Packing the $$$ on the trailer!!
What to expect In auto Shipping
Know what to expect
It is our goal to educate brokers, customers and drivers about the inherent risks associated with shipping vehicles on an open transport trailer. Risks that are unavoidable on an open trailer and are therefore NOT considered, by any reasonable person, to be a transport damage. The pictures on this page offer examples of open transport and what can happen during the transport.
We pride our business on being honest !
In this picture you see a car that was shipped from PA to WA on an open transport during the winter. What you see on the car is traction aggregate spread by the DOT on snow covered roads. This aggregate provides traction but also ends up on the cars on the load. If this aggregate (fine gravel and sand) is not removed correctly it will cause severe damage to the paint that some people try to blame on the driver. The driver can not prevent this therefore it is NOT transport damage. The shipper had the opportunity to ship their car in a more expensive enclosed trailer to avoid this risk but chose the cheaper open transport method instead.
While we want your business we also want you to be an informed shipper
We will strive to ensure your vehicle arrives within the window of delivery you requested and in the condition you expect. Delivered with the experience you can trust. The truck you see on the left does not haul cereal or clothes or even produce. It is a very expensive trailer specifically designed to transport cars in an enclosed "garage" that protects them from the inherent risks of open transport.
