Tough one.

The big national chains will cover pretty much anywhere to anywhere.

The cheaper independents will generally have a route that they run, NY to Dallas, FL to North East and don't really deviate from it.

The smaller guys you'll find easiest via a broker but that comes at a price, both in the broker commission and also possible service issues.

The service issues run the gamut of are they point to point or do they employ the FedEx model.

FedEx model is where they don't care about the ultimate destination, they pick up in their "home" area and drop cars at a central distribution point and pick up whatever load is going back to their area. Obvious issues with that is cars go on and come off multiple trailers, (which is when damage is likely to occur) or the car can sit for days/weeks waiting for a load to it's final destination.

Brokers can have a good rep but that does not necc translate to the people providing the end service so it can be a crapshoot.

Just make sure you get the drivers cell phone number.
