Shipping company recommendations

I've never shipped a car, so this may not apply, but I have done lots of shipping and receiving through my business. One thing I have learned... Avoid using any freight company that "interlines" with another company to complete the delivery.

This may not be possible in all cases, but there are several large shippers that cover huge regions of the US. The problem is if and when there is shipping damage. If there is more than one shipper involved, they will all try to pass the buck, sometimes to the third party. It can take weeks to get resolved.
