I got several quotes 20 days ago to ship a non running Bug from north east Alabama to Grants Pass, Oregon for $1111-1135. Roughly 2700 miles.

trucking companys to haul....the first guy that was supposed to show up to pick up did not make it but second one did.Was some minor damgae but payed me for it fast and without any hassle.These guys are based in Houston Tx. http://momentumtransport.rtrk.com/?scid=1048783&kw=6877701 They have a pretty good rateing through the better Business Bureau.Ya can do a free qoute online.

This is a company I got one of the quotes from and they are based in Redding. They are highest rated on Transport Reviews.

I had my 73 Bus shipped from the Phoenix, AZ area to Chicago, IL-about 1700 miles, for $900. Great people to deal with. Very quick, accurate, called me daily with updates. 3 days total. Call Dave Pratt on (480) 940-1803. He's based in Tempe, AZ, but can arrange for this anywhere in the US.
