I used Peterson as well. The cost coast to coast was very reasonable, they
picked up and delivered on time and were very considerate of what they were
transporting.

Have the glider in the trailer ready as though you were going to tow it a
long distance and all will be fine.

I cannot tell you how pleased I was with the service.

I've used http://www.petersontransport.com/ to move my trailer on a
low-loader flatbed east to west; they did a good job for me. Make sure
everything is well strapped down and padded inside as the ride can be
worse
than behind a tow vehicle (you may be sharing space with someone's boat
and
your trailer may be at the end).

I've been shopping around for used gliders and one of the factors I need
to consider is how far away it is. Obviously, if it's far away, I'll
need to get someone I don't know to do the pre-buy inspection and will
pay more to get the glider to me.

My local FBO says that $1/mile is a good figure to use when estimating
the cost of getting a glider from point A to our gliderport in
California.

Does that seem about right?

Also, what options are available for transport?

I've heard of hiring someone to tailer the glider. I've also heard of
folks using a freight company, where the glider trailer gets loaded onto
a trucky [preumably].

Any pros and cons to these methods?

Thanks,

Jeremy
