I am in need of moving my Z across country and would like some recommendations or opinions on transport companies. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I've had reasonably good experiences with Reliable. Car shows up generally on time, well cared for, and no damage. That's my baseline expectation and they've always met it. Longest I've shipped is from a Mecum auction in Floria to Seattle, and the car made it.

If you don't get the driver's phone number they don't have much for tracking, but otherwise, I'd recommend them.

I used Montway and they sourced an independent carrier. It was an enclosed transporter but not as nice as Reliable or Intercity transporter. It did a job and nothing to complain. $1450 for ATL to Norcal. About $600-700 cheaper than big name carriers.

I'll give another vote for Reliable. I've used them 3 times and each time has been flawless.

X3 on Reliable, 100% from on time pick up in Utah to delivery in NY, met all my expectations and then some, showing up for delivery a day earlier than the actual promised date

Another vote for Intercity. Most of the exotic cars guys recommend them. Here's mine coming off the truck. The owner called after delivery to check on the transport and be certain I was satisfied!

I used Plycar from the Corvette Museum to the west coast. They did a great job.
