I use Passport. Guy that started it was an Alfisti, not sure if he owns it anymore. You're able to track your car via GPS while its being delivered but I'm sure they all do that now.
Whoever you choose, pay the extra bucks and use a professional that hauls $$$$ cars on a regular basis.

I recommend:
Reliable
Recovery Racing (Ferrari of Long Island)
http://recoveryracing.com/
Ted Yearardi (from my detail guy)
http://www.yerarditransport.com/
Recovery shipped my 360 from Long Island. My detail guy suggested Ted if I take winter-spring delivery and want to ship it to him for clear and tint.

Reliable can't pick the car up for 2 weeks. Not going to work.
Horseless Carriage was going to take 4-6 weeks for turn around. No good.
Thomas Sunday would take about 3 weeks for pick up. No good.
Horseless and Sunday both suggested Intercity Lines.
Intercity is able to pick up next week.

Intercity are just the big dogs in this game...they have lots of trucks to ship with and are really good on the East Coast...they are pricier though be forewarned... but they do a good job....pictures when she arrives please...don't make us come looking for you
I used Intercitylines to ship my Giulia QV from Easton PA to Los Angeles in Feb.
They were professional, kept me appraised of the timing and the car came in perfect condition. It did take a bit longer than expected due to weather, but no fault to them. The price was about $100-200 more than some of the other transporters but well worth it.
Here are some picts getting on the truck and getting off the truck.

Thanks Adev.
Admittedly I'm a bit disappointed with Intercity at this time. So I'm going to rant a bit here...
05-Jun-2017:
Called Intercity and was told "pick-up is usually 7-10 from time you make the request for transport." I say great, as we are looking for a pick-up date of 12-Jun-2017 (7 days from my call). I was also told then that it usually takes 3-5 days for transport. I say no problem as long as the vehicle is here by 23-Jun-2017. The pick-up date was more crucial since it would only take 3-5 days to arrive (within our window on or before 23-Jun-2017).
07-Jun-2017:
Purchase is confirmed with dealership so I contact Intercity to tell them we will definitely be ready for pick-up on 12-Jun-2017 and to confirm we are scheduled for that day.
They then drop this nugget on me: we were set to be placed on the scheduling list on Monday, 12-Jun-2017 - and it would be on THAT day the 7-10 day window would begin. WTF? I tell them that isn't going to work because the dealership isn't our storage facility while we wait for pick-up and that is exactly why I said for pick-up on a specific date. They then said they can start us on the 7-10 window now. WTF?
The earliest for pick-up is "maybe" Monday but it looks like any time next week, even as late as Friday.
Tonight, Intercity = FAIL
rant over
I guess I'm just a big a-hole. That has to be it... :frown2:
