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

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

Horseless Carriage Carriers
Not the cheapest but good. Saw Reliable Trailer there the other day laying over.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
