[DeTomaso] NPC:: Looking for reputable car haul MSP to San Jose area.

I just checked and it appears the shipper I used ' Westside Carrozzeria' now
does general shipping not just specialty shipping.

Here is a link to their website:
https://www.wsctransport.net/

As far as I know they only ship enclosed trailer. Their service, for me was
excellent and the price was reasonable but then again, I got that shipping
as a favor. They went out of their way to get my car shipped directly to my
driveway in a very rural area of Michigan.

If the car has yet to be finished - particularly painted - I would save some
money by shipping via an open trailer.

I would gladly recommend the company I used for my Pantera from SoCal to
Michigan but they did that as a favor and normally only ship exotics for
photo shoots, advertising, etc.

One thing I was warned to be wary of was using brokers. I was fortunate to
land with the company I did and never dealt with any brokers. As I
understand it, using brokers can be problematic since not all (maybe none)
of them really stand behind the service by the truckers actually contracted
for the shipping.

If it were me, I would want to go with a company (even if a broker) that
will keep communication lines open so I know when the pickup is to be made,
when it has been made, where it is in transit, how many stops are
anticipated to fill the load, and lastly a continual update of when it will
be delivered.

I would also take as many pictures as possible of the vehicle before
shipping and insist the receiver of the shipping thoroughly inspect
comparing to the pictures I took (or be present myself when delivered - and
go over carefully). You only get one shot at making an insurance claim
should any damage have occurred.

My shipping experience was good and the research I did is now 7 years old so
a lot may have changed in that arena.

All,
Pardon my non-Pantera question.....
Anyone have experience shipping a car from east of the Rockies west?   Need
to move a running rolling project car from Minneapolis to South of San Jose
in about two weeks.

Any info & feedback good/bad would be appreciated!
Thanks,Steve
