Re: [Spridgets] Car shipping
The orange truck guys moved my Bugeye and all
of my household goods from
California to Michigan 20 years ago. The car was
loaded last at the very back
of the trailer. They also loaded a bunch of
spare engines and parts in the
belly containers under the trailer. Everything
made it in perfect shape. I
guess it all depends on the driver and
loading/unloading crew.
