A-1 Auto Transport facilitated the cross-state delivery of a RAM 5500 heavy-duty chassis cab from Miami, Florida to Houston, Texas. This 1,189-mile haul required specialized handling for a partially upfitted commercial vehicle intended for final assembly at its destination.
Challenge
Transporting a non-standard, commercial chassis cab presents multiple logistics challenges:
- Size and weight coordination for flatbed or open carrier options
- Careful winch and securement requirements due to the vehicle’s incomplete build
