Had to throw the guy off my property. First he shows up, does some measuring and flips out. His enclosed trailer allowed for an inch on either side...technically would have fit. Didn't tell me that the enclosed trailer is not his, is brand new and going to a customer in Las Vegas. He didn't have permission to use the brand new trailer to ship a boat in.
Says he didn't want to mess up the new trailer (who cares about the boat??).
Then he goes off about me and the buyer not giving him the correct measurements. I showed him a text which I sent to him with the (accurate) measurements. Then he slams a wrench down on the new paint on the boat's transom (no damage) if there was, he'd have more issues than getting thrown off my land.
I give him a warning, then he says "fuck" in front of my son. I tell him that's strike 2.
Then he says he's going to put a ratchet strap across the boat's gunwhale to "make up an inch or 2" (seriously) in essence, bending the boat's hull.
That's when I told him to get off my property.
He pulls out of my driveway and parks across the street in front of a local business....
"Someone" called the sheriff to report suspicious activity.
I assume the sheriff's deputy made him leave. I went out later and he wasn't there.
Then he texts me at 9 PM asking if I found a measuring tape, his was missing. I responded, no haven't found it and since he can't use one correctly, why look for it.
What a moron. Turns out the guy was removed from U Ship recently. Shocker.
Buyer is getting a new shipper.....DO NOT use HD Transport if you are shipping...the guy sounded great on the phone, but that went to shit 1 minute after he got here
Damn you, Herb
