Shipping Question

What is the best way to ship a Range Rover from Southwest Florida to Northern California? It can ship on an open carrier.

Thanks.

We had a customer use https://www.montway.com and they were very happy with the service.

Ive used them three times and they were good, not the best at communication but they were fast and reasonably priced. If you choose the insurance option the driver will take extra steps to make sure nothing happens to the vehicle. They’re a dispatcher so it’s not their drivers.

Montway is just a broker. They use central dispatch and likely just go wit the cheapest bid.

I've had success with using a friends central dispatch account, I usually go enclosed and ask for photos of the rig to make sure its hard side. Another thing, is make sure the company you are going with has been in business a while and has good ratings.

It's very difficult to find an owner/operator.

Brokers have taken over. They'll get their fee upfront and commit to a price and only then put the trip up for bids. So you can end up with a rando as a driver (Russians have taken over most transport routes in the US.)
