Shipping a car from West-East Coast

Can anyone recommend a trucking company to ship a car from Cali to NY?

Should I use a closed truck or is an open truck just as good? Any horror stories about it?

thx

no, it was on a big semi trailer thing, but the shifting was so bad for so long.

Use a closed truck!

My roomate had his Audi trucked from NY to AZ a few years ago. When he purchased the car it was black, when it arrived in AZ it was white. The truck had parked near some ongoing painting and the overspray coated the car. He had to have the car totally waxed and buffed to get the overspray off the paint. On top of that he had to have all the black rubber trim replaced around the windows. There was a huge fight between him, the truckers, and Audi. In the end my roomate got stuck claiming it on his insurance and footing the bill for the deductable.
