Why Auto Hauling?

Cars are specifically made to be driven. However, there are times when driving is not the best way to move them from one location to another. Moving is a safe and affordable method. It relieves people of the hassle of driving for many hours while keeping it in good condition. Here are a few circumstances where moving makes more sense than driving:

• Online purchase
• Unfavorable weather conditions
• The motorcar cannot manage long distances (small engine and old cars)
• Moving multiple vehicles
• Overly tight schedule
• Need to move a non-running auto
• Cross-country relocation

Ways Of Hauling

You can choose to ship with an open or enclosed carrier. The significant difference between these two options is the design of the carrier trucks. To help you make the right decision, we will outline how the two options vary.

Open Delivery

It is shipped with an uncovered carrier truck for this option. These trailers are common on the road and can handle 9 to 10 cars. The open method is suitable for standard or used cars.

Pros

• Affordable
• More flexible with pickup
• Quicker in delivery
• Eco-friendly (It is shipped together with nine other vehicles)

Cons

• Your auto is exposed to harsh weather conditions
• Offers less protection from road debris
• Your automobile will get dirty

Types of Open-air Carriers

Two-level or double-layer carriers- these are the most common carrier trucks. Most likely, you have encountered these huge double-layer trucks loaded with autos on the road. On average, they can move nine to ten vehicles.

Single-level, multi-carrier- The design is similar to the double-layer carrier except that it is single-layered. Such carrier trucks often deliver luxury and supercars with low clearance.

Single carrier- It can only move one auto and is primarily used to haul over short distances. Such carriers are most suitable for expedited services.

Enclosed Delivery

It is the most secure and protected option. As the name suggests, the carrier trucks here are fully covered and have additional safety measures. Such carriers are often used to transport brand-new, luxury, or collectible vehicles.

Pros

• High level of protection
• Privacy
• Highly experienced drivers

Cons

• Ship few motorcars
• High-cost

Generally, the option you choose for your shipment depends on the type of auto you want to be moved. In this case, the enclosed method is the perfect solution for high-end or pricey vehicles. Open trucks allow for fast and secure loading of automobiles into and out of the carrier truck.

Alternatively, the open option is suitable for moving ordinary automobiles. Most customers prefer this option because it's more affordable and readily available than enclosed transport.

Hauling Timeframe

Many customers ask how long the car will take during transit. Notwithstanding unexpected delays, cross-country shipping takes 10 to 15 days. The following factors affect the delivery time:

Distance

It is the most significant determinant of transit timeframe. An average carrier truck covers about 300 miles a day. So, if your destination is 3000 miles away, you should expect your vehicle at the point ten days after pickup. Remember, the pickup date is different from the booking date. For instance, you can book a slot with a company today and expect the company to pick it up one week later.

Pickup and Delivery Locations

The nature of the pickup and locations impact the time. Your vehicle will likely arrive at the destination faster when the pickup or locations are in a metropolitan area or major city. Alternatively, the timeframe is longer if the pickup or delivery is in a remote area.

Vehicle Type

The type of car you want to be moved to also affects the dispatch time. Standard autos like SUVs and sedans tend to be shipped with less time and more ease than commercial automobiles like dual trucks and cargo vans. High-end vehicles also require special care, which requires more time than ordinary motorcars.
