Getting the Bearcat Home

The next step is getting the Bearcat from Chicago to Denver.    We started out contracting with one shipping company.  That was painful.   They take your information, tell you that you are in the queue, then nothing. 

We kept calling because the seller had not heard from them.  He was going out of town and I am sure he wanted it out of there too.   Another week and more phone calls.   

Finally, we got a pickup date.  They called the seller and made arrangements for pickup.   
Pickup date - Nothing happened.  No calls, no pickup.     
So - More phone calls to the transportation company.   The truck had broken down and they could not pick it up.    (Wow, Thanks for telling us)   We were told that maybe tomorrow the truck will be running.   You probably guess it - the next day no pick up, no calls.  

What tops it off is they tell us we missed the pickup window and it will be another 2 to 3 weeks before they can pick it up.    What - We missed the window??  Wasn't it your truck that broken down?

Yup - We cancelled the contract and contacted someone.  

They picked it up the next morning and it was delivered to the house it 3 days.  

Thank you Reliable Shipping for being there and getting the car safely to Denver.
