Ya know... this arch has nice features - maybe those lift points can handle a dinghy?
Sorry, phone post fucked the formatting.

Wow wild story. Makes me happy I skipped trucking a boat to CA from the great lakes even after looking at a couple of boats.

Offer to pay for a one trip rider on his policy and pay the insurer DIRECTLY
There are actually a bunch of things one can do.

When I trucked my boat up from CA, I checked references. I also checked the trucking company's safety record on the federal "motor carrier safety administration" site - their "SAFER" (safety and fitness records) database shows accidents, safety infractions, inspection citations, etc.

And, through my own insurance, got a "binder" on the trip that covered the boat (not just gaps in the truckers' insurance... it covered *me*.) Cost about 40 bucks, and covered "from water to water", which seemed good, because the trucker's certificate of insurance only covered the boat "from lift to lift" - meaning from the time it touches the trailer until the time it is lifted off.

None of that would have helped with a guy who ran out of money in Oklahoma, though. Except maybe some red flags on the federal database listing.

What a saga!! Thanks for sharing, and big props to Dartanyon for keeping his cool! Probably throwing more good money after bad to chase the trucker. Learned that lesson well when I paid 2 grand for a 5 grand judgement on a deadbeat tenant. Judgement is good for life, but the only asset she had was her car which she needs to work, so not able to lien.

If you mean to imply that once you have a judgment it will stay in existence forever, you probably need to check with the court which granted it. Most judgments have an expiration date, but can usually be renewed.

Rocky is at it again. A trucker friend of mine and owner of one of my boats juts ran into him in Longbeach with a very unroadworthy looking boat on a trailer rig and supposedly headed for Texas.

I-10, ugh what a long and boring road. If it's coming to the Galveston Bay area I will watch out for it.

Yikes! Not coming here, my guess would be Lake Texoma on TX and OK border. Hard to believe anyone would pay to get it hauled except for off.

Looks like this. And no, this one is NOT my design!

Looks similar to the Double Ugly that Rasputin delivered. Those things keep on keepin on. That's a perfect haul for that guy. He should see if he can siphon any leftover diesel out of Double Ugly.
