I used Autobahn Transportation Services to get my chassis from Chicago to California. Its nice because they use enclosed vehicle carriers.

I used FedEx transport in April, and was very happy with the service. Connecticut to Illinois in record time, very professional, good rate. Go online for a rate quote.

I've used many but for the pure ease, reliability and convenience, (ie$$) go with FedEx/Passport.

I used FedEx to bring my 64 coupe from NJ to Austin TX. The price was better than most for covered transport and the service was excellent. They do contract out and I know some of the more expensive carriers do not. Something to consider.
