ANyone have a good shipping company

I am looking for someone to ship my car to KLEEMANN in colorado. I would like to see if I can get a 5 day turn around. Cory said he needs about 3 days and I am like 380 miles from them so I am hoping to send it on a Monday and get it back On Friday?

Drives Slowly
I used FedEx/Passport to ship my car to Cory. All enclosed carriers, the best prices and it's FedEx!!!!!

Expect to pay extra if you want the car shipped and returned on a specific schedule.

Here ya go: FedEx

Not only did Intercity shred my tire, but they could never arrange a return visit as their midwest trucks have all been full. I was lucky when a big orange Reliable truck just happened to be passing through and a broker found it.

Bottom line, this is a horrible time to ship. Not only are trucking companies really booked and lead times shot, but the weather is getting harsh and you should expect more delays. Cory couldn't even drive my car home from the dealer last week because the roads were ice.

I'd drive it myself if I were you, take a mini vacation...

otherwise, wait until january when you can really nail down a start and end time... most of these companies quote 7 to 10 days to pick up and the same for delivery... not a 5 day turnaround... not a lot of enclosed carriers going through CO Springs.

InterCity is fine... Reliable is the same... Passport is over priced... and you'll probably end up needing a broker to get the car back... getting it there is easier.

You just had your car there. Damn if there was ice a week ago I know it is only going to get worse. I would take it to him tomm if he had the time. Cory said they are booked until 2nd or 3rd week in Jan and open all of Feb but that is the worst month for snow. I guess I could just through it on a flat bed and use my H2 to tow it to him. CVory also said I could take it to evolution motorsports in AZ. I have talked to them before and they seem like a good group who knows there crap. They are just about an extra 200 miles away but no snow.
