Last commericial shipment of a car for me from Birmingham to Portland took 3 weeks.

I'm currently shipping my trailer from San Diego to TPD in Sacramento and on to Portland using the service- so far so good, very inexpensive and I get real time tracking of my shipment.
I used to use uship until I had a few delays and then after watching shipping wars I see why.

Gilbert with Philam Transport in LA. Used twice for Xcountry in last 4 months. 2 very smooth and inexpensive moves. Google his number. Tell him I referred you if you call. GL

I think I've seen at least one of your trailers has vertical "elevator" tail gate to allow for non-running cars to be rolled on and roll off without someone squeezing in behind the wheel and starting the engine (or riding the clutch.) It seems like this is the best solution, especially for cars like the Carrera GT. Do you have the facility to allocate a specific trailer to a move?

Hi Jim, I don't have a move yet, but what I'm anticipating is from Florida to California and the car I have in mind can't be started. I'm thinking of just tying the car down on a pallet and moving it in a box! This is something Fedex has suggested, but I don't imagine they're price competitive.

Carrera GT,

We would not want it palletized or crated, we need to be able to roll the car on and off the transporter. It is ok that the car does not run, but we would need to be able to roll the vehicle. Let us know if we can help you with your move.

Thanks,
Jim
