You may be wondering, why should use an auto transport broker to ship your vehicle. The high volume of cars that are being transported every day make it a daunting task for one single person to try to get in contact with a trucking company that can service your route. If you do find a company that goes where you are headed often times many spots on trucks are routinely reserved for certain car dealers or brokers. Moreover, even if you are able to find an available truck driver, the possibility that their schedule will align with yours is slim. A car shipping broker has access to thousands of trucking companies and trucks nationwide, so the broker will be able to easily and efficiently help you find the carrier that meets all of your criteria. Not only will they be able to find you a truck that fits your needs, but they will also be able to ensure that the truck has the proper licenses and insurance needed, allowing you to have peace of mind.
If you do decide to transport your vehicle with one of our auto shipping brokers, there are many tasks that one must completed before shipping your vehicle. Begin by draining the fuel out of your tank before you transport your vehicle. Typically they would like you to get it down to a quarter of a tank or less. Make sure that any cargo or personal posessions are removed from you car before it is shipped. There are two reasons for this; first, the truck driver's insurance does not cover any of your vehicles contents and second, the truck drivers have to pass weight restrictions, so if you have cargo in your car then this could make themto exceed the weight limit possibly causing delays and possiably adding fees to your bill. If you would like to know more about what you can do to make sure you car is prepared for its comfy ride or what you can expect, please visit our car shipping checklist for more information.
