Shipping two trucks from MS->SC

Hi -

I am looking at old threads, trying to see how people have been shipping trucks etc.

I need to move two c10s from southern Mississippi to coastal South Carolina- around 700-725 miles.

I put in the info with UShip, but then I read a bunch of crazy and discouraging stuff about them both on this site and other sites.

Has anyone moved anything from MS with a hauler that they would recommend?

Thanks -

Matt

I've used Reliable and FedEx Custom Critical. Both were great, but as you can guess, not cheap. If you're going enclosed, I'd recommend Reliable. You could probably get a good deal on two, I'd think, since other than extra fuel for the weight there are no extra stops or routes for the second one.

Just got an online quote from reliable but they just calculated it at 2x the number - i think I am going to call and see about getting a deal for the twofer. Thanks!

Any other opinions?

Call some of the bigger salvage yards. Some of them buy from sales in states several states away, they have to get them home to dismantle them somehow. I know at my sale I buy from there is a guy there that buys from AL,and I am in AR. They don't just appear in AL. they get them there somehow. I also know there is a guy that buys there is in Ohio.

I will reach out to them on monday, thanks for the recommendation!

Junk yards were a bust, they said they find all the junk cars they need withing towing distance w/ their trucks! haha

Knowing the drivers here, we should have lots of wrecks to keep them busy!

Didn't get a discount for the twofer, in case anyone else is looking for something similar later.

Thanks everyone so far! I appreciate the help -
