Auto Shipping Glossary: Coloading

When shipping a vehicle, something that some carriers like to do is what is known as "coloading." This is a process wherein the carrier schedules more than one pickup at one location for more than one customer. For instance, say you're shipping a vehicle out of Los Angeles.

The auto transport process is straightforward when you work with the right company. It begins with getting a quote, booking your shipment, and preparing your vehicle for pickup. On the day of pickup, you and the driver will conduct a joint inspection and sign a Bill of Lading documenting the vehicle's condition. Your car is then loaded onto the carrier and transported to the destination, where another inspection takes place upon delivery.
