Beware with a capital "T".Make sure you get well informed on the company you choose.I hired Jesse Anderson to transport my new 08,better know as GM Junkie.

The haulers I talked to made my skin crawl .Not to say there all bad.

Your Vette as with all Vettes was treated as if it was my own and like I was Hauling Eggs!!
Your car was tied at all 4 corners,straps and chains were inspected every hundred miles,and speed was never in excess 65 mph!

When I retired and moved from Maryland to Florida I also needed to find a transporter that would handle my Vettes as if they were their own. Since my '69 is restored, I felt more comfortable looking for a transporter that used enclosed trailers. So, I picked Thomas C. Sunday, Inc. Tom is a Corvette guy and belongs to the Cumberland Valley Corvette Club in PA. Tom was recommended to me by another Corvette friend. Here is a link to Tom's site.

They picked up my Vettes on time and delivered them on time as well. There was not a scratch or chip on them. Tom was not the cheapest enclosed hauler I priced but not the most expensive either. I would definitely use Tom again if I had a need for an enclosed hauler.

Good luck with your decision.

Rich

Greg used exotic car transport to have his gradaddys truck transported from the farm in Maryland to here, He has nothing but good things to say about them

Give Gary Almond a call. He transports a lot of exotic cars and is well respected in the Viper world.
