In 2004 I retired from the real estate industry after 30 years at the age of 49. I then sold antique toys at regional shows and on ebay part time and did some traveling delivering Motor coaches. One day I sold my friends 1974 De Tomas Pantera on eBay and the transporter forgot the hood and an important box of parts. I delivered these myself to LasVegas and thus started my other part time job. Later that year I bought a medium duty Chevrolet C4500 dually crew cab truck with a versahauler bed and drove for 1 year delivering travel trailers all over the US. From time to time I will still deliver a motor coach. Now I travel at least once a month to visit friends and family, booking a delivery to pay for my travel expenses. I am currently looking for only DRIVEAWAY (your vehicle is driven) jobs. Ask a question if you need more information - retiredjeff.

Jeff did an excellant job delivering my f250 from Sanantonio, TX to Atlanta, GA. I could not be happier. The dealership made an error which delayed my financing and Jeff was kind enough to wait. My truck still arrived early, clean and in perfect condition! Thanks again Jeff, Ryan

There was a change to the shipping price or terms that could not be resolved Service provider unable towing my car he only use driveaway services and my car have front hit and cannot be drive.
Response from retiredjeff:
There was no change in the shipping terms nor price- The shipper reacted to my low price and made a "match" without looking at my bid. PLEASE READ THE BIDS BEFORE YOU DECIDE ON A TSP TO MOVE YOUR VEHICLE!! The customer misrepresented their shipment and I cannot service it. I bid on this as a Driveaway (vehicle is driven) -see the listing -see my bid. The shipper made no mention that the vehicle was damaged nor could not be driven! He even relisted under a new name to save his name!!

A scheduling conflict arose that could not be resolved OUR VEHICLE THAT WAS TO BE DRIVEN BACK TO OK HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS THAT COULD NOT BE FORSEEN. JEFF WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL, AND HELPED TO RESOLVE EVERY PROBLEM. BUT DUE TO THE NUMBER OF MECHANICAL PROBLEMS, I CHOSE TO TOW IT BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL LOCATION AND TRANSPORT IT HOME. THANK YOU JEFF, AND AGAIN I AM VERY SORRY FOR YOUR TROUBLE. I WISH THAT THE TRUCK WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE DEPENDABLE. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR PROFESSIONALISM.
Response from retiredjeff:
I picked up this vehicle as a Driveaway (vehicle is driven) but was plagued with tire and mechanical problems for the get-go. I replaced tires and repaired rims under the direction of the shipper, but when the second of mechanical problems arose, I arranged for the vehicle to be towed back to its origination auction site location with a tow firm, making sure the $1800 remote for the crane boom was secure. Shipper made prompt reimbursement of all expenses incurred. Wil, thanks for that!

The fastest shipping for the best price. If you received bid on your listing from this service provider, do not even hesitate! Jump on it right away! You will not find better or cheaper than this gentleman offers. It was a pleasure to work with him! Next time I will definately work with this service provider! Thank you for everything!!!

The Service Provider is not able to accommodate my shipment shipper dont ship non drivable cars
Response from retiredjeff:
The customer misrepresented their shipment and I cannot service it. HERE IS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE AS WHY YOU SHOULD LIST AS MUCH INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR SHIPMENT AS POSSIBLE AND ASK QUESTIONS FOR OR RESPOND TO THE QUESTIONS OF THE TSP. On 1/13 I asked- My Question: If driveable under your plates & insurance $580.00 Pick up Thur/Fri. this week AND I then bid on 1/16 as a Driveaway with an even lower price. See listing- See my bid. NO mention damaged not driveable! At least the shipper read my profile

Jeff's service was much more than I could've asked for! He's very thorough, very professional, always in contact with you, and a great guy to boot! I would recommend him to anybody. He even got the seller to fix a few things that I wouldn't have anticipated. If Jeff bids on your shipment don't hesitate to call him right away. His service is top notch, and his prices beat all the other bidders.

Rating: Positive Left for: rberry6999 (1) On: 7/6/2009 For: 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty Read Story	The shipper's funds were delayed due to an error by the funding source and I was held up 1 extra day in SanAntonio,TX. I bid for a specific pick up day & time as I was on a tight schedule but did not abandon the shipper and he reimbursed me for the night at the motel awaiting his job. I recieveda generous tip from the shipper as well. Ryan- Thanks for that!

The customer did not read my bid and just reacted to my low bid price. I do not want anymore cancellations ruining my good name.

She even was to allow me to carry packages or even haul a boat behind her new purchase, but I wasn't able to match any listings going to her area.

Rating: Cancellation Left for: riwaobel (1) On: 3/26/2009 For: 2003 Ford Explorer	There was a change to the shipping price or terms that could not be resolved The shipper is riwaobel. I bid to DRIVEAWAY (your vehicle is driven) for this listing. See listing! The shipper did not read the bid fully and after reading my profile assumed that I could indeed transport it.
Rating: Positive Left for: mahroty (1) On: 3/10/2009 For: 1997 Toyota Avalon	I bid for immediate pick up with delivery date 2/14 but the shipper wanted it delivered the following week instead and we agreed upon that. I was then delayed by the ice & snow storms that plagued the Midwest and could not get back south until Sat. 2/28. When I did, the vehicle was unsafe to drive and I had to spend a day in Orlando having the vehicle attended to. On the trip to Michigan, I was again delayed by ice & snow storms but only after tornados & thunderstorms. Shipper paid immediately.
