Two-Vehicle Open Transport: Los Angeles to Portland

A-1 Auto Transport coordinated the safe and timely delivery of two vehicles — a Hyundai Santa Fe SUV and a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van — from Los Angeles, CA to Portland, OR. Utilizing an open carrier setup, our team ensured both vehicles were delivered on schedule, despite their size and configuration differences.

Challenge

The shipment involved two large vehicles with different profiles: a mid-size SUV and a commercial cargo van. Coordinating their transport required careful attention to trailer placement and clearance. The client also had a firm delivery deadline in Portland to meet a relocation timeline.

Solution

A-1 Auto Transport dispatched a heavy-duty Dodge Ram 3500 truck with an extended open trailer, perfectly suited for large vehicle hauls. Our driver coordinated pickup from a commercial lot in Los Angeles, securely loading both vehicles with a reinforced strap system. We provided GPS tracking updates throughout the 962-mile journey, and the delivery was completed in just 4 days, well within the committed transit window.
