This is the first time that I've ever done a transport across the country... I think I need some help
You say across the country..........just how far are you talking about? Most of our pilots fly single-engine planes, and are therefore limited to 250 nautical miles
(200 ground miles). While a trip can be done in several legs with 2 or 3 pilots, longer transports are very difficult to pull together. You need the pilots to all be free the same day, weather to cooperate and possibly an overnight foster.
Keeping this in mind, here is how you make a request:

5. Scroll down and click on Submit, your request is now posted.
