Typical enclosed transport costs.
What would be a ballpark figure to expect for enclosed transport for a 68 GTO for about 1100 miles? Car is running and driveable, also registered and insured.
Also ... any tips on moving farm equipment. I need to move two tractors, one compact (Ford 1715 with BH and Bucket) approx. 5000 lbs? A Kubota BX2200 about 2000 lbs, various implements, disker, rock rake, Three point mounted wood chipper. Same 1100 mile trip. These items don't need to be enclosed of course.

Trulyvintage or Bill's Auto Works can probably help you with estimates. They've both posted in this section regarding car hauling, send them a PM.

This past March I paid Intercity Lines $2295 to bring a '63 Lemans from Long Beach. Ca. to Beaumont, Tx in a large enclosed eighteen wheeler. Distance was 1636 miles and it took five days after he picked my car up at Tom S place. Inter city was about $200 cheaper than Reliable which many consider the gold standard. Jay Leno uses Intercity and that was good enough for me. Call them and they will give you a quote. There are plenty of haulers cheaper than them.

Hagerty Driver's Club membership has a 10% off cost of hauling with Reliable benefit. I got a Reliable quote. Then joined the Hagerty Driver's Club. Then got another quote from Reliable. Yep. 10% off is legitimate. Saved me a few hundred bucks!

I've got Hagerty Insurance so I'll give that a look.
I was budgeting about $2500 so I'm in the ball park. Probably going to need a tractor/trailer lowboy to move the tractors.

Apples and Oranges
Monday was the best day I have had
this year - for two reasons - the best meal I have ever had was one - my favorite vehicle transport to date was the other …. @ https://youtu.be/BmCVDb8GJa4?feature=shared The actual cost of any service provided depends on the actual scope of the work involved - not just what someone believes is required. In the case of auto transport - no trip involves just the mileage from the pick up to the drop off - mileage is required to get to the pick up location and someone has to pay for it - it is not free. Folks tend to “ think with their wallet “ which is a polite way of saying they view a service as a good - they compare cost per mile without considering type of service. I have been on PY since 2008. I have been operating an actual business since 2006. I couldn’t be in business if I charged the rates quoted by auto transport brokers. Every major carrier is an auto transport broker. Every day I converse with vehicle sellers and prospective buyers and shoppers and owners - the advice I give is based upon what is in their best interest - not mine. 95% of the time I am not what they are looking for - that is the nature of auto transport - most folks do not want to pay for the level of service I provide. This is my actual customer feedback on my website I wrote the code for in 2006 and is comprised of just a sampling of unsolicited and unedited written comments received by some of my actual customers: @ https://www.trulyvintagetrailers.cit...-feedback.html For the OP and everyone else reading this… Deal directly with the person driving the truck pulling the trailer your vehicle will be either on or in - anyone is a salesman who has little or no actual experience providing the service you are looking for.

My situation is probably going to require a rather tight timeline. Probably a one or two month window max where I will own both properties, and can be at both properties for pickup and dropoff.
Moving from NY to TN. NY property is secure, so the car can wait there, property in TN is not secure so I can't move the car there until I am LIVING there. I would be at the pickup location, and then would make the drive to TN at the same time as the car transport to be present for the drop off. What's a typical lead time to schedule a transport?

Weather
We are going into Winter.
In a month or so the driving conditions will dictate wether or not a vehicle can be safely transported. Ideally - like moving household goods it is preferred vehicles be transported when the owner is ready - but in reality unless the weather and a hauler’s schedule cooperates. that isn’t going to happen at a price point and/or timeframe that is ideal for the vehicle owner. Someone moving needs to make arrangements for pick up and drop off of a vehicle so that it available earlier or later than is ideal for them. The best thing to do is get on someone’s schedule and let them build a trip to transport with as much notice as possible. Jim
