I am in the process of purchasing a 2005 Suburban 2500. The truck is in 85050 and I'm in 14086. I am debating flying and driving it home but from the estimates I've gotten to ship, there is not much difference in price to just have it trucked back via a shipper. 

What service/broker is everyone using to get a car shipped via open trailer? I don't need anything fancy - just reliable, inexpensive transport. 

Thanks!

Amen to that!

Just tell her Steve sent you.  They've done so many cars for me that she knows me right away.

Thanks guys. I reached out to them and left a VM a half hour ago. 

This is my first time shipping a vehicle and the experience has been interesting. I googled a bunch of companies (broker services) and entered my basic information and have been receiving texts, calls, and voicemails almost nonstop. Some of the seemingly more reputable companies sent an email and a follow up or two. Needless to say I can't wait to block most of these numbers once I get this thing back home. 

Quotes have ranged from $875 on the low end, to a typical $1550, all the way up to 1800-2100 on the high end.

You should be able to name your price, as shippers of any type are quite hungry right now (so long as you pay enough for expensive fuel).  Ain't no freight out there . . .

On the other hand, fly and drive can be a great adventure.
