Help - in need of car transport

Looking for a reputable hauler for enclosed transport of a car I just purchased. It seems impossible to find anyone reputable.

Any help would be appreciated - P/U in IL and deliver to NJ.

I used Uship.com to find my shipper. I purchased a motorcycle in spring of 2009 from NH and had it shipped to NC. I looked through all of the bids, read the feedback on each shipper, and picked the one that I felt was the best combination of price and service.

Uship was awesome and I highly recommend them.

Thanks guys!
Told ya they rock! I had about 7 or 8 shippers bid on my job, found a guy who used a system that clamped the wheels in with no straps. In other words, minimal touching on the bike. Enclosed trailer, etc. Reviews were good, pricing wasn't the cheapest, but it was below the average of the bids. Used that company and they were phenomenal. Everything was as stated, pickup date was dead on, and it even arrived half a day early And all thanks to Uship

Good luck and take more pics when you get it!!

Before UShip, Everyone was quoting two weeks delivery. Once I put up the listing, I was swamped with responses. The carrier I used wasn't the cheapest, but he's picking up tomorrow and I'll see the car by Monday!
