I need a car picked up near Spokane wa
I bought a '57 vw bug in Green Acres Wa that I need to get to Marysville Wa. Anyone know a reliable flatbed guy in the area? Rather not use a multi car hauler. About a 5 hour drive.

I can't help you with the flatbed, but maybe call this guy?

Will it fit in an enclosed trailer?
A friend is moving the opposite way- Bringing his trailer full of stuff from south Puget sound, probably heading back empty. I can get the inside measurements of his trailer later today. I'll ask if he's willing to detour north on the return |

62" wide will definitely fit.
Don't know what he has for strong tie downs inside. He can use the ramps from my flatbed if it has barn doors. He should be here in an hour or two. |

Looks like the trailer is going to stay here for a week.
It's possible he could do this next week if you haven't found another solution. Trailer could easily haul a bug, and Highway 2 is a stunningly beautiful drive. His normal route would be I-90. |

That last post is a bit suspicious. Only 3 posts and the user name is not arranged the same way.

Randy Webb had at least 3 user names each an iteration of RWebb, never an obscurity so you knew it was the same person. I used to see these things as a mod.
Sorry to digress and hijack the thread, but it is possible that there is no chicanery going on here and it is JW. But JW can clear it up. If the car gets hauled that shows the extraordinary comradery here.

I posted that one from my phone, which I rarely do. Since the recent pelican Cloud flare Cluster fk, my original user name from 2001 popped up. Been trying to permanently delete it.
