Here in the next month or two I should be ready to ship my newly purchased Miata. Y8s has been wonderfully helpful and patient with me during this process and has suggested a few shippers. I'd just like to get some of your opinions on the various shipping companies out there.
If you wouldn't mind sharing your opinions and experiences I would be most appreciative.

When I was deployed, I had a couple people from CR.net drive my car from Columbus, Ohio to LA. Never met them - I payed for two plane tickets and half of the fuel cost. Since they were both miata enthusiasts, I knew it would be taken care of. Everything turned out awesome, cheapest way to ship too!!!

I was extremely happy with Exotic Car Transport out of Orlando when they shipped my 3-series from Washington state. Quick turnaround, very thorough, updates from the driver, arrived early and very reasonable for an enclosed transport that only took about 4 days to cross the country, corner to corner.
However, it was not inexpensive.

I would consider Shuiend LLC but I didn't think they went that far.
I bet he's cheap and you could cover him on your own car insurance as an additional driver for the time it takes to drive there.

There is really no specific company. Last time I shipped my car I just placed a price on how much I was going to pay, and then truck drivers bid on it. The lower the amount, the more time it will be on stand by, and no truck driver will take it unless very desperate for money, and of course risking quality control.

No Jennifer, no care. Actually I'd prefer the long white hairded dude because he travels with a kitty, he also seems like a real ******* which I'd get along with.
I once shipped a car from VA to WI for $700. That's about all I can really offer this thread. They came like 2 weeks late to pick it up and got stuck in the city streets in richmond because they came with one of those huge multi-car big rig things and he couldn't make a turn and broke a hydraulic line. then some hippies complained that we were polluting and made the bio-hazard team come out.
