I needed to get a tractor from Wisconsin to Maryland - approximately 1,000 miles. I thought about trying to make the trip myself, but I just didn't have the time. I thought about flying one way and trying to bring it back in a big Uhaul or on a trailer, but after researching the cost, that wasn't the most economical. I thought there had to be a better way. I searched the internet and came across the Uship website. After researching the site, I decided to list my shipment. Within 6 hours I had a pretty good bid. Within a day, I had an even better bid with exact shipping dates -- with the pickup date just two days out!?! The transporter had some good feedback, so I decided to try it. I am glad I did! The transporter was DaddyWhoa. It should be DaddyGo or GoDaddyGo! They showed up on the date listed in the bid and delivered on the date listed. There was communication all along the way and the driver (Gary) was very courteous. I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn't shipping a priceless artifact and I wasn't expecting a spotless, padded shipping vehicle. I wanted a reliable transport at a fair price and that is exactly what I got through Uship. I literally saved 50% of what it would have cost me to make the trip myself (assuming no breakdowns), plus I saved all my time. The tractor arrived on a large, open trailer. It was well secured and suffered no damage. I would definitely use Uship again as well as DaddyWhoa. Great service with no excuses! Thanks! StocktonBob
