Tried this in a few sections with no dice.
2 places Ive used before and 1 other just dont return calls, know some of you use these when buying/selling.

Found a car in Bethlehem PA need it taken to Hemet Ca. Open transport is fine .
Anyone youve had good luck with? 88 Just went to Belgium want another .

 

I've shipped a couple of cars across country in the past. The thing I've learned is that unless you want to specify a top tier carrier, you will use a broker that gives the job to a qualified, low bidder. Not a bad thing because the good brokers will know the "acceptable" carriers. Don't expect next day delivery because these carriers are jumping around the country trying to maximize full loads.
Both of my experiences were good and went without a hitch.

 

I used Reliable Carriers. Florida to Nevada. Great experience, but I believe they are closed trailers only.

 

Just had my 67 transported from Illinois to Louisiana by Reliable. Had to wait about a week for the move, but they are very
carful and the driver took special care when loading and unloading it. They also inspect the car
fully and inspect it again with you at delivery.

Another +1 for Reliable. You might find cheaper but unlikely to find better. Just had my C3 shipped my them from MI to FL and the price was decent. You can try out the online form to get a quote.

 

I used Uship several years ago to move a tractor from MI to AL and a 350 bolck from NJ to AL. Just list what you need moved and carriers bid on it. Both movements were by Hot Shot private individual types people. Worked for me.

FWIW, I used Reliable to move 3 cars from southeast Michigan to my new home in the Charlotte NC area. They did a great job. Moving 3 cars did get me a break on price vs moving only one car. I got more of a break by taking the cars to the Reliable depot instead of having them pick up at my house. Being only 30 minutes away, I decided to deliver them myself.

The only thing that scared me was watching them unload my cars from the top level in the trailer. The driver backed each car out, one at a time, of course, onto the elevator platform. No chocks on the platform to prevent him from backing off and falling ten feet to the ground. Driver knew what he was doing but I didn’t want to look.

Recently, I bought another car at the Mecum auction in Kissimmee. Mecum quoted me a significantly lower cost than Reliable, who was on site. I went with Mecum and their service was top notch too. Mecum actually subbed the move out to a local transporter. I don’t know if Mecum moves cars for private owners or not but might be worth a call. Heck, they’re moving all over anyway, so they likely have space on their trailers at some point.

Hope this helps

I used this one guy that drives an Audi S8. He wont look in the package, he just drives. His rates are high but hes very discreet.......

 

I think I know that dude

 

Yep thats him....good guy, funny accent thou

 

I just went through this two weeks ago. It was HELL!!
I tried calling Reliable first, then second, then third........never returned my calls
I was new to this and I was educated in a hurry. Unless you pay top price with a transporter who does not go through a broker, you'll be rolling the dice.
I started with Reliable which never returned my calls
I then called SGT transport, who is a broker. They subcontracted KBT transport. Long story short, two days in a row they left the person waiting for them hanging and they never showed up. I cancelled them and actually received a refund.
I then called Montway Transport. Another broker. They subcontracted Luxcar Transport. Long story short. The same person that contacted the person with the car while KBT was hired, contacted him while Luxcar was hired.
They eventually showed up, after requesting an additional $50.00 for being out of their way.
The following day after the car was picked up, I was contacted at 9:15 AM and told that he would be at my house within one hour. At 3:20 PM, Five hours after he was supposed to arrive, he showed up. The car arrived with damage to the front end and it was touched up with paint that was supplied by the seller incase I ever needed it. I nearly killed this Mo$%$FUc%$#.
I had also contacted another person that was referred in this forum and he declined. I contacted Horseless Carriage. Their price was twice as much as I paid but they said firmly. This is the price and we will be there tomorrow. Wish I would have gone with them. I'am sharing this so maybe others like myself, that have not done this before, will learn like I did.

I have used smaller independent haulers with varied success. I shipped three cars out, and two cars in, all with good success.
I live close to Bethlehem and I hear good things about Horseless Carraige although they are expensive but have heard no claims or complaints about them so that has to be worth something.
Good luck with your search.

Going to leave my name on Uships list.

Since Istarted this thread only 1 co has responded, Reliable

$2400 open transport. Holy...

 

All the above is why I have a pickup and U-Haul rents car haulers. I just did this a few weeks ago. Did an out and back from Huntsville AL to Tulsa OK in 32 hrs total cost was about $600 for fuel, hotel and U-Haul.

 

I recently sold my 68 C10 and the buyer made all arrangements with Reliable. It went very well. Driver contacted me when he was 24 out. Then 8 hours out. We met at a local parking lot. Driver took over from there. Super smooth operation.

 

BEWARE!
Uship is like a sub-broker to brokers. When you look at a car on ebay and you check to see how much it would cost to ship through uship, you'll get several quotes from different places. These places( brokers) put your travel in an auction type of site and wait for the lowest bidder. Be thankful that Reliable got back to you!! They never returned my calls. I had the same guy that stood up the guy I bought the car from, from SGT Transport, respond to him under Montway. Long story short. My car arrived damaged!! Wished I had the time to go get it myself.

 

I just used uship to ship my wife’s 2017 MB AMG from Atlanta to NY in December and my 2019 Porsche Cayenne S from Atlanta to San Antonio last week. Both were 5 star experiences. Your mileage may vary.

 

Just curious. What company actually picked up your cars?
