Commercial Flatbed Truck Transport, San Antonio to Phoenix

A1 Auto Transport recently facilitated the relocation of a Ford flatbed tow truck from San Antonio, Texas to Phoenix, Arizona. The vehicle, used by a local roadside assistance fleet, required enclosed transport due to its commercial value and readiness for immediate deployment upon arrival. The goal was to deliver it safely, on time, and without any operational delays.

Challenge

The client needed the vehicle delivered within three business days, fully operational, and with zero exposure to potential road debris — a typical concern for utility trucks traveling across the Southwest. Additionally, given the flatbed’s size and weight, we had to coordinate transport with a specialized hauler capable of handling non-standard commercial equipment.

Solution

A1 Auto Transport arranged a dedicated heavy-duty carrier, optimized for oversized commercial vehicles. Our dispatcher selected a 13 hr 43 min direct driving route to maximize time efficiency while avoiding low-clearance zones and weight-restricted roads. Throughout the transport, real-time GPS tracking and automated check-ins kept the client updated on progress from pickup to final delivery in Phoenix.
