We use Freedom Heavy Haul for all our oversize moves now. They have better equipment and their drivers seem more experienced. Bennett is big but you're just a number to them.

You've got a point about the wind. I used to think they were all the same until I saw one get torn apart. Might have to look into a heavier option like you did.

That $700 repair must have been a major system like the transmission. I've seen people get quotes for simple things like a sensor or a belt for under $300. Did you get a second opinion or was it a single quote from your usual shop? Sometimes what they call critical isn't always a trip stopping issue right away.
