    GBSean is no longer doing transport.

    Try Cristina at uberhaultransport@gmail.com. She is broker, but I have used her numerous times and she typically has very fair prices and arranged for quick pickup/delivery.

    I haven’t had them ship anything. I have gotten quotes, but Uberhaul was always just as good or better, and a known entity.

    I did FL to WA this summer for $2k enclosed. That was3k+ miles, and it was here in less than two weeks.

    There was a guy on the team chevelle site advertising enclosed transport. Appeared to be an older, retired gentleman doing it with his wife, seemed a good possibility. Believe the name of his company was "enclosed muscle transport" What ever happened to team chevelle, anyway, it does not seem to load anymore.

    Smokey15 So old that I use AARP bolts.

    We used Reliable Carriers to transport a '66 Mustang to our home from Texas. Enclosed stacker trailer. Bart, the driver, was very courteous and professional. Great price.

    I will never use a transport other than single enclosed trailer, which will probably be behind my truck. I had the worst experience this summer shipping my gsx from Phoenix to Wisconsin.
    When you use a multiple car transport who knows how many times your car gets unloaded and reloaded before it gets to the drop off location. If your car is on the bottom deck and fluid leaks from somethings on the top deck guess where that ends up or if there's slack in a chain that's holding an upper deck car on, that will ruin your day. It's very difficult to communicate with a truck driver that has problems with the English language as well. In my case being from Canada the person I was trying to pay from various financial institutions thought it was a fraudulent transaction and wouldn't let the funds go to her. I tried feverishly to get the money to her and Finally after threatening me to put my car in a compound she agreed to accept my Visa card. Now I will tell you why transport companies don't accept credit cards, because when your car shows up damaged you can dispute the transaction.

    Regarding enclosed multi car haulers, look on the outside of the trailer on the upper deck and see if you can see any escape doors. Hopefully the truck driver is a contortionist and can crawl out of your drivers window.

    Sorry for ranting, I had a real shi@@y experience this past summer and have had friends cars show up damaged as well. Luckily my car was needing paint and body work so I sucked it up.....but never again. Gord

    One last thing, I was promised pickup dates that never happened, a week later it finally got loaded....promises promises..ugh

    Recently bought a 37 Chevy and had it shipped from TX to NJ.

    Used these guys:

    They are out of North Jersey
    They move a lot of high end cars.
    Car showed up perfect.
    Would use again

    Horseless and Reliable are regular advertisers in Hemmings. Expensive compared to most independents but they do have a reputation to uphold.
