Transporter Needed!

I am in need of a transporter to move a car from Enid, OK to Denver, CO. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Don't use DAS, you won't get what you pay for and it will arrive late, I paid for enclosed shipping and did not get it and they would not honor the damage that was done to the truck I had shipped.
I know this is not what you were looking for but DAS are crooks, there has to be better people than them out there.

I did use DAS and found their services to be OK.
My 86 cab went from the North-East to California in about 2 weeks, and because it was a cab it had to be top loaded (so no oil leaks from vehicles above would fall on the soft top) and they tacked on an extra $90.00 for that. The total cost was $900.00 delivered to my door.
There was no damage to the car upon arrival.

Come on guys. One for and one against DAS, thats it? I was hoping for a little more input. I am trying to get my son's car to Denver while he spends 3 years in Alaska with the Air Force.

I've had luck with this brokerage. They put it on a transport board and the independent trucker does the actual haul. Used them many times.

I have an aluminum trailer I could loan/rent you (cheap!) if you have a tow vehicle. Let me know.

Thankyou gentlemen. I will check out the services. Bill that's a terrific offer. I'm hoping I don't need to take advantage of it but if I do I will email you.

DAS sucks. I sold a classic 1950 Plymouth Savoy Surf Wagon and it fell off the top level of the truck less than a mile from my house. They tried to tell the guy it was only worth 1/4 of what he paid even though it was mint with 55k original miles.
