Able Auto Transport and DAS both suck. AAT hired a guy who lost my Caddy for a month (turned out he was driving it). DAS is twice the price of most of the competition.

Problem is most companies like AAT and DAS are merely contractors. They give you a price, then post your shipping needs on 'the wire' and whatever owner/operator is looking for another pick up on their way will contact them. DAS (or whoever) will take the lowest bidder and keep as much of the money as they can. Long and short, even if you have a great experience with them one time, the next could be an entirely different ball of wax.

Anyway, if you're shipping a car you care about find someone who drives their own truck, find out what kind of insurance they have BEFORE they pick it up, and make sure you like whoever answers the phone when you call with questions. And most importantly, if its a Lotus PAY FOR AN ENCLOSED TRAILER. Period.

A year ago it would've been about $1400 enclosed - now I don't even want to think about what it would cost.....
