Shipping

What is the best and cheapest way to ship a truck. I might be getting a land cruiser from Paradise, CA and will need to have it shipped to Las Vegas, NV. The TLC does not have a motor so driving is not an option.
Thanks in advance,
Brandon

Re: Shipping

car transporters are you best bet for cost effectiveness

you just have to find someone taking a car to Ca close to where your vehicle is and would normally come home empty.

you may have to play the waiting game with these guys but it is much better monetarily than paying for a round trip.

dealerships use these types of people all the time

You seem like you are bright enough, walk into a dealership you are comfortable with and ask a few questions about how they get dealer trades from distant dealerships

Re: Shipping

The biggest problem is it`s not driveable.Most transporters want it to run for loading and unloading purposes.
