I'm tying to get a one ton pickup from Hayden Lake Idaho to Marysville Wa. Certain work and family constraints keep me from hauling it myself. I went to a vehicle hauling site which looked local and was bombarded with cheap prices and now that I'm ready nobody calls back . These outfits are all over the country. I have never been involved in such a convoluted web of BS in my life. Who are they, what are they doing? This isn't my first rodeo with truck hauling and I know about 'Central Dispatch'. I had finally found a family owned outfit in Belgrade Mt called 'Western Sky Haulers', but they are out of the business now and I am left to the wolves. Is there a real company I can call and they will tell me how much and when and we just make a deal. Other than 6 miles north off 90 to Hayden it is all I-90 and I-5 about 350 miles. It is inop but rolls nicely on good tires....
