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....

try uship.com U-Ship is the wild west of car shipping, do it with extreme caution. I've never used them but here are two stories of cars that were picked up at my place via U-Ship. The first one the guy saved $100 over my carrier, the "driver" showed up in a converted motor home full of furniture, he unloaded, load the car, and then piled all the furniture on top of the car. Second one was the driver shipped ATV's, so he loaded the Porsche but said it would have to go on and off about 6-7 times to load an unload ATV's. Don't do U-Ship, not if you care about the car.
