Need to ship a nice car halfway across the country. Wish I could go pick it up, but that's not feasible. I've been researching auto shippers on-line and it is a quagmire of shady operators. I'd love to deal directly with a carrier rather than a broker, if at all possible. Anybody have any solid recommendations for covered transport? I made the mistake of requesting an on-line quote from one company and clearly they sold the lead and I've been cold called and texted incessantly for the past few hours. Had to put my phone on vibrate....

I used InterCity twice. Flawless both times. Not cheap but it's one "company". Company-owned trucks, company paid drivers who are employees, etc. The proverbial "one throat to choke" should anything unexpected happen.

Not cheap, but not too far off other quotes. A recommendation from somebody who has used them before also carries weight. Thanks! |
