Pricing refreshed monthly based on current carrier rates.
Quotes well below the typical range are almost always bait. The broker holds your booking, then pumps up the price last minute when no carrier accepts the rate.
Insured under federal cargo liability requirements. Coverage is part of the quote, not an add-on.
Your quote is locked for 28 days. Cancel free up to 7 days before pickup.
Most shipments run door to door. If access is tight (narrow streets, low clearance), we will arrange a nearby meeting point.
One percent of every booking funds Clean Air Task Force, a nonprofit working on transport and energy emissions.
Professional service and reasonable price considering they had to winch my car on the trailer.

Shipping out of Chicago is unusually flexible. The city sits at the intersection of every major US freight corridor (I-90, I-94, I-80, I-55, I-65), and carrier supply is dense in every direction. Most outbound shipments dispatch within a few days of booking, even on short notice.
Pricing varies by distance, not by tier rules. A 75-foot multi-car hauler costs roughly the same to operate per day regardless of trip length, so short runs cost more per mile (positioning overhead spread over fewer miles) and long runs cost less. The honest range for open transport from Chicago is $0.50 to $0.95 per mile.
Most pickups happen at your address. In dense neighborhoods like Lincoln Park or Wicker Park, the trailer cannot enter narrow residential streets, and we coordinate a nearby meet point on the confirmation call after booking.
One percent of every booking goes to Clean Air Task Force, a nonprofit working on policy and technology to clean up transport and energy emissions.

Most pickups happen at your home address. In dense city neighborhoods (Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, parts of the South Loop), the trailer cannot enter narrow residential streets. For those addresses, we arrange a nearby meet point on the confirmation call after booking.
You can cancel for free up to 7 days before pickup. After that, the deposit is non-refundable.
Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.
You can leave up to 100 pounds of personal items in one piece of luggage, placed in the trunk or cargo area. Some carriers will accept additional weight for an added fee; we can arrange this for you after booking.
