most sub out transport and frankly the same drivers will pick up for all that do... I do know Reliable only uses their own trucks/drivers

I’ve used Passport Transport. Reasonably priced and been around forever. Had them bring my 67’ Coupe from MI. to California in 2022. $2750 enclosed. Probably more now.

Thanks for your input - Pappy

I used Intercity Lines from NH to WA and was very satisfied. Yeah, the big lines do try to fill the trailers so it may not work for your time schedule. If the timing is compatible, it might work out in conjunction with car shows held in Vegas, CA or AZ...

The way I understand it, most of the transport business, posts jobs to a "bulletin board" and drivers bid on the job. I suggest you call Michael Bryant with B&E auto transport 606 516 1770. Great guy, I used him a couple of times, others here have also used him many times, all with great success. Hope this helps.

I was only transporting from Kansas City to St. Louis, so pick up to drop off only took a couple of days. Funny, the truck was empty except for my car. The driver took great care unloading the car, I didn’t see it getting loaded. I don’t recall how much it cost, I can’t find the receipt but I was happy with the service.

Thanks for the get-back. Seems like Reliable is very professional and as their name suggests "Reliable." By the way - a beautiful vette - 1980? Strong in FAITH - pappy

I've used Intercity 3 times and was extremely satisfied all 3X. They may not be the least expensive (compared to brokers) but, as my parents taught me, 'when you pay for quality you only wince once'.

I used Montway Auto transport and was very happy with the service.

It was a 600 mile trip within Texas.
