Try u-ship, you specify what you want and you get multiple quotes. You can look up information on them and read reviews.

I had good luck with Reliable Transport. My only issue is they delivered the car the only day I told them I was not available before noon. The driver made better time than anticipated and showed up at 10 am. He waited 3 hours for me to leave work and arrive home. He was a little put out but helped push the car on its 2 flat, dry rotted tires up on my trailer for the ~1 mile ride up the mountian to my garage. Cost for the 650 mile trip was $950 with my Hagerty discount.

That would be me ....

On the AA since 2011 ...

Here on Ford Barn since 2010 ...

On the HAMB since 2008 ...

Safe enclosed insured transport year round ...

Last year I moved over 2 million dollars worth of cargo,
all of it was insured - none of it was damaged ....

Jim- Trulyvintage- is tops in my book! He hauled my fordor in 2011 from GA to Md, was very reasonable, completely handled a somewhat strange pickup at a different location than I was given, gave road updates, and just provided an all around great service. If ever in need of transport again he is the first I would contact!

Wayne,

Currently I charge $1.00 to $1.25 a loaded mile for direct enclosed transport.

Bill has that right about the bad guys. I've used him as well as Rick Powell. You can trust either one and if they can't help you right away they will give you the names and phone numbers of the others who might. I have used the big time commercial guys as well and would never trust them to give me the personalized careful service these guys have. I can't speak for the other haulers on the HAMB or Barn but these two are as good as it gets and will give you an honest opinion on the best way to go if they can't meet your needs. They are always my first call.

That is a very reasonable rate and certainly less than my last quote. I will be in touch! Wayne

Just checked with Passport Transport and they are around $1.00 to $1.10 per mile for Minnesota to Massachusetts.

Thanks Marc. Was that for direct or was it part of a load? My recent quotes were both $1.10 for part of a larger load or $1.35 for single vehicle direct load with no pickups or delivery in between . Wayne

Pinelake,

The price is part of a group and is enclosed.

I have used them two times with excellent results.

I recently used TRULYVINTAGE to ship my brother's vette to Florida. TOP NOTCH in every way, great feedback by him also. Brother was VERY happy.

Had my 55 Chevy moved from Pa to Ca by Reliable, not the cheapest but with their reputation and hauling a lot of Barrett Jackson cars both in and out of the auction I took a chance. I also would NEVER ship a car I cared about in an open trailer, I own one but chose to move it in a closed trailer. Too much chance of damage from weather and flying objects.
I am sure you would get a cheaper price with a since or double enclosed trailer, with an indepent contractor... if you can verify their business situation and get some customer input. I can tell you about missed pick ups (by months) and damaged cars by independents with LOW prices.
Bill, no disrespect nor am I "voting" against you as a business owner/ car mover. I am just telling my story.

It's been almost 6 months since he asked so I hope he got his answer by now.

Well put ...

I used to transport with an open trailer until about (4) years ago.

I switched to an enclosed trailer - I will never go back.

It costs more money to pull an enclosed trailer because you are pulling
more weight - a half ton or three quarter ton gas truck is not going
to hold up over time ...

I always have towed with an F350 Diesel Dually powered by a 7.3 Diesel.

The roads in this country continue to deteriorate every day,
the weather becomes increasingly volatile every year,
it is not uncommon to see damaging hail in some parts year round.

Often - the damage incurred with open transport is not readily apparent.

It can show up much later after a car has been dropped off,
then it usually is attributed to the Seller being dishonest.

Bills Auto Works is the person to use. Good price, CLEAN, keeps you up to date and on time. Bill that is a photo of my 28 roadster your are loading in the photo. Love that car. I am working on another in Michigan, will know today.

[Bill's Auto Works]

Thank you Klawockvet, Tim & others. Look forward to hearing from you Tim

Jax55 no offense taken Reliable is a well respected carrier. When I take a car to Barrett-Jackson, they are well represented. Heck, I don't even take offense to vailed jabs at me from another, because I know it is done out of jealousy for my business success, my relationship with my customers & my quality equipment. I will stop there because Ryan does not like drama on the site.
Just make sure whomever you choose get their full name & do an internet search of them before you commit.
