As a first timer shipping a car, I spent quite a few hours over a 2 week period researching auto carriers. From what I gathered, you can either use a broker who will find a transporter, contact a carrier who owns their own trucks, or lastly use U-Ship and hope for the best.
My original inclination was to use a carrier who owned their own trucks. My thought was that since their name is on the truck, they will be the most professional and the likelihood of any damage would be minimal. After getting a couple quotes from the 2 big named carriers, I was a little taken back at the price for an enclosed trailer from CO to CT.
Eventually I found Goliath Auto Transport. My research showed they don’t just choose the cheapest transport company or just anyone who will take the job. They put the time and effort into finding a quality transporter with good reviews, has been in the business for some time and appears to have a mechanically sound truck from the best they can see in pictures. I worked with Josh who listened to everything I had to say. I told him this was an important transport and said it’s ok to wait it out. I want someone who you can trust. I even gave him permission to put more money on the trip if needed. Quality work isn’t cheap and you don’t want just anyone transporting a car for you. After a few days Josh connected with a driver who was awesome. I sent a few texts after pickup and he always responded very quickly. He delivered in a surprisingly short time given the distance. And in the end even after spending a few more dollars than quoted, I still saved $2k over the 2 big transport companies who operate their own trucks and aren’t brokers. 5/5 stars for Goliath Auto Transport.
