Too many hand changes

Hey everyone. So I'm moving from Wisconsin to Seattle. I'm going to hire a moving company to handle all my furniture and I asked about my Spyder and they (Mayflower and Allied) have said "oh sure no problem." But I'm pretty nervous about that. It'll go on/off a truck 6 times (local moving company, then interstate company, then local on the other end). That's a lot of time someone has to figure out how to work the machine. My other option is to haul it with a trailer as I make my way out there but 2,000 miles with a trailer will add almost an extra day in travel time. Anyone have any experience using a "regular" moving company to get your Spyder to its new home along with your furniture? Thanks for the help

I would not take the chance. When it gets to the end and you find damage you may have a long drawn out chore with each company claiming it was like that when they got it.

So in the end it was cheapest, most convenient, safest, and lowest risk (in my opinion). I drove it to the main facility and they pushed it up a ramp into the 18 wheeler, and then on the other end I pick it up from the storage facility. There was not a scratch on it and believe me I looked.
So, successful move with Mayflower. Thanks everyone for the input.

Glad you followed my advice about that, and REALLY glad it turned out to be a good experience.

I was a Mayflower Agent for 10 years before switching to North American Van Lines. Both are good companies.
