<VV> shippers (again)

Here we go again. Purchased a 62 Brier in Michigan. Called CarOnATruck whom 
I've dealt with before. Explained it was a mini-van type vehicle, got a 
quote,sent the $$$. They emailed me with a pick-up number, a date for pick-up (June 
29th) a date for delivery (July 5th) and everything was well with the world. 
The truck driver called late this afternoon saying he's cancelling the pick-up 
because he can't get his truck near the vehicle, trucks are not allowed on this 
road etc, etc ,etc. Said he wasn't told it was a van and the owner would have 
to drive it two miles to a terminal. Owner is presently out of town and left 
all the necessary paperwork with his neighbor.
   This same vehicle was brought to this address a few years ago right to the 
driveway by a car hauler!!!
    Now my question is: surely these people who advertise car hauling don't 
think everyone lives at a terminal. I'm sure they have had "in-ops" in the 
past, how are they handled? Why did the trucker not call his home base and ask for 
a local rollback to take it to the terminal.
   So now we start all over again. Sure is frustrating and expensive, not to 
mention dealing with a surly trucker.
   Your thought?  Ed in Fla
