My client requested a quote to transport a yacht across country from Allure Logistics, (Talia Enzer) owner agent. She seemed nice enough and gave a decent quote ($14,700) which would later be raised. Here is how it went. The yacht was taken apart (4 days of work and thousands of dollars labor) and made ready to be picked up. The driver showed up on time as per the contract (which is now broken as the boat could not be loaded on the trailer) however,,
1. The Truck and Trailer he was using was Not correct for the load. (Allure after receiving the factory specs on the boat i.E. The weight @24,000 lbs dry) sent the wrong truck and the wrong trailer. The truck was a dually and the trailer was a home made piece of junk with bald tires and three 7000 pound axles from Harbor Freight or? No GVWR sticker on the trailer no ratings. (The front tires of the Truck was also Bald).
