Can anyone give some help and advice about getting a 1939 Ford Pickup shipped from Calif. to east Tn.? Who to use and what to expect in the way of cost? Also, maybe anyone to avoid. What are the pitfalls and any advice is appreciated.

Randy, If it is a show car, consider the extra cost for an enclosed transport. A driver can absorb some road rash, but not a show car. Even a driver, however, can show up at the destination minus a few hard to find parts, as the guy transporting will have to make a couple motel stops.

I went online and did the shipping broker thing to haul my pickup from MT to VA. They quoted me a price that included their flat fee and the remainder to any nationwide drivers in their system. Two weeks passed with no apparent interest. The broker asked me what I wanted to do. I said "bump it up $200". Within two days they got a hit for a driver to haul.
I had good luck because my pickup never left the hauler's trailer from pick-up to delivery. My fear was it was going to be tag-teamed and left unsecured for a time before the next relay driver picked it up. I know, these things we think of when our babies are out of our hands. Most may disagree, but my broker experience was pretty good. The driver couldn't count the offers he was made for my pickup while he was fueling up. |

Since 2010 on the Ford Barn. Before Ryan bought it - I ran a box ad at the top of Ford Barn & Chevy Barn for years. Since 2008 on The HAMB & an Alliance Member every year. I offer direct enclosed transport year round. Can't help w/ California - closest I will be is Las Vegas, NV where I am dropping off a 67' Camaro in a few weeks.
