Default Need to move a glider west

Bit of a long shot but as part of my retirement masterplan I've agreed to Purchase an ASW-20 in Ohio. If anyone is headed West from that area with an empty hitch I am willing to pay expenses to help move my new purchase. The glider needs to end up in Ephrata, WA.

Thanks,
Charlie

If you don't find anybody here, try UShip.

You might want to put on new tires and repack the bearings.

I moved a glider in a Cobra trailer from Chicago to Harris Hill.* I
charged $1,800 (IIRC) for the trip.* Towing a trailer reduces the
efficiency of the tow vehicle.* I was on a road trip anyway and the
deviations off course to pick up and deliver the glider were not that
excessive.

I shipped a Cobra from California to Georgia for $2000 bucks with Uship.com.. You post your request and drivers bid on your job. We got 2 drivers that had delivered a job out west and were looking for anything headed back east.. Bargain deal.........ship was delivered in good condition in about a week..

I just got the registration updated for the trailer and have requested a quote on Uship.com
Probably going to have it dropped at Ephrata.

I have been to Cesar Creek, not that far away. I should know by Friday if I am making the trip.
