My 12yr old son met him tonight and had his pic taken with him in the truck he said that that was the coolest experience he's had in a long time, & his truck is awesome! He was such a very nice man to allow us to go into his private space I was so very grateful that he is as nice as he is! Thank you for making my son so happy!

[@wallabumba]

My daddy was a trucker his entire working life. When we were kids (back in the 70's) he brought home the sleeper off a truck that was being demolished. It was just big enough for us three skinny little kids to get into. We sat it in the back yard and called it the "Command Post". Good times (you know, when kids played outside with sticks and their bikes and didn't come home until the street lights came on). That sleeper was a FAR CRY from what you have in your current rig. It is beautiful! God bless and safe travels!

[@TucsonMuscle]

As someone who retired from Reliable, I can tell you there is NO better company in the industry. If you're doing something out of the ordinary that you haven't done before and need advice, there is always another driver you can call to offer suggestions. It is a company that when you call, 9 times out of 10, they'll recognize your voice and no who's calling before you even give you name. Their loyalty to their drivers and the needs of their drivers can't be matched. It is a company that truly knows what the term teamwork means. The staff in the office knows that without the drivers, nothing gets done and the driver know the reverse is true. From upper management, to sales, to dispatching to accounting to the best "car haulers" in the industry, if you're looking for THE company to work for, call Reliable.

A few years ago I bought a 73 Mustang Conv out of Florida from a collector. Another Reliable power couple out of Florida who had a similiar rig as the one shown here delivered it to Milwaukee Wi for us. Husband/Wife team that lived on the road 10 months out of a year and kept a small condo in Florida for the 2 months down a year. They were a great couple with an immaculate truck, outfitted just as this one was. Best quote was from the Mrs "I don't do truck stops". Best comment from the Mr. "She needs to stay slimmer than me so she can crawl into the cars" They were a hoot with each other. Price for delivery was about equal to what it would have cost me to drive down with my Ram and car hauler and bring it back up north. I would use this company again.

[@ryancross8136]

I’ve been a Mercedes-Benz service advisor for the past 20-years. This is hands down the best automotive transportation company out there! The drivers take pride in their work!

[@1allanbmw]

Drove over 40 yrs. Hauled cars early 2000's, mostly 10 car open carriers. I think of all the things I did in trucking, hauling cars, particularly POV's was what I enjoyed the most. Always a challenge to put a load together and get everything there safely. But I miss the people and their stories the most. I could tell a bunch! Beautiful rig from end to end! Only thing I'd grumble about is the cruise shut down too. I'd even get used to auto, although it seems a bit too civilized. Lol! Had to retire for health reasons. Miss being out there sometimes. Enjoy this time together and have fun while you can. Stay healthy and safe. And God bless you both. Reliable is top of the heap in my book. Take care.

[@ReliableCarriers]

Thank you!! We appreciate that! All the best to you.

Well I just have to say that I really enjoyed this video! I have never seen this channel before but decided to hit the thumbnail and watch this. I really learned some cool facts from presentation, about a small segment of long haul trucking delivering only high-end vehicles of high value or importance. This couple really has me impressed with their obvious love for this special service. I have no doubt that Reliable hires only the cream of the crop to represent their company, and this couple come across to me as genuine caretakers that take ride in their level of professionalism. It's nice to see that they have such a terrific living space built in to the truck. It's got to make long haul trucking a bit easier if you have a quiet comfortable place to rest and R and R while your other half is doing the driving for a few long miles. Thanks for sharing this video!

We had a 132" ARI when we retired from Ranger in 2010. As comfortable as it was, they sure do look cramped in the video after being off the road for 12 years. They've come a long ways and came up with a lot of cool bells and whistles since our days. If I was going to move a nice car I would hire Reliable. If I was going to move a load of 500# bombs or a backhoe, I would hire Landstar Ranger...

Any input or opinions on Landstar Express vs FedEx Customer Critical as an operator ? Thanks

[@idahosagebrush5662]

@@lucas-ct5uy We did a lot of truckload contract work for FedEx with a couple of other carriers before Landstar and they seem to treat drivers well. We never liked their "every day is race day" attitude, though. There was actually once a poster in a drivers lounge with that on it... We had a dedicated run from San Jose to Oakland airport to Chicago airport then to Newark NJ airport once a week, (6000 miles), and had a day and a half off every week in San Jose. We had plenty of time on our FedEx runs, but that attitude was still there. Hot freight cools off real fast laying in the barrow pit. Landstar also treats drivers quite good, and drivers are NOT employees, nor treated as such. Dispatch is not forced, (unless on a dedicated run), but you might have to jump in to help in emergencies like when someone breaks down with a load that has to be moved or cannot be unattended. Landstar also had a lot of perks that saved us lots of money, and for the most part the DOT left us alone because of Landstar's safety program and record. If you can't follow rules, look elsewhere. Best thing is to talk to some OO's with Express for info on their specific ops, or call LS and talk to them. Warning: they are very picky and of you try to omit anything on an application, you're done...even if you spent your last dime getting to a terminal for hiring and orientation. You can also consider Mercer Transportation and Tri State Motor Transport (TSMT) if you want to get into hauling "sensitive" loads. They might even have some company jobs, but I haven't kept up with the industry.
