    I'd like recommendations on car shipping companies. Got a car to ship from Arizona to Indiana. Covered transport definitely required. Any companies people prefer? Any to avoid? Thanks!

    I recently used JP Logistics & Motorsports, Inc. to ship my Ferrari from Miami to Orange County, California. They did a great job! I didn't want the car being moved to a different carrier, trailer, etc. It was important that my car entered the truck in Miami and not be moved until it arrived in So. Cal and that's how they roll. Many shippers will not guarantee that the car won't be moved or switched to another carrier, shipper, or trailer during transport.

    That's the route I run, my office is in Indiana and I live in Arizonia and have an enclosed 6 car hauler.

    Thomas Sunday has always done a great job for me. I've hauled racecars with spares coast to coast with them numerous times and there has never been a single issue.

    I have been successful with Intercity too, but heck, if "i'm Gone" is running that route take him up on it! Now what did you buy from the Scottsdale auction week?

    I've used Intercity Lines twice and was completely satisfied with their service.

    Jim @ Intercity is great. Only problem is, they have too much business!!!!

    I have also used JP Logistics, Reliable, and Thomas Sunday with good results.
    I can list on two hands the number of companies I will trust with a car.....don't take chances.

    Let us know who you end up using and if they met your expectations. A picture of the car being delivered could be a nice touch too :)
