Recommendations for car shipping services?

ZeroZeta · 10-29-2015, 12:24 PM

Hi gang. I was planning on having my Z shipped to Texas when I relocate but my shipper backed out because they tend to handle coast to coast vs North/South.

I wanted to see if anyone had positive experiences with a shipping company that they could recommend to transport their pride and joy.

Thanks!

I used Pilot Transport (enclosed) when transporting my then-new '8 Z06 from NH to OH. Pilot Transport transport Honda prototype and production vehicles.

Thanks for your input guys. I have contacted both carriers.

Fingers crossed that I won't need to throw painters tape on the Z and drive it down. ha ha

Did you know that ADKOS offers Nationwide Vehicle Transportation?

11.09.2015 - The ADKOS team not only provide exceptional levels of support to our service members and their families. They also come through for the general public. They were able to help me navigate shipping my beloved Z car from Illinois to Texas when no other transportation services wanted the hassle of working a non standard shipping route.

I received great customer service from CDR Carville Webb and his team and my car arrived in Texas without issue. This is a project car so it was imperative that I receive the best service possible so I can continue with building out my dream project car.

Thank you again to the ADKOS team and the members of our armed forces.

Thought I'd share the review from Robert, please pass the word along.
Thank you

whoever u choose make sure they operate their own trucks and drivers...there are alot of "brokers" who farm it out to the cheapest trucker and things can get ugly.

Pilot Transport is not brokerage. They are the actual shipping and transportation company.

It's been over a year since I last used them, but A1AutoTransport treated me very well. No surprises, hidden costs, damages or any of that nonsense you tend to hear about in the industry. They operate all over the U.S. so I'm sure they're more than willing to do north/south routes as they are coast to coast. Good folks that were straightforward & I'd definitely use them again.

Disregard, looks like this has been dealt with already.

No worries about the thread necro. Since this was brought back up I wanted to give a shout out to ADKOS for great customer service.

Honest, No-BS business there and will be using them again if I ever need to get my ride transported.
