Hi jsachs, madorman makes a really good point if you have to have something "heavy hauled", there are lot of free lancers out there. Here is a little more (hopefully good) advice. I have always tried to call a large, well known rigging company even if they don't have a division in the area, here's why. My shop does alot of work for local Rubber & Plastic companies. A while ago one of the shops sent us to unhook and "pre-rig" if you will, 4 transfer presses that they had purchased at an auction. They needed to be rigged then hauled from Petersberg MI. (just North of Toledo) to be rebuild at Erie PA. After receiving a quote for $7650.00 from a local rigging company, we contacted the company that we usually use (once or twice a year). They didn't have enough time to get a crew down there in the time we were given to remove the presses. BUT, they had a "buddy" in Detroit that they got us in contact with. This "almost local" rigger gave us a price of $4800.00. Now, I have nothing against the first Company I understand that they have to make a living too, but it is all about the bottom line. My point that I trying to make with this book I've just written is this. If you can find a big, well known rigging company in the yellow pages call them, chances are if you only have a few items to move they might send you to one of there buddies too. Good Luck.
