In August 2012, we shipped our Group 44 Inc. Triumph GT6+ with Reliable Carriers. The starting point was Classic Motorsports headquarters in Holly Hill, Florida. Its destination: RM Auctions in Monterey, California.
Before loading the car, the truck driver, Wayne Allen, spent about 15 minutes inspecting it. Even though the Triumph was freshly restored, he wanted to note any damage before the car entered the truck. Damage that occurs in transit is usually easy to spot, he added, as most owners know their cars well.
The truck had started its journey at the company’s Reliable South location in Orlando, where three cars were loaded. The driver added one more car on the way to our office. After our Triumph came aboard, the truck headed west.
Some of the cars on our truck were bound for Southern California, but despite the detour, our Triumph arrived at RM Auctions within five days—just as planned. The total shipping bill was around $2000.
