Purchased a G506 Chevy 1 1/2 ton in the Detroit area and need to get it to the Atlanta area. No hurry, other than the weather in MI and a December 1 deadline to remove. Does not run, but intact and rolls. Manpower to assist with loading, but no equiptment on either end. Someone in our club mentioned Ray Patton, but I have no contact information for him.
Any leads or contacts appreciated. Purchased off eBay, but their shipping quote program hasn't generated any interested shippers.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Need to get Chevy truck from MI to GA
Try the website "Steel Soldiers". They have a very active hauling forum, with most of the hauling done by members, and usually for aatttractive prices. I have also personally used "Cruisin' Chrome" to haul my G506 from Nebraska to Illinois. I connected with them via Uship.com Their service was outstanding! Good luck!

Re: Need to get Chevy truck from MI to GA
I am a member over there as well, so I will give it a post. Thank you for the thought. Turns out that transporting an 8,000 lb non-running truck is not as cheap or as easy as I had thought prior to purchase. Oh well, lesson learned. I did manage to get a hold of Ray Patton and he would do it, but you pay for the entire load unless it's just pot luck that he finds another vehicle to go along. $2.25 a mile. $1,500 from Detroit to Atlanta.
I'll give SS a try.
