Need Shipping

Hi all,
Looking for a reputable and trustworthy shipping carrier. Buying a 2022 M5C in ID and need it shipped to San Antonio TX. Been searching around and not too comfortable with their reviews.
Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I recently used Tempus Logix and was very pleased. They kinda over promised a touch but the vehicle was delivered in great shape and hard to beat their price...

Anyone have any experience with a shipping carrier “Delivery Guys LLC”?

I was just notified that this is the assigned carrier that would be shipping my M5C.

What broker did you end up using?

Are are Delivery Guys LLC based out of CA or WA? I’ve had no experience with them but perhaps we could at least pull their DOT safety info, look into reported incidents, see what permits they have, when the company was formed to look at their experience, etc.

I went with Montway and they booked me with that carrier from WA. I have looked through DOT site info and didn’t see any incidents.

Seems to be they are about five years old with no safety violations or incidents. I know that’s not the kind of first hand info you were looking for, but better than seeing something sketchy there.

They appear to be a small operation with only one total truck, one tractor, and one trailer. It also shows only two registered drivers. This is likely an owner operator. This is probably beneficial as it comes to quality control versus a larger company.

Will you be at the origin to get the car and watch it get loaded and then beat them to the destination?

DO NOT GO WITH MONTWAY TO TRANSPORT A VEHICLE!

So far it has been a bit bumpy. Carrier (Delivery Guys LLC) did not make the pick location on date and time specified. Rescheduled for next day in the morning and also failed to communicate or make at time specified. Finally car is picked up and there is no tracking method to see where carrier is at. Called carrier and does not pick up or return phone calls. Therefore, I called the broker (Montway) and they also do not have a tracker nor could reach carrier.
Just hoping the car makes it in one peace.

I used Tempus Logix and was very pleased, a little overpromising as far as the turnaround but the car was delivered with no issues.

Bears Transport......I used them to have my AMG GT shipped from FL to WI and then they just shipped my M8 to me from Beverly Hills. I found out about them on the Rennlist forum....they are very highly recommended there. Email Liz and get a quote....only cost me $1800 to have it shipped enclosed from CA to WI.
