transport glider trailers around various parts of the country.

Anyone with good recommendations on who to use? Bad experiences?

What does it typically cost?

Thanks!

For towing glider trailers, I would like to recommend Gerry Bupte (gbupte at gmail dot com) 218-209 1 nine nine 3. He recently towed my glider from San Antonio Texas to California for about $1/mile (no charge for getting to pickup point or getting back home). I located him through uship.com but you can contact him directly and avoid the up charge. He did a great job, was very communicative, picked up and dropped off within 30 min of scheduled time, and was able to carry some extra stuff in his crew cab that would not fit in the trailer. He said he would love to do more of this type of towing, so think of him before your next far away contest.

Thanks!
I’ll contact him.
This is probably a small enough community, we should share good contacts of

those who have done a good job at reasonable rates.
I appreciate the tip.
