Never used them but you can read reviews here.....
www.transportreviews.com
Keep in mind some are only brokers and your car goes into a pool on a website where drivers can pick and choose cars in route. Some have holding yards where you car can sit for weeks waiting for a full load going your way. Wish I knew about that site before I had my car shipped from CA. My carrier was not very good. And not very "Dependable" to say the least. If the car your shipping is really nice use a enclosed carrier service. It's well worth the extra money. JMO....

I used them to transport a 1937 Chrysler Imperial from Ohio to California. It took them about two weeks from the order to pick up the car and it took them another week to get it here. I was not in a hurry so no bother. Used them 2 years ago to transport a packard from New Jersey to calif. Same issues.

Hey guys. Several months ago I bought a Pontiac Ventura from Evilbay and started searching the web for a shipper. I received a reply from a company that promised the world and all sounded great. I later found out that they were a broker service and not the shipper. Anyone can become a broker and if you watch the latenight correspondence college adds you will sometimes see auto broker listed! Anyway, the shipper showed up with my car and had the unibody pulled out from the body because of the wierd way it was tied over a "valley" of the top of the trailer. The shipper charged me three hundred dollars more than quoted and the brokers reply was "not our department". I ended up with a way overpriced yard ornament. Anyway, use the transportreviews.com link and get EVERYTHING in writing. Hope this helps someone!"Are you stalking me...because that would be super!"

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
