$800 for South Dakota to Louisiana. I stake my claim that there is no other company in the country. Correction, there is no other company in the world who could have gotten this move done for $800! South Dakota is so grossly unpopular for drivers our competitors are charging $1,200-$1,300 to do this move in the winter; and that's the lower estimates from our more inexpensive competition! Do a quote request online from haulingdepot.com or mymovingquote.com and see what prices you receive. You will not get anything near $800 and if you do, I can almost guarantee their driver will not pick it up for that price. It is just way under priced in comparison to the market value and that's what Official Auto Transport provides. Some of the best shipping services for cheap. That's our #1 selling point and we deliver without fail. I do concede the fact that her vehicle was picked up late. Unfortunately, we do not control the weather and this industry is definitely affected by the winter storms. My drivers do not have the ability to fly above the weather like FedEx. That was the cause for the delay. Yet still, my driver picked it up within 4 days. Most shippers have a 5-9 day window for pick-up! We still performed better than the competition and for an unreal price. It is unfortunate that Dawn feels this way about Official Auto Transport. But for anyone who knows the shipping industry would understand that this was not such a bad job.
