Default Help with shipping cars

Hello All, i have a favor to ask of you. I just got out of the Marine Corps a little less than 2 weeks ago, and had my Z06 and 1971 Plymouth shipped to Arkansas, where i traded a company the Plymouth for a 78 Trans Am. The endpoint is Oregon. Well its been about a week now and I can't get these cars out of there. The guy i'm dealing with is trying to help me get set up, but one company cancelled, and another promised to pick up this week, but that hasn't panned out. I gave the business $1800 to pay for shipping(which i can get back whenever, its just so they could pay a shipper at the start for gas, etc.)

So i need some help guys. Anybody know a company or a way to try and get these picked up. I can pay more than the $1800, but honestly maybe a couple hundred more is all. Any advice would be great

Have you tried Angels Moving Autos',Dependable Auto Shippers or Reliable transportation? It will take a while with anyone, as you are not on a major traffic pattern. You may want to try a household goods carrier, as they could use your car to fill out a partially loaded van; E.G. Allied, North American, United or Mayflower.. Whatever agency is in the city the car is in (Arkansas)

Good luck.

Whatever you do avoid Dependable Auto Shippers (DAS). They shipped a car for me, damaged it and refused to pay for all of the damage. Do a quick search and you'll here a ton of horror stories about them.

I highly recommend Horseless Carriage.

Can you find a buddy to fly down there and road trip back up?

Best of luck and thanks for your service!
