How Auto Transport Trucks Work

Auto transport trucks can typically haul anywhere from 8-10 cars on a single trailer, with some having extended trailers that can haul up to 12. 12-car haulers are rare, as government weight restrictions are pretty stringent and auto shippers can't go over the maximum weight with their rig and load ...

When choosing an auto transport method, it helps to understand the key differences between your options. Open transport is the most affordable and widely available choice, ideal for standard vehicles. Enclosed transport provides maximum protection for luxury, classic, or high-value vehicles. Door-to-door service adds convenience by picking up and delivering your car at your specified locations, while terminal-to-terminal shipping can reduce costs if you are flexible on logistics.

American Auto Shipping offers all major transport types through our nationwide carrier network. Whether you need a standard open carrier for a family sedan or a fully enclosed trailer for a collectible sports car, our marketplace connects you with experienced, insured professionals who specialize in safe vehicle delivery.
