Does anyone know anything about shipping a vehicle cross country? My Jeep is in Mass, and I want it here, in California.

I need a reliable company with reviews.
Cheap as poss.
Good or bad experiences?

Also, train? or 18wheeler? Any help would be appreciated.

Not safe.

I drove out here in an A4 so that was chill, but my car is a Jeep with 6in of lift, 35' mudders, and differential components not suitable even for city streets, let alone a cross country drive.

she's a woman, which at the very least could explain unnecessary comments that many consider stupid

Shipping wont be cheap, no matter which way you put it. Youre looking at about a grand minimum.

Shut the fuck up. Sorry, I hate to be mean, but these women jokes aren't funny anymore. I can appreciate a clever woman joke, but saying it just to say it is retarded and annoying.

i agree, it's not funny anymore. It's become over done and flat our offensive now.


Anyway, about the thread. Definitely around 1-2 grand. My friend has done it and paid idk somewhere near $2,000. That was from NJ-CA for reference. I'll try and ask him for you

My friend's dad's boss hired my OTHER  friend to drive his daughter's car from LA to Florida and paid for airfare, hotels, and food, because it would be cheaper than shipping.  The cheapest shipping agent we were able to find was like $800.

that is fuckall of an excuse for driving it.......i drove my TJ with ARB lockers, rock ready lift, and 35 swampers no prob ( in the winter). To me it would just be another excuse to hit up a road trip ( and get to ride some sick trails on the way....with the way your jeep is set up). But if you don't have the time....your looking at over 1000 to 2000 for anything reliable.
