Transporting Vehicles

Open or closed carriers for auto shipping:

Most of the time, your vehicle will be transported on an open car hauler that may fit 8-10 cars. These are the types of trailers used to transport new cars to automotive dealerships. The trucks are much larger than cargo moving vans or semi trailers. They are only allowed 80,000 lbs weight limit including truck, trailer and cargo by Department of Transportation regulations. So it is important to note that average car weight of (2,500) lbs (not including SUV’s) combined with the average weight of the truck/trailer (45,000) lbs is almost always at capacity. Therefore personal items that add additional weight should never be left in your vehicle.

For classic, exotic and luxury cars, we recommend a CLOSED SHIPPING CONTAINER.
