Default Auto Transporting: anyone up for a road trip? $$$

I was thinking of using a auto transporting company to transport a car from Texas to Maryland.

Any suggestions or feedback on companies you have used in the past?
or
Anyone up for making some good money and is willing to go on a road trip?

I need a hatch hauled from el paso,tx to Maryland.

Let me know your price or a company and what they charge.

Thanks in advance

It was before the gas prices went through the roof, but it was around $600. Very professionally done. The driver was extra careful. Took him about 20 minutes to get it out of the trailer. Had plastic put over everything he had to touch (seat, floor, steering wheel). I would def give fed ex a call and see what they would charge you.

Is it a running vehicle? Legal?

I've always wanted to have someone pay me to drive a car on a road trip.

I'd love to but I don't think it would be the most efficient thing for you in terms of cost. I was hoping it was a situation where I could fly out and drive it back.
