Recommendations for shipping Van Interstate?

Need to get our van from the San Francisco Bay are over to Colorado Camper Van in Loveland, CO. around the end of February. Could also make arrangements to on-board the van in Reno, if it is substantially cheaper than starting from SF.

Does anyone have recommendations for flat bed service? 2002 Extended Cargo. Appreciate any help/advice. Thanks!

Be sure to read Jage's thread about who not to use.

Re: Recommendations for shipping Van Interstate?

Hey Ray-

In 2013 I purchased a Van online from Future Ford of Sacramento, sight unseen. They (the dealer - Future Ford) arranged for transport to Salt Lake City. They originally said it was going to be $1000, but I negotiated it down to $600. It arrived unscathed and on time, plus the driver was a nice guy.
I don't remember the shipping company name, but you can contact Future Ford and they'll help you out. Good Luck

Phil

The wide and I will be in Moab and the end of Feb, then down to Las Vegas to pick up a 1941 Willys that we bought last year.
Then we are driving back to Minnesota.

1) we can tandem and drop you off at Denver International.
2) drop it for for you
3) there will be other SMB owners in the group.
4) there are 4-5 other trustworthy folks that would drive from Moab........(older business owners on a MTB trip of the white rim.)

Just offering.

Drive it, enjoy a quick trip and let somebody drop you off.

Who cares about the miles.

Dear god, I hope that was a case of seriously bad typing or seriously bad auto correct. Don't let you wife see your post!
