The process
From quote to delivery
- 01
Quote
Enter your route, vehicle and trailer type. The quote tool returns an all-in price for that exact shipment.
- 02
Booking
Confirm your addresses, contact details and pickup window. We line up a carrier that runs your route.
- 03
Pickup
The driver calls ahead, inspects the vehicle with you, and you both sign the condition report before loading.
- 04
Transit
Your vehicle travels on the trailer you chose. We update you along the way and you can call us at any point.
- 05
Delivery
The driver calls ahead again. You inspect the vehicle, sign the report and take your keys.
Your part
What we need from you
Accurate vehicle details
Year, make and model set the price and the space reserved on the trailer. Tell us about lift kits, oversized tires or roof racks.
Whether it runs
A vehicle that does not start needs a carrier with a winch. Saying so up front avoids a failed pickup.
Reachable addresses
Transport trucks are long. If a street is too tight, the driver will arrange a nearby spot such as a parking lot.
Someone at each end
An adult you trust needs to hand over and receive the keys and sign the inspection report.
A prepared vehicle
About a quarter tank of fuel, no personal items, and a clean exterior so existing marks are easy to record.
A working phone number
Drivers schedule by phone. Answering their call is the fastest way to lock in your pickup time.
Timing
How long each stage takes
Most pickups happen within a few days of booking. Flexible dates give us more carriers to choose from, which usually means a faster pickup.
Once the vehicle is loaded, shorter routes usually take one to three days. Coast-to-coast moves take about a week to ten days. Weather, traffic and the other stops on the trailer all affect the schedule, so every date is an estimate until the driver confirms it.
If you have a hard deadline, tell us when you book and ask about expedited shipping.
FAQ
Common questions about the process
Do I pay before my vehicle is picked up?
Your booking confirmation states what is due and when. Nothing is charged for getting a quote.
Can I change my pickup date after booking?
Call us as soon as your plans change. We will work with the carrier to adjust the window where the route allows it.
What is the inspection report?
It is the bill of lading. The driver records the vehicle's condition at pickup and again at delivery, and you sign both. Keep your copy.
