So who did you go with? UPS or FedEx?

Seriously though let me know who you go with when it comes to it and if they take care of you.

Cheers



Ended up with Jim from Trico Long Distance. Picking up this week, fingers crossed.

Thanks for everyone’s input/guidance. One thing I learned is that every shipping broker seems to work with the same “pool” of truckers. By the time I called the 5th broker, they already saw my request for transfer was being bid/worked on by other brokers.

Did you try United Road Service? Or DAS dependable auto shippers? I used to work for URS back in the day they might be worth trying.

My brother is going through the same thing. The truck is sitting at a Ford dealer in Mississippi ready to be shipped to SoCal since 11/1. The broker has been unable to find a driver.

Similar issue, tried to get one from AL to CT, waited 3 weeks before I just drove myself

^ have fun! shipping a car is a pain in the ass especially far like you were trying to do.

I shipped my gtr to Atlanta a few years back for a car event..... getting it there no problem but it took the guy an extra 3 weeks to bring it back home. car shipping is lame!
