I would have thought you were the king of shipping with all the cars you go through. Wish I could help.

Have you tried Exotic cat transport? That company is based out of Orlando. Most shippers are busy for the Hot Rod power tour this month.

Horseless Carriage picked up a 68 I just sold a few days ago in San Antonio. There aren't many willing to go too South but these guys did.

These guys are local to me, I've never used them but my dad had a truck brought back from south Florida a couple year ago with no problems and they were affordable.

Consider Robert Lowe of Lowe Marr Transport. He moved my car from Phoenix to St. George and did a great job!

Last November, I was having a hard time finding transport for my car even though everybody and their brother were hauling cars through Phoenix on their way to SEMA. Rob stepped up and was very responsive. His is a small private company so you'd be supporting the little guy.

Also, I had a hard time finding a carrier (even the big companies) who would insure the car for its value during the transport. Not so with Rob.

Two thumbs up!!

His contact info is:
(877)221-5693 dispatch
(801)362-8127 cell
(877)646-7480 fax

A friend of mine posted this on his facebook page, he lives near Tampa. Not sure of the route of truck, but if it has to go through Pensacola, Fla. There has been 15 to 20 inches of rain fallen in 24 hours in Pensacola.
