LETTERS

you notice that Robinson never mentioned that his boat ar¬ rived in perfect condition? People need to understand that re¬ gardless if we were late or early, we still have to drive the miles. We understand that everyone's time is very important, as is ours, but we cannot take money off the bill for a delay when we move oversize loads. It's funny, you can do 100 things right, but if you do one thing wrong you're the scum of the earth,"

So ends Bascom's response. Once again, our purpose in running these two sides of the story is not to direct blame, but to let everyone know what kinds of problems can possibly arise when having a boat trucked home. If the measurement of the boat is wrong, for example, things can start going wrong quickly, because boat haulers have severe" limitations on heights, widths, and when they can travel. Nonetheless, to date we have far more positive than negative reviews on hav¬ ing boats trucked home from Mexico.
