Just bought a truck in Ca. Need it shipped to Fl. Any advise / recommendations, on who to use, or NOT use?
I've shipped with and had the customer ship with Fed Ex with no problems. Got my gennie deuce roadster from CA a couple of months ago thru Fed Ex. I shipped one of my deuce pkg cars with Reliable on new years day and 4 days later the customer had it in LA. Not bad, Central NEBR. to the West coast in 4 days. That ride was 1350.00. Just sent my black deuce roadster with Fed Ex to CA. also with no problems.
I use www.Uship.com shippers bid on shipping your car you pick the offer you like and they have feedback you can read and ratings, I have shipped 5 cars across country and all have been great
DO NOT USE ebay as a source for shipping. I had a car transported from FL to Ca and the driver was quick to ask me, "why did you not call us direct?" Give me a day to dig up the invoice. Save you a few hundred bucks. -D
Kool. Itchy-Pit, you can PM me that info if you come up with it. I need to get the ball rolling and get it on down the road asap. Thanks guys
I've used Teeter Transport a few times and had good luck and referred them to quite few others who also had good reports. Tell Jerry that Adam Bateman sent you. http://www.omahatransport.com/ 402-933-3618 Of course there is BenD, trulyvintage, Marcy and others right here on the HAMB too!
Use someone who truly appreciates classic cars to deliver your hard earned purchase instead of rolling the dice! Several listed in the the H.A.M.B. O'Dex
I've hitch hiked to buy vehicles and drive them back before. Although probably not all that relevant for your situation! That's some distance!
Rick (Racinman - see vendors forum) is in Carolina and goes to Cali all the time. Highly recommended.
I transport ........ @ http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=265570&highlight=transport Jim
When I drove truck, I hauled morre than a few cars, mixed in with general feright from Toronto Canada down to Miami for eventual transhipment to the Carribean. If you can arrainge for a place with a loading dock at both at both ends of the trip, you can save guite a few bucks by having it shipped by a general freight hauler, rather than an dedicated auto haulage company. If that might work for you, look in the phone book or check online for some freight haulers for a quote. Mart3406 =========================================
Jim from Trulyvintage is going the extra mile(pun intended) to get a crosscountry haul done for me. Great service, fair prices!
I have one on the way as we speak. Great experience in the past, plus Leno must know SOMETHING. http://www.intercitylines.com/
on average whats the price to ship a model A ( sayin the car for weight and size purposes) cross country. New jersey to Orange county CA rough estimate from what any of you have ever paid i was planning to make the drive myself and make it a road trip vacation but lookin at gas costs it may end up costign quite a bit
