Cris,
I used freight center (sister company to yellow freight here in WI/IL.) Shipped enclosed transport complete body only for 846.00 strapped to a makeshift pallet.
There great cost wise but I would have your client get a small shipping policy. My car arrived with minor damage, cant remember but I think it was one of the rear quarters (I think we cut that section out LOL )
Have you had alot of out of state customers? Whats your approach as far as keeping them up to date. I think Prodigy tops the books in referencing to out of state customers. Good luck.

Thanks Dave! I will take a look @ them.. I just talked to another customer that has his 69 Camaro in Indianapolis... So we will have 2 69's coming over to CA.. One customer lives in LA & the other is from BC Canada..

I have three out of state cars here @ the shop.. Weekly status, proper documentation, don't cut the rear of your car without approval (LOL), lots of pics with e-mails, & answer the phone when the customer is calling you!

www.uship.com.

I got my Nova shipped out pretty darn cheap, because there was a shipper out here anyway, dropping off a car, and was heading back empty.

Give it a try.

Stealing our Canadian clientelle!!!! They are in good hands! Make sure you hook up with a broker for the Canadian in-bound car...... there is some paperwork that has to be done and I find it has been easier to pay the broker than try and decipher what paperwork is needed!

Detrailers

Jeff, handles calls or call backs at all hours 1(877) 777-0077

I used Thomas Sunday and had a great experiance! Concours Transport is another very trusted transporter that a few members here use! I would completely trust either!

I recently used Autobahn Transport. They are based in Illinois.
I was very happy with the service and the price. They do nationwide open and enclosed transport. 888-458-9052.
