Hi Tricia,

Once again I want to say that having Dotan
Transport hauling my trailer from CT to FL
was a wonderful experience.  The pickup
and delivery was handled with the customer
in mind and you, the customer service
person was second to none!  All this was
done at a fair price.  I would recommend
your company to anyone.  Please feel free to
use my name as a reference in the future.  I
wish you and Dotan Transport great success!

Sincerely,

I wanted to report to you that the shipment of my Merit 25 from Beverly Mass to my home in Virginia went well.  I can't believe that Doug would drive all night to
deliver it and had a long way to go to get to the next tow.  He took good care to the boat, and it seems fine.  Thanks for your prompt service.  You can use me as a
reference if you need one in the future.

Hi,

I just wanted to pass on a thank you and advise how satisfied I was with your service and flexibility in meeting our shifting calendar.

Driver Steve Green battled snow several times and had to chain up 4 times, plus change a trailer tire as a result of a blow out. Despite all of this Steve kept me
posted on his progress and made our appointment for deliver exactly on time last Saturday at 7:30am.  He was very polite, informative and helped me launch the
boat, he was simply great to work with.

Thanks again.

Your company just delivered my 2000 32 foot Chris Craft Cruiser from Dallas Tx to Branson Mo and we couldn't be more happy. Not only were you the least
expensive of all the companies that I took bids from but Lee (the driver) cared for our boat like it was his own. He was very helpful receiving the boat and kept us
very informed all along the way.

This was a very important purchase for us and your company handled its delivery with complete professionalism. I will absolutely use Interstatehaulers the next
time we need a boat moved for us and have recommended your company to the boat broker that we purchased the boat from.

Thanks again,

Hi Tricia,

Just wanted to thank you guys for such quick service.  Steve did a great job on bringing our RV home from Oklahoma.  Thanks for such great service.  We would
use Interstate Haulers again and would recommend them to anyone who needed something transported.

Hi Tricia,

Just wanted to let you know my boat arrived Friday morning and it made the 2600 mile trip from California without a scratch. Everything was
perfect and Charles the driver couldn't have been nicer. I was extremely nervous about having someone else other than myself make the trip but
Charles was in contact with me and kept me informed along the way. I would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone needing your
service. Thanks again!

Aloha Tricia,

The boat has arrived in my front yard.  It is in excellent condition and the wheels / bearings are perfect.  Thank you and please thank Steve for taking care of the
boat during it's transport.  Even though the pick-up of metals did not come through, I'm very glad that you and Steve were willing to accomodate that as well.

Talk to you soon.
Aloha, Captain Dean Towle

Dear Jamie,

I met this morning, Sunday, with Alon and was pleased to have met him. He is very conscientious and did a very thorough job getting the boat ready for transport.  I
think I hit a home run when I came upon your web site.  Please let everyone know how much I appreciate your companies way of doing things.  I will certainly send
out information about the company to anyone that requires similar assistance.

Best wishes to all,

Dear Jamie,

I just wanted to thank you and your company for such great service.  
David brought our boat on Sunday and the trip north went very smoothly.  
I would highly recommend your company to anyone needing a boat moved.  
When the boat left florida my dad called and was extremely impressed
with David.  It was a little stressful not knowing anything about the
moving business and trying to find a company online, but your company made
everything easy and alot less stressful.

Thank you

Tricia;

I had my 24' Seaswirl Striper transported by you last week, from California to Texas. Dave was our driver, and I was impressed beyond words at the professionalism
and care for our boat he showed. He cared for our boat as if it was his own. He was in
contact with me during his trip and I knew where my boat was and how the trip was going, all along the
way. When I saw my boat when it arrived in Texas, I was astounded at how clean it was! Since Dave had
travelled mostly at night, it had picked up fewer bugs and dirt than we've gotten on it, towing it to a lake
in California!
It's always a tough decision when you place an expensive boat in the hands of someone you don't know.
Dave is a great guy, very personable, and knows what he's doing. I hope anyone who is approaching this big
decision as warily as I did can read my letter and choose Interstate Haulers, Dotan Transport with
confidence. And, ask for Dave!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm so happy to now
have my boat in Texas!

Kind Regards,

Kathy Stuesser

Jamie,

Just wanted to thank you for the great job in taking care of our boat.  Our hauler, Doug, was absolutely wonderful!!! What a gentleman.  He took as much care with
our boat as we would have.  He was on time and constantly kept us in touch.  (I think he knew how nervous we were).

We would absolutely recommend your company to anyone who is in need of having a boat transported to another state.  Again, thank you very, very much!!

Hey Jamie and Tricia
We have just had the pleasure of dealing telephonically  with, and finally meeting, Kevin, in person at the end of his run from Maryland to us here in Vermont
with our new boat.

