I need to move a 72 Coupe from Walnut Creek CA to Jacksonville FL - can anyone recommend a good transport company?

i moved my Corvette from Monterey Ca to Phoenix using A and A Car Transport. they were competitive and nice to deal with. they are basically a broker and I believe they are based out of Geogia.

I used Reliable Carriers to transport my 1980 from Kansas City to St. Louis.

I didn't book it but the new owner of my 68 C10. He booked Reliable. They were great. The new owner gave me the phone number of the driver. But before I could call the driver he called me. He said he was a couple days out and that was fine. He contacted me 24 hours out and asked about some where he could park over night near me. I gave him a couple of places.
We agreed for a 9 AM pick up. He called me the night before and said can we move it up to 8 AM. I said no problem. Of course it snowed that night. I turned over the truck to the driver and wheeled it right in.
Super smooth.

Thanks all, a classic car dealer in the sellers area recommended a hauler he has used and I was able to arrange to have the car shipped. Should be leaving today and I expect to receive it late next week!

Contact Cathie Tilley, C-T Hwy61 LLC - cthwy61@gmail.com 559-905-5664 - she is the broker that arranged for the transport. She was super nice, professional and on it!.

The specific carrier she used was Global Cargo Logistics, the driver was Stepan. He took great care in loading the car with lots of pictures and let me know when he was on the way. Then contacted me about a day out to let me know when to expect him.

Overall a great experience and her price beat all the major carriers and was the second lowest of the brokers I shopped around. I chose her as I didn't "feel" as comfortable with the one broker that came in cheaper and she was recommended to me.

YMMV
