Default Shipping Helpp!!

Trying to get fast pickup of car going from Milan Indiana to San Antonio and another back to Indiana, anyone know of any shippers who respond really quick? normal shippers take 14 days or more. should be some custom shippers out there. I know that it will be pricey but need to get it done as soon as possible. Any help will be greatly appreciated thanks

Horseless Carriage. Just used by my neighbor for a CE Lincoln LSC from San Antonio to Asheville, NC. Cost was about $1200 but the service was very fast and the car was in a 'covered carrier' , not an open trailer. Also Plycon is good but may be a tad more expensive. They also were pretty quick and in a 'covered carrier' with cars like Maybachs and Porsches. The price from Nebraska to Asheville, NC was $1400 about two years ago. Both should be easily found on the internet with a search. Two good experiences that may be of some help. Whatever you do, don't go cheap and make sure you ask if the company 'brokers' or 'contracts' out the service. Hang up as fast as possible if they do. You'll get 'foreigners' hauling your car on an open trailer being pulled by a smoke bellowing old pickup truck.