What a conscientious, meticulous, thoughtful guy.  He arrived on time at the shipping point and kept us informed by phone during the day.  He gave us a little
primer on the trailer and its use on arrival and we all spent an enjoyable hour talking about our lives before he had to leave.

He is a treasure for you and by extension, has been a treasure for us.

I wanted to let you know that my boat arrived in great condition at Greenwood lake New Jersey yesterday.

Chris knew exactly what he was doing and provided excellent customer service to me, immediately answering all my calls and providing frequent updates.  I had
tie-down straps on the boat's transom , but Chris added an extra one in front for added security.  He also attached his own set of lights to the trailer because my
lights weren't getting a good ground.  He and I also dealt with the last minute problem of my marina's launch ramp being locked as he followed me to another
marina where we launched my boat.  

Jamie and the other administrative people also did a great job, arranging delivery to happen July 18th which was very convenient for me and was just as I had
requested.

I was extremely pleased with your service and would use it again if needed and would enthusiastically recommend your service to all other boaters.

Best Regards and Thanks,

Jamie, just a quick note to tell you how happy we were to have chosen your company and your choice of drivers, Steve.  What a professional great guy.  I can not say
enough about how thorough he was and how he followed up!  Thanks again for helping me out on such short notice with the move of my boat.  I will definitely
recommend your company in the future.

Thanks,

Wow!!  Everything you say on your web site seems to be the truth. If there
is anything more scarier than buying a vehicle or a boat on e-bay from
total unknowns, its finding another unknown to bring it home. In the past I
have purchased 2 vehicles via e-bay, and even though the sales went smooth,
the transportation was a nightmare.....not so with you guys. Tricia is fantastic...actually tells you the truth.
I had the drivers phone number and between the two of them I knew
exactly what was happening at all times.  Chris told me the day before that he would be here at 9:00am and  showed up at 8:58am. Great price, greater service...give
my phone number to anyone
wanting a reference...thanks a million!

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know that I received my 236 Sailfish Boat yesterday and could not be happier with the service I received!  Alon was your driver and he was
fast, courteous and above all, meticulous about highway safety and the condition of my boat.  At the time of delivery, we had to launch the boat directly into the
water and the tide was low.  Alon worked extremely hard to safely launch the boat under difficult conditions and did a fantastic job!  I am in the fishing business in
the Northeast, and will definitely recommend your company to others in the future!!

Thanks!

Hi Tricia

This is Paul Paspa, and I just wanted to write and let you know I just  came back from the storage facility where my boat was delivered this morning, and wanted to
write and let you know how pleased I was with the service Interstate Haulers, and particularly Doug provided.  Everything went very very smoothly.  Doug did a
great job and was right on

time at the pick up and drop off.  He took care to be sure everything was secure and well taken care of, and even stopped along the way to avoid a possible hailstorm
up ahead.  I really appreciate the work he did, and wanted to let you know me and my father are both very pleased with the service you and he provided.

Thank you,

Tricia,

I have to update you with my first experience with Dotan Transport.  Mark Allen was a very professional, detailed and courteous shipper of my boat.  Mark called in
advance to arrange pick-up and time of desired to drop off.  This was my first time dealing with a shipping company to deliver a high dollar amount boat.  Mark
Allen called me from time to time to keep me updated through out the day.  He made sure the boat and trailer was road worthy and detailed the status of the boat
before he began the trip.  Mark arrived at the time he estimated it would take him to reach me.  Mark made sure that my boat had the best care during the trip.  
The trip was over 800 miles and Mark delivered my boat on schedule.  Communication, professionalism and a dedicated driver equals customer satisfaction.  If I
ever need a transport or recommend one, Dotan is the way to go.   I would be more than happy to be a contact/reference for customers who are not comfortable with
having their item shipped.  Thank you Mark and Dotan Transports!

Hi Tricia;

Sorry I haven't written sooner, but we've been busy pouring over our new little trailer.

I just wanted to say thank you for providing an excellent service. The driver (Mike Putroff) was professional and friendly, took care of our trailer during the trip,
and dropped it off when he said he would (actually, 10 minutes early). I felt like it was in good hands.

Add me to your list of satisfied customers. If you ever need a positive reference, we will be happy to share our good experience.

I just wanted to give you some feedback on the boat move last week. everything went very well and the driver Mike Payne was extremely helpful, polite, a good
communicator and a pleasure to work with. I wanted to thank both you and Mike for all your efforts. Hope you all have a Happy Holiday season.

Thanks again!

Tricia,

Just a note to let you know how pleased we are with your company and employees!!!!  Chris & Anna Tackett picked our boat up on 2-15-05 as a backup to a driver
who broke down.  They are so very professional and friendly, even took digital photos of our boat in SC at our new marina!  We will recommend your company and
staff to everyone.  Please commend Chris and Anna, they're thoughtful, polite and so very kind.

Thank you!
