    Default Shipping from California

    Hello, I am looking at purchasing a sports racer in Southern California. I need some insight and information on shipping and other things. The car has a trailer included in the sale. Is there any LTL hauler or others that could pull this car and trailer to the central USA or load the car and trailer, (BOX TYPE, very small. I have a diesel pick-up but am wondering if California will let it into the state as it is not California emission compliant. There are spares with the sale and i would have them shipped on a pallet via LTL if the owner would agree. Appreciate any insight and information on transporting this vehicle. THANKS A LOT FOR ANY HELP!!!!!! Jerry

    Check with this shipper. https://batsmotorsports.com/

    No worries about your diesel truck, as long as you don't move here and try to register it here in Kalifornia. Only caveat to that at all is if it makes excessive smoke.

    I’d say road trip. Maybe replace the trailer tires if needed, grease the wheel bearings and head on out. Enjoy the experience for a lot less than shipping it and the worry about will it be in the same condition as when you bought it.

    Make sure you fill up before you get into Cali. I recently ran a RT to Utah. $3.75 everywhere in Nevada and Utah.
    $4.75 is the cheapest I found in Cali. $5.99 is common.

    Jerry won't have a problem with his truck unless its licensed commercial. Then all bets are off and he should call the DMV.
