Car Shipping
Can anyone recommend a company to ship a car from the east coast to the west coast? Looking to ship a stocker.
Thanks, John |

Re: Car Shipping
I use Reliable. They have been good, and if you let them schedule it, it's not expensive.

Re: Car Shipping
I had 2 trailers that i bought this year shipped up to N.J. from Georgia & N.C.
and i used uship.com People will give you bids & you can see their reviews & ratings from other people that used that particular mover. Normally they charge $1.40- $1.60 per mile, but naturally everybody is different. Good Luck.

Re: Car Shipping
Call Fedex, they have a car shipping company that will tell you the hour the car will arrive at your location. Used them three times and they were never late.

Re: Car Shipping
Enclosed or Open? Wish I had room, leaving for coast today with '53 air van! I do send a lot on open carrier to western states! More economical than those specialty auto haulers. Stocker? Maybe you would be OK with open carrier? If you want it handled, call my office 800-924-9099 or me direct 610-306-1801.

Re: Car Shipping
Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
It is a really nice car, so I would prefer enclosed. Still looking at my options. I am worried about most of the business is dominated by brokers. At first glance, it seems the accountability would be passed to the next guy if something goes wrong. I would think that you would get more accountability from a company that own and operates their own trucks, but I have never done this before so I could be wrong. Quote:

Re: Car Shipping
I used U ship.com they have a auction to bid on your haul....you get to check them out, pick the carrier that you are comfortable with. I did'nt choose the cheapest, I choose the guy with the right equipment, insurance, and price. Tom Nolan
