Default Car Transport to MOAB for Jamboree

My wife and I are heading to the 50th Jeep Jamboree and are looking to ship my jeep instead of driving. I have checked UShip but would love to find some locals shipping together to save some $$. Any advice or know anyone with room on a trailer would be greatly appreciated.

post it here and see if you get any takers..

https://www.centraldispatch.com/

Moab isn't a great spot for car haulers I would suggest post it from Charlotte to Denver, fly out to Denver, then drive the Jeep from Denver to Moab..

Central dispatch is a crap shoot just know that ahead of time......You might get someone like me who takes care of your vehicle and gets it there when you need it there, or.............You might get a Russian with a dually and a wedge trailer, then the fun begins..

Just putting this out for anyone shippping a Jeep to any destination really..

One more thing if anyone is actually reading this..

Describe the Jeep in detail to the driver.......Stock, lifted, 35's, roof rack, 2 door, 4 door etc..

Most truck drivers won't know the diffrence between JK and a JKU..

Nothing I hate worse than showing up and finding a vehicle is way bigger than it was posted as, we only have so much room on a trailer.

You can also try reaching out to classic car clubs in your area. In the spirit of your special day, here's a virtual bouquet of roses 🌹 as a wedding gift. Best wishes for a beautiful wedding on July 21st!
