Re: Auto shippers......

Well it's almost "Moving Day".
Had a Wrench thrown into the mix. My Wifes New employer needs her 3 weeks AHEAD OF SCHEDUAL.
That took my estimate from $900.00 up to $1700.00 for my Truck Transport
Great thing is, they are picking up my Truck Monday the 15th and will have it in Southern California on Tuesday the 16th.
Enclosed, single lift gate carrier, so I don't have to worry about a "Top Load", and 1 day to Transport it.

Because the new job wants us there in November, (instead of December), all the Estimates doubled.
$1700.00 For Truck Shipping.
$3500.00 For the Movers.
$1600.00 For Pet Transport (6 Cats).
$800.00 To get all the 6 Cats "Medically Cleared" for said Transport,
(ie Health Certs, Rabbies, Bathing ect).

Then there was the 3 Trips down to the Palm Springs area for Employment testing (another $4000.00).

Good thing is thats its all Tax Deductable (for employment).
Weather Forcast here is lows in the 30's with a chance of Snow.
Down there, highs are in the Mid 70's-80 Degrees!

Gotta Love It!
I'll actually have Paved Streets, Pizza Delivery,
and an INSIDE LAUNDRY ROOM!
