Jeep Shipping
« on: June 12, 2012, 01:51:21 PM »
Anyone know of a good way to get a TJ to Ontario? Looked into a few companies by rail and waiting on a quote by transport truck. Anyone have experiences (good/bad) with cross Canada shipping of vehicles? Any creative, less expensive solutions?
So far inquired to Livingston (searail), L Hansen, TFX, Autorail...
Calgary - Windsor (or area)

I used Hansen Forwarding before.. shipped a Car from Montreal to Calgary. I was pleased with the service.

note: never put anything valuable in the vehicle you are shipping. The cargo might not be there when you pick it up at destinations.

Spinal guy: I was thinking that, but its like 1500 for the truck alone not including gas...might as well drive it :P

SwampSinger: Good to hear. And yes, I've heard that sometimes people go to pick up their car and its unlocked on purpose so that when it sits in rail yards people dont 'have to' break a window to get in....oh what a comforting thought

I used these guys to ship my Jeep from Ottawa to Calgary. http://www.fasttracks.net/
I think it was around 900 plus the fees they threw on.  All said and done it was $1200.  Not a scratch on the TJ when I picked it up.  That included a tow truck picking it up from the house.  It took like 14 days to get here though.
