I did a search using the words "transport" and "hauler" but I did not find what I was looking for.

Does anyone have any good (or bad) experiences with any car haulers? I requested a quote from Intercity transport. When I get home tonight I am going to check in the back of GRM to see if any transport companies advertise there.

But if you know of anyone who can deliver and you would like to recommend them, please do so... Thanks in advance

thanks. I asked for a quote and I got about 5 or 6 of them. To tell you the truth, these guys all make me nervous, I have been reading some reviews, a lot of them are good (could they be plants) but there are some bad ones.

I do my own transport, because then I can scream at the delivery guy all I want.

I live near Joliet, Illinois (north of Bradley) and want to miss work......too bad you aren't going the opposite way as a ton of college students are now headed back to University of Illinois and Olivet Nazarene University.

How far is Cinci to Bradley? 300 miles?

In reply to pete240z:

I've had good luck with uship.com never know what kind of rate you'll get till you try.

The more flexible you are the better the rate, but you have to act fast on some as the car will be the last thing they need to fill a load.

If it's driveable, I live near Danville & work in Indiana. If you can get it down here, I could get it over to Lafayette or possibly Indy.

I'm not too far either. If this was one week earlier I could have done it for you for the cost of expenses... But school already started...
