Default Vehicle Transport Recommendations

Hello and thanks in advance for any suggestions or feedback. Does anyone have a vehicle transportation company they can recommend? Just purchased a 65 Vette and need to move it from CA to FL and am getting bids from U-Ship. How do you rate these companies and have any comfort on the care taken during transport when there is a likelihood of getting a driver subcontracted from a company contracted by the winner bidder on a shipping brokerage? 🤔😳

I have used T&J Transport for years with good luck but I’m sure they are subcontracting jobs as well. Do you just roll the dice with U-ship hoping you’re good by not using the lowest bidder? Do you have any CA to FL enclosed transport companies to suggest?

Thanks for referrals to any companies that take pride in their work,
Rick

F U C K U - S H I P!!!

ONLY consider such if you are talking DIRECTLY to a shipper. Those fly by night brokers will screw you over 18 ways from Sunday. It will be the night before pick up, or worse, and they call you with some bullshlt story about how they need 15-30% more due to whatever sob story. I've seen it happen 1000 times.

Moved a few cars for me, and a lot of cars for my kid a broker. But the deliveries were perfect.
