How to Haul a Car to South Dakota
OK I bought an un-restored, non-operable 53 ranch wagon in California. I am now trying to get it hauled to South Dakota. Any suggestions to how to get it here? I logged onto the internet car transporter sites but am getting the sense my information is being processed by some large computer in a room without windows someplace and quotes are higher than I thought they would be!
Any suggestions would be welcome. It can be an open trailer. |

Re: How to Haul a Car to South Dakota
Do a car transporter search on both Fordbarn and HAMB. There are some private individuals who do a top notch job with good references. If you can handle it, pay for enclosed transport so your car won't get tampered with or damaged. Here's a HAMB start.

Re: How to Haul a Car to South Dakota
I have used uship many times. Shipped a couple times with the broker Montway. Expect about $1 per mile. $1600-$2000 for your car.

Re: How to Haul a Car to South Dakota
I had only considered road and weather hazards...had never thought about crooks and vandalism! I need to get out more!
Good tips. Thanks. I am following up on the HAMB link. |

I think that is the first time anyone posted a link to my HAMB photo album - there are pages of cars that I have hauled over the years .... Today I am in Ft. Wayne, IN - tomorrow I drop off in Homer, MI then go pick up a 1942 Packard Clipper Sedan that is headed to The National Packard Museum in Warren, Ohio. Then I get to transport a rare genuine 1910 Sears Buggy from Pennsylvania to Texas - then hopefully I can get to Phoenix to pick up a pair of Model A vehicles that are headed up to Tacoma, WA. I will be available to haul down the West Coast to the Long Beach, CA area in a few weeks .... Jim |

Re: How to Haul a Car to South Dakota
Dakotafarmboy,
There are 3 QUALITY transporters on the HAMB : BenD, Racinman & Myself. We all have ads in the Hamb O Dex section where you can see over 500 all positive feedback/references between us posted by the actual customers who have used our service in the past. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...closed.614419/ https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...nsport.635739/ https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...nsport.614568/ I cannot help you at this time as I only have 2 spots left on my schedule for September (both in the eastern part of the country) & am always booked 3-6 weeks in advance. You may try Ben or Racinman Rick to see if they have a spot open for you. If you must use Uship (which I would discourage you from doing) only give them your email adr, NOT your phone number. They are all brokers who will bother you up to 4 months after the job is done. Some call in the middle of the night. God Bless Bill Squires(owner) Bill's Auto Works

Re: How to Haul a Car to South Dakota
Good luck, I just bought UTV side by side in Romney West Va before i had a delivery price. it cost me 1572.00 to transport a 4 wheeler to Ruidoso NM. Two reasons, the US economy is booming and the summer time is when everyone moves. The can charge what they want, also a law went effect limiting how far a driver can go in a day. Trucks are monitored.
In December 2017, I had a 56 ford sedan shipped from Boonville MO. to Cocoa Fl. for 800.00. |

Re: How to Haul a Car to South Dakota
I leave my car trailer home for long distance tows and rent a UHaul trailer.
They tow amazingly well. Hint - check locations along your route for availability and cost to you home. |
