You will get many opinions on this one.

I used Reliable to transport a car five years ago. Things may have changed. They kept me informed on the location of the vehicle along the way. The driver was extremely careful unloading the vehicle as well. Fairly priced imo.

Thank you. Right now Reliable has a 6-8 week wait.

I just used Plycar last week. And I have used them many times in the past. They are top notch. Trucks and Drivers are excellent. Any questions their front office is always able to help.

put up a add enclosed only and NO brokers!!!! wait for someone booking up a back haul and you can get some good providers and a very reasonable cost.

We've used Thomas Sunday Transport. If they are good enough for multi million dollar Corvettes from Corvette Repair Inc (Kevin MacKay) they are good enough for me. We've shipped many Corvettes through them with no issues.

I used FedEx Custom Critical way back when. Rates were competitive.

I used plycar last summer MN to TX. Great experience. Was the cheapest of the good enclosed companies. Whatever you do, don’t use a broker. Too many horror stories. Pay the extra $750 and have peace of mind.

I used Reliable. I agree with you about the broker thing; complete nightmare there.
