Thanks to everyone for a great 5+ years!
Wanted to thank everyone for the past 5+ years in the auto transportation business. It was more than a job for my brother Doug and I. It was a mission to get as many cool cars to as many of you as possible. Unfortunately, the high cost of fuel, all the government regulations and permits and everyday costs of doing business and staying on the road has made it impossible for us to continue financially. People have said, raise your prices. which is easy to say but hard to do and keep somewhat competitive with the big guys. Also too many delivery guys running in the grey area by not having all the permits, registrations and insurance so they can be the least expensive. Please beware of these guys! We prided ourselves on the fact that we did everything by the book and were legal, which meant your cars were much safer. We are keeping the corporation of Rich's Classic Transport alive so can get back in the game if the economy gets better. For now Doug is working for a local transport company hauling general freigth between terminals. For me, I am doing an owner/operator position with a local transportation company. Will be transporting meat from the midwest to CA and Texas and bring produce back to grocery warehouses in our region.
Again, Doug and I would like to thank all our loyal and good customers for their support and hope to be able to be back in the "cool" car transportation business again. Your friend, Richard Lacy
