FHT Transport did an excellent job tranporting my vehicle from Thousand Oaks, California, to Radford, Virginia. They sent a small truck to pick it up in Thousand Oaks because the road to the house was uphill and would not allow the bigger truck in the residential neighborhood. There was also a steep hill getting up to the home.
Once my truck was loaded, I was notified by someone with FHT that my car was loaded and provided the estimated day of delivery. They then called me about 3 days before the day of delivery to determine a physical address where their driver would be able to meet me for the pick up. It had to have at least 2 lanes each way. We determined the delivery would be at the nearest Walmart. She then said that my name and phone number was provided to the driver and he would call me in the next day or two to give me an update as to where he was and his estimated time of arrival.
The driver called me 2 days before arrival to let me know he was in Mississippi and that he would arrive the next day at midnight. The next day, he called to confirm his arrival, and also where to meet the following morning at 7:00am at the Walmart parking lot.
He was there right on time and was already working to take my car off his transport when we arrived.
FHT Transport did an excellent job with this transport. It was in mid June, 2011. What people must understand is there is a lot of uncertain when it comes to getting your car shipped across the country, particularly with weather conditions, traffic, etc. In my case, there were no problems or delays. If there had been, I would still give an excellent recommendation to any trucking company who followed through and called me on estimated arrival, etc. and kept me posted at all times.
These guys work hard and it is not an easy task driving cars or any cargo across the country.
In my case, the weather conditions were perfect and most of the cars on the transport were headed for Virginia or Maryland. That is the other variable to consider when waiting to get your car picked up, which is why it helps to go through a broker who will put your bid on a docket to be picked up by a transport company headed where you want to ship your car.
FHT Transport and Aaall States Auto Transport did an excellent job with getting my car across the country. And now that I plan to return, I plan on using them again.
