practical than the aerotech. Not to mention half the cost with everything.. including maintance.
Is the big truck making a come back, all I see are people dumping them.
You should fly out with your wife or somebody, thats a long drive to do by yourself. Drive safe.

a few weeks ago I thought you were asking about box set up prices as you were in the process of getting one set up and wanted to confirm the price was right?
If you are guying a standard aerotech and not another zerorez truck I think you might find much less power but a little easier to park etc than the beasts the zerorez trucks are, and IMO look better.
congrats on the new purchase..
question I've wondered. any requirements from DOT on the zerorez trucks?

Why didn't you just post that you bought an Aero-Tech , that is after all why you started the post.
Nobody minds a good bragging post about new equipment.

Lol. Not new. AT is in salt lake. Man, I'd have to get a killer deal on a used areotech or vortex unit to buy across county assuming sight unseen.
Quick turn around. It was the light blue one for sale right? Was it a pain to pull off the wrap? I heard state law requires removal of lettering like that in a sale.
