A friend of mine will be moving to Arizona next month,they will be flying there but since they're planning on keeping their cars are searching for a cheap way to get them there,I checked with a Co. called National Transport but they would charge over $600 for just one car. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
I deal with shipping show cars in my current job. $600 sounds cheap. I have had it run much more than that.
I don't talk about the job much on FB, LOL. I don't even list it as my employer, you never know about people. Each one of our locations has a show car, sometimes we swap them around or buy them new ones.
I've heard you can occasionally find an independant trucker who may have an empty rig and wouldn't mind taking a light load if he/she is already going that way. I have no idea how you find them though. I can look up the name of a transport company I've used a few times if they would like.
What about posting the job to transport 2 vehicles on uship.com and looking for a bid from people who do that sort of thing for a living. Transporters will bid each other down until time runs out, leaving the customer with the best price. Just make sure who ever is hired has proof of insurance. http://www.uship.com/
In my travels I occasionally run into these individuals that drive the cars for you, and by the time you add up the food, room, and oneway airfare you are getting a bargin at $600 (if they can't get a car to drive back). See if some kid is ttrying to save money and is attending an Arizona College.
At my job, we deal with car transporters but we have to be careful cause there are lots of pirate transporters that steal cars to strip them. Whatever you decide, get references.
