Paid $425 to ship my Civic from Phoenix to Portland and the driver called me at 6am to say he was an hour out
I was so stressed about this move that I almost went with a broker who quoted $300 less, but a coworker talked me into a company with actual trucks instead of subcontractors. The driver showed up when he said he would, took 3 days, and the car rolled off with zero new scratches. For anyone who has done this route, does $425 sound about right or did I overpay?
$425 for that route honestly sounds pretty normal, maybe even on the cheaper end. Phoenix to Portland is like 1400 miles so you're talking about less than 30 cents a mile for door to door service. The fact that the driver actually called you and showed up on time is worth way more than saving a few bucks with some broker who farms it out to whoever. Everyone stresses over the quote but the real gamble is whether your car shows up beat to hell or not. You did fine, stop second guessing it.
