How the service works

Request an estimate with pickup and delivery locations, vehicle details, operating condition, and timing. After you review the shipment terms, carrier matching begins. Pickup is confirmed when a qualified carrier accepts the route.

What affects cost

Distance is one factor. Vehicle dimensions, trailer type, location access, fuel prices, seasonal demand, carrier supply, operability, and pickup flexibility can all influence the market rate.

Preparing your vehicle

Wash the exterior enough to document its condition, photograph every side, remove valuables and loose accessories, leave roughly one-quarter tank of fuel, disable alarms, and provide a working key.

At pickup and delivery

Walk around the vehicle with the driver and record existing marks on the bill of lading. At delivery, inspect it again in good light before signing and retain the paperwork.
