I was fortunate enough to have my RV-8 QB wings and fuselage delivery handled by Tony Partain, who specializes in arranging aircraft component shipping for several manufacturers, including Van's. Tony was very responsive and helpful in providing details regarding the entire process. He uses a few select carriers; my parts were delivered by Don Furr, driving for Stewart Transport. Don contacted me prior to departure, kept in touch as he traveled across the country and arrived exactly on time. He was able to get his long truck and trailer much closer to my house than I anticipated, and his rig was equipped with a built-in crane and large dolly that made the transfer go much smoother than expected, even with rain and icy conditions. He was friendly, helpful and patient with my inexperienced crew and made sure the job got done right. Everything arrived in good condition, and based on my experience I would highly recommend both Partain Trading Company and Stewart Transport.
