Yes, Reliable Carriers did a great job in transporting several vehicles to the Packard Proving Grounds this year.
https://www.reliablecarriers.com/ BTW, 250 miles is not a long trip. Maybe you should ask someone in your local Packard club with trailering experince about making a "roadtrip" of it. You might get it done a lot cheaper and have a story to tell.

Recommend contacting the carrier directly and not go through a broker. Usual charge is about a buck a mile for a covered transporter. Any of the major national shippers (Passport, InterCity, Reliable, etc.) should be good. Shop around for one with the scheduling that best suits your schedule. JWL

I used United Routes and had no issues. Also had a friend that used them as well and no issues.

I had a car shipped from California to Connecticut with Thomas C. Sunday. Delivery was great with no issues.

Thank you for your help. This will make it easier to get the car home in the middle of winter.

======================================================= I couldn't disagree more. Steve has the right idea - given the amount of salt so many "snow-country" highway depts. dump on their roads. One thing has changed over the years "for the better" - vastly superior corrosion-proofing when the cars were new. Our cars don't have that. Even with modern corrosion proofing, cars in the snow-belt suffer horrific permanent damage - just not quite as fast. And who cares ? Arent they just throw-away cars anyway. Different situation with our Packards - we may technically "own" them, but aren't we really just "custodians"...especially, if we are as lucky as Steve who says he has a nice one ! Even ONE drive with salt sprayed all over the car is not good. Starts the corrosion process. Best thing you can do, if you HAVE to drive a car on salted roads, is THOROUGHLY steam clean it - and I mean THOROUGHLY....after EVERY salt-infested drive. But "the cure is worse then that disease". Well, not exactly - but the fact is, steam cleaning, meaning injecting really hot water under pressure into every part of the underside, is not good either. Steve has the right idea - only thing wrong about his post is he didn't post us a picture !
