I have used nations auto transport out of Kansas 6x or more and never had a problem. Owner is Jim Page.
 
Most of the respondents are brokers, it is usually better to deal with a, company that actually owns the trucks. That being said, there are some good brokers.
I have used these guys for a total of 5 times and have never had a problem.002 (57).jpg
 
I bought a Dodge Dually out of Reno in December and it is still there due to multiple companies scheduling a pickup and never even showing up to pick it up. It needs to be delivered to the Columbus, Ohio area. I will know tomorrow morning whether the latest company has picked it up. Prices were all over the board, $1000 - $1675. Worse come to worse, I will fly out and drive it home.
 
When I was checking into shipping mine back in 2012 Reliable had very good reviews. Good luck
 
Intercity lines also has a good rep. I think they own their own trucks. I got a bid from them for my spring move coming up from Minneapolis to LA. It was pretty reasonable. I checked out a few. They weren't the cheapest. But had characteristics of the company and reviews made me comfortable with them. I don't want to go with a broker. I think they do a lot of the jay Leno cars. I checked Horseless Carriage but they don't run that route. Good Luck!
 
I've used Intercity Lines for 3 cross country car purchases. Great service, great communication and took care of the cars like the drivers owned them. I highly recommend them.
 
I used Horseless Carriage to bring my car from Iowa to NJ. They were excellent. Highly recommend them. !!!

From my experience, stay away from the brokers and instead find a company that actually owns the trucks that will be used. There are a couple a good ones listed above in other posts.
 
Between Intercity, Reliable & Horseless Carriage, I don't think you can go wrong with either. I called all three & they were all within 25 bucks of each other from Florida to Massachusetts. I simply went with the carrier who could get there first.

X2 on brokers. Absolute nightmare. I'm certain I lost a few years of my life expectancy and definitely added some grey hairs.
 
think I'm going with Reliable ..Intercity was DOUBLE the price .. $1800 .. man my email box will probably be crazy for the next month ..had 44 yesterday
 
DAS. Timely and damage free. About 5 years ago. East Coast to West Coast.
 
Well,
I called many "Brokers"
Every one was: $1499 to $1599 "Outside" from Chicago IL to my location in So Cal.
I requested: Indoors and everyone said, $1499 and "on top shelf" outside another $300.
LOL
So, for giggles I called Reliable and they stated: $1895 "Inside" shipped door to door.
 
Last Spring shipped my car, 2 day trip, opened the tailgate, this is what we saw, car was 1/4" from the trailer side support, took 25 minutes to get it out. On the trip out, both rear straps had broken, driver was pretty flip about it, said the company would have fixed any damage, you know, a million dollar policy. The wife and I was wondering how his driving was to get it to bounce that much. Guess you never know, and one of the best haulers, orange rigsView attachment 303402View attachment 303403
