Good Transport Company?

I have never shipped a car before but I am looking at needing a 37 Ford Pickup Shipped from KS to TX.

What companies would you recommend?

Any bad experiences or tips?

Bored have a truck and trailer? I will pay you to pick up and drop off the truck

Thanks for all the info.

I've used Passport Transport twice - very good. I was burned by doing an internet seacrh and picking the cheapest "shipper" who turned out to be a broker who tried to find space on a trailer ... maybe... I had to have VISA get my money back when they failed to show up on time.

 

I did research on several and finally decided to rent a trailer and go get it. Thats my recommendation if you can make it happen.

 

Sent a pm to Ben D, passport only has enclosed and that is a little overkill for the rust bucket I am going after. Anyone ever used Express Auto Transport? They are a broker, but my dads friend used them no problem. I guess we will see.

 

If benD can't get it, PM unclescooby, he had a guy that hauled a couple cars for me a couple years back can't remember the name of the business though.

I had Marcy drag my 30 Sedan back from Chicago. Excellent service. I would def. use her again.

 

Some of these transporters won't haul a non running car. I had that trouble trying to ship an Elkie to Kentucky a couple of years ago.

 

I'm in. Thanks Gasserfreak!

 

Thank's Chris.

Let me know if BenD can't get it.


Hey Drew---I've hauled for you also...haha



Marcy

 

I didn't know You were hauling stuff now, back then (2004 and 5) it was just too and from shows and in between, sorry Marcy, your the coolest, BTW didn't see you at GNRS this year, what gives? My kids grew out of the shirts we bought last year. PM me and let me know the next show your doing in so-cal.

BenD is the MAN,..... had him help me before and it was PERFECTION

 

Marcy got the tuck to the shop, It was wonderful dealing with her and I would highly recomend anyone looking to ship something stay away from the big firms and give her a call. She was very easy to deal with and gave me a great price.

Thanks Marcy!

 

how about the west coast--trying to get a car from Sac to LA and the brokers are giving a friend a big time runaround--supposed to ahve been to pick up the card for 5-6 days now-it's a running, drivable car.
what a mess

 

I used Uship.com it works on an ebay style method where shipper bid or make offers to haul your stuff. I found it a little slow to get hooked up with a shipper but I got a good guy looking for a back load which worked for both of us.
Cost was a little under the expected so that was good also.

Seems if you put the effort in on this site you can do OK.

 

I had hoghaulers ship my woodie. the guy was great.. (better prices and mine did not run, only roll

 

BenD........

 

Anyone know someone hauling from Kansas to Las Vegas?

I MAY have a model A body.
