Default Shipping Car

I'm interested in a truck near Dallas, Texas.
As I live near Toronto, Ontario, Canada, what would be the cheapest way for me to have this vehicle shipped?

I'm thinking that it would be cheaper to pick it up in Buffalo or Niagara Falls, NY, as I could take care of the customs work myself.

Does anyone have any carrier recommendations whom I could contact for a quote?

a heads up, if your going enclosed with a nice car, make sure and specify no "canvas sided enclosed trailers", they are NOT sealed up and your car will show more dirty than if you shipped open. they think there enclosed.

there would be one less trucker running around if there were not laws in place to do away with him.

The last company I used was Fedex. They were about a dollar a mile enclosed & not running. Been a couple of years ago but you could try...Joe

I second using Reliable. Used them about 6 times in the last few years and they have always exceeded my expectations.

TFX is in the Toronto area and will ship your car from door to door. You can also get them to do the Border/Customs/Duty stuff for you for a small fee.
They have very fair prices and do a great job.
I used them a few months ago to ship a 1970 Challenger R/T S.E.
out of Texas and the car came to my front door MINT !
Call TFX and ask for Wally.
Tell him Danny sent you.
Just press TFX transport on google for there info.
