Shipping toad from Portland, OR to central NC
Have an 04 Suzuki in Portland, OR that can be towed 4 down. I want to have it shipped to NC. How do I do that and approx. what is the cost? This involves family so I don't want to lowball the price or...

Having shipped street rods all over the U.S., plan on $1000-1200 for your car. Make sure the shipper is bonded and insured. Save money on an open carrier, having it shipped terminal to terminal and being flexible with your pick up/delivery dates.
Understand the companies you call, usually are not the actual carriers..i.e. they don't own the trucks nor do they employ the drivers. They are actually dispatcher/facilitators. As an independent driver, I travel from east to west then back. I don't want an empty truck going back so I offer my services to someone needing a transport. I can often offer a cheaper rate if my truck needs one more car to fill it completely. The run cost me the same whether I'm transporting 1 or eight cars. I make more money having a full truck...good luck..Dennis
