Multi-Vehicle Open Carrier Transport from Las Vegas to San Jose

A-1 Auto Transport recently completed a high-priority multi-vehicle shipment from Las Vegas, NV to San Jose, CA, using a Ford F-Series dually truck and 4-car wedge trailer. The haul consisted of 4 vehicles, including SUVs and sedans, relocated on behalf of a dealership partner in Northern California. The move was time-sensitive, with units pre-sold and awaiting showroom delivery.

Challenge

The route from Las Vegas to San Jose, though relatively short, cuts through mountainous terrain and high-traffic zones near Bakersfield and Silicon Valley. Tight timelines and vehicle value required zero tolerance for delays. The dealership also needed live updates throughout the journey to coordinate delivery with scheduled customer pickups.

Solution

We assigned one of our California-certified open carrier operators with experience navigating dealership logistics. Vehicles were securely loaded with soft straps and balanced for axle weight compliance. Our dispatch team provided live GPS updates at each checkpoint. Despite traffic outside San Jose, the full load was delivered within 36 hours — clean, damage-free, and ready for final delivery.
