I need the names of some people to use to ship my truck, if someone far off buys it. Anyone have any good experiences that they want to share.

We have shipped a fair share. I will see what I can dig up from our files. Have not done it in a while. Just for advice if using a multi car hauler and its nice ask to keep it on the top so other cars don't drip on it. Really bad if a convertible. If its really valuable I would use an enclosed.
I have used U-Ship where they bid on shipping and have had real good luck with them

The guys we used I don't think are in business any more.

One other note is make sure its goes all the way with the same truck and not sit in a lot somewhere.
We used a company in Iowa and I will try and find it for you. great service

One of my customers shipped a car from Ca to Fl. If you google car transport companies, and request a quote, I bet you will have 10 before you can blink your eye. They will ask if you want an enclosed or open trailer, Most haulers like to deliver to a business, or large public parking lot. The street rod shipped from CA, was delivered to the KMart parking lot. The other car my customer shipped, he tried to ship to a home address, and it just became a pain, and was dropped at the same parking lot

I can't say enough good things about board member Fine69 (Mike). I called him new years eve, and my truck was in my driveway before noon on Jan. 2.

I can vouch for Mike's character (aka Fine69) as well. I know he loves doing these kind of trips too...

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. A man is not complete until he is married -- then he is finished.
