I contacted AmeriFreight.net as a broker to access bids for various carriers to haul a vehicle 2,500 miles. I couldn't have been happier with their service & with the service of the carrier I selected. Samantha explained the industry & process very well. I received calls & forms & everything went off without any issues. Their fee was well worth what I paid, as AmeriFreight found an excellent carrier I probably would not have found at a price I probably would not have gotten, considering the high gasoline prices at the time. The carrier I selected provided excellent service & kept me appropriately updated. I would recommend AmeriFreight.net, especially if you are busy or have never shipped something before.
The folks at AmeriFreight were easy to work with and found me a driver for a less than routine route. They were fast and efficient door to door. The price was reasonable and lower than some others of the competition. I liked that there was no pressure and no commitment on my part until I was satisfied. I would recommend them to anyone in need of moving vehicles from one state to another.
I was trying to transport an older car and it was big. I called AmeriFreight and they were able to contact somebody right next to me to come pick my car up for me. The quote they gave me was accurate and was a little more than I wanted to pay, but it got me out of my pickle. AmeriFreight's reps were really helpful and then, the rep I worked with was great. They let me park the car at her dad's place. He's got a body shop and they let me park it there for the towed service to come pick it up, which was weird that it worked out like that. So, I had a place to drop the vehicle off and I didn't have to worry about it getting damaged. My car was transported for 400 miles and it took a few days longer, but we were in the middle of a snow and ice storm, and I had them take it to the middle of nowhere. Allin all, they did a good job.

AmeriFreight's quote came in at a favorable number. The customer service was great. It was the winter. A lot of people weren’t going up North. So, there was a bit of problem to find me someone, but they did find me a carrier. And then the day before the carrier was supposed to come, they called me and said that the carrier, the truck through an axle, and he would not be able to get there. So she put the job out immediately again and had already secured me another vendor who would come that day to pick up the car. And he was in Austin, he was coming my way, had one extra slot on his truck. She was wonderful about immediately going out and remedying the situation, not leaving me hanging with no vendor and no truck.
They were very responsive to me. And they were very helpful. We ran up against a big problem, and it could have been a disaster, but they stepped right up and got somebody new for me. That was very good. And the driver that I got was great because he went and met my son in the parking lot of Walmart to drop the car off. And he was there when he said he would be there. They also said to make sure my E-ZPass was not in the car at the time because they don't want it to trigger. Things you have to know. You just send your car off and you don't realize what's going on once it gets on that truck.
It’s important that when you see the quote, to understand that's probably not what you would pay. Because that's the lower end of what they think is going to happen. It depends on if there are carriers available, and the carrier wants to take your job. So if there's no carrier and they have to entice somebody, then the price would go up. If you've got a lot of movement going to that area, or you've got trucks with room and they want the job, they might be a bit more competitive on the price. You're going to end up paying a bit more. Knowing that, you don't get dazzled by a low price. You keep in mind that you want to check reviews, and you would want to ask anybody you know who might have used somebody. Because those are the things that are important. You want to make sure the car is safe when it goes, that the driver has insurance, that your car is appropriately handled.
I listed at least six companies and AmeriFreight seemed to be the most reliable amongst the others when I was looking at the reviews. They were also very responsive and helpful to all my questions. The lady, who was my customer rep, was very honest and straightforward in terms of what can I expect, and I was 100%, very comfortable. She was helpful helping with the shipment of the cargo. She wasn't hiding any costs and she explained to me the whole process. She mentioned to me at the beginning that if the transportation companies are increasing the price then I may need to wait or the prices may go up. She told me that this is based on the current market price, which can go up or even down. In the end, there was a very minimal difference between the quote I got and the price.
The driver called and said to me when I should expect him to arrive to the delivery location. Once he arrived, he called me again that he's here, and I could go pick up the car. He unloaded the car and asked me to sign the paperwork. The Cadillac Escalade was in a very poor condition, but it wasn't transportation company's fault. Unfortunately, the dealership in Colorado Springs left a huge mess in the car. From transportation company's perspective though, they did a good job. There were no additional scratches or dents on the car. I was pleased with the service. I would definitely recommend AmeriFreight for a friend if they want reliable service.
I was very hooked on the fact that using AmeriFreight was so much cheaper than all of the other places I have looked online. Then when I spoke to AmeriFreight about details, they said, “Well, we hope we can get that price.” At first I was like, “Oh **, is this a scam?” But because we had plenty of time and we were under no pressure to be able to ship our cars, we were able to get that inexpensive price. And it happened within a few days. It was great. There was a big problem with the delivery of the car in that the driver who had transported the car had damaged it extensively. However, AmeriFreight was very responsive, as was the driver. The driver took care of it completely. AmeriFreight was responsive in checking in the entire way. And they had excellent customer service.
They're a coordination service. They don't have their own trucks. So they look for all of these drivers who have little spots available on their rigs. So if you can be patient, you can wait for the right rate to come along that matches the price that you're looking for that they initially quote you. And there was enough respect between the driver and AmeriFreight, that the driver wanted to make sure that they were doing right by me in order to maintain the relationship with AmeriFreight, which also says to me that there's a positive relationship going on between the umbrella organization and the contracted drivers.
I looked at three transport companies online as we had two cars that we needed to ship out. I chose AmeriFreight because they got back to me fastest. The transport was under 3,000 miles, from California to Georgia. It was a good haul. The guy that picked our cars up was really nice. We had to get an Uber from the pick-up spot to go back to our house and the guy let me use his Uber in his phone because I was having trouble with the app on my phone. He was great. My son then picked the cars up on this end in Georgia. He overslept and there was a little issue. He called the driver and begged the guy to stay where he was. My son and a couple of his friends drive out and picked up the two cars. The driver was pretty cool about that.
The cars were picked up on the day they were promised to be picked up and everything was delivered on the time. The cost ended up being a lot more than we thought but it wasn't too much of a surprise. They wanted to take the cars a week earlier than we wanted and it would have been cheaper then. But we ended up having the cars taken during the Christmas week and we were told that's one of the most expensive weeks. Overall, AmeriFreight was great and I would recommend them. We have friends moving out to this area in December and they have two cars so we might use them again.
Again Maleah ** came through for me when I bought this Excursion as it was farther than I wanted to drive to get. This is the second time I have used AmeriFreight. Maleah always gets on it quick and finds me a shipper to get to me in a fairly quick matter. The past two times they both were unique vehicles. Both were very Long and take up more than normal on shippers trailers. Thank you again.
Erica was amazing!!! Give her a raise $$$!!! Great customer service and communication! The contractor Jaravus that drove my car down to AZ was amazing as well!!! I feel very comfortable using AmeriFreight in the future if needed and definitely recommend using them!!!
Things went smoothly with AmeriFreight and we'd recommend the company to anyone who needs a similar service like that. I had to call customer service once and everyone was kind. The rep who scheduled everything was on top of it and the driver called me when he was 15 minutes out. We set a location to meet and he was there on time. So, that was a good experience. The quote ended up being a $100 more than the initial quote, which wasn't too bad. It was expensive but I had shopped around and they had the most reasonable offer.
At the beginning it was hard to get in touch with customer service. Nobody would answer the phone. But once you're assigned to a representative it's ok. When I got a quote for shipping my car I bought it. Was $1180 and then ending up paying $2900. I just I got ripped off.
Great service. Very reasonable, even when driver canceled at last minute the team helped me work through it. Would ship with AmeriFreight again 100%. Don’t let that distract you from the fact that the Atlanta Falcons blew a 28-3 lead in the super bowl, ultimately losing to the New England Patriots.
