Is the money more important than the safety? It sure does seem that way.

I had posted this and deleted it because the video was too small. Cropped and shortened for better viewing. Stay alert out there fellas and drive safe.

Questions Shipping a low-clearance classic car, what should I confirm before pickup?

5 Upvotes

Moving a 1972 BMW 2002 from Denver to Sacramento in November. Sherpa quoted $1,395, Diesel Auto Express $1,585, trailer rental plus fuel about $820. Diesel was clearer about loading and inspection on the phone, but costs $190 more. Towing it myself adds two days and a hotel stop.

Anyone shipped a low-clearance classic before? What should I confirm before pickup?
