Shipping a truck

Have you shipped a truck recently?

What company, how much did it cost, how far?

Thanks,

Roy

You gotta make calls. I used one of the online quote doohickeys (regrettably) and got flooded with quotes that ran the gamut as far as prices go. Didn’t pull the trigger, since the truck I wanted to buy got sold.

My average quote was about $0.60/mile to ship a 10G F150 from Seattle to Houston, basically. May give you an idea.

My cousin drove for them for 22 years. Sorry can’t speak about price, we always got the family discount. They ship multi-million dollar vehicles consistently, and carry the best insurance.
