Were into boat moving, Intrastate and Interstate.

Well, a picture says a thousand words. However, we move large objects, typically constructed out of hundreds of gallons of resin, many sheets of fiberglass, Kevlar and Carbon fiber, Steel and Aluminum, Brass and Stainless, possibly Titanium? "The bigger object you can combine the following materials in, the better." Says owner Casey Onsgaard. 

This company actually started out as a single frozen pea. Yep, the one you'll find in the freezer. In the very bottom, fallen from the bag with frost on it. Ice started to form on this pea and that's where the story began. The original business/hobby was called Afordtransport get it? A-ford transport. Affordable-Transport! that's a knee slapper. Actually, Casey had purchased a Ford f350 dually flatbed truck from Craigslist and did some barter work with his father in-law to obtain a single car 2 axle trailer. The idea was great, He'd haul something here or there buy a car and fix it up? Then sell it for a profit! Well, the first car came. actually, it was a Jeep Cherokee Laredo, with a bad transmission and mold growing all throughout the interior. Let's just say Casey broke even on this deal after spending over 3 weeks fixing it up investing time and money into the you know what. Well, that plan didn't pan out so good. So, Casey set off to put his new truck to work! Keep in mind in the meantime he worked graveyard at a produce warehouse in Portland, OR. Well, the work started flowing in. A little trailer tow here, move a boat there. He then moved onto purchasing a newer truck. A diesel! you know good fuel millage higher towing capacity better on the old wallet than the 460ci gas guzzler. This truck which would then land him onto his first real hauling job with an actual manufacturer of boats! ALUMAWELD boats as a matter of fact... oh boy was this exciting. They required a large insurance policy, legal operation, just about everything Casey had no extra money for. Well, it was worth a shot, right? Casey jumped right in and put everything he had into making this idea work. This is where (DRFT co. Transport) begun. You might ask why/what is DRFT? Well now looking back. Casey believes he may be afraid of vowels. No just kidding it was supposed to be catchy! Something out of the ordinary to make you remember the name! DRFT DR-I- FT DR-FT.. DRFT DRIFT! yes DRIFT, drift like a "drift boat" I know.... Really confusing. Well low and behold the questions began and few funny jokes are cracked every time someone asked. D.R.F.T.? - "Doin-right-for-transport"! DR-FT- Doctor FIT hah. You get it. He stuck with the name since 2011. Things started to get serious. He landed his first long haul from RI to OR. a Boston whaler on a trailer! This was the one. Casey told himself if he got this job he would run across the country chasing the dream of freedom. Working for yourself, making the big bucks. He quit his graveyard job, and the rest is history. "I have always loved the water and being around marinas, sunshine and nice people. it makes me happy." says Casey. Boat moving Equipment and insurance is very expensive and the skill it takes; learned over many years..it requires lots of talent and investment. "I've taken everything I excel at and put them into one package." -Casey. Now fast forward 13 years. The business is now under new ownership. Sill Casey of course just a new name DRIFT COMPANY BOAT HAULING L.L.C. "The lovely thing I didn't intend is insurance to go up when you put (boat) in your name." -Casey.

Casey runs a tight ship. He prefers for the trailer's to be loaded in both directions. If your easy going and willing to help with flexible schedules we can provide a 30% discount with a combined shipment. The quote will always be with this in mind. If we need to do rush shipments, we can handle this. Just beware the cost of fuel driving empty isn't cheap in a semi-truck and each states charges us per mile the truck contacts the road empty or loaded.   

Stationed in Astoria, OR. After living in the Portland, OR. area for over 30 years it was time to spread our wings and move to a place where the boats float while on the hard. We have storage in Portland and Longview, WA for making storage needs accessible between hauls. Believe it or not just because were located in Astoria. Doesn't mean you can't get a good deal on shipping from California, Florida, or Seattle Even Rode Island! We travel for a living that's just the nature of the business.
