Default Re: Shipping a car?!????

I used a guy named Mike Falco at 1 Flat Rate. Phone number is 1-800-876-4888 extension 5.

I bought an L78 Nova from a member here in New Jersey and wanted it shipped all the way across country to me in Seattle. 1 Flat Rate quoted me around $1200 on an open trailer. This was April 2013, just about a year ago. They said the pick up window was around 2-3 weeks as they had to find enough cars in the area to fill a transporter coming this way from the New Jersey area. He called me back about 5 days later and said he had an enclosed trailer he could offer for slightly more at $1450. I agreed to it.

The Nova I bought was not a runner, so this price included winching it on the trailer as most guys charge extra for that. I was happy with the service from the transport company. They are not owned by 1 Flat Rate, they are just an approved transporter in their network as they simply broker these hauls. The company that hauled it took good care of it and then I picked it up in a secure holding lot about 20 miles from my home in Seattle. I would use them again.

Hope this helps you.
