Car preparation tips before shipping

A few simple steps can make the entire process move along swiftly and keep you from running into unavoidable costs. The FMCSA will penalize a transport company that breaks the set weight restrictions. Removing personal goods from the car and running down the gas helps to cut down the load.

• Insurance policies will not cover the personal items and valuables that you leave inside the car.
• Custom DVD players and GPS stems count as personal items.
• Keep the gas level at about 1/4 of the tank, which is enough to load and unload the vehicle.

Mechanical problems may cause a lot of difficulty for the truck driver during transportation. Make sure that the vehicle does not have any issues before giving it out. You may take if for repair or make a note of the special operating instructions needed for the car. Check all the fluid levels, clear out any leaks, keep the battery fully charged, and make sure that you have well-inflated tires. Some external parts and accessories can get damaged during the shipping process. You may have to remove the items or cover them well. Some transport companies will ask that you remove all custom accessories like spoilers and fog lights. Cover then fold-in the side-view mirrors and retract the antenna. If the alarm system goes off during transportation, the driver might use any means necessary to turn it off. Make sure that you disable the system before handing over the car. Prepare a set of keys for the driver as well.
