COVID-19 has made everything more difficult.

I am trying to bring a car across country 3200 miles west to east. For a variety of reasons my usual transporter of choice is not available. I do have the opportunity to have the car transported on one of those large multicar enclosed trailers. The estimate is that it will take twelve to fourteen days for the trip. The broker who is arranging the move, has received good reviews from a customer that used his services for a local transport, but not for long distance transports where the broker was not also the driver of the truck. The broker has been doing transports for 45 years, mostly very high end cars and so does not want to give a reference for this type of service. He says he does not want to bother his clients, by having someone call them.

I feel the broker is reputable, although I have very little evidence to form this opinion. The question is should I be concerned that the car will be on this trailer for two weeks?
