Steve,
Mark's comments reminded me.......I have indeed had this done in the past
myself....regualr old moving company don'cha know. When we relocated from
Seattle to San Diego about 11-12 years ago, the moving company had no
problem loading my '55 Chevy beater truck into the moving van. Though the
laws require it, they did not even make me remove the gas out of the tank
for the long trip. Driver said, "Not to worry, I ain't spilled a trailer
yet an' don't aim to start." Oh well, his insurance. Mark is right, if
you are willing to wait a bit, you could get a pretty good deal for moving
your pride and joy.
Regards,
Allan
