Where will my car be picked up?
Most car ship companies offer door-to-door service, which means they will come to your house and put the car on the truck in front of you. However, with major cities comes tiny roads, and trucks can’t drive on those small roads. The car ship trucks can be as long as 75 ft long, which makes it virtually impossible to squeeze on a small, two-lane road. If the truck can’t get to your house, generally they will contact you and let you know that you need to meet them in a parking lot or some other place that the truck can fit in.
Also, because of the nature of the United States, many cities prohibit giant trucks from going down minor roads. This is why you never see large 18-wheelers driving past your house. This is generally why you may need to meet the truck in a parking lot or someplace else that the truck can fit in. If they come to your house and there are laws preventing him from doing so, he could get a major fine--then your car will never move! So let the company that you ship your car with if your streets are narrow and the truck can’t get in...they’ll appreciate that.

Car Shipper CompanyAn car shipper company can mean either an car shipping ship brokerage or an car shipping carrier. A ship broker, or ship brokerage, is a type of car shipper company that specializes in arranging ship for customers. They give quotes based on the prices that carriers (another type of car shipper company) are currently charging, but they handle most all the paperwork and keep things in line. A carrier is an car shipper company that actually transports cars from one location to the other. These are easier to find, but most utilize ship brokerages to find loads to ship.
Cars Need More Open Software
in today’s world, if you don’t have an mp3 jack built in to the automobiles that you’re pumping out, chances are that they aren’t selling well. the big three are having major problems with this, as open software is more of a rarity than a stock option on most of their vehicles. open software will allow oem’s and tier 1 producers a leading edge on the market by providing things that many other auto makers can’t provide at the moment, and that’s where the most money is to be made at this point. read article...
Trucking Companies Vs Auto Transport Brokers
I have been seeing a lot of emphatic comments on the internet lately, relating to this subject. I am an auto transport broker and I cringe whenever I see "don't ever use a broker! " plastered all over some carrier's (/broker's) website. I can see the appeal of wanting to bypass the broker fee by contacting the carrier directly. For a lot of people the bottom line is all that matters. I realize that economic times are tough and most of the people I speak with daily are interested in getting the best price possible. I would like to point out a few things to the customer looking to deal directly with the drivers as opposed to paying a freight broker. read article...
