Hey guys... just looking to get some input from some of you guys that have personally used a transportation company to shipped a vehicle within the US.
As always thanks for the input! Who would you recommend and NOT recommend.

Hey Anthony.
I just search auto shippers on the internet and find the link that says "get 10 quotes" or something like that . Then I sort through them to find one that sounds good to me .I have used at least 3 shippers and all were just contract shippers. All good experiences .

Now ......you bought one , sold one (hope not), or just moving one?

Uship.com has feedback like E-bay... I know money IS an object, but don't make your wallet control your brain.
I also highly recomend Fine69, he does in fact go the extra mile with customer service.

Thanks for all the input guys... Frank good to talk to you again... you helped me understand alot about the whole process. Also for the others that are wondering... NO I am not selling my truck... but YES I am picking up another one.

The seller is from the board and he is all around one AWESOME individual.

The guy that bought my 94 used Enclosed Vehicle Transport out of Florida.
It was a 1st class operation. They offer several different options for shipping.

I know that alot of the shippers are just "brokers" so make sure you are dealing with a 1st party. I shipped a truck once and probably 5 guys called, each one had a different rig. One didn't think he could make the turn, the other couldn't fit it, another wasn't going off the highway that far and so on for 3 weeks. Finally got it shipped but what a PITA.

There's a guy over on The HAMB who hotshots cars around the country, he's insured and a car guy with a long list of references. Somebody like that would be ideal to me.
