Hiring A Boat Trucking Pro Shows Good Sense

By Eric Burns


Boating enthusiasts from all over the world have a similar system of working their way up from a small flat-bottomed John Boat to a lake yacht. There are often a number of boats that they own and enjoy before reaching the top of their game, and each old vessel can get sold in order to accumulate a handsome down payment. Unfortunately, these men and women sometimes make the mistake of not hiring a professional boat trucking company to deliver their new toy.

Most people truly do not have the skills or experience to tow something so large a long and perilous distance. If their auto insurance carrier does not strongly encourage them to change their mind about driving it themselves, then they are derelict in their duty. Any good broker should immediately recognize the inherent dangers, and be ready to give their client a detailed description of everything that could go wrong.

Such a trip over land carries added complexity if the vessel is too tall to go under overpasses and over bridges. Should the owner have an inadequate trailer or truck with which to make this journey, then the consequences to himself can be financially dire. Many insurance carriers are likely to insist on hiring a professional, stating that the reward is not worth the risk.

Many of these craft are purchased out of country, and delivered to a harbor far, far from the home they will soon know. This creates an additional problem for the new buyer since they have to go twice as far to pick it up. The overall potential cost of picking up a large ship from one coast and driving it to the other will run them well over what a professional driver would charge them to perform this service.

Such an independent driver, in any country, would have the skills and experience to make the delivery in a safe and efficient manner. Bridges and tunnels are no sweat to these seasoned road jockeys. It carries a much lower risk factor for them to do the job they know rather than the new owner setting out and risking everything.

While the owner may be well meaning, he or she is most likely not going to have a big enough or sturdy enough trailer for their new ship. Using inadequate equipment makes the entire task unnecessarily dangerous for all. Not only do they endanger themselves, but every other motorist is also is peril from this choice.

Professional drivers will have much more adequate insurance for their service as well, and this is why an auto insurance carrier is likely to encourage the owner to hire someone. In this way, should there be an accident, the new owner holds zero liability for the consequences of their choice. In fact, the commercial insurance carrier will have to provide them with a brand new yacht.

The possibilities for terrible things to happen when an inexperienced driver attempts to embark on a foolish errand is clear. Anyone who listens to their insurance company and finds a reputable individual to make the delivery has shown prudence. In fact, this prudence may even be less costly than what the yacht owner might have paid to make such a long journey on his or her own.
