Has anyone had dealings with All American Auto Transport out of BETHESDA, MD 20814? They seem to be saying the right things.

No but if you are looking for good a good reliable transporter contact Joe Ja kubus at jjakubus@yahoo.com or call him at 734-837-1118.

He has transported two cars for me and two for a friend here on the board. He also transports all of Chuck Stoddards car.

Joe is the man, reasonable, careful and reliable.

Tell Joe, Joe Annicelli says hello.

Good luck

thanks, Joe had very limited availability on west coast so timing does not work.

I've used "Reliable" 5 times... 3 in the last year. NO issues, pricing was right.

My advice is be careful. I have an enclosed transportation company I have used twice and they have been great. I have had 4 cars hauled from MT, 2 have been terrible 2 have been good.

I think I am going to use Fed-X, they are enclosed, hopefully the company name is worth something and they were about $100 more than most other enclosed quotes so seems worth it to me.

FYI 2 cars enclosed from Los Angeles to Austin is $2,500. I did find open transport for around $650 each. $0 deductible insurance and $100k agreed value per vehicle total loss.

Like so many other services in life it ultimately comes down to the individual person, driver in this case, that makes the difference. Most of those enclosed carrier trucks are pretty much the same, at least from the more popular recognized names so it really doesn't matter if it says FedEx, InterCity, Horseless Carriage or Thomas Sunday on the outside. What matters instead is whether it is Manny, Moe or Jack (and hopefully it is none of them) on the inside.

This is, unfortunately something you really can't control. I have had very good experience with InterCity Lines (3 times) but have heard others say they waited long times for pick ups. You need to look at the calendar too as big Barrett Jackson, Amelia Island, Pebble Beach size shows will definately affect schedules for these guys.

I'd say you would likely be well served by FedEx Custom Critical (formerly Passport). Just keep your fingers crossed for a competent driver.

One last thing, and I think all of the big premium carriers promise this; don't let the carrier switch your car from one truck to another mid-trip. I remember reading a story about a guy whose car, going west to east was off loaded in Texas and sat for a couple of weeks in the parking lot of a truck terminal. Regardless of who you use, I'd still be sure to ask that question.

thanks Ed for that excellent advice I will ask for sure. Hopefully that won't occur from CA to TX. Yes it really does come down to the individual driver and thats why I hope at least Fed-x might have bit better hiring policy/training for their drivers

I recently used Passport/Transport. I contacted FedEx, which I believe bought out Passport/ Transport. Excellent enclosed transport at a good price. Their as is in Hemmings. I spoke with a guy named John. The number is 1 800 325 4267. My drivers were Dave and Debbie Brewer and they were absolutly perfect. Great experience.
