Thumbs up Alex w/ Quickway

Who the trucking outfit is, is kinda like who is the owner of a heavy aircraft is in the aviation business! But this is how it broke down in my case:

Broker: Daniel Terpak w/ Total Car Shipping in Miami. Great fellow to talk with. He got $200 from me by credit card after securing a driver.

Dispatched Carrier: Rotchars Auto Transport. Contact name Alex 423-443-9796 ($0)

Pickup & Delivery was by a different Alex and the truck name was Quickway, Newcastle, WA. I tried to google Quickway in Newcastle and could not find anything. But this Alex was the guy that picked up the car in WA and delivered it here to me on the same 9 car hauler and was very polite and professional. I would try and use him again. And I would try to do it direct thru Rotchars and save the $200 broker fee if possible. I paid Alex $875 in cash. This was Door to Door, Richland, WA to Crestview, FL. ( 2,600 miles ) No way could I have done it myself for $1075!

The whole process took about 12 days, four of those was waiting for a driver to "bite", and was painless for me. I was kept informed of the process as it happened. Best of all, and most important, the car arrived in the same condition it left in!!! There was a mixture of vehicles on the carrier, nice drivers (like mine), restored, late model, and wrecked!
