You can't have a car cover on a car on an open trailer, you actually can't have anything on the car including luggage.

Honestly, just get an open trailer truck, there is no problems going that route. The trucker will have an inspection sheet when he gets there to note any damage and he will use the same sheet when it arrives to you to ensure that he made no damage during the transporting of the vehicle. Any damages are covered by his company or his insurance.

You will have to disclose to whoever you are setting it up with that the car is non-opp (not opperable) since the tranny is blown, but...tell them it has wheels/brakes/everything it needs to get on/off a truck. There will be about a $100 fee for using the wench.

The car won't be scratched by branches up top because they will put it on the bottom because their wench is on the bottom and they have no way of putting it up top lol. Just make sure that they can fit their big ass truck in to pick up the car otherwise they will call for a smaller tow truck and that is an extra cost.

Lastly, uship does work quickly believe it or not, its pretty big. Larry will also get you taken care of, but look for it to cost $600 to $1000 most likely.
