Alex, Many years ago on the first MOMS tour I was involved with the trucking companies I contacted gave me liver damage high prices. After I was resuscitated it became clear our only realistic option was to make funds available to the participating sites to rent a truck ( if they needed) and let them go pick up the exhibit at the previous site. After four tours that is still how we do it. We have had only one crunch incident, last year, where a panel and crate was damaged in transit. Exactly how I have no idea. But we've had no other complaints!

We've never contracted anyone in this capacity. Does anyone with some similar experience have a sample contract they might be able to share?
