Pros: you don't have to drive the truck.
Cons: we feel kind of cheated.

Cons: Trailed leaked a bit - no major damage.

Cons: can't think of one

Pros: CHEAP! Online tracking.
Cons: Indifferent local customer service. Terrible scheduling.

Cons: Bring your own ramps and/or dollies if you know someone who has them.

Cons: The trailer was a little late.

Cons: you have to pack it all yourself, made for a couple sweaty days

Cons: You have to do all the loading and unloading yourself.
