Bob figures around 10 percent of the cars seen at Monterey come from overseas. One more source of business: international shipping. Bob estimates this part of the market is less than 10 percent, as most customers favor the big, established firms. Then, of course, there are the mom-and-pop transportation companies with a trailer or two who are fighting for this business. Exotic Transport, another name in the field, is less involved in the Monterey scene. Other firms include Intercity Lines, Horseless Carriage and Passport Transport. Last year alone, these vehicles came and went to 32 states and three Canadian provinces.īob figures that they have 40 to 45 percent of the Monterey shipping market, but they’re not the only game in town. Of the 307 trucks in the company’s fleet, 80 are used for Monterey weekend. As Bob Sellers, the company’s general manager, explains, between concours cars, corporate clients and auction lots, he moves more than a thousand vehicles in and out of Monterey every year. Fortunately, there are companies that specialize in moving classic cars, and Reliable Carriers is considered the 800-pound gorilla in the field.
