Shifting
Moving a vehicle to Tupelo can be easily accomplished when you follow these tips from A-1 Auto Transport:
- It’s often advisable to try to hire a firm that is local to the area when hauling a vehicle to the city. Local firms know the roads and they know how traffic is in specific areas. Keep in mind that the truck may not be able to transit the vehicle to your home address as many roadways in the area are small and narrow and will not allow access to large carriers. You will most likely need to make arrangements to meet the truck at a nearby location.
- When you contact businesses, be sure to ask them some very important questions upfront. You will want to ask if they offer free quotes and how they determine their rates for delivery. Ask if they are licensed and registered with the DOT and how long it will take them to schedule pick-up and delivery. The more questions you ask, the better chance of learning as much as possible about the individual company and making an educated determination on the organization to hire.
- Remove all personal items from the ride. The auto carrier will not be responsible for loss or damage of personal items nor will they be responsible for damage to your automobile if personal items in the auto are loose and damage the interior or windows of the vehicle.
