Default Jeep (auto) Haulers?

I hope this is in the right forum but here goes...

I'm moving to Alaska begining of Feb and want to have my Jeep shipped plus whatever else i can fit in the back of it. Before anyone says it, I would love to make the drive but in the past 2 years I've seen my wife for 5 months...I'm not taking 10 days to drive when I can be there in 6 hours.

Anybody have any thoughts, recommendations, experiences?

Oh yea, I'll be shipping it from Las Vegas.

There are a couple ways. You can always google search for some auto shippers and there are plenty out there. One of the cheaper ways i have found while stateside, and god forgive me for saying this, call a dealer in the area you are moving to. They have to ship there new and wholesale vehicles and can sometimes throw yours on the truck/boat for a reasonable amount.

Never thought about the stealership route but it's worth a shot.

I ried to google thing and narrowed it down to most of them are dicks or shysters.

I do some side work in the collector car business and have always had good luck with Fed Ex Passport auto transport. I haven't shipped anything to Alaska, though, but I'd guess it would be expensive. You can request a quote on their website, though...

passport.fedex.com

If you call and talk to Dianna, tell her Ross from Branson says hi.
