Truck Flat

Bedding planes of a pickup truck from Florida to Michigan, the approximate costs?
I would like my Ford F150 pickup truck, put into a truck flatbed and shipped to Michigan from SW Florida. Anyone have any idea what it might cost, etc? My car is a 1995 F150 XLT with a cap, small V8, with 73,000 miles on the rebuilt engine.
Any particular reason you are looking for a flat bed rather than a company car? I ask, is that if one was transported flatbedder automobiles, which are usually desperate for freight. Most flatbedders in search of a cargo of Florida * are * desperate for loading ….. BUT as only 2-3 cars can be transported in a truck, usually requires a higher rate per car to pay for fuel. Most emptying flatbedders Deadhead FL GA in and to collect a better paying load floor. If you find any willing to carry the car all the way to Michigan, which bet on the type of car would be quite steep. Fuel prices are ridiculous right now, and most companies and owners / operators are not playing with things that do not pay. A transport car on the other hand, can carry at any Place 6-10 cars and therefore can carry a slightly cheaper rate per car. I used to haul cars Michigan to California and Florida, and a pickup with a topper, probably in the vicinity of 1100-1200 by dollars. Google "auto shippers" or "auto transport" and see what happens. You could find a better price, especially this time of year as there are a lot of business going at Snowbird for transport from the south, etc. There is a company called "DAS", one of the largest shippers/brokers- they often have a very decent price. Few things to be prepared for if you send your car, industry and the standard shipping time can range from 5 days to 2 weeks if you pay the standard rates. I seen lead times longer, if there is bad weather or breakdowns on the road. Beware of an agent that offers a drastically cheaper price which all other-that no one wants to transport cheap car for your car could sit longer waiting for transport if "cheap" .- If time is of essence, you have to pay a higher rate "express" and find a company that guarantees * * determinado. delivery within a time-Do not pack any of his belongings personal vehicle. Take anything of value of the car. The shipping company is not responsible for any loss or damage caused by the change of articles of all the car during the transporte. "A lot of cars pulling is done (on the side of the industry) through websites such as Central Dispatch.com. You can pay a company (eg, DAS, for example) a fee of $ 1,100, and the DAS can not have one of their own trucks available to transport it. DAS will CentralDispatch your car to when an independent company that bid on their vehicle for transportation. So your car can not * really * be transported by the company that previously paid. This is normal and should not pay off adicional. "Sometimes money is not expected to pay in advance the overall rate, but will have to offer" pay-back " when you receive your car in Michigan. Cash payment is usually only accepted in these cases, call ahead and ask if you want to pay with a cashier's check or money postal.-Be prepared to walk a short distance from his house to meet the driver and pick up your car. Few companies can guarantee * * door to door unless willing to pay more. Car carriers full size tractors 18 trucks, about 14 feet tall, with very limited ground clearance (trailers walk less than a standard car and you can get high centered very easily). Every effort will be made to get your vehicle as close to home as possible, but if your house is in a typical residential area, may be impossible. In general, if a shopping center, mall or Walmart near you the driver can make arrangements with you there. With your permission, you can even drive the car home, and choose to take it back to the truck, without any charge. Sorry this is so long
…. as I said, I had a job hauling cars of people from Michigan to California and Florida, and these are some things that many people were not prepared for! If you send your car in support of the above is the industry standard! Good luck!
