Default Need a reliable shipping company?

So of you many have followed the drama and heartbreak of my previous post.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...res-cheap.html

In a nutshell I bought a car from a fellow CL member in Seattle. I then hired a shipping broker out of Florida who posted the job on the national shipping board. The job was picked up by a company out of Washington State to bring it to me in Florida. The shipping company then sent a tow truck driver to pick up the car, he then brought and left it at an unsecured lot waiting for the larger shipping truck to pick it up. While it sat there for over a week someone stole my SSR rims and tires. The car sat for another week until between myself and my insurance company we found some cheap rims and tires, hired a local body shop to pick up the car and secure it in an indoor facility. The broker, the shipping company the tow truck driver all deny fault. All are scumbugs. But I still need to get my car to me in Florida and at this point driving it back myself is not an option. So any member that can recommend a good shipping company not necessarily a broker I would truly appreciate it. It needs to go from Washington State to Florida ASAP

Nah. They are mostly interested in personal injury and deep pocket cases.

Oh yeah, forgot, Medical Marajuana legalization.

Throw, I used Reliable Transport (big orange trucks) about three years ago to move our SC from Pa. to Florida. Very pleased with their work. Picked it up at the closest Walmart (because it was easier than giving directions)
they held it at a secure location until we called and asked to have it delivered. They the delivered it to the nearest Walmart again because they could get their big rig into our development. I would use them again, no questions asked.

MC Nutt, had a SC 430 shipped from Oklahoma to Minneapolis. They are reasonable in price. Might not happen as fast as you like however the car was delivered in Pristine condition.

When I bought the Tesla, I originally set up shipping through the dealership I bought the car from. They went low bid, and it was a mess.

I ended up going out on my own and hiring a company to do it.

Roy took great care of me. Cannot recommend them more highly.

(It helps to start off the conversation with "I don't care what it costs...")

They are the best, but they are not cheap.

Unless you're dealing with the truck owners themselves, you're actually going through a broker who posts your route to a national board just like all the other brokers.
