    Unbelievable experience with Ultimate Transport 123! I was shipping one vehicle from Florida to Los Angeles and the day before decided to ship a second vehicle. Not only did the company make that happen, seamlessly, pick up and delivery was smooth and easy. Customer service, fantastic, and transporter communication above and beyond to make everything happen on time and seamlessly. I truly expected it to be a tough process and an expensive process, but it was neither. Five stars all around, highly highly highly recommended!

    They were professional and timely with pick up. Drop off did not happen on the date expected. However when I called they found out why and kept me updated the delivery details. The car arrived with no problems. I guess because of the size of the truck I had to meet it for pickup in a supermarket parking lot which was annoying because it arrived after 9pm.

    We were trying to transport a vehicle from New York to Arizona. I contacted several companies and went with Ultimate because of the salesperson I dealt with. He was knowledgeable, professional and polite. I even mentioned the mixed reviews and we had a discussion about them. I signed the deal and immediately received the transport company info and confirmed date and price of pick up. Everything was per the agreement with the salesperson and contract. The car was picked up and even delivered 2 days earlier than expected. The driver made great time. I would definitely use them again.

    This was 100% the most pleasant experience I’ve had shipping my car. From Tara that booked the car to Oleg that transported the car. They picked up & delivered on the dates promised. I particularly liked that the same person that picks up your car delivers it. If you’re thinking of shipping your car please don’t hesitate one bit to use this company.

    Sourced Ultimate Transport for trucking my father's vehicle back from Florida. He had a stroke and had to be medically transported back to Michigan.. Ultimate was informed before taking the job it was time sensitive... The salesman Anthony D. said no issue.. He was informed family members would only be there for 4 days then they were headed back to Michigan.. The pick up was supposed to occur on Thursday..no call, no show..Friday no call, no show...Saturday no call, no show...

    Called repeatably for 4 days straight all day long explaining there would be no one to give keys to driver after Saturday...Monday morning a driver calls who was very pushy demanded his money upon pick up (wasn't the deal)...so I had to inform him there was no one there to handle over the keys... Then ultimate hit my credit card for a NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT.... Buyer beware, very shady outfit.. Worst experience to date.... They are very quick to sign you up..but come thru with nothing... Read the fine print!

    Chose this transport carrier over other because if the assumption that they could ship same day. This did not happen. It took several attempts to find the correct transport. Driver with the correct equipment to do the job. This was not due to an issue with Ultimate's service, but miscommunication about the location and necessary equipment needed. Resulting in delayed shipment of 3 days. A lot of back and forth communication was needed to eventually get the vehicle shipped. I've had vehicles shipped without any issues before from other carriers. This was unfortunately not the case with Ultimate Transport 123.

    Must Avoid!! Order Number - **. Date Order Place - 03/27/2025 M.C.#** Salesperson - Jason H. I needed to transport my SUV from Los Angeles to NYC, where Ultimate Transport 123 was not the cheapest but sales rep kept calling me and scaring me that other companies are brokers and cannot be trusted. Jason said their company is an actual shipping carrier who transports/communicate directly with the driver, having said that I trusted Jason's word on "you can count on me for status report on the car even in the weekends." Big mistake.

    The car was supposed to arrive on Saturday and no status report from the driver nor Jason. When I called Ultimate Transport 123 to see what the status is, sales rep said she will get back to me and when I asked the manager all of the managers are out during the weekend. I called and texted Jason, but no reply back. After 4 days, I had to pick up the car from middle of nowhere in Queens with car key missing. I called Ultimate transport 123 and demanded to speak to the manager and the person on the phone said he was the manager and pretty much mocked me for not understanding nature of freight forwarding. I've never dealt with this type of unprofessional people in my life and I will be filing BBB complaint against this company and I definitely do not recommend Ultimate Transport 123 at all.

    The Ultimate Transport 123 company was a great choice for the shipping on my vehicle. The company stood within the bounds of their contract and my vehicle was dispatched within the 10 day timeframe as the contract guarantees. The company representatives all demonstrated a professional service in every area. The company was there to offer assistance and provide the best service for me every step of the way. They transacted fair business and were honest about the set final price. Ultimate Transport 123 were open, honest, and dealt straight in the business process. There were no hidden surprises or any false promises or anything about their business. What the representative Jerry told me, is exactly what they provided. I would recommend this company for anyone interested in a straight transaction for having a vehicle shipped.

    The company provided me all of the answers to the questions that I asked, Jerry communicated with me of the details of the transaction to ensure that I fully understood what the process would consist of even before I had fully decided on any specific shipping arrangements. The great communication with Jerry made it simple and easy to transact business with the company and to understand what should be expected along the process. My initial phone conversation with Jerry was totally professional on his behalf and he did a fantastic job of explaining to me, the shipping process. Overall, my experience with Ultimate Transport 123 was amazing.

    Ultimate Transport 123 is a scam. Save yourself the headache dealing with these people. I hired them to transport my car. I did not do my research and I am paying for that. I paid my down payment and then they send a driver to pick up the car. Driver take half of the money and say he is gonna turn his car around and take off. Never come back.

    This business is a joke! They are a bait and switch operation. They tell you they can pick up your car, picked up in 2-3 days and it'll cost a $$$. This does not happen, and they say it's because there are no drivers available, weather is bad, or it will cost more. I have been waiting over a week for this to get pick up and it still is not picked up. I was needing this done because my mother-in-law passed away unexpectedly, and we had to clean out her home to give back to the landlord. I explained all of this, and they said they could accommodate that. Here I am still waiting!!!! When I called to talk with Tara the salesperson that helped me and said this could be done.

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.

    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.

    Ultimate Disappointment 123! I was having my vehicle transported from Los Angeles, CA to Georgia. The company was to pick up my vehicle on Friday or Saturday. They never contacted me. I called the guy that brokered the contract several time trying to figure out when are they coming to get my vehicle. It is now Monday. My flight is Tuesday morning at 9am. I called him again. He finally responds and said he fell and injured his ribs. He said he would call me back at 11am. Carlos didn’t call me back and now I have to find a company that can pick up my vehicle same day. I somehow found another transportation company and they charged me more.

    Ultimate charged my card $200.00 and then $100.00 that evening. I contact them and I was confused. Why would you charge me and you didn’t deliver my vehicle. So they wanted to refund me my $200 but charge me $100.00 because they said the driver was on his way. I stated that was impossible because the driver has to contact me to set up a meeting location. I never spoke to a driver. So now they stated I can have that $100.00 as a credit for my next vehicle transportation. As if I would use that company again. They text me stating they would refund $200.00 immediately if I agreed to being charged $100.00. I said absolutely not! The company then said they wouldn’t refund me anything and stated that I double booked. I laughed. If I had double booked, my car would have been picked up on the weekend already, not on Monday.

We made several calls to them and not one call was returned. On my final call to them I said I wanted to cancel because I did not feel they operate a reliable business and they charged me 300! The second order wasn't due until mid August. Now they are calling me trying to get me to take down my Google review and saying they will give me 200 back but want to keep 100. I’ve called chase bank and will continue to report to every agency possible.
