Car Hauler Rig Relocation from Dallas to Atlanta | A1 Auto Transport

A-1 Auto Transport recently handled the relocation of a fully-equipped open car hauler from Dallas, Texas to Atlanta, Georgia. The rig — a powerful dually truck hitched to a multi-vehicle MAX 6 trailer — was scheduled to begin new operations in Atlanta and required a seamless transition across state lines. This type of transport demanded both precision timing and experience with long-haul rig relocation.

Challenge

The client needed the entire truck-and-trailer combo moved intact, with no disassembly due to tight deployment deadlines in Atlanta. This posed several challenges: securing the extended length vehicle setup, navigating DOT clearance requirements, and ensuring a stable ride across changing terrain. Moreover, a fast turnaround of under 48 hours was critical.

Solution

We assigned a Class A CDL transport specialist who could drive the loaded hauler directly under its own power. Our team conducted a pre-trip safety inspection on the trailer’s axle clearance and brake connections before departure. A1 dispatchers tracked the move with real-time GPS and coordinated fueling and rest stops for efficiency. The rig arrived in just under two days, ready for immediate use by the Atlanta fleet.
