I considered that! It would certainly be cheaper.Maybe a better alternative is arranging a jeep rental at your destination ahead of time....
Do you have details?Maybe you can have Jeep ship it. They hardly charge anything for shipping and know the exact time they are going to pick up and deliver a vehicle!
I agree. But the same is true for civil aviation or ocean-going ships, yet passengers and shippers have some idea of when they'll take off and when they'll arrive. Imagine that your airline says: "The flight will happen sometime over the next five weeks. We'll give a you 24 hours in advance."There are too many factors that fall outside of the shipper’s control.
Hmm… the next time that I hear of a major ship collision on the high seas or mid air collision of planes causing bumper to bumper traffic for hours holding up ships and aircraft will be the first time. Road, sea, air, and rail logistics are apples and oranges logistically and can’t really be compared to one another directly.I agree.

For example, the unexpected fuel supply issues in the southeast right now that’s causing fuel outages has huge potential to hold up a road going shipment, possibly for days. I doubt any ships or planes will be delayed because of it. Possibly. But not nearly as likely. So they can tell you when you should expect a shipment to arrive. But if you just shipped from the east coast and the truck carrying your Jeep is sitting at a truck stop out of fuel, it won’t get there when it should.
