Just bought this truck and I am beating myself up with the decision of shipping. Has anyone out there shipped a truck before and if so you did you use. Thanx.

Try reading this thread. Even though everything worked out in the end shipping wise for me, I would not recommend the guys I used. Some other members had some luck and left names and numbers.

Did you buy a hulk or a nice restored drivable truck? If it's drivable I've read that many board memebers have flown to where the truck was and drove it home... or maybe even road trip? Shipping is so expensive.... In about another month or two its real nice on the coast... come see the outer banks!

Last year I was gonna buy a Burb near Baltimore and have it shipped to North Dakota..I spent a lot of time reseraching Auto Transport companies and decided to use BT AutoTransport.. The thing I really liked about them (besides that their rate was one of the best) was that the same driver and truck that loads your truck will be the one that delivers it to you. I guess in the transportation business a lot of times you vehicle can get moved between 2 or 3 diferent trailers and maybe even sit a shipping yard for a week or so till it works for them to get it to you. I dont know how to link on here but here is the webaddress. I gues BT is an old Nascar driver so the bio says.

Bought the Truck outa Burlington and it drives and has a great body on it with a rebuilt 350. This is one of 15 trucks that I have owned and the cost of shipping was not much more than gas back to Texas.
