car transport help

I need a car transported..and heres the rub..its just a roller...it steers and has tires that holds air..easy to load and unload,but because its a roller, i'm having troubles finding transport...seems its too much "work"....weird thing is ive had over 2 dozen hauled in the past..but now its an issue..and my 2 guys have both passed...

its in Medford Oregon 97501 near the Oregon/California border...delivered to Kansas City Ks metro...i'm very flexible

the car is an A-body..

can anyone recommend anyone? open transport is fine..the car will be ready to go in 30-45 days..but can go longer if its a schedule thing..but cant really happen sooner

One option i have used for project cars(Not concerned about a s scratch or two) Is a Transport service co. These co. put your transport out to bid with all the pertinant info. Two Ex. Crossover auto Transport and Mcnutt Auto transport are two i have used in the past with good success.

Funny you say nobody wants the roller job. I can see that, as the collector car auctions are booming and so isn't car transporting so the market is theirs now and they can pick and choose.

Good Luck

hope you find some independent...seems like a lot of these places might cite a ''liability'' insurance factor to have to push a car (injury/damage etc)

When I hauled on USHIP I didn't mind the NON RUNNER, had a winch and can usually get e few more $$ for Rollers.

Three years ago I used Montway Transportation here in the Chicago area. They are brokers but had no issues at all. The car I bought was from Kansas, the transporter was from Indiana. Was kept informed from day one and in fact the car arrived approximately 1 day earlier than it was supposed to. Hope this helps !
