[Shotimes] Convention Round Trip Vehicle Transport

[alfitz@alfitz.com]

BTW, Josh,

I have found it to be true that coming back from the left coast it is much
harder to fill a load for the truckers, but I end up paying much LESS
because of that, not more.
I've shipped cars from California as little as $300 because the driver wants
some fuel money to get home. But I deal with the drivers, not the brokers.
