M1008 from Picatinney Arsenal, NJ to Central Massachusetts

Well, won my first CUCV auction - a M1008 pickup truck.

It's located at the Picatinney Arsenal inn Norther NJ, and I've got to get it transported to my B'in-Laws farm in Hardwick, Massachusetts ( west of Worcester).

I place a U-ship request for bids on uship.com, and selected a hauler, based on his bid to do the job for $420. U-ship says its a 210 mile trip.

I paid the initial u-ship deposit, and have the cash on-hand at the delivery site waiting..

The problem that is making me nervous is that despite the hauler having good feedback on u-ship, he's not too good at communication or exactly when he'll be able to get down there to pick it up . Evidently, he's waiting for another job to completely fill the trailier to make the trip worth his efforts. I thought he would get down there this week, but the only word or status update I got was from the arsenal site itself - they said no one had shown up by the end of the week,..I left the hauler several emails and a couple of phone voice mails, but no contact...

My concern is ...what happens if I go over the 14 days...!!!

If anyone is interested in this job, or knows a good hauler in this northeast area, contact me....If you've got a rig I have the week after labor day off and could ride along and help...

yes, have the EUC, and also sent all of the authorization for pickup, etc. to the hauler. I am going to try again to contact the haulker after the Holiday. If I am unsuccessful then I guess I'll have to come up with some other plan to get the vehicle. I'm also going to check to see what I would need to try to just drive the vehicle....

not my first choice though....

Thanks for the advice...

I HAVE given the hauler all of the info....but the last phone conversation I had with him, he said he was busy and wanted me to call and confirm the base open days and times, etc....

Beginning to feel more and more I selected the wrong Hauler for the job...If I can't get good info on Tuesday from the Hauler I will cancel the job and put it back up for bids...
