Thanks for all of the helpful insight. Our original plan was to have each
site be responsible for getting it to the next place. However, Florida is a
huge state and there’s as much 6 hours of driving time between some of the
sites, so we decided to handle the logistics ourselves. A local truck
driver school is willing to do it for less than half of the lowest quote we
received from a professional company.



I guess we’re trying to weigh the benefits of low cost vs. the peace of
mind that a large company would provide (though I suppose a large company
doesn’t necessarily guarantee good service).

Alex,



We make each site partner apply for a grant from us as part of the
process.  It is their responsibility to get the exhibit to the next site
and use money from the grant to pay for it.  Most use Ryder or Uhaul and do
it themselves.  They are responsible for loading and driving to the next
site.

Hi everyone,



We’re new to MOMS and in the process of courting a local truck driving
school to help move the exhibit from site to site. We’ve never contracted
anyone in this capacity. Does anyone with some similar experience have a
sample contract they might be able to share?



Thanks,
