Default shiipping help

Trying to get fast pickup of car going from Milan Indiana to San Antonio and another back to Indiana, anyone know of any shippers who respond really quick? normal shippers take 14 days or more. should be some custom shippers out there. I know that it will be pricey but need to get it done as soon as possible. Any help will be greatly appreciated thanks Paul

Sorry, I don't have any specific company recommendation for you. But, the best shippers might well be the busiest shippers. You might consider who BARRETT-JACKSON uses or similar venues. Check their website for recommended shippers.
I sold a beautiful frame off modified '55 Chevrolet a few years ago to a buyer in CA. He chose the shipping company...basically, a dualie truck with a three axle trailer. The driver arrived a day later than scheduled...understandable when he was by himself and zigzagging across country to make as much money as possible.
When I saw how the operator treated the car, I got sick. I videotaped the car before the company got there and videotaped the loading of the car. Luckily, it got there safely.
Weather/time permitting might allow for a great road trip...
