I'd reach out to Randy Rheinschild with Specialty Vehicle Transport. He is a broker that has helped me in the past and always had good pricing. You can find his company on facebook.

What I learned after shipping my low mileage 2015 911 C2S from Orlando to Chicago and back, 6 times total, and my older one before that, is that there are big differences in pricing. This is because many transporters simply act as middle men with big add-on costs. Finally i found a small company with people in both Orlando and Chicago, and have been paying $600 each way for the 1200 mile transport. They are happy to get $600, because the big companies pay them less than that. I don't mind open transport with these guys because they haul a small trailer holding typically 3 cars on a single level trailer, using diesel dually pickups. No leaky cars above mine, and it's high enough off the road to avoid road trash. And they make the 1200 mile trip in 2 days driving, typically one night. So I'm now sold on open transport with this shipper. It really pays to shop around locally, if in a major city, and avoid the many middle men in this business.

I used Montway transport to get my car from VA to GA. Was fairly smooth. Car arrived... and in the condition I knew it would be.

I used Intercity Transport. I found the brokers were not much less expensive than Intercity and who knows who the actual driver and truck will be when using a broker. The three brokers were of little to no help when I noted my car was in far north NH. Intercity suggested good solutions. Intercity are the same pros that handle cars for Wayne Carini and Jay Leno. They did a superb job on my delivery.
I have also shipped a number of motorcycles and found the actual transport companies were better to work directly with. Just my two cents.

You could try this guy, Mathan Rowe, I found him through Uship, shipped the car I bought from Quebec (I know) to Ontario. Works in the USA too. Although I'm not sure he has an enclosed trailer.

I had a very good first-time experience with Jasmine.
The driver had an enclosed trailer and hauled the car through a snow storm through the mountains and made it on time, with no surprises and at a very good price.

Plycar is excellent and OK cost for enclosed. Truck is theirs with their drivers and this is what they do
