Need a Transporter
Just purchased my first truck camper from an auction site. Problem is my truck is in for repairs and I need to get it moved before the truck will be repaired. The camper is located in Pennsylvania...

Uship.. easy, and it's easy.
I found uship to be a nightmare of lowballing brokers who had no idea what I was trying to transport and were just answering EVERY new listing with, "We have a truck in your area ready and waiting for your load." They show up with a rig totally inappropriate to ship your load, and then start in with how much extra it's going to cost... No thank you.
Easy was the short answer. The truth is somewhere between mine and yours. Uship, like any 'bargain' needs to be waded through. I have had several items shipped through them including a camper. To be honest, I don't really care how they get it to it's destination..they are insured (yes, I check that..and carry my own insurance on the items). A couple of emails during the bidding process can clarify and weed out much, very quickly. It's a viable option for sure.
Biggest mistake folks make when searching for carriers; they don't articulate well, don't provide the needed information, to the shippers. They don't care what color it is, or how important it is to your wife, but they do need the dimensions and weight, accessibility, limitations on loading or securing, etc.
