Enclosed transport from West to East coast?
HI All!
I've about had it with Reliable Carriers giving me excuses as to why they can't pick up my Kirkham. Does anybody have any experiences with enclosed transport companies from the West to East coast?
Thanks
Chris

I've used BATS Motorsports with good results. Specialty cars and race cars are their focus and they are great to deal with. Also, their pricing is more than fair.

This company was recommended to me and I've used them twice last year without issue. But not for my Cobra. They are brokers, but they use good trucking companies.

Hogwash, they moved a car from Port Townsend, Wa to SE PA three years ago for me.
Try Thomas Sunday Auto Transport, Horseless Carriage, or Reliable Auto Transport for starters.

Hi Resto, I used Thomas Sunday (out of PA) to bring my ERA from Connecticut to Maryland. On time as promised, cost competitive, same driver and trailer did pick up and drop off. I highly recommend Thomas Sunday........

Passport might be an option. The carriers will only go to your pickup and dest if there are enough other picks or drops to make it worthwhile.

Cashburn I worked at Thomas Sunday for ten years and it is far from a regional operation! Living in Maryland and covering the forty-eight states is a big region. Tom

Dependable Auto Transport, but don't even think using Magic Carpet. I paid them for enclosed top tier, they left the ignition open killed the battery and could not did not want to get the car restarted and left it on the bottom tier. Tried to charge me $300 extra for having to move the car with their truck jack mechanism for having a dead battery. Real asses.

I don't think they have enough trucks to cover the full 48 in short time is what I should have said. By regional I mean they are primarily PA based running up and down East Coast with a few runners to the West.
Since the poster is off main points for pick and drop the odds of a smaller op getting to him sooner are probably nil. |
