BEWARE OF AVAILABLE LOGISTICS!!!! I leave the bare facts here for anyone who cares to hire their services to read for themselves:

Subject: $650 Getting Started with Available Logistics
Importance: High
FACT 1
Here is your quote and additional information to get everything done very quickly:
Quote: $650 (as this quote is based on an empty spot, it is guaranteed for 24 hours or until filled)
Nearly all of the quotes you may get are from “brokers” who give you any price, post your vehicle on an internet board and hope that a random 3rd party truck will agree to pick up your vehicle. More often than not, your vehicle never gets picked up and the “broker” demands more money to ship your vehicle.
I do things a bit differently…
I’m a car transport specialist at a Trucking Company with relationships dating back 20 years. I am the Logistics Coordinator who sources real transport vehicles that will be there on time and ship on time!
Our method of pricing is guaranteed and there are no additional charges- unlike many companies that you are contacted by. "The price given is the price." Any possible additions are disclosed in the terms and conditions of our contract.
All carriers used are licensed by the Department of Transportation and fully insured for liability and cargo insurance to cover your vehicle. We are licensed and insured by the Federal Government, our DOT number is MC738908.
We only need a deposit of $175 (refundable) to set pickup of your vehicle;

After you have completed the 3 steps, email me the exact names addresses and phone numbers for delivery. I will email you the contract with all the pertinent information regarding addresses and telephone numbers; read it and check that all info is correct. Print and Sign the last page, FAX just the first 3 and the last page to 877-288-3601. If you can’t print and fax, let me know. The balance is paid upon delivery.

Subject: total of $925 and the COD of $750
Kindly click reply and respond with the verbiage, "I accept the total of $975 and the COD of $750." Recently the carriers have been seeking additional monies for virtually all pickups as we are in the busiest season and they determine the market.

this is no scam it is the contract which you probably never read, that is almost the scam.
CONCLUSION
I read through the contract again and again but there was no reference to any indication of a possible change in price. Besides, read what they said again in FACT 1.
In the end, we had to pay an extra $300 to take delivery of the vehicle.
They know that car owners need their car(s) and would do whatever it takes to have their vehicles....and thus do they prey on unsuspecting prospective customers.
PLEASE BEWARE OF AAA AVAILABLE LOGISTICS CAR MOVERS, THEY ARE NO GOOD REALLY!!!
