I would never recommend carrying a weapon. I took a big chance of losing everything. However I would NEVER carry a weapon without it being loaded. Why bother... Like what was said, tail light out, search of the car, and bye bye your classic car. Not like they will take great care of it, and you can just go swing by and pick it up. It will be gone or ruined in some way almost for sure. Alot less traffic at night is correct and great. Ya just have to push through it and make it happen. Use my trick for fast food. Worth every penny. ... Danny

Milwaukee to Austin last month was $2,300 with Reliable. I thought that was a bit high, but I wasn't going to take a chance with this car. When they arrived I knew I made the right choice, they took care of that car and didn't move it once.

FINALLY found a great broker that my friend who is a classic car dealer uses. Had my Regal T shipped enclosed from Omaha Nebraska to SE Michigan for $1050 plus $50.00 broker fee. Car was delivered in under 24 hours from time of pick up. Couldn't be happier. Those Russian delivery drivers are machines.

I'd rather pay more for someone who is prompt then look for a deal only to find out the car sits somewhere.

GM Powertrain, nice to see GMHTP mentioned on here, I used to write for the magazine.

That statement right there is the way to go. I made the mistake years ago of looking for a deal and my transport turned into a nightmare. The next time I transported a car I went with a known transporter.

I went through this a couple years ago with a guy who bought my 1961 Pontiac 409. Leaving SW Ontario out to British Columbia. Was all rush rush. Wanted me to OVERNIGHT the ownership AND include shipping. That was a big F@CK NO. So he arranged shipping though another guy in our area. So I asked: "Do you want the ownership MAILED to you or left with the car"? He preferred mail. It took the 5 days for ownership to get there.

He was pissy I didn't overnight express it since the car is no longer in my possession? I offered to keep MY insurance from Haggerty on the car for $50.00 till it arrived. THEN shipper says the car will site in the trailer for at least 6 weeks since he didn't have a second car for the route yet and the guy was being cheap! He did have a second car in 6 weeks. I emailed him back and said I CAN'T jeopardize my standing with the insurance company because your being cheap and told him I have cancelled my insurance.

Hell I even help with his taxes! In Bc you only pay tax on the car. So I had 2 receipts, 20% was "the car" and 80% was "the engine & trans"....

What a nightmare. I will try to help in anyway I can, but some people are just TOO needy
