Congratulations on your new venture !
Hopefully I will be contacting you soon ;)
Good luck Chris!!!
Anyone know this gent? I have sent emails through his website and have received no response. No phone provided.
Pru is one of the ApexSpeed moderators. I'm guessing he's on the road right now.Quote:

Perhaps my reply was filtered as SPAM?
I will resend shortly...
Take care,
Thank You ApexSpeed! Our first month has FAR exceeded expectations!
While we specialize in formula cars, our motto is "if it fits, it ships". That is, if we can fit it within our 20'x8' trailer, we'll move it.
Attached photos are a few examples of our recent relocations; a 2002 Swift 014 (w spares) as well as a 1973 Triumph Stag.
Take care,

They transported my Swift 014 from Indy to Austin, TX with no drama. Chris kept me apprised on his progress and the car arrived in great shape precisely when he committed to arriving. I absolutely recommend 895 Transit!

what sort of cost was this? I have a car in Indy I'm looking at but it will need to be shipped to Portland Oregon.Quote:

I have known Chris for many years. He is one of the most honest people that I know. If I ever need to ship my FMod, I would not hesitate to use him.

Happy New Year ApexSpeed!
After one year of operations, a few comments on the state of 895 Transit:
~ The number of requests for formula car / sport racer transport FAR exceeded my expectations; the market is solid!
~ Costs (fuel/insurance/maintenance) are such that my price/mile rate has doubled over the the course of the year.
~ Given the above, my "1/2-ton pickup / 20' trailer" business model no longer works.
To that end, I will not be booking any new shipments going forward; I am fully committed through May/2022. In the meantime, I am evaluating equipment upgrades to better serve the community.
Thanks ApexSpeed; looking forward to 2022!
ApexSpeed,
As much as I would like to continue, 895 Transit is suspending operations indefinitely; the dramatic rise in expenses over the last 18 months make this venture no longer viable.
Thanks to all that have reached out; it was my pleasure to assist you. When the numbers make sense again, I hope to relaunch.
Take care,
