I went through a consolidator, Bluestar Auto Movers (954) 717-9884 . I had used them before with excellent results. They basically find and match up approved shippers with you/your route. The folks that actually did the move was Rayon Trucking Corp (915) 235-2234 or (915) 217-7349. They did a good job, were very careful, and the driver even asked if he could get a photo with his young son (who was out on summer vacation)and my 911 when they unloaded it.

I went back and looked at the moving receipts and it was actually $850 each. I paid the consolidator, Blue Star, $150 each up front and the Truck driver $700 each COD when the cars arrived. Albuquerque NM to just outside Wash D.C. Money well spent. I believe you could save money going direct to the shipper, but they timing may not be as flexible.

I personally towed (in an open trailer), my favorite car on 4th of July week end. Big mistake. Hottest on record in many places...and well over 100 most of the way. Had 5 flat tires on the way (Yep, even the spare) and stopped at every open tire store on the way...most were out of the tire I needed because everyone was having the same problem...and somehow the fuel line picked that time to break on the towed car and emptied a full tank on the way Miserable trip.
