Greetings PNW Corvette folks,

We are joining the caravan from Issaquah, WA, this will be our first. Really looking forward to it!

Question: We are likely going to be pressed for time getting back home to our work lives. Has anyone had experience with shipping their car, and flying home from Nashville, Dayton, etc.? The problem I am seeing is pinning a shipping company down on an exact pick-up date in BG, Nashville, etc. I checked with the Museum, and they referred me to their preferred list of shippers. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to pin down an exact pick-up time so that we can plan our flight home.

It would be nice to know someone in Nashville who would offer a spot in their driveway for a few days until the car can get picked up.

Thanks for any advice.
Nick

I would contact your Co-Captain John Elegant. He is well connected in the BG area. If you are not yet a member of the Pacific Northwest Corvette Caravan facebook page, I’d sign up for that as well and ask the question there.

Maybe rather than try to nail down an exact pickup time, have the car picked up the day before you fly out.

Thanks, I have emailed John and not heard back. Perhaps he is picking up yet another new car ;-)

The Facebook page for the Pacific NW Caravan has also been pinged, no help there yet.

Thanks, that's exactly the strategy I've tried, but there is just no way to pin down a shipping company with a pick-up date. You can pay extra for a guaranteed date, but they still give themselves at least a day of leeway "just in case.'
