Maine to Maryland should be an easy booking as the majority of transporters run the main interstates. I always recomment McNutt Transport they are a Broker but do, carefully select their contracted Carriers. ~Alan

i am looking for some recommendations on a good transport company.
enclosed trailer
from maine to maryland, the week of august 16th.
my first speedster, want a company that cares!
thanks

We use agape. They are a broker and they always come thru with better cost then everyone else and better service... TOp notch guys

I just used Horseless Carriage and they were awesome. They did what they promised and I was very happy. I was being jerked around by snother company before I switched to them. So I would highly reccommen
d them.

Nothing personal against anyone but use a carrier that uses their own trucks and inclosed....no brokers and no exposed.....
These tubs may not be collectable but they damn sure deserve the extra care...

Stay away from "Relocation Station"...

Used Horseless Carriage two months ago to get my Vintage WB from Dallas to TN. Can't say enough good about them
Highly recommended............do get the drivers cell phone # from your shipper. Will keep your blood pressure down.

I'm a transporter owner operator dedicated area is between WV and NJ.
There are a dozen differet reasons why a truck rarely can stay on schedule....
i.e. weather, traffic, additional pick ups and drops, breakdowns, dumb people that crash, customers don't have the cash funds on hand having to go to the bank or beg a neighbor.
" My husband had to work late, didn't he call you? "
Some people actually don't know where they live or how they get to their home on a daily bases.

"Hello truck driver, can you tell me when my car will get here?"
"Sure can, the same time as the truck arrives, that muchI can promise you."

You Gotta Go with enclosed. I did and it was well worth it. Horseless Carriage had it covered in plastic in a truck that was very nice and clean inside.....Driver was great...

Anyone ever go with the white shrink wrap used on boats in the winter? Its cheap and easy to apply (big hair dryer-like heat gun). I know canvas tarps and even car covers are bad a chaffing the paint - but the plastic shin wouldn't be.

Sometimes I drive through the back part of the Weapons Station near the wharves, and occasionally they will have row upon row of helicopters wrapped in that stuff for shipping overseas. Makes 'em look like really big toys.

Wonder how many decent cars went for a bath ?

I have hired Agape for moving my car from Davis, Ca. to Peoria, IL. based on your recommendation and what I have heard from others. I'll post results once I get the car.

So you would think that since I operate my own auto transport business I wouldn't get caught up in a miserable cluster F#$*.
Last week, I decided to replace my tired S 10 shop truck with a low mileage beautiful F-150 I bought in Ft. Lauderdale, arrainged with a transporter that runs N and S to haul it up to PA. They get a few hundred miles north and blow up their CAT powered 18 wheeler abandoning my F-150 at a CAT dealer where their dead big truck now is in St. Augustine Fl.
I then contract with a second carrier out of Miami to pick it up before 5PM yesterday..... Today, I call them at 5:00pm and the driver tells me they can't do the move due to other commitments....finally I get an english speaking transporter out of Maryland to get it tomorrow AM and will deliver the truck here on Tuesday ....Stay tuned :)

I just used McNutt, they farmed it out to J&W from back east. Enclosed trailer, on time, no damage, i'm happy.

Alan:
Sorry to hear about your problems. Feces occur! Hoping for a seamless process on mine. I entertained going out and hauling it myself, but by the time you add up airline ticket from Peoria to Sacramento, truck rental, food, gas etc. it came out to be virtually the same cost. Not to mention time from work and the family when my twins are just starting 4th grade. Rather write the check. Driving it back sounds like a lot of fun, but frankly, I want to get some short range drive time before I haul my sorry butt more than 1500 miles under time constraints.

I hired Horseless Carriage company out of New Jersey. They did a great job.
Picked up car in Maine on Wednesday delivered it to Maryland on Monday.
Great driver, nice enclosed trailer.
Would recommend them.

Shoot, Alan.....

For a one-way plane ticket and gas money I'll drive it up for ya!

E yo hablo Espanol, tambien!!

Arrived here yesterday..what a deal I got on a nice low mileage Ford F-150...needs a set of fresh sneakers and that's about all ~

i saw a huge orange fleet by reliable at the car events last month, plus a couple of rigs from horseless carriage... f40 motorsports and jay leno use intercity...

Leno must know every driver by name ~

"Leno must know every driver by name ~"

Likely gets a discount too.....;-)

My Speedster arrived this morning. It was picked up in Davis, Ca. on Saturday morning and dropped here in Peoria, IL @8:00 am today. No terminals, no changing trucks. Straight door to door. I could have had it delivered last night at 10:00 pm if I had wanted.

They estimated 7 to 10 days from pick up to delivery on an enclosed truck for roughly $1300. They beat the hell out of that time to delivery estimate!

Car was perfect, driver was on top of the whole deal and extremely careful with my car and the others he had to move to get to mine. Since the Speedie is a convertible they put it on the upper deck so that nothing could leak out of another car onto it.

Couldn't be happier. I called AGAPE in Tennessee, they brokered it out to VLS / The Car Carriers at (630)405 5205. VLS is located in Chicago but goes everywhere coast to coast.

I'll use VLS again for sure.

Bob,

Glad to hear you had a great job done for you... They have always been right on top of things for us and we've used them more then 20 times...

Kevin:

Thanks for the lead on Agape earlier in the thread. I included them in the mix of companies I contacted (8) and they had the best price and were able to both answer my questions, and deliver everything they promised ahead of their own schedule.

Bob

Here is the driver and the load...

Thanks Michael for posting those pics. The only difference from the pictures you see in Michael's postof the car I bought from him being loaded was that the driver repositioned the car onto the top row because he didn't want anything leaking onto it from the other cars on the trailer. Pretty considerate!

By the way Michael, the car is doing fine and running great. Thanks again for a great buying experience.

Bob
