Estimated Pricing & Time For Delivery

*Prices and times are estimated. They can vary depending on the season and the type of vehicle you are shipping.

Vehicle Hauling Companies

• Brokers - Much of the cargo shipping industry relies on brokers to put clients in touch with carriers, which is true of the auto transport industry. When you search online for a company, many websites you encounter will be brokers that you submit your information, who then connect with a carrier that ships the vehicle for you. Brokers can access load boards where they place your request and allow companies to bid on the shipment. Booking your car shipping with a broker can be a good way to get a low price without having to call around several companies.
• Carriers - A carrier is the person or company that handles the shipping of the vehicle. If you prefer to deal directly with the person moving your vehicle, you should find a carrier in your area. It should be noted that many companies act as both a broker and a carrier, taking the requests that fit with their delivery routes and passing the others along to a carrier that can ship the car.
• FMCSA Registration - Both brokers and carriers in the auto transport industry must be registered with the FMCSA, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Brokers and carriers will be issued an MC#, or motor carrier license number, from the FMCSA, and carriers will also have a USDOT#. You can easily do basic research about a company with either of the numbers on the FMCSA website to determine if they are a broker or carrier if it's not explained on their website.

Long Distance Auto Hauling

If you're looking for a carrier to take your car to Carlsbad, we have two main types you can choose from: enclosed and open. Enclosed carriers are more expensive to book, so people tend only to pick them if they need the delivery to be fast or if they have a fragile or costly vehicle that needs special care and protection.

For most auto transport requests, open carriers are employed. They're huge, able to carry 12 cars at a time, so the price of using one is also reasonable. The cost of transportation is shared with many other customers so that the company can lower it significantly.

Relocating Luxury and Classic Cars

Transporting a luxury or classic car around Phoenix using DIY is usually not the best idea. Also, if your vehicle is supposed to be presented in a show, then dust, rain, or things that fly towards it may destroy the image you are trying to accentuate.

An enclosed truck is the solution to all these problems. Such carriers isolate the car from outside problems. They need less time to transport and are generally more reliable. For more details, you can contact our main office using the phone number presented on our website.
