I just used Dependable Auto Shippers to send a car from West Palm Beach to 
Pittsburgh ($609.)

They have online tracking, and the transport went without a hitch -- 
everyone I dealt with was very professional, courteous, and knew their 
sh*t.  They were also the cheapest quote I got, and were one of only a few 
places that were open on Saturdays (I decided Friday night at 2am that I 
wanted to ship the car instead of driving it).

They were a bit vague with the estimated delivery date because I shipped 
mine over the Thanksgiving holiday.  They estimated "around" 5-7 business 
days... and the car arrived 9 days later (6 business days). It sat at the 
drop-off location for about 7 days, but once it got moving, it shot up the 
coast.

I'd recommend them without any hesitation -- but as always, 
YMMV.  Accidents do happen, and things get delayed.  They have a great 
reputation, though, and they're the official car transporter of eBay.  And 
they're located in NJ and Texas - perfect for you, no?

I dealt with Brent, he was great:  (800) 726-2693 x116
I begged and got a little bit of a discount -- tell him that I sent you, 
and maybe he'll be able to give you one as well.  My order number was 657795.

Good luck!
