Automobile Transporters: Know What You're Dealing With!

When it comes to shipping your car, you going to deal with auto transporters. It's like dealing with traffic during rush hour; it's going to happen. So, when you're dealing with auto transporters, it's good to know what exactly you're going to be dealing with.

Be flexible, But Be the Boss

Auto transporters live to serve you, the customer. You're the boss, as far as auto transporters are concerned. But you also need to bend a little. Make sure that you give the auto transporters plenty of time to pick up your vehicle. "Plenty of time" would be ten days or more, so the auto transporters can arrange a reasonable pickup date for you.

Automobile Transporters should know your Vehicles Specs

Make sure that the auto transporters know the exact size of your vehicle if it's bigger than any standard one. Many times the auto transporters will send a truck to pickup a car only to find that it's got a 4 inch lift kit on it, meaning it won't fit on a standard-sized 10-car carrier. Auto transporters need to be completely informed of any and all changes and sizes if they are relevant. Paint job, gas mileage...that doesn't matter. If your car is any bigger than a standard car or truck, let the auto transporters know about it.

Advise Transporters of Engine Trouble

Let the auto transporters know if your vehicle is not running. This will save you time and money as well as the auto transporters, because they can just put it down as a non-operating vehicle (non-op). If you don't tell them, you may have to pay more money when the truck comes to pick up your vehicle.
