Hi Sheila,
We have an informal agreement with our exhibit transporter. We
reimburse him for mileage at the rate of 45 cents per mile round trip.
We also have been pay him a stipend of $100 per trip for the last two
MOMSD exhibits that he transported for us.
We have not made arrangements with him as of yet for the Journey Stories
exhibit tour in Ohio which starts in June of 2013.
I hope this is helpful. I think that the fact that we know our truck
driver well is the reason for our own arrangement. I suspect that some
other states may have a written contract that they use, although I don't
know this for sure.
All the best with your plans--
Jack

Hello Jack,
I am the program coordinator for the Wyoming Humanities Council
and am trying to figure out the cost of using UHauls or private
individuals to move our MoMS exhibit around the state. I very much
appreciated the email you sent about moving the MoMS exhibit. I am
contacting some of the other states and exploring various options. My
guard contact says that if they do it they have to charge to avoid
unfair competition. Problem is I am not sure if they mean the rate a
shipping company, a moving company or what we would pay volunteers to
drive UHauls. I need to come up with some figures and am wondering
about per diem and fuel costs. Do you pay the gentleman with the box
truck a set amount or do you pay per diem and mileage?
Thanks for any help you are able to provide. If you have
documents you can share that would be great - I know everyone is busy!

Hi Alex,
Our experience with shipping MOMS in Ohio used to be the same as
what Ken said about Montana (which I admire--there's a lot of distance
in your state!). In short, two staff drove the exhibit crates around to
each site ourselves in a rental truck.
For the last two MOMS tours, though, we have had a gentleman who
is a member of a county historical society who has done the exhibit
transport for us in his own box truck. His county hosted the Between
Fences exhibit in 2008 and at our first orientation meeting he talked
about his interest in doing the transporting. We tried him out and
everything went fine with that exhibit tour and with the next one, which
was New Harmonies. He has also moved another traveling exhibit for us a
few times, a photo exhibit that Council staff designed ourselves.
I know that other states have made other arrangements. You
might talk with David Morgan in Mississippi if you haven't already. I
believe their Council uses drivers from a truck driving school
associated with a community college, or something like that.
New Mexico a few years ago had a contact with their state
national guard (I don't know how) and I believe the guardsmen were
transporting a MOMS exhibit between its sites for them (might have been
Key Ingredients).
There seem to be lots of solutions to the exhibit transporting
issue. It depends on who you know, what you want to do yourself, and
also what the MOMS staff will deem okay.
All the best with your search,
Jack

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,
