Question Car transport options

Who has used a great transport company that took care of your baby?
My upcoming 4.0 is rare enough to warrant delivering it to my garage. There's just too much road construction between me and the dealer right now.

Thanks.

I used FEDEX. I would highly recommend them. Always was in touch with the driver. Unloaded the car perfectly. There were very old ferrari's in the truck as well that had to be worth $$$$

Also the company that picked up my car when I sold it to SSHTO seemed very professional, great looking truck that had a 599 GTO and a 430 on board. I dont know the company but you could ask him.

I've hired a transport many, many times. I will only use Horseless Carriage or Intercity. My worst experience was with FedEx.

I've used Intercity (good), Horseless Carriage (good), Exotic (good), Reliable (okay), Thomas Sunday (okay). The Collier Collection only uses Exotic. How far is it from your dealer to your garage? What part of the country?
