I need a glider in trailer towed from NY to WA

I've committed to buy an L-23 in Sarasota Springs, New York. It includes an enclosed trailer. I need it to come to Walla Walla, WA.

Anybody coming in west that wants some help with expenses? Would like to have it shipped right after January 1.

Thanks!

Are you anywhere near the 'little giant vacuum cleaner company'?

The bids I'm getting back are outrages. I could go out & back for the bids thus far.

What kind of quotes are you getting? almost 2800 miles and about 40 hrs driving. I often are tempted by gliders that are far away.

Well your original post is asking for someone already doing the trip to pull it for some help on expenses.

The guys in Uship are doing this to make their living.

I understand that. It's still an option. Like I stated I'm willing to pay a fair price. The bids I got on uShip were almost double the uShip estimate.

most of your bidders have to go out and back. you also wouldn't be paying yourself, so of course you could do it for less. if you happen to find someone making the trip one way, thats great! i'd still give them $1,000 for their gas and trouble.

but if someone does it as a job for you, they need to be paid AT LEAST $2,000. and that's just factoring in gas, minimum wage for time in the 'pit, and ratty motels. no meals included.

I also learned it would cost about $500 more to ship to the west coast from the east coast because there are more loads going to CA than from CA.

Also how good is your posting? I added a lot of details (including dimensions and weight)to ensure my bidders knew my trailer was very roadworthy with brand new tires and new spare tire.
If you have a large unroadworthy trailer [bad tires, bad bearings, poorly maintained or blows around in the wind a easily etc] then expect to pay more..

I posted a photo of a cobra trailer so the bidder knew what they were being asked to haul. I noticed that some other pilots have shown photos of the glider in flight! This tells the tuckers nothing about what their load is going to look like in or on the trailer and only makes it seem more exotic and raises more questions and scares off bidders.
