Using Chino Auto Transport Services

Research – It can be difficult to research auto carriers because of the lack of information available, and the fact that most of it is in the form of self-reported claims and reviews by satisfied customers. So where do you go to find accurate and up-to-date information about car shipping companies? The best place to look is the Company Snapshot resource provided on the website for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The FMCSA is the federal body that oversees the industry and documents any changes in status, safety records, accident information, whether they have an active license and if they are a carrier, broker or both. We recommend that customers look up information about a carrier with the USDOT or Motor Carrier license number (MC#) and then follow up with questions of your own.
Cost Estimates – Almost every company out there should offer you a free cost estimate that requires no obligation on your part. It’s not uncommon once everything is booked and official–with a contract signed–for a deposit to be requested, but price quotes should always be free. This is a very good system for customers since it allows them to contact several companies and choose from the best service and pricing options made available to them. The only limit on how much research and price comparing you can do is how much time you want to spend on it and how many companies you wish to contact. Be cautious of companies that offer 10 or more price estimates at one time, however. While they look good on first glance, these websites are just selling your information to 10 different carriers and letting them fight it out for your business–your phone will not stop ringing.
Inspection – Before the driver loads your vehicle onto the transport carrier, they will do a thorough inspection, noting its condition and any damages. This information will be included in the bill of lading, which is a document used in the cargo transport industry to keep track of shipments. The importance of this document cannot be understated! If your vehicle is damaged during shipping, the bill of lading acts as your receipt and proof of condition prior to shipping. If you feel any part of the contract was not upheld by the company moving your car, the bill of lading acts as your proof. Make sure that you carefully inspect the details on the bill of lading for accuracy. We recommend that customers with preexisting damages on their vehicle take photos to document the condition before shipping.
