Default Racecar transport

So I am buying a track car and need it shipped from NH to IN in March. Also are lots of wheels and spares that must be shipped as well.

Can anyone recommend a company that can do this reliably?

I wish I had something more helpful to post, but before anyone recommends UShip, note that most carriers you can book through them don't like to transport anything other than the car itself.

Also, you should be sure to double any time estimate you get from a logistics company -- don't get stuck waiting for your car to arrive or you won't nut and bolt it the way you should.

There a couple of good sponsors here that do that. Angels Trucking is the last one I used and they were awesome and very competitive.

I've used Intercity and Reliable and shipped 2 extra sets of wheels with both. Small up charge for the wheels. All spares fit in the car and shipped as non-running to avoid any movement once onboard.

I have used Passport and Intercity several times over the years. Never had any problems with either one. Cars always arrive in same condition they were in when picked up. I also like that both offer real time tracking so you can check progress.

Passport is moving my car and a set of spares next week.

I've used Plycar several times - race car and my R8. great service. small enough company you can talk direct to people who are in charge. in fact, they took my race car with blown motor to MD to TX last month and will be brining it back next month. very reasonable even with cars that don't run. I also asked about extra wheels and he said no problem, $100/set. email nick and he replies fast with quotes. Nick@plyconvanlines.com

hope that helps.

Kurt,
A buddy of mine has used Exotic Car Transportation of Orlando several times for transport from the NE to FL.
Congrats on Zee Nuuu Trak-Rokkit!
