Default Kit Transport

Can anyone recommend a company that specializes in the transportation of kit aircraft?

Looking for transport from Dallas to Cleveland.

Partain has been doing this for a long time. http://www.vansairforce.net/graphics...truckingco.htm

I also recommend Partain. They moved my half finished kit from San Diego to Boise, on time and not a single issue.

I can not recommend Barnstormers out of Florida. Shoddy to say the least.

Partain moved my project twice, from Oregon to Virginia, then Virginia to Texas. Top notch!

That is a good recommendation! I have made a phone call, plus emailed them. No response as of now. Maybe they don't contact customers on weekends?

Partain seems to be a one man show on the front end. One guy with a cell phone, managing customers and a couple of trucks/trailers moving kits.

Keep trying. Leave a message explaining what you need if you haven't already.
