Looking for a car transport.

Post by Derrick16 » Fri Oct 02, 2020 4:59 pm

Hi all, could anyone recommend a reputable and affordable car transporter? I already know about freighter Jim, but Iโ€™m looking for other options. Looking to ship a T from Kentucky to California. If anyone will happen to be passing by Kentucky to ca let me know and we can work something out. Thanks in advance!

I second that. Bill has hauled a couple of things for me and is always very easy to deal with and keeps his word. He will do it when he says he will and go the extra mile.
Give an old car guy a barn and he won't throw anything away.

Thank you Gentlemen,

I greatly appreciate the kind words!

Unfortunately with 3 straight trips out to the west coast already run over the last 5 weeks & one more to go the week of the 19th, I have no openings going west. Funny how things go in cycles, I have had to turn down two others who were fine with price & scheduling out to there because it is just too much. I am trying to squeeze in a week here & there to get the house, shop, land, cars all ready for winter.

God Bless

A Great opportunity for some one who needs a good paying job and can drive a truck and transport trailer. A lot of demand for custom car transport services and few custom haulers.

Because I have 30 feet of enclosed floor space
I try to run with two vehicles which makes
scheduling a challenge that can change daily.

Tonight I am in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

I have 14 feet available to Spokane, WA
where I pick up - then I am completely
full down I-5 to Long Beach, California.

From Long Beach - I do have room for
a smaller car like a Model T or a Model A
to Missouri - Indiana and further if needed ๐Ÿง


FJ

I was looking back in time when I used to
haul with an open trailer many years ago ๐Ÿ˜‰

If you transport the truck you will need a larger car, which will generate additional costs for you, but for a quality service I think it is worth it. Until I bought my cars in the city where I lived, so I didn't need transportation. But once a friend of mine needed to transport an entire truck parking lot from one city to another. He had told me that he had had car delivery service at a fairly high level and had no problems, especially since it was necessary not only for the cars to be transported, but also some parts that were quite uncomfortable. The only difficulty, however, lies in the fact that we do not find cars to transport trucks.

Go online, and look for shippers that do international shipping of cars between Japan and USA. It will need to come into one of the west or east coast terminals, go thru customs, then you will need to pick up or arrange shipping from there. You will need to do your own leg work to find one.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

If you are still looking for a transport, I recently used Reliable to transport my recent purchase, an unrestored 1911. They gave it the same care and consideration as the other car on the truck, a very rare multimillion $$ car. Congrats.

Bill's is the best hands down. My self and other family members have used Bill's with impeccable results both east and west bound. Damage free spotless equipment, on time and no hidden charges. You can not find a more conscientious honest and reliable car transporter. I have no financial gain or connection, just a well satisfied customer.

Hi, I understand why you are looking for a reliable and affordable car hauler. Moving a car can be daunting, but it can be easy with the right company.

All this thread is doing is attracting spam replies
