School Me On Shipping A Vehicle Half-Way Across The Country

Hey guys, so I recently bought a classic truck (a mid-60's Datsun 320) ~1,500 miles away from where I live. I'm going to have it shipped because it's not well suited for long highway travel (it made 60HP when it was new). but I have no experience with shipping a vehicle and could use some advice.

I submitted a request with U-Ship and got a bunch of quotes varying from $1/mile (which I think is fair) to $2+/mile which I think is too much.

An added bonus is my new-to-me truck is too narrow to fit on a normal car-transport trailer.

So has anyone else been in a situation like this or can recommend a shipping company which they've had good luck with?

Thanks in advance!

 

Just to update my own thread, I ended-up using a Broker out of Chicago called BKK Trucking. The seller of my Datsun recommended them having used them in the past and I was in a hurry to get the truck, plus their price was fair at a time when gas prices were going crazy so I went with them. The whole process was pretty smooth and the truck arrived in good shape.

Hope this helps anyone else who may need it in the future.

 

Glad it worked out Kev. Kindly post pics of your new baby in @PennSilverTaco's thread:
