Don't have experience with trans-continental vehicle transport but as part of an old job one task I had was "drive this truck from Utah to North Carolina.. work there for a few weeks then drive this van back to Utah". Certainly cheaper than designated shippers for a company...
As a consumer I'd assume there are hotshot truckers/services that would be used for this? People have mentioned similar "agent oriented" experiences with moving services and how it's opaque and unreliable.
- TylerE 3y agosometimes, but they mostly get put on a transporter like any new car. If it’s something valid able (claaaic car, race car, etc) they’ll usually sprint for an enclosed hauler, which is am several times more expensive
- bombcar 3y agoThis is the actual problem, because transporter trucks are almost always just used to bring a group of vehicles to a dealership from a rail depot. The ones carrying cars across the country for moves are quite rare, unscheduled, and harder to find. They also can't carry anything else besides cars on the transporters - you might almost have better luck driving your car into the back of a box semi and letting them load other LTL loads behind it.
- jabroni_salad 3y ago'Dealer trades' are pretty common now. If you want a very specific car it might be the only way to get it these days since the used market is so anemic. My local dealer somehow got a lead that I want a very specific year and trim GTI and twice now they have offered to bring one in for me.
