I ran into a brick wall. I want to ship my glider with my trailer, for
ease of transportation here and in Europe. Some of the brokers want me
to remove the glider from the trailer and ship it separate. I can not
explain to those guys what a glider is and they don't see the concept
of a glider trailer. They all are thinking it is a hang glider.
Please call me at 509 380 4106 (my cell) or email jacekkobiesa at
raypoland and sons dot com (everything is one word without any
spaces). So, if you have any idea on who to contact, please help.

Thanks for your help.

HI Jacek,

The magic word seems to be RoRo (roll-on, roll-off). Once you say
that, the bell seems to ring. Unfortuantley, I only know an East
Coast broker who has done a few of these.

Jacek,

Last time I drove through Kalama they were operating RoRos out of one
of the docks. You might give a call to the Port of Kalama and see who
is using their shipping terminal and who to contact. Otherwise,
someone might know how you could get some space in a container.

best of luck,
Craig Funston
