    unless you want to spend a premium on shipping most shippers are just brokers. There are companies that have their own trucks, but you will pay quite a bit more. I shipped a truck from Sacramento Ca to Houston for 925. Cheaper then I could have drove it.

    Just go on line to one of the shipping review sites, pick one and go with it. Get a few quotes and go from there. Pretty easy to do. Will cost extra if the truck doesnt run.

    I used a web site called U-Ship. You list what you have to move and fill in the from and to portion and drivers bid on your load. I've done that with a couple of trucks and had good results. I spent about the same as maskale to get one from Calif. to Arkansas.

    I bought mine from a guy in Indiana and had it FedEx shipped to Florida. Arrived on the back of a lowboy. Cost me in the upper $900s and the time.
