My understanding of the way this works is that you don't actually contact
with the transporter. You contact with an agency who will arrange with a
possibly single man operation that will transport your car.

So probably it's luck of the draw.

Simon - That=E2=80=99s ONE way that it can work. But you can also =
contract directly with an owner/operator. And some agencies have better =
reputations than others.

I found an owner/operator through the local grapevine of vintage car =
owners. I=E2=80=99m on the west coast, and this guy made regular runs up =
and down the Pacific coast. I=E2=80=99m sure there are similar operators =
on the east coast.
