I like haulbikes dot com. They specialize in transporting motorcycles and ATVs so you won't have to put your Conquest on a pallet or prepare it in any special way. The Conquest is a large vehicle and I'm sure they are going to bill you for double oversize. I just checked on shipping a Conquest from Missouri to Oregon and it was almost $1000. |

I tried Uship.com a few months ago. You set up a profile and list what you want shipped. Independant transporters can read your listing, bid on your shipment and send a quote. It took a while to set up the profile and enter the shipment information. It was free. I had mixed results and only received two bids, both of which I declined because they were too high. It was not the site fault, they just provide the avenue for the shipper and transporter to get together. |

I used Guffy Transport out of Tenn. I was quoted one price and then upon arrival, COD of course, they had uped the COD price without notifing me. So I had to come up with an extra 50 bucks. Don't think I'll be using them again...for anything.
Guffy Transport, you may have screwed me on the transport cost, but I'll have the last laugh through numerous web postings on your behalf. |
