Question Transport Company recommendations for cross country trip

I'm going to be picking up a 991 GT3 and looking for some good transport companies to get a quote from. I'll be shipping the car from NC to CA. Thanks in advance.

I used Montway for cross-country delivery of my RS. Enclosed. Good comms; reasonable price; delivery was timely.

I've never done enclosed. I've always used Alpine for open.

Intercity and Reliable have always done a great job for me.

Intercity, but their communication/updates are terrible. Took 1.5 weeks after pick up to deliver to TX.

Ok, that I don't like. I submitted an online quote request from Intercity and Reliable.

Any other companies to check with?

I used Passport for my GT3 shipment from Chicago to Austin. They had the fastest pickup window, GPS tracking of my vehicle and a 10% Mercedes Club discount. I have also used Intercity and Exotic in the past. I have also heard good things about Sunday and Horseless Carriage.
