Vehicle moving companies
horseless and most of the other US companies dont come into Canada so hansens (train shipping) or TFX international are both good
as hemied has said there can be some horrors.
1- ask who is hauling it, is it their company or a private company hired by them? (hotshots)
2- estimated time of transport
3- is the car going to be stored outside or transfered during the journey -some haulers will pool a bunch of cars at a storage yard before they pick them up so there is a full load may sit outside for a week or two before it leaves
4-insurance. whats covered and whats not.
5-BBB check them out. there is a car hauler feedback site thats great. shocking how bad some companies are (like DAS)
6- PAPERWORK make sure you get paperwork. nothing verbal.
i sold a car a few weeks ago and he sent the hauler to pick it up. buyer found the best deal and went with it. guy showed up with "not for hire" written on the open trailer (skipping the weigh scales and running as a private trailer) brought his front chains back to the tranny crossmember and the rear chains up to the tranny crossmember thats how he secured it on a 43yr old mount. my boss and i watched this show shaking our heads. if it made it the 600 miles like that i would be shocked. i assume it tore the crossmember apart. no paperwork. guy looked like a meth head. running private he has no insurance on the car.
