Hello, I’m Cal, I’m retired, and have been a long-haul trucker. That means I spent weeks or months at a time on the road. I can handle almost any vehicle, as well as how to handle any kind of road or situation that comes up.
I buy my own food and beverages, pack light, and I don’t drink or do illegal drugs. I respect your privacy if you want to seal your vehicle for privacy. I can pair you up to my Waze account so you can track me as I go.
There are details to discuss, like costs, expectations, roadside assistance coverage, etc, that we can discuss when the time is right.
I’m about helping others out. You get what you need to be moved taken care of by an experienced person at a heavily discounted price, and I get to keep busy during my retirement while putting some scratch in my pocket and getting away from the balls and chains of life. Oh, during late autumn, as a trusted community member, I play Santa!
Let’s talk about YOUR needs!

Hi Shawna. My name is Mark Dougherty and I am a driver for hire. To give you a good estimate I need your starting and ending point. Your two points NV and WY according to Google maps are almost 14 hours of driving time not 10 hours.

Expenses:
Driving: $140.00
Meals: $40.00 per day x 2=$80.
Motel: $100.00+/- for one night
Fuel: Approximately $145.00
Plane ticket to NV from San Diego and one checked bag
Return plane ticket to San Diego and one checked bag

Hi Cal,
Any interest in driving a car from NY to Kodiak AK?

The issue would likely be I would need a passport, I don’t believe I can drive thru Canada without a passport and I will not get the vax. If it is possible to do a ferry from Seattle to Anchorage, and not have to enter Canada, it would be a bucket-list item to go to Alaska.

Hi Yung. I saw your post for Cal and I would be very interest in driving your car from New York to Kodiak AK. I use Google maps to determine the driving cost. I charge $10 an hour driving time and Google maps says it’s an 88 hour drive. My driving cost would be $880.00 plus expenses.
Expenses:
Driving: $880.00
Meals: $40.00+/- per day
Motels: $100.00+/- per night
Fuel: unknown cost
Plane ticket from San Diego (where I live) to New York plus one checked bag
Return plane to San Diego plus one checked bag.
$60 for my wife to drive me to the airport and pick me up on my return
I put all expenses on my credit card with the exception of the plane tickets. I ask that you put them on your credit card. You pay only what is on the receipts.
I have references.
This would be an expensive trip. I believe it is faster driving than to ship it all depends on what would be best for you.

Hey hey,
I’m a 31 year old female from Australia looking to drive somebodies car from the east coast to the west coast at the end of July or start of August (I need to get from Connecticut to LA) but I’m very flexible on locations and dates. I’ve been driving for 15 years and in lots of different countries – including the past 2 months in rental cars and families cars in the US. I am a very safe driver and have reference if needed.
I love driving and would like to see some more of the country and make a couple of stops before I head back to Australia but can’t afford a rental different city drop fee.
Contact me on [email protected] if your in need of a car relocated

Drive you vehicle (car, truck or RV) to Florida.

Looking for someone who needs a vehicle driven from Minneapolis, MN, to the Bay Area, CA, sometime in August. We need to transport a dog from MN to CA and are exploring options for flying there and driving back. Good driving records here! We wouldn’t charge for the trip, as we’d be doing each other a favor (maybe we split gas?). Obviously you’d have to be okay with a dog (yellow lab) in your car (adult, potty trained, likely to shed a bit, likely to sleep the whole trip and not take a turn driving).
Email me at [email protected].
Thanks!

Hi,
I have the vehicle in Birmingham, Alabama, that I need driven to San Jose, California. I’ve wanted to do it myself but don’t really want to fly out there. I also have a yellow ear slider turtle that would like to be a passenger. I have dogs and would be perfectly fine with your dog in the car. Is this site legit?-
I replied to your first post but they have not posted my reply. Please either call me at 619-993-6577 or email me @ [email protected]

*Offering free vehicle transportation from PNW or Northern California to tri-state area / DC*
I’m moving from the Seattle area to New York and don’t have much to transport by way of U-Haul, so I wanted to explore the option of driving someone’s vehicle across the country. I won’t charge for the trip as it would be mutually beneficial to have a vehicle to travel with my things.
The dates I’m planning to drive from Seattle to New Jersey are August 11-16, but we could shift slightly if needed.
Please email me to discuss further: [email protected]

Hello, my name is Cal, I am retired, and have been a long-haul trucker. That means I spent weeks or months at a time on the road. I can handle almost any vehicle, as well as how to handle any kind of road or situation that comes up.
I pack light. I don’t drink or do illegal drugs. I respect your privacy if you want to seal your vehicle or moving truck for privacy. I can pair you up with my Waze account so you can track me as I go.
$12/hr while driving, or on duty fueling, etc. For overnight accommodations, I don’t need a five-star but I also don’t like critters as roommates. Usually under $75. Also a flight home to L.A., coach is fine, and if it’s not too long a trip, I’ll ride Amtrak, and finally, the cost of a ride by train or plane from LAX to the Bay Area.
I buy my own food and beverages. Again, I don’t drink, don’t do illegal drugs, and don’t smoke on or off duty.
There are other details about roadside coverage and assistance we can discuss when the time is right.
I’m about helping each other out. You get what you need moved by an experienced person at a heavily discounted price, and I get to keep busy during my retirement while putting some scratch in my pocket.

Hi, I’m driving from Boston to Phoenix starting mid-day on July 23rd with my dog (an adult yellow lab named Butters). I’m looking for a companion and co-pilot as well as someone willing to share some driving with to make it across in 5 days total (about 8-10 hrs of driving per day). I’ll cover all gas, snack food and tolls. Hoping to find someone who is looking to get out west and is easy-going and helpful. Must like dogs, music, maybe a good podcast and some conversation.
I’m 57 and on my way back from a 2-month trip in various places – mostly in Maine. I’m dropping my wife at Logan Airport in Boston on 7/23 and then heading back to where I live in Phoenix.
Please let me know if you’d be interested. Happy to share all of my details and I’ll want to get all of your details including references.

Hi Roy,
We are looking for someone to drive our 2018 Prius Prime from Massachusetts to the Bay Area. We live in Amherst Mass and are moving in early August. We will be driving our other car out there, so we don’t need the second one immediately, but wondered if your October timing means early or late October and how firm it is. The timing is our only hesitation, but we are certainly interested. We are happy to pay for gas. We would have to work out where the car would be for August and September.
Please let me know your thoughts [email protected] or 413 374 1220
