Jason:
I recently shipped a cherry '71 VW convertable (my other automotive
dalliance....) from Long Island down here to Jacksonville FL. I used a
company in NJ, Larick Towing in Parsippany. They actually broker space
on auto transporters. Cost me $600.00 to get on the back of a semi
truck full of snow-birds cars.
I dealt with a guy named "Ren" (Wren??) at Larick, really a good guy,
understood my concerns regarding the immaculate condition of the Bug
and made sure it was perfect when it arrived. The driver of the rig
actually busted my chops about the car being cleaner than when it left
Long Island.. Apparently Ren had given him all sorts of noise about
taking special care of my baby...
They're car guys, just like us. I reccomend them whole heartedly. If
they don't serve your regoin, I'm sure they'll steer you in the right
direction.
(If you need the number, let me know....)
