It's ridiculous. I had a quote for 2K from Sask to Ontario and another for $600.00 US from Oklahoma to Buffalo NY. US Haulers won't come into Canada and we get screwed. Geez, it costs a hundred bucks to get your car hauled (flat decked) to the body shop, in town.
I know, I know, Insurance costs, fuel, lower volume of freight in Canada means it can take a month to get a two-way load. Blah,blah,blah.
What about containerized shipping with the railways? Betcha there is a business model in there if you can get you load into a standard size container and access the high-volume freight channel, railways, trucking, etc...
Until then I am resolved to having to go get it myself when I find a car I want. Pete
