I used "Horseless Carriage" about 2 months ago to get a car from the port in NJ to Denver. It was around 1200 in an enclosed rig with insurance. They did a great job. Used "Inner City Lines" two years ago and they were good too. Similar price.
The hard part with each was getting it sheduled. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Check the schedule in Laguna Seca and Monterey. When they have big events, many trucks come from the East Coast. Sometimes you can get a deal by filling a truck with an empty space.

I have used http://www.passporttransport.com/ a couple times. Ask for JB. Good yes, cheap not really. But all the carriers seem equally priced.

Backwoods trucking.. I have shipped 40 Porsches with him this year alone.. These have been transported to every part of the country. He just transported a 996 back to California for us and has a Boxster on the truck coming to us from Texas at the present.
Joshua Groce is the owner.. He is a very respectful country boy that has never failed to meet our expectations as well as my customers, which says a lot. His prices are awesome as well. Here's a truck of Josh's with 3 blown up M96 powered cars being unloaded at our facility.. Texas, California and Ohio... Josh is in Waco Texas right now, building a load heading our way, then he'll be heading back to Cali.  This post has been edited by Jake Raby: Sep 14 2011, 07:14 PM |

Thanks all for sharing your resources.
Also a good thought on planning a move during a large event. Never thought of that... |

He brought my car from NC to NH, and as Jake said is respectful, responsible, communicates well and charges a fair rate (considering what fuel costs today). I also liked dealing directly with the driver/owner instead of paying a middle man to basically do nothing but take a cut. He also gives you one of his "Backwoods Trucking" hats - how can it get better than that? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
