Reliable Transport; recommended.
The FedEx guy was kind of funny. He was a dead-ringer for Jerry Garcia and had a dog up in the cab of the big rig. He put on white cotton gloves and put plastic or paper over the seat and steering wheel. Then he drove it on the magic ramp, got out with a wireless remote control, pushed a button and *poof* it was gone in to the bowels of the truck all by itself -- it had some sort of carousel in there that moved cars around. He called me from the road a few times to give me his travel progress, etc.
