You might consider checking out uship.com. I found a transport company on there twice now and have had good experiences. They were different carriers each time though, and probably wouldn't be of use to you in your area. They have a model similar to ebay feedback which allows you to get a good idea of who you are dealing with. It worked very well for me, but YMMV.

One more "DAS sucks" vote here.

Good luck with your shipment.

I'm biased of course.

I also called MinuteMan (Minuteman Transport - Enclosed Transporters of Specialty Automobiles - enclosed car haulers, enclosed transports) and they gave me the same price (looks like the same type of truck...can get really low cars on).

But then I got quotes from places like A2B (A2B Auto Transporting Home: US auto shipping company - Car shipping - Car transport company) for $1590 enclosed. Maybe the trucks aren't as high quality?

I'm not sure if it is worth saving $400 and going with someone that hasn't been recommended to me, over a place that has.

thoughts? I know my gut says to suck it up and go with the reputable place for the price difference.

Do you think they would maybe negotiate?
Doesn't Norm Baker offer their own shipping (contracted I think). I'd speak to them and find out the details. However, Intercity is worth the price, remember as with everything in this world...you get what you pay for.
