My first use of the hauling schedule from here on YT was a good one. I purchased the item off the sale board. I did drive one Sunday with my wife and daughter through two states to see the item though. Sometimes descriptions on conditions are very different. After making the deal with the seller on a handshake I told him I would set up the hauler ASAP. I got back on YT and looked over the schedule for a back load thinking it might be cheaper. Talked it over with a couple people here who went through the same so I knew about what I was looking at. I inquired with three haulers. One declined the load. and a second accepted but was broke down and could not haul for three to four weeks. The last gave me his cell number and shot me a price. We agreed and the deal was done. The pickup happened in three days so the check (yes out of state check) had not even arrived but was in the mail to the seller. He let the piece get loaded and hauled, and I forgot to ask him to write down the plate number of the hauler. All I had was a name and a cell number. Anyhow two days later and 8 hours after he scheduled the delivery he shows up and drops my piece without a scratch, other than what was already there. I bought a rusty cab from two states away and my biggest worry was broken windows. No suprises. I paid the man in cash. I never asked if he would take a check. I figured being so far away from home he could use the cash easier for food, fuel, and whatever he needed. I called the seller to let him know the piece arrived and to ask if my check did. It did and he was not worried about waiting for it to clear. The piece was already in my yard. A lot of things could have gone wrong from either end or the hauler in the middle. For my part dealing in cash when possible so the hauler doesn't have to deal with out of state banks seemed to be my best choice. Everything went fine all from here on YT for my first time. It won't be my last. Do your homework and talk to your shipper. Mine was insured, and professional. They are happy to pick up on back loads especially since the cost of fuel has gone the way it has.
