Plan to pay extra for vehicles that cannot be moved on their own power. Most all of these transport companies move the vehicles from one carrier to another at consolidation points. I've seen them quote a price and then charge extra transfer fees. Get pictures of the under carriage before and inspect carefully after. You'd be surprised how much damage can be done with chain hooks and slings.

From time to time we have discussions about having vehicles brought to us from far away. Does anyone have any recent experience? I need to have a not powered, not VW moved from Ft. Worth to NE Oregon. Going to get it would be six days on the road and a fair chunk of change. A transport might be a better option. Any suggestion of what brokers have worked out recently (within the past year maybe) would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Jim
