You can go with a legal driver with DOT number and insurance like www.seawisehauling.com (awesome people!) :coolcowboy:

Or go illegal, take a gamble, save some money, and drive the prices down for the honest people who are trying to make a living....:poopoo:

Just think how you want your competition treating you in your job.....

Offshore---I am curious what you are saying?

offshorexcursion 02-03-2012 05:47 PM

I am saying it is not legal to pay to have anything hauled unless the hauler is legal. There are plenty of people out there advertising to haul on craigslist, U-ship, etc, but they are not legal. Not insured. etc etc.

I recommended a good company that is legal, there are others out there also.

Why hire someone illegal, undercutting prices etc, just to save a buck, but take a gamble on loosing more then you saved.

A way to think about if going the illegal way is worth it to save a buck, I ask how you would feel if some one could do your job for less money taking money out of your pocket, especially if they are not qualified or legal??

The reason I bring this up right off the bat cause the pattern seems to always be..

Someone post they need something hauled.
People Rec a good company
OP complains the price is to high, and ask about going the "cheap" illegal route
etc etc.

No insult the the OP on this thread. Just giving my advice like they asked for! :drink:

Could be bad weather and not much chance of finding another boat on trailer back? Lots of variables involved. I could do cheaper of had time to set up something for a return trip and shipper is flexible but that's a good number a the job stands. In my opinion
