3-Vehicle Open Transport from Cincinnati, OH to Raleigh, NC

A-1 Auto Transport was entrusted to handle the cross-state shipment of three vehicles — a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van, a classic Cadillac, and a Toyota SUV — from Cincinnati, OH to Raleigh, NC. With nearly 520 miles to cover, the shipment required a reliable partner capable of safely transporting a mix of modern and vintage vehicles.

Challenge

The primary challenge was accommodating a diverse set of vehicles, including a tall and heavy Sprinter Van, a low-clearance vintage Cadillac, and a family SUV — all on a single open carrier. Proper spacing, secure strapping, and weight balancing were critical. Additionally, timing was key: the customer required delivery within 3 days to align with a planned relocation.

Solution

A-1 Auto Transport assigned an experienced open carrier team familiar with mixed loads. The Sprinter was positioned upfront due to its weight, while the classic Cadillac was placed in the middle to minimize road vibration. The SUV was loaded last for easy unloading in Raleigh. GPS tracking updates were shared throughout the journey, ensuring the customer stayed informed from pickup to delivery.

Delivery was completed in just 2.5 days, with all vehicles arriving in excellent condition.
