Shipping recommendations AZ - CT

Hi all,

I just bought a 71 K series suburban whooo hooo!

It’s in running condition but I will need to ship it from AZ to CT. If anyone has any recommendations on shippers with fair pricing please let me know. I will post up pictures when it arrives. Excited to use it as my dadmobile with our two boys.

Thank you!

hi,i'm going through this now and have been for a few months trying to get my truck from Utah to Maine and if it got to the border,i could get my hands on it and bring it home to Nova Scotia.i've always just gone and got whatever i've bought and hauled it home myself but with the covid mess and the border between Canada and the US closed,i couldn't go.i've learned that most of these people are middle men,brokers who take the work and then try to find someone to do it.i had my truck on u-ship.com for a bit after that was recommended.a couple of guys priced it,i gave them,one at a time the go-ahead,then they could never get the job done.then the guy i bought the truck from in Utah,put it something called central dispatch.nobody came through after waiting weeks.now i'm working now with a guy,Andrew Stall at Cruise Control Carriers,another broker but he has been excellent.i have called him and or emailed late into the evening,he's right back in no time with an answer.the plan is to pick up the truck tomorrow and have it Maine next Tuesday.if you want his number,i'd be happy to get it to you.Greg

Thank you both!

I was able to schedule transport, now just playing the waiting game. Guess it also gives me time to plan the tweaks I'd like to make when it arrives.
