So far, so good - they all ran great the entire way. Our trucks are GOOD trucks. But, if you aren't knowledgeable/prepared to deal with the many potentials, or do not like new adventures in old trucks, shipping may bring you comfort.

Wow all those heavy duty trucks and no problems. I can do most small things on a vehicle so I'm noy woorried about that but blowing the trans or motor is a concern.
Chatting with my wife this afternoon she is up for flying down and driving it home and she has no mechanical knowledge at all.
