My problem is that my ford truck is down in San Jose del Cabo where I live part of the time, and I need it up here in Los Angeles because I just had
an accident in my car here.
Can anyone recommend either a reliable shipping service (not too $$$$) or know of a very reliable person who would want to make the drive?

Would you maybe have room for some scrap metal? Just kidding. I'm a kidder.Milligan - 8-30-2009 at 11:34 AM
ha ha.
Just u2u ed Denis (I think) bit new to this.
I kind of remeber a big truck advertised in the gringo gazette that goes up and down every week.
Does anyone know of this?
Thanks.
We may have to come down and get it ourselves, but in addition to expense (and discomfort after car wreck here) the weather looks terrible.pacside - 8-30-2009 at 11:38 AM

Milligan,
Welcome to the BajaNomad!
There is a guy who advertises in the Chubasco, a publication put out by Vagabundos (Vagabundos Del Mar). His name is Al Thompson. I don't
have a copy of the magazine in front of me, but here is the info for Vagabundos: www.vagabundos.com or info@vagabundos.com (email). Phones: 707-374-5511, or 800-474-2252. They are located in Rio vista (Sacramento), CA. Call
them Monday morning and I'm sure they can give you Al's number.
Good luck! Let us know what you do and how it turned out.Milligan - 8-30-2009 at 11:53 AM
Thanks so much for that.
Yes I'll let you know what happens!BigWooo - 8-30-2009 at 05:39 PM
I've been emailing a guy recently about bringing our extra truck south for us. He may deliver north also. I don't know anything about him, but he
advertises in the Baja Western Union. Price seemed reasonable.
Here's the email: bajavehicledelivery@yahoo.comMilligan - 8-30-2009 at 06:17 PM
Thanks Big Wooo
Just emailed himroamin - 8-31-2009 at 09:01 AM
FYI, I used Mark Sherman to deliver a Pathfinder last December. Had a great experience. He was fair and kept all the reciepts etc. Needless to say, it
is a little nerve racking handing over a vehicle to somebody you do not know. Good luck.Milligan - 8-31-2009 at 09:32 AM
Thank you. Thats very useful to know
references, homework, choice...
djh - 8-31-2009 at 10:23 AM
I have done several deliveries for fellow Nomads, as Woody and Dennis noted above. Mostly just to mix a little bit of "I still love the solitude and
beauty of the Baja drive" with a little bit of "I can offer a little help".
I U2U'd back to Milligan. I am not available to do a delivery right away... (likely Thanksgiving will be my next opportunity) but I would suggest to
anyone to ask for a few references ~ best if you can get a referral from someone who's used the delivery / driver previously. I've always offerred
that and it helps ease the worry.
Do a few emails or calls, ask good questions, make a careful choice, and then trust your decision and the person you choose.Sallysouth - 8-31-2009 at 06:53 PM
Milligan, My son-in law lives in El Tule.He has driven all kinds of vehicles, towed boats of all sizes, trailers, etc.He may be available to help you,
that is after we see what Jimena has done!U2U me if you are interested. Sally
