Default Transporting a Vette

Hi Gang

Many of you know I recently bought glennm27's '02 EB Coupe. Rather than risk 800 miles of "road hazards" (the last time I bought one away and drove it back 600 miles, I got two rock chips in the hood and a cracked windshield for my efforts) I decided to have it transported.

I chose DeMoise Trucking Inc. (demoise.com) again. A couple of years ago they transported my '04 Vert from Napoleon, OH for me and I was very pleased with the service. BTW they were the "official carrier" of Terry Michaelis' "Last Corvette".

I won't bore you with a lot of details, but I will simply say that Bill DeMoise is a man of integrity operating a Top Flight company. If you choose to transport your next Corvette, anywhere nationwide, you owe it to yourself to give DeMoise Trucking a call.

Here's a picture of glennm27's former Philadelphia Corvette enjoying the warm Georgia sunshine.



Dang, I forgot to change my Avatar.

I am glad to hear you were happy with Demoise' service. You're a good man to make this post under the circumstances..

Here are a few pictures of the loading process up here in Pennsylvania on Tuesday morning.

So you're the lucky guy. That really is one of the nicest vettes on the Forum. Looks like you're no stranger to Corvettes

I'm sure many members will be grateful for that advice. Its a question that comes up frequently.
