This inspection documents the car’s condition before and after transport, protecting both parties. If you cannot attend, you may authorize someone with written permission. Proper documentation aligns with FMCSA transport regulations and ensures accurate mileage, fuel level, and condition verification.
Can I ship a vehicle from rural Indiana to urban New Jersey locations?

However, narrow streets, low bridges, and parking restrictions in parts of New Jersey may require meeting the carrier at a nearby open lot. Rural pickups may also extend scheduling by 1 to 2 days due to limited carrier routes. Door delivery flexibility improves timing when using door-to-door auto transport.
