I need some good ideas for transporters. I'll be moving 1400 miles and have my 56 F100 and another car that I need to find a transport company for. Who have you had good luck with?

 

I've used the Uship service before. You post your job on what you need done and you'll get bids for your job. Payment is done through the app/service. Once your vehicle is received, you release the funds through the app. There's a rating system, so you can see who's bad or good.

I needed my bro's C10 transported from San Diego(El Cajon area) to Las Vegas roughly 350 miles. Cost about $350 in an enclosed trailer.

 

Heck, I'll drive the 56 for you.

 

Used Sun coast twice last year, once with a difficult to deal with seller and they(I believe it's a husband and wife team) never flinched, they are a broker that takes care of everything you just pay the driver when he gets there, Suncoast made the calls, produced the paperwork, hired the driver/carrier after we both agreed the carrier was A1 good and kept me informed of the progress of my vehicle.

Can't say anything bad about them, cost was $150, the driver charged me $600 from Wilsey, KS. to just north of Detroit, MI. for my F1 not running and no brakes

I used UShip also to get my truck from Chicago to Northville near Detroit. $300 in 2011 and was delivered with no problems.

 

When I worked for Ford we used Reliable Carriers to move all of our prototype vehicles all over North America.

 

Dave Fountain at Executive Motor Coach.... 859-414-8298
I got my '48 shipped from the seller's address in Florida to California for $975 or so. No damage, no issues.

 

Wow- I thought I'd give Reliable Transport a shot with an enclosed quote for the two vehicles- $4200. Holy Cow!

 

 

Ive used UShip three times over 10 years or so. Always pleased with the service, but the price has increased a lot over that time.

 

 

I don't have a TV so not familiar with that show. It's not a pure auction: the driver tells you how much, the service and the timing. Then read the reviews, which I found very helpful. Maybe I was lucky but all three drivers were great.

 

You get what you pay for-- not a cheap hobby-- do not go with a broker nothing but trouble or open transport-- I always used closed transport and dependable company's--- GOOD LUCK

 

 

Just had my 1950 F1 shipped out from Utah to Boston by "New Best Inc" for around $1300....had it here in 4 days and the guy really appreciate his classic cars. Name was Chris Dunlap. Outstanding guy to do business with. Let me know if you want his info.
