the 2 best are intercity lines and reliable carriers.the only ones i would use.call for quotes and the most important there gaurantys.there are other ones out there,but beware of the others.with either one of the above you should have no worries.

I used Reliable to ship a Viper from Tulsa, OK to Chandler last March and was very happy. It was completely enclosed the entire trip and they have a Warehouse drop point in Chandler just off of I-10 and the 202. They will bring it right to your house if you want them to.

in the past on my move from NJ to Miami.
I used the USHIP website and they trasported by 69 camero and Prowler. Its a site where carriers bid on your shipment you can review the different trucking companies etc and save a ton of money. They guy I used was great, even stored the cars for me when my move in was delayed.
Just another place you could check out for quotes

Here is what my bid looked like. Its like ebay for truckers http://www.uship.com/shipment/1969-chevy-camero-and-1999-prowler-to-ne/343001046/

That sounds about right and all of thise guys are really good carriers. The most important thing is comfort that your car will deliver without a problem. Just for reference sake I recently put out a quote on USHIP to get and estimate for shipping the Prolwer from Miami to Grand Junction Colorado (deans prowler pro place) about 2,330 miles the bids are coming in around $1,450- 1500. Alot of people have had good experiences with the carriers you quoted above.

The other thing to ask is if it is a closed or open transport

Good luck with the move. Copy of the quote is below http://www.uship.com/shipment/Plymouth-Prowler--Miami-to-Grand-junctio/562933288/

Some closed shippers are double decker. Open or closed, tell them you want top shipping so you don't get oil drips from the car above.

I used Reliable to ship from Tucson, AZ to NJ. Took about 2-1/2 weeks. Mine was on the bottom. No oil drips but did have some dust. Had I known idive's suggestion, I would have requested the upper. Also, the enclosed rig was oversize, and he couldn't get all the way to my house. I had to go about 1-1/2 miles out to the main road to unload the car. Pay attention to the Freight Bill where you note the damage on the car at pickup, so you can compare to the damage at unloading. Mine had a small scratch on it that wasnt there when loaded and am now trying to get the claim resolved.

Trey, you should have told me. I will be in Grand Junction tomorrow. I could have driven your Prowler instead of mine, lol.
