Car shipping company?

Anyone know of any car shipping companies? I need my car shipped back before May 18th from Texas to Cali and the company I used to use (EZ Hauling Inc) changed phone numbers and haven't updated their site.

They are more of a broker that finds an actual shipping truck to pick up the car, which is different every time.

If any of you know of any other companies, or better yet an actual person who picks up cars for dealerships etc that you have the number of, that would be awesome.

It is kind of last minute so I am starting to freak out a little bit.

Thank you!

Call http://www.initiallogistics.com/ and ask for Mike. I've shipped about 7 vehicles with them and he's treated me well. They are a broker as well but usually get things shipped quickly.

Do not use a company called G&M Transport!!! They fugggged up a car of mine...

You got it!

I should clarify, the G&M I'm talking about are based in OR. I checked and there are a few companies by that name across the U.S. and I don't want to give bad reviews to the wrong company.

These guys are great, I've used them for four shipping jobs before. A few other i-Clubbers have had good experiences with them too.

Thanks for all the places, a few people I have called will not let me have anything in the car which is bad because I have to fit most of the crap thats in my apartment in it.

I've done it before even when they said I am not allowed to but a few places I called today said I absolutely could not have anything in it
