How To Ship Your Leyland

Everyone from that generation likely has a memory of the Leyland. That is just how popular they were in the past. Today, driving them long distance could not be such a good idea. However, they will still be useful in and around town, so when moving cross country, there is no need to sell them. Shipping them across country requires a reputable car transport company.

If you are a first time, it is important to understand the industry. To begin with, auto transport involves moving a vehicle from one point to another. However, that is pretty much where the similarity among the various car transport companies end. There are many different types of services on offer. Typically, car transport can be divided into two, international and domestic. Overseas shipment happens via sea freight or by air, while domestic transportation happens via rail or road. Majority of transportation happens locally or interstate, and by road. This is because it is relatively fast and flexible, and not too expensive.

The choice of carriers, pickup and drop points is also important. There are two options too when it comes to picking up and delivery; door to door and terminal based delivery. Door to door is more convenient, as it does not involve the owner of the vehicle in the process at all.

The car is picked up at the source and ferried all the way cross country to the new destination. It is appropriate in situations where the vehicle is not in a condition to be driven, like in the case of, say, old vintage vehicles. Terminal based pickup and delivery is different, and in some instances, cheaper. It involves the owner of the vehicle dropping the car at a company terminal. From there, the company has the car shipped to another terminal near the destination, from where the owner picks up the car again.

Types of carriers

When it comes to carriers, open and enclosed are the two options. Open carriers can be further divided into multi-car and single car opens carriers. Single car carriers carry just the one car, but the multi-carriers haul between 3 and ten cars per trip. Many of the multi-car carriers that carry more than three vehicles at a time have different loading levels for stacking the vehicles.

Since open carriers have the vehicle exposed to the elements, the vehicles loaded on the top level, otherwise called top loading, attract a higher transportation fee than those at the lower levels, because of the risk of damage from debris. Closed carriers have the vehicle completely covered and protected from the elements. They most of the time only have one vehicle being transported.
