We had to send the car back to the dealership in Georgia and Sequoia did a really great job for us. Highly recommended!!!
Professional service and reasonable price considering they had to winch my car on the trailer.
It is a really professional company, and the service was great, and we also really value the environmental contributions they are doing. Thank you guys!! Will move my car again with you ❤️

California loads this lane from two places: the Los Angeles basin and San Diego in the south, the Bay Area in the north. Both feed onto I-10 eastbound through Phoenix, Tucson, El Paso and Houston before dropping into Florida. I-10 stays south of the weather. That is why eastbound dispatch here holds steady in months when the northern cross-country lanes are slowing down.
Most pickups happen at the home address, and inland or suburban California loads without any fuss. The exceptions are the steep parts of San Francisco and the permit-restricted blocks of older Los Angeles, where the driver proposes somewhere nearby with room to load.
Florida deliveries run smoothly across the major metros, with gated communities the usual reason a driver meets you at the entrance rather than the door. Hurricane season, June through November, is the one stretch that moves schedules: a storm tightens coastal delivery windows for a few days while traffic routes around it, then clears.
Los Angeles to Miami is about 2,740 miles: four long days of driving, $350 to $450 in gas, three or four hotel nights, and meals for the trip, close to $1,000 in cash before counting the wear. Shipping that lane runs $1,400 to $1,600 and costs none of your days. At this distance most people ship the car and fly. Enclosed stays the exception at 40 to 70% above open, and fewer enclosed trailers run in any given week, so it also takes longer to schedule.
