Questions for this shipment:

Question: Thanks for the bid request. Please check my driver profile, feedback and pictures. I drive a 06 Ford F35 dually 4x4 pickup pulling a custom 18' single car hauler trailer, transporting 1 car at a time. My federal Authority is MC#618164, DOT#1682249 and My California Authority is CA362276. I carry full coverage insurance on any vehicle transported to $100,000.00 and $1,000,000.00 liability insurance at no additional charge. I have a load going from Palmdale CA to Tuscon in the next few days and am looking for a back haul. My current rate is $1.20 per loaded mile. My service is door to door and COD. Let me know your desired time frame and I will try to book the east bound load around it then place a formal bid. We will work out the details of the move by phone once a bid is accepted.

My insurance agent can provide you with proof of insurance. I am very reliable, and upfront, just check my feedback to confirm that. Door-to-Door, Worry free transport.
