You have hit upon an important point- having truckers who can handle heritage vehs with care and knowledge. I know a couple big time collectors/ business types who are very careful who they use on a regular basis.
The other issue is that while wanting to deal with one or two truckers, you also limit yourself to their availability. They do not sit around waiting for your call and money talks so they take business whenever they can get it.
Be sure if you do find someone and book him that you follow through. Last minute cancellation will guarantee that you never hear from him again.
Good luck!
