Moving to Texas
Hi all. Moving from California to Texas. Want to ship C7 in the safest way. Am considering United Routes Transport company. They would ship the car in an enclosed truck...nobody on top. Sides open so they can enter and exit the car without damaging. Does anyone have any experience with this company? Are there other companies you would recommend? Thanks

I just used Inter City to move a 2014 C7 from PA to MI and was very happy with them.
Car arrived spotless in the enclosed trailer. It was a dual level and mine sat on the top.
They also shipped an extra set of wheels and tires and a box of brake rotors and pads.

Driving would be the best but be warned, get rid of the California plates fast. When I moved to Texas with my Vette, I lost count of the number of times I was run off the road by some big pickup truck with the requisite gun rack. Mentioned the way people drive at work and the number close encounters I had. I received the following response, "Remove the California tags". Took their advice a week later and as predicted the problem went away. Lived there for 2 years without the incidents recurring. Thankfully my time was temporary and got back to California. I truly find driving the twisting mountain roads and scenic vistas of the Pacific over the flat ranch land of Texas.
And California tags causing problems? No, we Texans are terrible drivers - as one poster said above, "where speed limits are just suggestions." And to that I'd add - and lane discipline almost non-existent.
