Auto Transportation

The art of Auto transportation

Auto transportation is, by definition, the art of transporting an automobile. And, if you're reading this, chances are you need auto transportation. But this isn't a pizza-delivery service, by any means.

Automobile Knowledge is Power

When you're deciding on auto transportation, you need to make sure that the company you decide to go with knows everything about your car. Size, weight, operating status...all of that is important when it comes to auto transportation. Once you decide to go with an auto transportation company, the auto transportation company basically handles the rest. What happens is that the auto transportation company will find you a truck (if they don't own their own) and schedule you for pickup based on the pickup date you gave the auto transportation company.

Wait until Pickup

Once you are scheduled, you wait until the truck comes to pick up your car at your house. Both you and the truck driver will go over the entire vehicle, top to bottom, and make a note of all the dings, dents, or just how pretty and pristine your car is. We all know how much you love your car...otherwise you'd be driving it from Virginia to California yourself!

Auto Transportation Delivery Assessment, Drop Off, and Contacts

As soon as the car is on the truck, the auto transportation company will keep you on file until they are contacted by either you or the truck driver to say that the vehicle was delivered on time at the appropriate destination. What this means for you is that wherever you decide to have the car dropped off at, you need to be there (or have someone else there who can do it) to be able to say that your vehicle was delivered. Then, you and the truck driver will go over the vehicle once more to assess any new damages (new damage is rare, however). As soon as that's finished, the auto transportation company who set you up with the truck will call you back and you will pay them.
