60-year-old, running and driving car (daily driver) from Oregon to as close to Louisville, KY as possible. I "MIGHT" be looking for this type of open transport but not sure just yet ??
I've also considered driving it across the country and taking that challenge but my balls aren't as big as they used to be as I haven't done a cross-country challenge in an older car in a couple of decades and things have changed out there with all the creeps and so on, soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, I'm considering truck transport.
Naturally, I want to find the absolute best carrier available with the best rates available which will mean being transported on an 8 - 10 car carrier which is fine.
If you guys were buying a very good running and driving 60-year-old daily driver ... would you risk it or ship it ?? And if you ship it, based on what I have said, who would you trust to do the work and to offer a fair rate ??
Thx, Jeff.

Hope you are ok with salt on an old car if letting it go open. In 2021 I got quotes around two grand from west coast for enclosed to your area. Pilot, Horseless Carriage, and Reliable were about the same. I wanted guys who haul hobby cars. I’ve dealt with the Joe bob types people sent to get cars I sold. Nope. Ultimately this time I found a local car and didn’t use a carrier. In the old days I just hooked up a trailer and went myself so I could inspect the car. Don’t have the time anymore. Those were my kinds of vacations.
I want my fair share
