I shipped my Tacoma from Colorado to Texas a couple years back when I moved for work. The process was actually a lot less stressful than I expected, but what helped most was picking a company that updated me the whole way and had a clear schedule. It’s worth paying a bit more for a decent carrier, seriously. On my trip, my truck was on an open carrier and arrived without any issues or surprises. If you’re shopping around, it’s a good idea to look at companies that specialize in auto transport because they usually offer options like door-to-door service, plus insurance and tracking which made my move feel more secure.
