Get yourself a "Hemmings Motor News" Magazine, it will have have plenty of car haulers listed that meet your requirements.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

My only experience was shipping my daughter's truck to her at her first duty station when she was in the army. Shipped from Cincy to El Paso TX. That was in 2005, so no recent experience. Used a company called Dependable Auto Shippers. https://dascarshippers.com/ ; They did a good job. It was just on a traditional car carrier, not an enclosed trailer. |

Familiar with a onetime experience moving a vehicle from Bozeman, MT to Dallas TX. The company is called Roadrunner which I think is a booking/broker type operation. Anyway, not enclosed and was a 5th wheel flat bed. Move was fine.

right now the shipping cost are more than CRAZY ! With diesel over $5.00 costs have gone up to where you might be able to do it yourself cheaper . Just took 2 snow plows and delivered for my son - 1 to Indiana other to Ohio and brought back a Motorcycle for him . Shipper wanted $600 for each for the plows and quote on shipper from Ohio to here wanted $900 to ship bike . I did the trip for him and made the $1200 as cycle was 40 miles from last delivery . My gas costs I still have not figured in but figure I came out with $500 or so for my 3 days
Fly out , rent a U-Haul and drive back might be less , and could haul some of her things in tow vehicle

Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel.

Google shipping/ hauling cars- theres a load board its like a bidding deal - had a 70 Roadrunner hauled from Washington state - to Mo 35 hour trip, foreign driver and a dang good worker, enclosed car hauler , last year $1250 - they lost money on that deal , but I tipped the driver good !

I would let the transport company know this. Drive on the trailer =$$, loading a “roller” =$$$$, loading a “non-roller” (flat tires,etc…) =$$$$$$$. They might even refuse to pick it up if it doesn’t move under its own power.

I had to help a landlord find a place for his cousins cars to get safely unloaded after 3 inch rain over night. They came out of a family barn in Iowa to California. They where early 1950's with tires that held air from barn to barn. The trucker mostly hauled cars, or maybe only cars on a open trailer with room for 3. Had his winch hook points for loading and unloading nothing to it with his winch. But it was his living so I am sure you payed for the service.
