I'm not sure of the specific company (I can get it if needed) but beware of=
 "brokers". My son had a Jeep transported and went through a brokerage that=
 contracts with independent drivers. They quoted a price, but when the vehi=
cle showed up-3 days late- the driver wanted another $400 or so before he w=
ould unload the vehicle. I think Hagerty's recommends Reliable Carriers.

 �� I have heard similar stories. The car comes on/off many transports 
always in search of a driver "going that way." And it seems cars can get 
left in yards because the route is nothing that any driver wants. After 
a period of time they accumulate "storage" fees.� Then there is the 
extra fee because the car wouldn't start (easily accomplished by leaving 
the radio on on the last leg - thus it never was a "real" problem). So, 
yes, do be diligent.

 �� When I became aware of that nonsense I flew to the car location. It 
was somewhat inspired by the fact the seller worked for Southwest and he 
gave me a free buddy pass. But even there I started reading horror 
story's about truck trailer rentals. In my case the lowly U-Haul did 
provide me with a 7,000 mile, 10 foot box truck (they don't rent pick 
ups with their trailers). But I read about people wanting/needing 
nothing more that a 10 foot truck and instead getting a 325,000 mile, 24 
foot box truck that broke down mid-route. If I factored the need to have 
bought my own plane ticket it probably would have cost $1.50-$2.00 a 
mile to transport by myself - one way.

I guess I lucked out.  I went through a broker and the trucker was great.
I met him in Massachusetts where the car was loaded on the truck, and then
again at my house.  Super friendly, efficient, and took great care of my
car.  Of course it was a non-operational race car.  And I was first on, and
last off.  So made it less likely that he would touch it in between.  And,
he made it so fast, I'm still not sure I comprehend what he drank or
otherwise ingested to stay away.
