The $1300.00 price is very low. They may transport it at their convenience. They may not even get to it.
If the truck is ever picked up, it may go through many drop off sites where vehicles are stored waiting for the next big rig to come along and bring it closer to its final destination.
This can take a long time and cause damage to the vehicle. Very difficult to prove that the carrier caused damage to a vehicle that you never saw, even if you have someone send you photos.
Going up to North Dakota, and other states in that area during the Winter is very unpredictable. Weather can cause delivery delays, backups in scheduling, and lost time on the road.

I am able to price out getting the truck from you and bring it to the NYC area if that makes it more accessable for the already contracted company to pick it up.
Some money would come off the $1300.00 quote and can be applied to my quote.
I need to know what type of vehicle, who is hiring the transporters, their contact info, and where in Maine you are.
Thank you,
