Might PM fine69. Not sure if he goes that far but its a shot.

I know there is a website where you can have people bid on transporting your vehicle, just dont remember the site.

I had a suburban shipped from New Mexico to Georgia and used a guy out of Texas. He has worked with several board members and he is a car guy so he knows how to take care of old iron..... unlike some of the big truck line types. I would use him again in a heartbeat, good price and reliable.

His name is Bruce Williams, #214-226-3119

I too am interested in this kind of service. I have a couple vehicles I am looking at but the problem is they are across the country. I live in ohio and the vehichles are in las vegas and L.A. Does anyone have a ROUGH estimate what it might cost?

Number98 · 01-05-2010, 10:39 PM

Special-K is looking for a way to get a cab from CA to MD. Maybe you guys could do a road trip together?

I know of a guy that ships/hauls from here....based out of Fallbrook (San Diego). He advertises on ebay under the name "fearlessfossil". His name is Jim Long, and he is VERY reliable. Good ol' boy, retired U.S Army. I have used him in the past. http://yp.ocregister.com/little+jims...389p.home.html

Last time I checked, he was .75 a loaded mile (charged from the point of pick-up, to the point of delivery) That is 1 on 1 service, and he'll help you unload it (within reason, he is about 70 yrs old

) Rates change with fuel prices (his hauler is diesel) He told me broker rates were around .40- .50 a loaded mile.

Unfortunatly i only like to haul OUT to the Western states. So i can bring back rustfree stuff myself.

www.uship.com is your best bet for a deal.

I dont know what it cost because the buyer of my truck paid them but Enclosed Vehicle Transport picked up my 94 when I sold it & he was a super nice guy and a very nice rig and super careful with it.

Number98 , I contacted Bruce Williams and he is backed up for a couple months.

Leddzepp, I will contact Jim.

Anyone else ???

Msgross I wish I had the time, but this would really be a road trip approx 3000 miles one way.
Thanks,
Ray

Can you insure it for others to drive? Special-K (Tim) would be the one to ask about driving it home too.. Fly out, drive back... been done before.

I Pm'd this thread to him, never know...
