    Due to time constraints, hubby & I are looking into shipping a truck to Alaska. Has anyone shipped a truck across country? If so, which company did you use?

    I havent done it before but google it and look for reputable transport companies. Im guessing it isnt going to be cheap but youtubers are shipping cars to themselves all the time. If I saw something online that I really wanted, Id have no issue having it shipped to me.


    Edit...I just did a quick search and found some info here on it:

    Thank you! I've got several quotes from a few companies. Was just seeing if anyone's experience has them recommending one company over another.

    Within the 48 - probably 1.50 a mile, to AK - I honestly have no idea.

    Obviously the miles add up fast - but not like an overland shipper is going to have an easy time of it.

    I just recently shipped a c10 pickup from Georgia to Utah. I'll see if I can dig up the info, they were awesome.

    I had my tundra shipped from Oregon to Cali, under 1k, but I was lucky to locate a transporter on his way south with open spots on his trailer, forget the name of the company I used but I was pleased. I will look for the company name, they are out of Newport Beach Ca.
