I had just received the 1970 Corvette in good condition that I had Amerifreight broker a enclosed transport for on 7-12-2014. I received the car on 8-31-2014 where 3 weeks of this time were spent trying to find a truck that would pick up my car in West Virginia. Due to the remote location of where my car was, I went from $1700 to $3345 in a effort to attract a transport company into picking up my car and shipping it to Portland Oregon. Amerifreight found a company called BATS Motorsport in my area that was heading near the WV area and said they would pick up the car in a couple of days, what they really meant was a couple of weeks. My car was supposed to be picked up 8-7-2014 and delivered 8-22-2014 but was not.

Communication with Amerifreight was good but not so much with BATS. Amerifreight put what pressure they could on the transport but this didn't seem to make much of a difference. BATS did deliver the car over a week late from when it was scheduled to be delivered and they gave me a $200 discount for my inconvenience.

This is what I have learned from this experience:

(1) Get everything in writing, what the truck driver says is not always the whole truth.

(2) Make sure you have the transports itinerary (in writing) for pick ups and deliveries, as this can change as they are adding loads along their route which pushes your car back on the delivery list.

(3) Make sure that the transport company you use has GPS tracking so you can keep track of your delivery.

(4) Check to see if you can broker your own deal with a transport company as this could save you time and money.
