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?

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.
