Shipping across country need input

I bought a 64 Dodge A100 pickup in Alpine, Calif 91901 that I need shipped to Clinton, Ohio 44216. Its a $5000. ride so an open transport is fine.
Has anyone shipped a car, and who work out good? I've got quotes from $730-1400. Theres so many internet transpot companys its mind numbing.
Who would you trust:affraid:  you might say fly out drive back...well the dodge has a bad head gasket ( reason price was right)
Any input will help.

HELLO the BEST and MOST reliable and I have used before is Pass Port Transport..... ( formally Fed ex transport ) either enclosed or open trailer witch ever you want. And I have used U ship also not the best but will get the job done.!!!!!!!!!!!!

u ship or contact any freight carrier & ask! Usually will only run 1000-1200.00 There is one close to me in montana that travels to calif & all over too Yet plenty will be looking 4 buisness & to fill a load .

I found a great, independent guy through uShip- Based out of Va. but is nationwide.

I know what you mean- there are thousands of companies out there, linked to other companies and so on, but Tom was awesome, and easy to chat with- the ONLY concern I'd foresee is height clearance (he's enclosed) but at the time he didn't consider it a problem. He was shipping a car for me and I mentioned my van....
he's worth checking out.

I've had 2 cars shipped from Cali. to Tx. and Co. to Tx. using DAS. No problems, on time ect. BUT, if you read their reviews they suck bad. Might just come down to luck getting good drivers who care.

All i can add to this is to make sure the carrier does not tie the front end down by way of the front axle. it will bend or they will bend it . Instead use the frame just behind the body at the front bumper. hope that makes sence... congrats to you on your new toy...

Magic Carpet did a great job from Reno to Ga. for me, good to work with for about 1,350.00 open carrier picked it up in 4 days and another 4 days it was here. Keep you in the know every step. Check'um out

That is an option...I don't mind storing at my house temporarily. However, there may be some tempting replacement parts on there for me...Totally just kidding. Mi casa is su casa...
