Truck Full of Lambos
One of our favorite shipments was for one of our Lamborghini dealership friends. As you can see, these black Lamborghinis have very little clearance, so we made sure to take extra care when loading and unloading them. One scratch or ding would have meant thousands of dollars in repairs for our client, and that would have created a very unhappy customer. Though it took a bit longer to haul these beautiful cars, we took great satisfaction in delivering these beauties from New York to Texas.

Shipping Harleys
Another favorite shipment of ours was a load of Harley Davidsons. Shipping motorcycles is difficult because you really need to secure them with a crate to ensure safe transport. As you can see by this picture, that’s exactly what we did. This shipment was heading from Florida to California in the middle of the summer, which brings a whole set of unique problems including keeping the truck from overheating. Our drivers always make sure to keep their drive times to a minimum and haul at night when possible to keep the heat down. These bikes arrived safely and ahead of schedule due to our expert drivers.
Yacht Shipping
The third shipment on our list of favorites was for a unique client in Los Angeles that wanted his boat shipped out to Martha’s Vineyard for the summer. Rather than sail his boat all that way, he decided it made more sense to ship his yacht with us. Yacht shipping always has its unique issues, but as always, driving slow and steady means less risk for the owner.
