Generally, your vehicle will transport on an OPEN car hauler that may fit 8-10 cars. These are the types of trailers hardened to transport new cars to automotive dealerships for shipping. The trucks are much larger than cargo moving vans or semi trailers. They only permissible 80,000 lbs weight maximum together with truck, trailer and cargo by DOT regulations. So it is essential to note that average car weight of (2,500) lbs (not including SUV’s) joint with the average weight of the truck/trailer (45,000) lbs is generally at capacity. Therefore, personal items that put in additional weight should never left in your vehicle.

An ENCLOSED Carrier is somewhat different and forever much safer and generally more costly. An enclosed vehicle transporter may only fit 4-6 cars depending height/length and is much larger than moving vans and semi trailers. They are prepared with a hydraulic lift gate for ease of loading/unloading for all auto transporting. The vehicle held in place by a nylon wheel strap (soft-tie down) while transported on air-ride suspensions trailers to cushion the travel through rough roads. Remember because of the height of these trucks, and lack of maneuverability, they may not pass through onto rural streets or areas that may have low hanging streets or low clearance bridges. It may be probably for you to meet the driver at a designated place or make use of a local service with a flatbed to arrive at your exact location for pick-up or drop-off by your auto shipping.
