There is a difference between some of these companies. Reliable and Intercity run company owned trailers with drivers who own their own rigs (it's all about how taxes work, they are contractors, but exclusive to those lines.) Some of the others are "brokers" and pair a shipping request with a shipper, and in almost all cases you will have little or no choice about who transports your vehicle. It could be a full sized carrier like Intercity/Reliable use, or it could be a single or double trailer behind a pick up truck. Some people have had good luck with the broker arrangements, but I know others that have not, and so far, those satisfied with Reliable and Intercity outnumber broker-users. Brokers will tend to be cheaper, but in my opinion, carry higher risk.

Do your homework.
