Best( cheapest ) shipping companies
Just bought a 69 roadster, and I need to get it shipped across the states, looking for suggestions for the most economical way to get it from Missouri to Washington state. I know reliable is the best , but they are way too expensive.

I've used 007 Auto Transport several times. 307 460-4567
Independent truckers use Quote boards to find loads. For example, when you call 007 they will ask you how much you want to spend and how quic you expect to get it picked up. If you want it fast, you'll have to pay more. If you don't care if it takes a week or longer you can offer less.
Since truckers carry multiple cars, if you are close to a major interstate you'll get more interest. You'll also pay less for open transport than for enclosed trailers.

I recently used Shiplux with my '70 from Missouri to Texas with a fair price and great service.

Sleeping in the car a week in Boise Idaho. Then riding in it on top of a U-ship portable parking lot is not the best first week of car ownership...
