Vehicle Transit Options

Relocating from state to state or country is a common phenomenon today. The biggest challenge for many people is moving personal items, especially their rides. This task is highly involving and expensive. This is why you need to weigh your options carefully before deciding. You can ship by air, train, water, or road.

Moving By Plane

It is a standard option for hauling luxury, classic, or expensive automobiles. Delivery via a plane is also suitable during emergencies and when the destination is an island or has a poor road and train network. A car is loaded into a cargo plane and hauled to your desired location. It is the fastest way of relocating a vehicle. The biggest challenge with dispatching via an aircraft is the cost. Unless you’re dispatching a valuable four-wheeler, the cost of shifting via plane could surpass the car’s value.

Hauling By Train

It is more or less similar to hauling by air but is not as fast and costly as dispatching by air. A vehicle is loaded into a carrier train and shifted. The challenge with shifting via train is that the railway network is less connected than the road network. Merritt Island, for example, is the area, and accessing it via a train is impossible.

Delivery By Boat

If your destination is an island or a country on a different continent, you cannot travel by water. It is the cheapest way of transferring a car. However, dispatching by water is one of the slowest means. You must wait for your ride to arrive at your destination for weeks or months.

Relocating By Trailer

Shipping vehicles using a trailer is the most popular and convenient way of relocating a four-wheeler. Most carrier companies own open-air trucks and enclosed trucks. Open-air freight trucks can haul ten to twelve cars, while an enclosed carrier truck can transfer four to six four-wheelers. The auto carrier option depends on the four-wheeler type, condition, and budget.

Looking at all the above transport options, repositioning via a carrier truck is the most flexible way of relocating a car. The road network is well connected, and you can use it to take your ride to any part of the country. Furthermore, they are affordable compared to hauling a car via plane or train.

How To Dispatch A Four-Wheeler?

You can reach out to a carrier firm directly or through a broker. Carrier brokers work with an extensive network of transport teams to help customers find the best transferring option that suits their needs.

Even though shifting teams work in different ways, here is a simple procedure used by many haulers to ship cars:

Request Quotes

The first thing to do is to request quotes from multiple transit firms. Most companies will require you to answer the following questions when filling out a quote form:

• Vehicle make and year of manufacture
• Pickup location and destination
• Timelines (pickup and delivery dates)
• Auto-moving option (Open carrier or enclosed carrier)
• Vehicle condition (operable or inoperable)

The transporter will give an instant quote upon filling out the quote form. However, with a broker, you may not find a quote immediately because they have to find one that suits you.

Note that the quote is only an estimate of how much you’re likely to pay as a hauling cost. However, you should not expect the quote to change much, especially if the information you provide to the quote form is accurate.

Pick A Firm

Once you have multiple quotes, compare them and select one that suits your needs. At this point, you may be required to make a small payment as a deposit to confirm your booking. You should go for a company that allows for partial payment at the beginning of the delivery process and complete payment once the process is done.

Ensure the payment options provided by the removalist are suitable for you. Also, they should be verifiable in case of issues at any stage of the shipping process. Even though other payment options are applicable, most repositioning providers prefer payments through credit and debit cards.

Prepare Your Vehicle For Shifting

Once you have signed a deal with the hauling team, they will give you a convenient pickup date for both parties. You can then go ahead and prepare your ride for dispatching. Here is a checklist of things you should do while waiting for the pickup date;

• Take your ride for service maintenance
• Clean the interior and exterior of your ride
• Declutter the car
• Leave the fuel tank no more than ¼ full
• Put together documentation

Drop Off And Pick Up Your Vehicle

On the pickup date, take your vehicle to the pickup location (terminal-to-terminal service) or wait for the carrying team to pick up the car from your location (door-to-door service). Inspect the vehicle with the carrier truck driver before signing a form noting any pre-existing damages.

Reputable transit companies provide regular updates on the shipping progress, while others go further to provide GPS tracking.

One or two days before arrival at the destination, you will get a notification to pick up your ride. Once again, inspect the four-wheeler with the carrier truck driver. If you’re satisfied with the condition of your four-wheeler, make the final payment and sign the lading bill before driving it away.
