I requested
several quotes and decided to go with Fedex Custom Critical (yeah, Fedex
ships cars!). There were penalties for having a non-running car, so the
cost came to about $2K.
But this was not door-to-door. The rig is 85' long and could not negotiate
the narrow streets near the DC-MD border where I lived, so I had to flatbed
the car to meet the truck. At the other end, the rig would get stuck in the
canyon I am in, so I am renting a storage unit and Rags is living there for
the time being.
As stated, the rig was huge. Dennis, the driver, was a petrol-head and
loves cars. The trailer with all its hydraulics and bluetooth enabled
ramps/jacks etc alone cost $160K. Very impressive. Got the car loaded. 6
days later, it arrives absolutely unmarked and spotless. Even though I
drained the fluids from Rags, it of course had to leave its mark in the rig,
but all the car spaces in the rig had oil collection places so no harm done.
All in all, a great experience. I would highly recommend Fedex Custom
Critical should you ever need to ship your pride and joy.
The reason FEDEX does such a great job is that they bought out Passport
Transport from Robert Pass. It is the same trucks, drivers, etc. just different
paint. It may cost a little more, but you certainly don't have to worry.
Robert started this industry and FedEx carries on his legacy. No one ever
did it better.
