Can I ship more than one van?
Of course you can! Because most trucking companies use 10-car, open carriers, it is usually no problem to ship more than one van. One important thing to note when you decide to ship more than one van is that it may take longer to find a truck because there has to be room for all of your vehicles. Some van shipping companies offer discounts for more than one van, so make sure you let that company know if you have more than one van.

Van Ship Broker QuoteAn van ship broker quote is a quote that you receive from an van ship broker to ship your van. Typically van ship broker quotes vary depending on where you’re shipping from and to, the size of the van, and the time of the year. For instance, a van such as a Dodge Sprinter will cost more to ship than a Hyundai Accent because it is much larger. Another thing that helps determine prices for van ship broker quotes are the pickup and destination cities. Shipping from Los Angeles to New York City will cost considerably more than a quote to ship from Los Angeles to Portland, Oregon, because the distance is greater. Another big factor in determining prices for van ship broker quotes is where the cities are located. Shipping into the middle of nowhere is more expensive because not a lot of trucks run through small towns – there aren’t as many people and small towns tend to be away from major highways, so drivers need an incentive to go out of their way.

It's very oxymoronic for people to tell everyone to "mind their own business" and stop "invading their privacy", yet the first thing they do in the morning when they wake up is discuss their personal lives on facebook & twitter.
