    My experience with Joe from Ultimate Transport 123 was great. He organized the transportation of my truck from Baltimore to CT. Communication was very good. I was expecting the truck by the end of the week, but he organized everything on the same day of the contract, 3 days before from what I was expecting. Didn’t have any issues and it was as easy as how they say; 1,2 & 3. I have my truck in one piece! I will definitely use them again if needed. Thank you Joe.

    You have to keep in mind these are brokers so they are only middlemen that find drivers. They have no control of the driver quality. The communication was very good, they kept me updated on finding a driver and they were able to find a driver for the price I was looking for. The car was delivered safely with no damage.

      We were impressed from the initial telephone conversation! An “etched in stone” price was quoted and Ultimate Transport cooperated with our schedule for pickup and delivery. Our car arrived on the date promised and, except for road dust, arrived in great shape. We highly recommended!

      Called Ultimate Transport (Brian 888-885-9123 ext **) as I needed to transport a Case TR320 Tracked Skid Steer loader 175 miles from Reno. As unit weighs 9600 lbs I am unable to transport in myself. On 10/1/24 won unit at RENO Auction (Bidadoo). On 10/2 signed papers and made down payment with Brian. On 10/3 trucker (Horizon Transport) was assigned and Driver Dispatched. On 10/4 unit was picked up and delivered to me. There was NO damage. Driver transported unit on a auto rack with no ramps, we were able to drive unit off onto a raised dirt berm, backing tail of auto rack up to the berm. The auction site Bidadoo didn't want to give driver a key but he insisted - key was needed to load and unload unit.

      I was mainly worried about Bidadoo but once I sent them a copy of the Horizon Transport Bill of Lading and told them on 10/3 that driver would be there 10/4 they were OK with It. This is my first experience with Ultimate Transport and they (Brian) were just fine. As to Bidadoo (1 - Defective unit would not start, 2- I picked up unit in Sparks, 3- this unit won on 10/1). I am still nervous about them but that is a story for another time.

      10/10 star experience!!! The car transport world is tough to navigate. I first went with Nexus - which was a big mistake - Jerry stayed persistent texting me that I was still on the board, no driver, etc - at first I thought he was crazy until - NO one showed up … So I decided to give Jerry a shot. I told him he had 2 days to get me the car … Guess what - it showed up in 1!!!! Absolutely amazing service from beginning to end … ! Thanks again Jerry! I’ll be recommending to all friends family and clients who are needing auto transport!!!

      Ultimate Transport 123 hauled my 2020 Jeep Gladiator from Indiana to Florida. It arrived right when they said it would, and in perfect condition. I will use them again to ship it back to Indiana in the spring.

      Had car shipped from Kansas to Montana. Car arrived in timely Manner. Driver had a bit of difficulty unloading the car. The car was not running and had to be offloaded manually. Driver used a strap and wheel chock to roll car back. It worked for the front half of the trailer. Towards the back where the incline of trailer started, Driver lost control of the car when it bounced over the wheel chock, and it free rolled down the trailer, for about 29 feet. The car then dropped off ramps and was high centered on the unloading ramps. Offered Driver a floor jack to assist of getting car all the way off the ramp. Luckily car was not damaged as it came off trailer.

      I used recently to ship my new mercedes back from KS ... Everything was great. The live bill of loading was really cool and futuristic. I worked with a group, but Chris in dispatch was excellent. I would surely recommend to others. ;)

      Very irresponsible crew. Bad communication skills. No loyalty to the customer. Worst experience ever shipping my vehicle. Due to a glitch on their behalf. If you want frustration and chaos they’re the right company. Otherwise, heed this warning.

      This was the most available. Best communication and delivery I've never expected. They are very reasonable, quick and well respectful. I really appreciate my driver that picked up and dropped off. I recommend this service to everyone.

        Ultimate Transport 123 questions and answers

        How has your industry changed in the last 5 to 10 years?
        The growth of the public's reliance on the internet for information has vastly changed the landscape of the industry and has opened the door for an over saturation of auto transport brokers. This has helped lead to the contentious, deceitful nature the industry has unfortunately become known for in recent years.
        What problem is Auto Transport 123 trying to solve?
        The problem our customers face – which we aim to resolve – is how to move their vehicle(s) from one location to another, without actually driving it themselves. We offer a variety of options on how to move the vehicle depending on the customers’ needs.
        What sets your company apart from the competition?
        There are many things that set us apart but it all boils down to managing our customers expectations. Many transport companies lead customers to believe everything will go off without a hitch and don't prepare customers for issues that commonly occur in the trucking industry. We take extra time to ensure our customers fully understand what goes into having their vehicle transported and explain how we can keep things moving smoothly even when we’re faced with some of the common issues that could arise.
        What needs do your services fulfill, and how do you fulfill those needs better than your competition?
        Auto Transport 123 services fulfill the need to relocate your car, and we do it better by moving our customers cars faster and more efficiently than our competitors – all at a guaranteed rate.
        How does Auto Transport 123 measure success?
        We measure success by the number of customers who say they had a positive experience shipping their vehicles with us.
        What’s the most common misconception consumers have about your industry? Your company?
        In this industry, if someone says something to you over the phone or writes it in an email, they don’t always live up to it. This is an unregulated industry and the majority of our competitors use deceitful and duplicitous tactics to get business in the first place. The most common misconception about Auto Transport 123 is that we offer the same service as other brokers, when in reality we take a completely different approach to earning the customers business and trust, and we actually complete the job.
        What is something you wish every consumer knew about Auto Transport 123?
        We are the only Auto Transport Broker who provides a full, legally-binding contract in which the price is guaranteed in writing. No other company will guarantee a price in writing. So many customers get taken advantage of because they make a verbal agreement with a sales representative and don't know they need to get everything in writing.
        How has your company grown or evolved?
        When the company was founded in 2010 there were approximately five people employed by the company – all working from our New York office. We now have two more offices; one in Las Vegas and one in Washington state, along with various satellite workers operating from the comfort of their own homes. We now employ over 50 people, making us one of the largest auto transport brokers in the country.
