I believe this to be a scam company obtaining personal and credit card information by offering a service and then at the last minute cancelling the service after they already have all your information. In mid-October I was contacted by Pride Car Shipping in response to a request for quotes to transport a car from one state to another. I was sent electronically a contract to transport the car and a request for my credit card number and contact information. At that time, I spoke with a representative of the company and confirmed the price, and the dates for pickup and delivery. I was told the truck driver transporting the car would call 24 hours in advance and again 1 hour before arriving to pick up the car. No calls were received prior to the pick-up date. On the pick-up date, Oct 31, no truck driver had called, and I sent an email to Pride Shipping that no truck was coming to pick up my vehicle, only after I emailed them, I received an email from Pride Car Shipping stating, “Good morning, your vehicle will be picked up today, just confirmed with the driver.” Only after contacting Pride Shipping did I receive a text from an unknown phone number that said it was “Jake” the driver and he had to pick up 4 cars first and he would then pick up my vehicle. Three hours later I received a text from “Jake” who said he was not picking up the cars from the dealership and was not going to pick up my vehicle. A search of the telephone number for “Jake” the truck driver shows it to be associated with a 71-year-old deceased female who resided in Florida. After emails and phone calls Olivia said she would try and find another truck to transport my vehicle. No service was provided, Pride Car Shipping never obtained transportation for my car.
