I know some of you used Peg trucking for transporting cars. How are they to work with, do they ever add on surcharges taxes, or other hidden charges when the car is delivered? Are they on or near the delivery date promised? Thanks Ed

Peg has done several for me now, as well as others. She's great to deal with, and once she gives the date it's always been when she said. She's careful about the truckers she uses, and they've all been great to me. And, her haulers know the proper way to tie down a Stude without damage, important with their chintzy frames...
You can usually get quotes for a little less, but it's worth the extra to book it and not have to worry. And as a bonus, she's a great lady to talk to![8D]

Not so fast...that wasn't my experience
I tried to arrange the transport of a car from western Michigan to upstate NY...what a disaster. The worst communication I have ever had from a company,(person). I had to initiate every inquiry as to when the car would be picked up...finally into the third week I was told that she still couldn't give me a date for pickup. It was at this point we parted ways, her attitude seemed a little lack luster, IMHO.
I then contacted a broker out of Florida. I told them exactly what I wanted, two days later the car was picked up, in an enclosed trailer, and the next day delivered it to it's destination. The driver contacted me a few times enroute to let me know his progress, he even arrived 30 minutes early.
I know every one can have a bad day but not 20 or so days in a row...

I have shipped more cars and truck than most in the Studebaker world and most of the time new owner get their own hauler but every time they are to get in touch with me ahead of time so I can be sure to be here and have things ready to go , I can't think of once did I get advanced notice more than an hour or 2 before they got there to pick up, each time it burned my butt, but by the time the guy got there I had gotten over it and remembered he is only a driver making a living driving for some else and goes where he is told and when, some get their route change at the last minute by the main office and most drivers are really good guys and a pleasure to work with, lot of them out there and prices do vary some and some times a lot, but the real cheap one might not do the best job. I found the best hauler is myself and really try to do what I say I will do, but at time I must hire some one else, good luck..ED and I think you are looking to one to pick up the 62 Convert. right??

Depends on when...
IIRC, It would be good to remember PEG is a widow, who's husband died on the road delivering cars to hobbyist's...
It's awfully easy to pick at someone when they are down, and not consider the big picture...
My experience with PEG was just fine.......
