I wouldn't recommend DAS. Last time I used them for a cross-country move, they lost my car for 4 weeks. It miraculously got found (and delivered) when I told them I would file a stolen car claim if they couldn't tell me where it was.

Really depends on what it is.
I have used UShip. It was pretty sketchy - so I think you’re on your own. I bought a really nice 996 C4S last year. Mint and low miles. Used Intercity Lines. They are top notch, and when I shopped around - they were competitive. Insured for waaayyyy more than my car was worth. Driver just took a bunch of Gullwings and dropped them off before mine came. They are very picky and give a good condition report and cover your car up. |

Uship is private owners bidding for the cheapest rates, with sketchy equipment, and questionable licenses, and insurance. I would pay the extra money for "Reliable" or "Intercity", or some other dedicated, enclosed, insured carrier.

Isn't it Reliable that always advertises on the Classic Cars show with Wayne Carini?

Bought a Toy. MR2 recently from a Battle Creek, MI dealer. They paid $700 to ship it to Scottsdale, AZ. in an open transporter. No issues. They called frequently with updates.

I've used White Lightning for a few years without a hitch. Dan White is a broker and uses well vetted truckers with the proper insurance, etc.

I've used J & S Transportation in the past and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. They use their own trucks and contractors and are not brokers.
I'd once got hold of a broker by mistake, was added to some kind of list and continued getting calls about shipping my car for months after the car had already been delivered...by J & S. https://www.jandstransport.com/

Dennis, I used a guy with his own enclosed rig from Mass. He hauled my non-running 71 440 Charger from Albuquerque to Rochester , NY for 1100 bucks. If you want when I get home I can PM his info. He was excellent with his updates and his delivery was within 1/2 hour of scheduled time.

Also interested if anyone has a recommendation for a shipper on the east coast. Reliable doesn’t cover the route and Intercity said it would be tough to schedule. AL to CT
Thanks Rob |
