Lepke Auto Transport Reliability? (truck, shipping, stations, move)

[dreamingbig]

They quoted me $1185 from Anchorage, Alaska to my front drive in Portland, Oregon around 8-10 days. Anyone here have good/bad experiences with them?

According to their FMCSA SafeStat Ratings http://bit.ly/cLxpsZ , Lepke Auto Transport, Inc. is a small, two truck motor carrier based in Chicago who had their only contract operating authority revoked on August 2, 2010. Authority History

Since they don't maintain any brokerage or other type of operating authority, the company legally can't move your vehicle. You might have a problem collecting damages if you allow them to.

Considering that the $1185 rate quoted is a door-to-door rate, I believe the price you received is way below competitive rates charges by carriers that provide that type of service in that particular transportation channel.

Thanks for the heads up! The other day when their sales rep called me he sounded like he was nervous speaking with me. Wrightway Auto quoted me $995 from Anchorage, Alaska to Tacoma, Washington.
