looking for transport suggestions
Permalink  

I'm looking into a parts car from the Toronto area.. and I want to ship it home (Calgary).  I've tried Hansens, moveit, and looked into misc. others.  it's a wreck that doesnt run.. but it's worth every penny in parts.  Does anyone know of a flatbed service that would do the trek to calgary?  or if there is some space on another truck.. the seller offered to take the parts off for me.. but I'd rather be the one to destroy something by accident, than have someone else do it.

Well, if you can get it to Winnipeg, I have a couple of ideas to get it to Calgary from there.

I almost used these guys once a few years back and they were waaaay cheaper than anyone else I tried on for a quote..
Not positive if they still do cars or not but there's an online quote request you can try so may be worth giving it a shot?.

When I was in Winnipeg, I had two non-drivable cars that I needed to get back to Barrie, ON. (north of Toronto).
I got on the phone and started calling transport companies, that told me they didn't do it or go there or transport cars etc., , but they thought someone else did and gave me their number. This happened a couple more times, finally got a transport company that could pickup and move both cars that day for $2K.
Needless to say, I was thrilled. Left Winnipeg Monday around 6pm and arrived in Barrie around 7pm Thursday evening.
I'll look for the receipt and post the company info.
