Vehicle Transport/Carrier Recommendations?

Hello all. I need to ship a new TRD Pro from a Florida dealership to Virginia. Any specific recommendations on carriers, or any negative experiences to consider/avoid?

I’ve plugged into a couple of online brokers and received quotes from $600-1,200 for open carrier up on top level (not enclosed).

Thanks for any guidance!!!

 

Fly down, drive it back.

 

Fly me there to drive it back for you. I need to get away on a break. Heck, Orlando to Richmond is only under 12 hours I think. Could pick it up at the dealership and have it to your door in 13 hours for same day service.

 

I have reasons to use carrier service in lieu of that strategy.

 

Thanks SunDog. 973 miles that I don’t want on the truck. But appreciate the offer!! I would have thrown in a big fast food allowance too!!

 

Nah...no food. Not in a new truck....plus food=the sleepies.


I have a buddy in Orlando, owns a '17 CM Tundra, that works in DC. Makes that trip there and back 2x per month.

 

How about renting a trailer and tow it back. If you don't have a tow vehicle you can't rent that also.

Just curious, why don't you want to drive it back?

 

Enterprise Truck Rental does rent tow vehicles but it has to be a round trip which would be fine for this.

Pretty reasonable too from the few times that I have rented them!

 

$600 not too bad although not enclosed. Not sure why that sounds unacceptable. It hasn't been garage kept to this point anyway.

 

Buy several other cars from there and ship them all. Sell others at a profit and your shipping is free.
