What Jim hauls

Three ways to move a boat

Wholesale runs for dealerships, white-glove delivery for owners, and seat time in your equipment when that is all you need.

The system

Run like a military op

Air Force logistics and a construction company will do that to a man. Every delivery follows the same four-step drill.

Brief

We lock the details: pickup, drop-off, boat specs, dates, and rate. One point of contact from first call to handoff: Jim.

Secure

Straps, bunks, lights, tires, tongue weight. A full pre-run inspection with photos before a single mile rolls.

Transport

GPS-tracked every mile, with updates along the route. You always know exactly where your boat is.

Deliver

Walkaround on arrival, photos, signature, done. On the schedule we agreed to, at the rate we agreed to.

  • Commercial liability and cargo coverage on every haul
  • Certificate of insurance in your inbox before your boat moves
  • GPS mileage log for every delivery, dealer-billing friendly
  • Photo documentation at hookup and at handoff

How rates work

The guy behind the wheel

Country boy. Texas strong.

Air Force logistics veteran. Former construction company owner. The kind of guy who has never met a stranger and never missed a delivery window. He also races a 34-foot Baja, so yes, your boat is in experienced hands.
