Im in the process of buying a car. I contacted some freight places and I can never get a legitimate price. There's a fee for this a fee for that. It went from $250 to $600 then to $1000 and climbing. Its just a chassis, body and some misc parts. I was thinking the dimensions of a crate would be somewhere along the lines of 5X5X10 and roughly 600 lbs at the most. The distance is 1500 miles. Any suggestions?! Thanks

It is a long shot, but I would contact http://www.m-v-t.com/ They are racers from the Las Cruces, NM area. They have sponsored Steve and Kraig Kinser for several years. They also promote some races in the Las Cruces/ El Paso area. They also sponsor some cars on the ASCS National tour There trucks are everywhere.

You could also try Youship.com.
Its the bidding company from tv show Shipping Wars. Just like an auction and you pick the best bid.

I've seen cars that were banded down to a skid. Fasten on the body panels, bolt and tape all the stuff together, then band it down. As long as they can get a fork lift to it.

You can wrap it in plastic as well.

Find a local company that has a shipping contract and they might ship it for you under their discount.

We are in the trucking business your best bet is a LTL trucking company. But my guess is if you can get a rate for 800.00 you better take it and a rate of 250.00 is not a good idea you will get hooked and took!!!!!!
