Does anyone on here know of any page I could go to to find a private individual that hauls across country? Looking at buying a boat in TN and getting it home to IL.
Thanks

What size boat? You will save lots of $$$ if you can go get it yourself.
I agree, that's not that long of a drive.Quote:

Here is a website to contract with shippers for single loads.

I'll be blunt too. This is a public forum on the internet. I would never expect a perfect answer to a question. Everyone interprets things differently. But there's never a reason to be, let me put it this way, "exceedingly blunt". Please remember, this is a family friendly website, first and foremost.

Might check with your local car dealers...they use people like that sometimes..especially used dealers
Maybe this will help. :twocents

or this one.

Check with your local RV dealer that sell motor homes...when they get one delivered, the driver has to get a ride back home
I am looking at that and receiving bids.Quote:

I believe one of the better ones was Joule marine transport, and I probably mis spelled it. They do a lot of boats from the great lakes to salt water regularly. I personally would go with someone with references over a lower price. Good luck and let us know how it works out for you.
Mite suggest if the boat is used and not going to be put on a transporter that you have the trailer's wheel bearings inspected and repacked, lights inspected and repaired if required
Had mine shipped from factory to our house. Price was about what Skeet stated.
There is a web site for that kind of hauling, sorry, I do not know it. I am sure someone will help you.
Actually find a rv dealer close to the boat. Guys are hauling campers from northern IN every day. Then they have to drive home with nothing to haul. One of them would gladly haul it to IL to ya on thier way back to IN..Quote:
