I have shipped a number of big ticket items in the past so I have a feel for the things I need to look out for. And I figure a cross-country shake ride will help with the warranty punchlist. So, we'll see. If things go South I'll deal with it.
When I was looking at a couple different used rigs a while back, I contacted the NRVIA, www.nrvia.org, to provide an inspection report on the rigs I was looking at. Never pulled the trigger, but the 2 different inspectors I spoke with seemed very knowledgeable. They put their name and reputation on the line in doing inspections and giving you a signed report. Had I got truly serious about one of these rigs, I felt very comfortable in using an inspector from them.

If it is a New unit from a Dealer as you state they can set up the transport for you for probably much less than you can find someone to transport it. good luck but I would drive to the dealer and do my own inspection and take it home. if you don't have time now wait until you do. You wont be sorry
