I don't use transporters very often but have used Ready Logistics through Manheim a few times without incident although the drivers barely speak English and ask for more money on delivery. I need to ship a car coast to coast, and checking their Google reviews makes me nervous. Should they be avoided? Any other companies to consider?

I have used both AutoSled and Montway for personal vehicles multiple times. I shipped my old Porsche and my old X5 from Virginia to California using Montway - 2 different transactions, years apart. My last vehicle purchase was from Arkansas to Vermont, and I used AutoSled for that. Then, my wife had hers shipped from Maryland to Vermont.

The last two were my first times dealing with a non-English-speaking driver. Conversation and handling were handled via a call center elsewhere. We got it done smoothly.
 

✨ AI Highlights

A dealer asks for transporter recommendations for coast-to-coast shipping, expressing concern about Ready Logistics based on Google reviews and experiences with drivers requesting extra payment on delivery. Alex Snyder points to an existing DealerRefresh thread on the topic and recommends both Montway and AutoSled based on multiple personal shipments, noting that non-English-speaking drivers are manageable when a call center handles communication.
