Efficient Vehicle Shipping from Long Beach, CA to Albuquerque, NM – A1 Auto Transport

A-1 Auto Transport was contracted by a regional dealership chain to move 7 brand-new vehicles from the Long Beach, CA port distribution yard to an Albuquerque, NM commercial delivery lot. The load consisted of midsize sedans, crossovers, and two light-duty pickup trucks — all loaded onto a single open carrier.

Challenge

The pickup location was a high-traffic distribution hub near the Long Beach port, with limited staging space and strict loading time windows. Additionally, the receiving lot in Albuquerque was only accessible during business hours and required advance coordination for unloading.

Solution

A-1 dispatched an experienced long-haul driver equipped with a 9-car open carrier to load all vehicles in one sweep. Our team pre-scheduled the pickup time with the port coordinator and communicated directly with the receiving manager in Albuquerque to secure a confirmed delivery slot. GPS tracking kept the dealer informed at every stage, and we completed the entire transport within the 2–3 day transit window.
