Q. HOW MUCH NOTICE
DO YOU NEED?
A. We would like to have 2 to 3, weeks prior notice to your
shipment, however if you need to move a car immediately, we still
may be able to help. For example, we have terminals in most major
cities and can usually get a car picked up within 24hrs if you
yourself are leaving. You also have the option to drop the car
to a terminal if you are leaving the same day you call us. If
a shipper changes their shipping dates at the last minute, we
may need to fill a space on that truck immediately and you will
still get your car delivered in 10 to 14 days or less even though
we didn't have sufficient notice. Tell us what you need, if we
can't make it happen, we'll tell you up front and offer our best
suggestions to help you.
Q. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TRANSPORTED?
A. Generally it takes a few days to select a driver, plus
the actual driving time to the destination. However, there is
no guaranteed delivery time since many factors are involved, such
as time of the year.
Q. WHERE WILL MY
CAR BE PICKED UP AND DELIVERED?
A. Due to the fact that most of the trucks are 75 feet in
length, it is impossible for them to get into most residential
areas. Low hanging wires, narrow streets, and municipal ordinances
are just a few of the obstacles we face. Therefore, we ask that
you work with the truck driver in arranging a mutually acceptable
place for you to meet to load and unload your vehicle.
Q. IS MY CAR INSURED?
A. Your vehicle is insured for the blue book value the entire
time it is on the truck. Occurrences not covered are clearly listed
on your Shipping Order and on the Bill of Lading upon which your
car is shipped. A condition report is done on pick-up. The person
turning the car over and the truck driver both sign this report
and a copy is given to the party delivering the car. This same
report is presented upon delivery of the vehicle at its destination
and you should compare the car to the report thoroughly at that
time. If, for some reason, you feel that some damage has occurred,
you must note it on the report before you sign it and before the
driver leaves. Any claims made after this time will not be honored.
Q. CAN I PACK THINGS
IN MY CAR?
A. Any personal belongings left in vehicle are shipped strictly
at the owner's personal risk. This policy is strictly enforced
for the following reason:
Personal belongings
are not covered by the carrier's insurance. The driver will not
inventory any such items and will not assume responsibility for
them.
The added weight can
and will use damage to the exhaust system and this is also not
covered by the carrier's insurance.
Items not properly
packed may fly around the inside of a vehicle and damage its interior.
This is not covered by the carrier's insurance.
The Department of Transportation
basically does not legally allow for the transport of the household
goods (personal belongings) in vehicles being transported on auto
carriers. They have been known to take vehicles of the truck,
unload for inspection, and simply leave goods sittings on the
side of the road.. All trucks are subject to this.
Please remember this when having your vehicle transported.
Q. HOW DO I PAY FOR THIS SERVICE?
A. We accept cashier checks, or cash. Sorry, we do not accept
credit cards at this time.
Q. WHAT IF MY VEHICLE GETS TO THE DESTINATION BEFORE I DO?
A. If you or your agent are not available to receive the vehicle,
it will be kept in a locked storage facility. Storage fees may
add expense to your transportation cost.
PLEASE MAKE SPECIAL
NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING:
WE DO NOT GUARANTEE ANY PARTICULAR DAY, TIME OR LOCATION FOR THE
PICK-UP OR DELIVERY OF YOUR VEHICLE. ALL TRANSPORTS ARE WORKED
ON THE ROUTING AND SCHEDULED OF THE TRUCK, NOT ON THE TIME FRAME
OF ANY CERTAIN VEHICLE OR VEHICLES.
We try very hard to work with you and your time frame to the best
of our ability and ask that you do the same for us. Each truck
is working 8 to 11 cars at all times and they are continually
picking up and dropping cars. They are constantly contending the
weather conditions, road conditions, traffic conditions, mechanical
function and DOT regulation. You must keep these things in mind
during all phases of your transport.
PLEASE BE SURE TO READ
ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS LISTED ON THE THE REVERSE SIDE
OF YOUR SHOPPING ORDER. THESE ARE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT
GOVERN YOUR TRANSPORT.
We have tried to answer
some of the questions people most often ask. If there is something
that we have missed, please feel free to give us a call.
Thank you for your time and interest.
