Title: Can anyone recommend a car transporter?
Post by: billday on April 24, 2016, 08:33:52 PM
In the next couple of months I have to get a car moved from SE Arizona to my home in the NYC suburbs. Just wondering if anyone here has any experience hiring transporters and has someone to recommend (or avoid).

Thanks,

Bill

Getting close. I've been studying this site

https://www.uship.com/

and plan to pick someone soon. I'll let you know what happens. (I'm not letting JO anywhere near it, if that's what you're wondering.)

The car transportation biz is just horrible. A few years ago I purchased a car in Tampa Florida and wanted to have it shipped up to me in Sioux Falls. I registered on UShip and a couple of other sites to get interest and quotes. Oh Lordy, all kinds of people came out of the woodwork, some brokers low ball and then hope to find a truck driver to take it, weeks go by, nothing. I heard of cars showing up with hundreds more miles on the Odo and cars being dropped hundreds of miles from the destination and told to come pick it up. I ended up buying a one way air ticket for $250 and driving it back home. I got calls for 6 months after offering cheap rates to haul my car. I would go with one of the well known companies like Reliable, yep, they cost more but worth it. Ask for a copy of their insurance and ask if the guy picking it up will be delivering it, they sometimes relay on and off trailers and drive the car. Sorry for the negative info, just my experiences.
Pay for an air ticket for a friend or relative to go pick it up, best plan.

Yeah I noticed that brokers and actual shipping companies listings look the same until you drill down some. And brokers "look" way cheaper.

Can anyone recommend a MOTORCYCLE transporter? I may be in need of one for shipping my K1100lt and my R90/6 from the Boston area to Las Vegas in a couple of months. Thanks.             :deal:

I had good luck with " HAULBIKES "

It does take a while, but not painful at all.
