I Need a Good Reliable Vehicle Transportation Service

[GT500WhiteVert]

Just bought a Shelby and I am looking for a very reliable, trustworthy company to ship it 700mi from the Mid-West to the North East. I would prefer an enclosed trailer.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks!

I couldn't find anyone I was truely comfortable with to ship my lightning to Texas , so me and the buyer decided to meet in the middle next week. Were in the Middle East and were in pa . I'm located 30 mins from Pittsburg

Due to how it is financed, it must be transported. Still looking for a solid recommendation...

Why don't you just go up and drive it down? Enjoy the car for what is was meant to do…be driven.

Intercity Lines. Used them twice for coast to coast moves. They will take good care of your new Shelby. http://www.intercitylines.com/

I will back up SCGallo2's recommendation of Intercity Lines. They shipped my Cobra from NJ to Florida on-time with no issues or damage.

Good tips. I saw Jay Leno recommends them, and I actually got a reply back from Wayne Carini, of F40 Motorsports / Chasing Classic Cars, and he said Intercity as well. Pricey, at $1000, but totally worth the piece of mind.

Tip for others, make sure you are using Intercity Lines Inc. and NOT Intercity Transport! The later is some kind of broker, where they farm out your quote to the lowest bid. Avoid brokers, and go with a company that owns, operates, hires, and screens their equipment and drivers!!

Also, request that the driver put your car on the top level so that fluids from another car do not drip on it. They do cover them but better safe than sorry.

it is not uncommon to pay $2 per mile plus 30% fuel

That's the attitude I like to see. There's nothing wrong with paying more for top quality products or services.

LOL @ $1000 being "pricey" ...people have no idea what it costs to run a trucking business

Thanks for the "advice" :idea:, just trying to up your post count?

"Pricey" because I could easily go pick it up, and save $1000. Due to how it was bought, I can't legally drive it back, because I if I could, I would.

Cool pics! That's what I'm hoping to see in about 2 weeks!

I used FedEx to ship my Shelby and it was great

Before then I didn't even know they shipped cars.

???? I fly for FedEx and get a shipping discount. I called them to inquire about shipping one of my purchases and was told they (we) don't ship cars!

Here's a picture of the car when it was delivered.

Well crap! I'll have to look into it a little better next time.

No sir, just letting you know that $1000 is cheap for 700 miles. The cost in gas alone would be $600.

Yeah maybe they stopped shipping cars.

This was around 2010
