Passport. I've shipped a LOT of cars and they are the only company that I have never had even the smallest issue with. Blue Highways - the worst.

Lightbulb On my way to Tacoma now

I will be available in about a week to transport
from Tacoma, Washington.

I am planning on staying on the West Coast
to do runs between Seattle & Southern California
for awhile - then head to the Midwest or East Coast.

My custom built enclosed car hauler trailer
has 30 feet of floor space - 8 foot rear doors
and 7000 pound capacity.

On Ford Barn since 2010.
In business since 2006.

I have used Reliable several times in the past both to bring me cars and transport ones I have sold. They arrive on time on both ends and have never damaged a car to date. Cars are always clean when they arrive.

There are alot of choices out there. Pros and cons the larger multi car transports can offer better prices. Lots of debate on who is best. Anyone you choose must be insured. You will be able to check to see what their record has been.
I landed with Sweet spot Transport. Very good service. He is a broker and knows who to use. Excellent communication. Delivered ahead of time. Gorban was the carrier he used, a multi car enclosed transport. The smaller transport companies will give you more personal 1-1 service, Sweet spot can offer the same one car at a time service.

Seems like the people on the Barn recommend Trulyvintage.


Just a heads up. If you post your request on the internet you will be bombed by brokers. When I shipped my car I used Intercity. They did an excellent job, fair price and very quick shipment. In my situation I called at the right time, they were headed back East and had an spot in the trailer. So they cut me a deal.

Some shippers will warehouse your vehicle till they have a full load in one direction. That could add weeks to the delivery.
