Oregon to Long Island shipping

[X Baldwin Motion]

I need to ship a truck from Oregon to Long Island NY ,
Does anyone have any firsthand recommendations?

Please don't rattle off numbers for brokers or Reliable, I need to get this done for a reasonable price, thanks.

Uship.com , Don't be in a hurry . Wait for the price you want BUT from Oregon to Long island it ain't gonna be cheap . I would expect $1,500.00 minimum and wouldn't be surprised at $2,500.00 your talking coast to coast .I hope you got a smoking good deal on the truck .

I used a company called Ideal Motor Trans, inc. They shipped my Expedition from Atlanta to Los Angeles for $875. Had a good experience.

The cheapest thing to do is arrange a shipment to the midwest and drive it the rest of the way. rates increase to haul into the East Coast. I've done this before. Give Scott at www.rustfreeclassics.com in Indianapois a shout and see if he'll work with you on this. Just a thought. But running you new baby back home is an experience we should all experience. It's not a hobby, it's an adventure.

I can relate if you just can't swing the time. been there, done that too. But thought I'd offer a different angle. Fact is, loads and loads of product gets shipped from the west to midwest, then is distributed from there. it's been a while, but my flights out that way were a minimum cost, but I'd do it even if it worked out the same just for the experience.

Special-K is right, a lot of stuff stops hare before going else where.With the camper industry here in Indiana I have used camper totters before. They will rent a tow dolly out west and usually only charge you for the dolly and their fuel coming back. This only works if it is a rolling machine.

We have the truck, I think it took 6 weeks and $1500. Definitely worth it, couldn’t drive a 4:56 geared Truck across country

That’s great.

My 70 C10 is in Tempe, AZ and just about ready to get shipped to Long Island. Probably going to spend about $1500 making it happen through a broker. Seems like they control the market.

Well , You guys have to remember that if a guy is driving a semi truck hauling your treasures, those rigs cost a lot of money to keep moving. I know , I drive my own semi truck from Alaska to minnesota or from Alaska to Nevada and boy does it cost with all the DOT fees and registrations . My rig cost me $2.75 a mile just to cover necessary expenses before I see any potential profit.

Thanks, Vic.

I’m definitely not complaining about it. Everyone deserves to earn - and I’m happy to pay it so I can get it out here safe and sound.

If having anyone haul your vehicles , I would ask to see their cargo insurance. I know a guy who had a vehicle transported in a car trailer by a private individual. Well as fate has it, the guy hauling the car rolled the trailer and totaling out his car . Well the car was not covered and he lost replacement value of his car. The insurance companies do write a short policy to cover your vehicle while being transported . That is your best protection for your vehicle.

That's a good price. Do you mind sharing what service you used? I've had zero luck with brokers and excellent results with actual shippers. The difference is price of course. Painful no matter how it's done!

I'm curious too. I bought a '68 K20 survivor in Long Island and need it shipped to Oregon. J/K it is nice to know who offers what rates as not all trucks are on the west coast.
