Car Haulers

I am brining my 911 to Minnesota, it’s been in storage back home since I got here. Can anyone recommend an auto transport outfit that you have done business with in the past?

Where is it coming from? Does it run? Roll? Engine in it?

I've used Intercity Lines several times and they were great.

I've used Intercity, FedEx, Horseless Carriage....all good. But call Bill at DeMoise. The same excellent service as Intercity for a lot less money. Door to door service.
I won't use anyone else now.

I've used most of them over the years.

I only use Intercity now. They are family owned, with their own trucks (they are not a broker, never use a broker), you can always get a hold of them, and they have always overperformed for me.

Demoise - for the blue car - I used leap trucking 214-882-4653. It was an open transport - but quick and reliable.

I might do this. It gets hot on long drives because the oil cooler is not installed yet though.

Horseless took good care of me with the Benz.

Also used to use a smaller guy with an open truck but he only does NE tri state to TX runs.

6 hours, I'd drive it.

Intercity and Passport/Fedex always treat me right. Horseless Carriage damaged one of my cars and screwed me on the insurance.

However...

For a 6 hour trip, I'd spend the money on a cooler installation instead, and just drive it. Or, pick a cold-ish week and just drive it as-is.

That should be a really easy drive...go before (like it's supposed to some day) it gets warm. All the roads should be bone dry.

Call Eric Lomen at Lomen auto transport in St Paul. Tell him I referred you. 651.698.5280

They own their own trucks and they run MSP/Colorado every two weeks.
