My son moved the opposite way from yours and I shipped his truck to him. I found out some interesting things about shipping.

1. I went to the Web and chose a shipper to get a quote and from this one shipper I received MANY quotes from shipping companies.

2. When you talk to the shipper, they are just the broker who collect their fee to hook you up thru 'their' work to enter you into the data base where the actual truckers then pick to service you as it fits their driving schedule.

My trucker was a very nice guy. He lives in California where he starts picking up cars and picks up more and drops them off on his way across the U.S., then when on the other side, does the same thing all over again until he gets back home to California.

I paid 1K to a California Broker and found all the quotes I got were within a few hundred dollars of each other.
